Struggling with knee pain? Try these 4 key exercises to build strength and stability in the early phases of rehab!
1️⃣ Wall Sit – strengthen your quads and stabilize your knees without excessive strain. Since they’re isometric, they build strength in a static position, which can reduce pain sensitivity and improve neuromuscular control.
2️⃣ Glute Bridge – Activates the glutes and hamstrings, also known as the posterior chain, thereby reducing stress on the knees.
3️⃣ Seated Quad Extensions – Helps rebuild quad strength and control for better knee support. Add weight or resistance as tolerated!
4️⃣ Single-Leg Hip Hinge – Improves balance and strengthens the posterior chain to enhance knee stability.
These low-impact movements lay the foundation for pain-free movement and long-term knee health! Try them out and let me know how they feel.
