Re: bad knees

I've been told the most important part of protecting my knees is the equal development of my quads (the knee extensors) and the hamstrings (the knee flexors).  Your orthopedic surgeon should have given you the exercises to develop the proper muscle groups.

I'm not an expert in these areas (I'm not dancingdoc)...so I would say contact your doc.  I doubt we'll ever have an expert doc in dancing visit this site again.

>I've had arthroscopic (sp)surgery on both knees some time agao to remove loose cartiledge.  Recently the right knee has been bothering me again.  Know of any exercises that might forestall a second operation on that knee?
