The Five Pillars of OmKneeHealth
Five connected ways to understand, feed, move, check and care for your knees. Choose a pillar to explore it.
One remarkable joint.
Your knee has to combine movement with stability while repeatedly responding to the demands of your body and the world around you.
Cartilage provides smooth joint surfaces. Menisci help distribute forces. Ligaments contribute to stability. Muscles and tendons generate and control movement. Synovial fluid forms part of the environment within the joint.
Together, these structures allow us to walk, climb, squat, run, jump and change direction.
Your knees through life.
The demands we place on our knees change.
Childhood becomes sport and study. Work and family alter how we move. Training changes. Injuries sometimes intervene. Later in life, maintaining strength, mobility and independence can become increasingly important.
There is no single formula for knee health at every age.
The aim is to understand what your knees need now, while maintaining the capacity to keep moving into the future.
