🦵 Struggling With Your Knees?

Knee pain or instability during sport, gym, or daily movement can often be linked to reduced strength and control around the joint.

So why does knee stability matter?

Your muscles, tendons, and nervous system must work together to control movement — especially under load, speed, and unpredictable conditions.
Without proper control, the knee absorbs more stress than it should.

Here are 3 exercises to build stronger, more stable knees 👇

1️⃣ Assisted Skater Squats
Great for improving single-leg control and reducing knee collapse.

2️⃣ Goblet Squat with Mini Band Cues
Encourages proper knee alignment and activates the glutes.

3️⃣ Elevated Split Squats
Builds strength and balance through a full range of motion.

✨ Focus on slow, controlled movement and proper alignment.
Stronger hips and quads = better knee support.

If knee pain persists, a physiotherapist can help identify the root cause and guide your progression safely.

Your spine is strong, adaptable, and designed to move.
Most back pain is influenced by how we load our body over time things like long sitting, stress, poor sleep, or sudden spikes in activity can all play a role.

✅ Understanding your pain

🏃‍♂️ Knee Pain Below the Kneecap in Kids or Teens?

It could be Osgood-Schlatter’s disease, a common growth-related condition seen in active young athletes, especially during growth spurts.

The good news?
With proper load management, strength training, and time, most cases improve welland surgery is rarely needed.

2 key exercises to help reduce stress on the knee and support sport participation:

🔹 Double-Leg Glute Bridge
Strong hips reduce the load going through the knee.
3 sets of 12–15 reps
➡ Progression: Single-Leg Glute Bridge
3 sets of 8–10 reps each side

🔹 Side Plank + Hip Abduction
Improves hip and knee control during running and jumping.
3 sets of 20–30 seconds each side

✨ Focus on good technique and controlled movement.
Mild discomfort is okay, but pain should not significantly increase during or after exercise.

If pain is limiting sport or not improving, a physiotherapist can help tailor a personalised rehab plan.

Hip clicking or snapping is very common, especially during walking, standing up, or exercise. It can feel strange but isn’t always painful or serious.

In many cases, hip clicking comes from tight hip flexors or reduced control of the glute muscles, rather than joint damage. When the muscles around the hip aren’t working together smoothly, tendons can move abruptly over the hip and create a clicking sensation.

Targeted exercises that improve hip flexibility, glute strength, and pelvic control can help reduce clicking and make hip movement feel smoother and more stable. The exercises shown focus on stretching the hip flexors, activating the glutes, and improving control through the hip.

Clicking without pain is usually okay. However, if the clicking becomes painful, causes catching, or limits your movement, it’s important to have your hip assessed by a physiotherapist.
