Best Answer

There are joints in the body that take on stress or strain when walking, these may be located in the hips knees, feed or even the back. if cartilage has been damaged and you have a situation where there is bone on bone at the joints or pressure is exerted on nerves passing between the joints it is helpful to reduce the strain placed on these joints, thus reducing the pain involved in movement and the damage done by wear and tear on these joints. often it is also helpful to strengthen muscles with especially designed exercises surrounding effected joints as well to help in these situations.
