If your knee pain is being driven by poor hip stability, strengthening your glutes can make a real difference.

In this video, Rachel shares two simple exercises we regularly prescribe to help improve hip stability, reduce the load on the knee and build better movement patterns.

Remember, not all knee pain has the same cause. That’s why we’ll always assess the whole lower limb to understand what’s contributing to your symptoms before recommending the right exercises.

If knee pain is stopping you from doing the things you love, our team is here to help.

Good balance is about much more than not falling over.

If you’re struggling with knee pain, one area that’s often overlooked is balance and proprioception—your body’s ability to sense where your joints are and work together to keep you stable.

Standing on one leg might seem simple, but it’s a fantastic way to challenge the entire lower limb.

When you balance on one leg, you’re asking your:
✔️ Hip muscles to stabilise your pelvis
✔️ Knee to stay controlled
✔️ Foot and ankle to respond to small movements
✔️ Nervous system to coordinate it all together

That’s exactly how your body works in everyday life.

💡 Here’s Rachel’s tip:
Aim to stand on one leg for around 30 seconds. It’s okay to feel a little wobbly—that’s your body working! Once you can do it comfortably without putting your other foot down, it’s time to make it more challenging.

Try:
🎾 Throwing a ball up and down
👀 Closing your eyes
↔️ Turning your head from side to side

If knee pain has gradually built up over time, the answer isn’t always to focus on the knee itself. At Active Health, we’ll always assess above and below the knee to understand what’s contributing to your symptoms and create a treatment plan that’s right for you.

💚 If knee pain is affecting your everyday life, we’d love to help.

Did you know your knee pain might not actually be a knee problem?

If your knee pain has gradually built up over time—not from a twist, trip or fall—it’s important to look beyond the knee itself.

Very often, factors such as reduced strength or control around the hip, changes in the way you move, or even issues lower down at the ankle or foot can all contribute to ongoing knee pain.

That’s why, at Active Health, we don’t just focus on where it hurts.

Our physiotherapists will always assess above and below the knee to understand how your whole body is moving and identify the root cause of your symptoms—not just treat the painful area.

The result? A treatment plan that’s tailored to you, helping you move better, recover well and reduce the likelihood of the pain returning.

If knee pain is stopping you from doing the things you love, we’d love to help.

It’s rarely the leaking that affects women the most.

It’s everything they stop doing because of it.

Not going for a run.

Skipping the trampoline with the kids.

Avoiding exercise classes.

Saying no to long walks.

Losing confidence in your own body.

Over time, these little decisions can add up until your world starts to feel a little smaller.

If you’ve quietly stopped doing something you love because something doesn’t feel right, please know this: you don’t have to just put up with it.

Our Women’s Health Physiotherapist, Erinn, helps women understand what’s causing their symptoms and supports them with a personalised treatment plan to help them get back to doing the things they love.

This is Episode 3 of our Women’s Health series, where we’re opening up honest conversations about women’s health.

If this resonates with you, we’d love to help.
