Knee pain shouldn't last all day long for days on end. If your knees feel weak or achy, these 3 knee strengthening exercises can be a perfect place to start in removing your chronic knee pain.
In this video, JAG PT's own physical therapist Imani Coleman demonstrates the following knee strengthening exercises:
Single-Leg RDL – 3 sets x 10 reps — helps strengthen the back of your leg so your knee doesn't have to work as hard
Heels Elevated Squats – 3 sets 10 reps — helps build up your quad strength so any extra stress that's usually placed on your knees is removed.
Curtsy Lunges – 3 sets 10 reps — helps targets your hip muscles, which play a bigger role in knee pain than most people realize. Incorporate these movements into your daily routine and watch your knees transform.
