Set a timer to move every 30 minutes. ⏰
Dr. Strickland suggests setting a timer to move every 30 minutes, as well as completing quad and hamstring stretches a few times a day.
"For the quads, try reaching back and pulling your heel toward your buttock," Dr. Strickland says."For your hamstrings, prop your heel on an ottoman and lean over your leg — you should feel the stretch from your buttock down to the back of your knee." If you plan on being seated for a while, Dr. Strickland suggests propping up your foot for periods of time so that the knee isn't rested in one position all day.
Knee pain can be caused by more than just sitting still, so if you regularly deal with this type of pain — especially after exercise — reach out to your doctor for a specific diagnosis and set of instructions.
