This therapeutic routine to address knee pain with gentle hip, knee, and ankle exercises—all done from a chair. We will begin by addressing muscles that cross the knee by performing some gentle isometrics in the chair to jump-start weak areas. However, we will quickly move into the hip influence with some internal and external seated hip exercises using the thigh band and sponge ball.
The chair will also be used as a support for some standing hip extension, knee flexion, and outer hip / abduction exercise in standing. Practice some ankle exercises using the chair to minimize knee stress due to muscle weakness. This routine moves at a slower pace with many cues to help the exercises feel more comfortable. Suitable for all levels.
