Preventing Knee Hyperextension While Standing at Work

Physical therapy helped me because she was able to show me specifically what I was doing wrong (because of my hypermobility) and train me to use the right muscles when I'm standing and walking. It's been a big help with my knee pain in particular. I'm guessing you could get a similar education online as well if PT isn't affordable for you. It's mainly been about taking my knees to 100% extension (how I used to stand) and learning from there that 90% is actually the safe amount for me, in addition to letting my thighs take a more active role in holding me upright. Hope that helps 💚

I'd go with hinged knee braces, they only go to a certain angle before refusing to go further. If you can gett copper-infused, that'll help any knee pain as well. Something else you could use is kinesiology tape, it kinda tugs a little on your skin when you stretch too far and can be a reminder to fix your knee positions. Hope this helps ❤️
