Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Squats can be great for the knees if done correctly. One must practice proper form and that entails keeping the shins as vertical as possible throughout the motion which in turn requires a certain degree of hamstring, groin, and lumbar flexibility. Severe ligamentous laxity on the knee joint can be a risk for those in such condition. On the other hand, squats done in good form can also strengthen the knees in a way that well compensates for the lig laxity. Those folks with such preconditions should proceed cautiously and preferably with the guidance of a PT or a knowledgeable physical trainer. jo On Wednesday, July 28, 2004, at 09:15 PM, wrote: > > There are 25 messages in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1.
