Learn relaxing Yao and Kua and it can resolve knee pain issues.

The often overlooked detail of Tai Chi's "relaxing the waist and sinking the hips" (relax Yao and sink Kua) is that "relaxing" and sinking the hips can resolve knee pain issues.

"Relaxing the waist and sinking the hips" is one of the key methods in Tai Chi for learning internal energy by relaxing the outer limbs. At the same time, by relaxing the outer muscles, it alleviates knee pain.
We can explore the posture of "relaxing the waist and sinking the hips" from the perspective of knee pain. In Tai Chi, relaxing and sinking the hips happens because the upper body is loosened, along with the relaxation of the waist, hips, and thigh muscles. This allows the energy to sink down to the soles of the feet, so the body’s weight does not press on the knees. Instead, the weight is released from the knees. Because of this, the practice of "relaxing the waist and sinking the hips" in Tai Chi can effectively alleviate knee pain.
If you can make "relaxing the waist and sinking the hips" a habit, it can change the way you bend your knees, helping you easily avoid knee pain. This principle can also be applied to activities like hiking and running, preventing knee damage caused by the pressure of body weight. Furthermore, "relaxing the waist and sinking the hips" is the first step in practicing Tai Chi’s "whole-body force" . For beginners, this technique allows them to learn "whole-body force" from the very start and provides a way to correct improper movements and habits, improving from simple squatting movements to cultivating internal energy.
