Did you know that many folks who suffer back pain also suffer knee pain? When a body part has been injured or hurts, it is normal for the body to try and protect it. This is called guarding.

When a body part is compromised, the next weight-bearing joint takes on an added responsibility of support. When the body part is the back or the hips for instance, the knees become the next weight-bearing joint. In prolonged cases, the knees can become vulnerable to injury and develop their own set of problems.

It is important therefore for anyone with a back problem to try and avoid knee problems. Here is a webpage that contains some good information about knees and how to protect this vulnerable weight bearing joint. I hope you find it helpful!
