Froggy brother's and sisters: Do you have any specific dry land exercises you do for your knees. I know extensions and curls are good to stabilise. Anyone have any other tips? Rich

    I think a general flexibility program would be helpful, too. If your hip flexors, hamstrings, quads, etc. are not as tight, there might be less stress and pulling on your knees. Just a thought ... I hope it helps! :) I agree...stretching all the muscles around your knee will help with its flexibility. so stretch before warmup, then while warming up do a few laps of really easy *** kick to get the feel. Then your ready! if it hurts after then just ice... well thats what i do anyway. i think my knees are mad at me for swimming so long. Just got to stop dislocating it i guess ;)
