When you extend, or straighten, your knee beyond a straight line, itâs called hyperextension, which can injure the knee and other parts of your body. Itâs quite common among yoga students at all levels, and certain asanas can exacerbate the condition if you repeatedly do them incorrectly.
Treatment. Immediate treatment of a hyperextended knee should include using crutches, elevating it when you are sitting or lying down and icing your injury. Acetaminophen also can reduce pain. Knee pain treatment will depend on the severity of the injury. Rest and physical therapy may be required for a mild hyperextension, while surgery may be an option for a hyperextension that has resulted in a ligament tear.
