Progressive Weight Bearing, Flexion and Rotation for Resilient Knees
Care and the discretion are advised when dealing with an injured and weak knee. But the knee (like all other joints) will ultimately benefit from learning to bear weight, and learning to negotiate weight transfer in a dynamic manner. This last session in this Short Course takes the next step into dynamic weight transfer into the knee.

But the knee (like all other joints) will ultimately benefit from learning to bear weight, and learning to negotiate weight transfer in a dynamic manner. This last session in this Series, takes the next step into dynamic weight transfer into the knee.
It ends with some flexed and rotated knee positions to test the efficacy of all the previous actions
Note:
Those recovering from knee injuries are advised caution in the weight bearing and in approaching the fully flexed/ rotated positions like virasana and padmasana.
