biomechanics

alhumdulillah I've been fortunate enough to never have had any serious injuries. Last week I sprained my right knee, and haven't been able to put too much weight on it. And it's made me realize things I never noticed before. I never realized how we channel energy from our leg to do simple things like open those big heavy doors at buildings. or how we ground ourselves and use your leg muscles and your knee joint when sweeping or vacuuming. We take a lot for granted and don't notice how small things effect other parts of the body. even when you move around when you're laying down in bed and shift, or move, or adjust your blanket... I noticed I propel myself with my legs...which puts pressure on the knees as well.
