Knee pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages. Knee pain may be the result of an injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage. Medical conditions including arthritis, gout and infections also can cause knee pain.
Many types of minor knee pain respond well to self-care measures. Yoga therapy can help relieve knee pain. This is one of the therapeutic series focusing on the knees.
