Does Cross-Legged Sitting Hurt Your Knees?

Cross-legged sitting is common in Indian homes during meals, prayers, and work. While sitting this way is generally harmless, prolonged periods may place extra stress on the knees, and lower back. People with arthritis, stiffness or mobility may experience greater discomfort. Changing positions, stretching, and maintaining good posture can help reduce strain.
