====================================================
Knee pain is a condition that affects millions of people every year. In fact, knee pain ranks third on the list of most common injuries that I see as a physical therapist (low back pain and neck pain are numbers one and two). If you have (or have ever experienced) knee pain, you know how debilitating this condition can be. Simple tasks like walking, standing, and stairs can become nearly impossible.
Luckily, there’s a lot that performing the right exercises can do to decrease your pain and help you to feel better. It’s crucial that we strengthen the right muscles the right way in order to improve knee strength and function and therefore decrease pain and help you to feel better.
So that’s what I wanted to share with you today! Six simple physical therapy exercises you can do at home to strengthen the muscles that act on your knee and, as a result, improve stability and function.
Keep in mind that whenever I talk about the knee in my clinic, I usually refer to it as a “dumb joint“. It flexes (bends) and extends (straightens) and that’s about it. Often times when the knee is painful it is actually because of where our knee is operating in space. This is controlled by the muscles of the hip and ankle which are responsible for how your knee bends. I am including exercises for those two areas given their importance in knee function and pain.
Here are my top five exercises to help you decrease knee pain and increase strength. Between the exercises in this video and those found in part one of this series you’ve got a great home routine that will hopefully help you out of some of the pain/discomfort that you may be experiencing.
1. LONG ARC QUAD - 3 sets of 10-20 reps really gets the quads fired up. Can cause pain in some conditions in which case you should forego this exercise.
2. STANDING HAMSTRING CURL - 3 sets of 10-20 reps. Important in helping stabilize the knee and supporting the ACL.
3. SQUATS - 3 sets of 10-20 reps. Go as low as possible without pain.
4. HIP ABDUCTION - 3 sets of 10 reps on each leg. One of my favorites for knee stability.
5. DEADLIFTS - 3 sets of 10-20 reps. Fires the hip extensors and hamstrings to improve knee function.
6. HEEL RAISES - 3 sets of 20-30 reps. One of your calf muscles (gastrocnemius) crosses your knee joint and assists in knee flexion (bending). Don’t neglect this muscle while training your knee!
Hope you enjoyed those exercises and I hope they help you out of some of the pain or discomfort you may be experiencing. Be sure to LIKE, SHARE, and COMMENT; thanks so much for watching!
How long have you been experiencing knee pain? These are the same exercises I give patients to perform at home on a daily basis and I hope they help you out!
My left knee has been sore after running, for a couple of months now. I've started following the part 1 video and will progress onto this one once that gets easy. Thanks for the info 👍🏻
Hi kindly Shere growing kid's exercises for good health
Hello from France, I've suffering of patellofemoral pain syndrome for the last 5 years and I'm a bit desperate right now. Which exercises would you recommand specifically and is it ok tu keep running while the reeducation. Thank you very much.
my whole life.
I liked your phase one video and my knee pain is quite better
I have an unhappy triad injury to my right knee. You know torn mm, acl and mcl. I used to say oh I can't do this or I can't do that because of my injury for about ten years after it happened. Finally I said you know I'm going to do it anyway! No such thing as can't! Ever since I started hiking, a lot to rehab my knee I have no pain, it has never gone out on me. Serious injury and I am fine. So I can attest to the fact that strengthening the muscles that support the knee really does help eliminate knee pain and increase mobility. You just have pace yourself and increase intensity gradually and know your limitations. But don't let a knee injury stop you from attaining your fitness goals.
Love love love this, Andi! Thank you so much for sharing your story! I can't stress the importance of keeping these areas strong in order to remain functional. Thank you for the powerful testimonial!

Hi there! Once the Phase 1 knee strengthening exercise have produced the desired results would you then also do the Phase 2 knee strengthening exercise immediately after or should the Phase 1 exercises be dropped and just the Phase 2 exercises be carried out on their own once the muscles supporting the knee are strong enough . Thank you for the excellent free content Jared.

Hi! Thank you so much for these videos!! They have really really helped me! I know this is an old video, but really hope you are able to answer this:)
Firstly, can you do phase 1 and 2 together every day? Secondly, should we be doing knee stretches and exercises together? Or should stretches be done at the end? Is it harmful to do many knee exercises everyday? Thank you so much for everything! :)

@@toneandtighten I don't feel pain during my squats, I feel it later on during the day should I stop squatting?
Thanks so much for these videos they look really helpful. I have patellar tendinitis, I’ve been going to a physio for a couple of months but it’s taking a while to improve. I know you said the first exercise in this video might not be the best for patellar tendinitis but do you recommend the rest of these exercises for it? I’m desperate for something to fix it.
It was apparently caused by my foot rolling in when I walked so my knee wasn’t aligned, so I wear insoles now to support my arch. Just hope it gets better soon
My knee buckled skating a couple of weeks ago which caused some significant swelling and pain. These exercises are working quite well. Thank you. I can't do deep bodyweight squats anymore though, too risky and painful. Would these be a suitable substitute for the squats especially the 15% bodysquat?
Hello from Germany. Super flow very effective, many thanks.

Hi Jared. Having recently pulled my calf muscle, which has now recovered, I am now using you Phase 1 knee strengthening exercises to strengthening my calves, quads and hamstrings. Once able to complete the Phase 1 exercises proficiently, would to also do the Phase 2 exercises in addition or would you completely drop the Phase 1 exercise and just do the Phase 2 exercises? Many thank for the great content.

Yes but after doing d exercises I feel my knee very stiff why is that?
Thank you sir. I'm 15 and recently the pain I've had on barbell squats has become unbearable and even more recently it's been affecting me in more daily activities. These videos have helped me with the pain a ton.
Glad to help!
Love your videos. I have neglected my body a lot after my pregnancy 5 years back and found out I have hip pain when i started walking cardio a couple months back, plus a knee pain in the internal side due to sitting crossed leg on the floor a lot. Will definately start these exercises. Should I still go for a walk inspite of the pain in one hip laterally?
Very good video ur all videos are very useful and knowledge able.god bless u from india haryana
Thank you so much, Parmod Kumar! You're very kind. I hope these things help you, and thanks for commenting!
Thanks for this video. I had quads atrophy after being on leg cast. Been working out at home for months (squats, leg extensions, cant tolerate lunges) but my quads are still small 🙁 it's taking forever I wonder if they would still grow.
Hi, thank you so much for the videos. I have a couple of questions for you if you have the time, thank you in advance for answering them.
I’ve had both hips replaced with posterior approach, one in February and the other in August.
Prior to the operations I had severe muscle degeneration, so now on top of recovering I really need to get my muscles back. Could you suggest some safe exercises for strengthening, to increase mobility and flexibility, I’m still having issues with tying my shoes and anything that requires flexibility. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much, happy holidays!
Do you have any exercises for back of knee or hamstring injuries?
I am 11 weeks post open tkr. These are all exercises my pt therapist has me doing. This is good motivation for my continuing, thanks.
You are welcome! I hope you feel better soon!

Aloha J what is the proper shoulder frame while performing the dead lifts
I enjoyed your video and plan on using several of your movements. I have had severe knee pain for several years and have not used my leg muscles much so they are very weak. I've just gone through a session of 5 injections per knee. My knees feel so much better, but the tendons on either side are still painful. Will these movements for the nice actually help to heal my tendons?
