Holistic, natural prevention, instead of reactive prevention (politically correct prevention, like useless pills, vaccines and many others).

Prevention is better than cure but many people just get the cliche a do not bother to look deeper on prevention!

Thanks a lot for the reminder.

meatlessmama – I’m glad you enjoyed the article! Yes, heels are a disaster for posture and walking biomechanics and can lead to a number of problems. They promote shortening of the calf muscles which can greatly restrict ankle mobility, and as described in the article, put additional stress on the knee as a result. It’s a shame what people will sacrifice for appearance.

Gary – As Mike Robertson points out in Bulletproof Knees, physical therapy is just enough to help you regain basic function and there’s much more that needs to be done to promote optimal function and resistance to pain and injury. Good luck, I hope the information in this article works well for you!

ægil – Don’t discount the importance of prevention! It’s much better to follow a maintenance routine to keep your muscles and joints functioning optimally than to wait until there’s pain or injury. It requires a lot less work to maintain healthy function than it does to regain it after it’s been lost. It’s also a lot less frustrating and painful!
