To attempt to unlock your knee at home, follow these steps:
- Sit down to take the pressure off your knee, as advised in the reference. This is important to avoid further strain.
- Extend your leg straight out in front of you and point your toe upwards. This positions the leg for the next step.
- Raise your leg up as high as it will comfortably go. This initiates the movement to release the knee.
- Bend your knee in and out towards your body until you hear a pop. According to the reference, this should cause a release.
Important Considerations
- This method is suggested as a way to attempt to unlock the knee at home but might not work for all situations.
- If you experience pain, immediately stop and consult a healthcare professional.
- This should not be considered a substitute for medical advice.
- The "pop" can sometimes be the joint simply moving and does not always indicate a successful release.
