Knee pain can make you want to stop using your leg altogether. But avoiding movement isn’t always the answer. Depending on what’s causing your knee pain, gradually losing the muscles around the knee can be an important part of rehabilitation.
Here are 3 simple places to start:
- Banded knee extensions
- Sit to stands
- Lunges
The goal isn’t to push through severe pain - it’s to find a level of movement you can tolerate and progressively build from there. If your knee pain is persistent, worsening or affecting your day-to-day activities, it’s worth getting it assessed.
