Pain on the inner knee can mean multiple things, however, if the pain is slightly below the knee and your ligaments and joint pains have been ruled out you could have pes anserine bursitis! Try the above tests and let me know how you do!

How low should you go when squatting without hurting your back explained!

Here is a simple self assessment you can do to see how low you should safely go when squatting. This is because everyone’s hip angles are different and as a result everyone has a slightly different optimal depth they should reach when squatting.
Lye down flat on a bed, bring your knees up slowly towards your chest. As soon as you find your hips coming off the bed, that means you’ve reached our maximum depth. That’s how low you can safely go.

Please note this doesn’t necessarily mean you should never strengthen or move your body beyond this point this just gives you a really good point of reference.

How far apart should your feet 🦶be when you squat?

It actually doesn’t matter, just make sure your knees aren’t collapsing internally when you squat!

If your knee is collapsing internally, this means either your hip abductor muscles are weak or your ankle does not have optimal dorsiflexion. This then causes your knees to fall inwards to compensate for these deficiencies.

How far should your feet be apart when doing a squat 🦵 Explained by a Physiotherapist!

It actually doesn’t matter. Wide angled squat (feet further apart) or close angled (feet closer together) both have their benefits. It’s encouraged you exercise in both angles (or distances of feet apart). However DO NOT DO THIS! ✋🛑🙅‍♂️

When you are squatting make sure your knees are not collapsing internally and have your knees lined up with your toes. If your knees are collapsing it’s mainly due to 2 main things:

1️⃣you have weak glut abductor muscles
2️⃣your ankle mobility is not good, so your knees internally collapse to give you more room to go lower.

Follow this tip to not harm your knees!

Pain on the outer knee? Could be IT band syndrome!
Try these simple tests and see if it is IT band syndrome. Your IT band is a thick fibrous tissue where your TFL and your glut max insert into. The band itself runs along the outer thigh and inserts into the outer parts of the knee.

If you develop weak hips or abductor muscles, or increased tightness it can increase the pull on the IT band and create irritation and pain around your knee. Therefore, despite the pain being around the knee, the solution to is actually work on the muscles on the outside of your hips!

Try the exercises in this video and let me know what you think!

Quick tests you can do to assess if you might have Tennis Elbow 🎾🎾💪
1. Pain with flexing the wrist and extending the elbow on the outer parts of the elbow
2. Pain when gripping or lifting an object, on the outside of the elbow
3. While keeping the elbow extended and the wrist neutral, apply resistance to the middle finger - if this causes pain on the outside of the elbow, this could be another sign

If you test positive for all of these tests, you have good reason to believe you have tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis

Always make sure to get a full assessment by a health professional but this is a great start!

The Difference between your Active muscles/primary muscles and your stabilizers 💪💪

If you have recently sustained an injury, you have to recognize that your stabilizer muscle groups will turn off and your larger active muscles will turn on to do their job. The problem is, your stabilizers are meant to be on all the time and support the joint, so that your large active muscles - your primary movers can move that joint. The stabilizers are smaller deeper layered muscles that have the energy capacity to remain on all the time. However, your primary movers, your larger muscle group is not meant to be on all the time. This leads to fatigue, pain and dysfunction. This is why it’s critical to retain your stabilizer muscles, make sure they are turned back on and reactivated before you start doing heavy movement again.
