In addition, the knee is mostly ligament tissue and bones, and there are few muscles, that is, "more muscles and less flesh", so the blood circulation here is relatively poor, and we usually feel cool when we touch the knee. Therefore, one of the key points of maintaining the knee joint is to give it heat and massage. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people should develop the habit of covering their knees with their hands and massaging them appropriately when sitting on chairs and sofas.
