Knee stability exercises 💪🏋️‍♀️🦴

3 basic exercises to improve your knee stability:

1. Anterior step down
Standing on a step, place one leg out in front and slowly lower the heel down towards the floor by squatting down on the leg remaining on the step. Then repeat and swap over to the other leg.

2. Bridge with ball squeeze
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place a small ball between your knees and squeeze slightly to hold the ball in place.
Squeeze the buttocks and roll the pelvis off the floor slowly, then repeat.

3. Single-leg chair squat
Stand tall on one leg in front of a chair. Squat down slowly on the one leg, touch the seat with your buttocks then push back up to standing. Repeat, then swap to the other leg.
* note: start with a raised chair/surface and lower to make harder.

💪🎯 Challenge time at the gym! 🎯💪

Our partners at gym.bound were caught having fun in our gym and set the bar high (literally! 😄).

The challenge?
👉 Jump onto a high box
👉 Keep a tennis ball balanced
👉 On an upturned hand weight

Sounds simple… until you try it! 🏋️‍♂️😅

A brilliant test of strength, coordination, balance and focus — and plenty of fun along the way. Huge thanks to theGYMBOUNDd team for bringing the energy and creativity into our space.

Can you rise to the challenge?

Myth: You Can Teach Yourself Physiotherapy

Just because you can find exercises online doesn’t mean you should DIY your recovery. 🧠💥
Physiotherapy isn’t just about doing a few stretches — it’s about doing the right ones, the right way, for your body.
👩‍⚕️ Physiotherapists bring:
✅ Years of training
✅ Hands-on experience
✅ Customised treatment plans
✅ Expert guidance on form & technique
Choosing the wrong exercises — or doing them incorrectly — can slow your recovery or even make things worse. Trust the pros to guide your healing.
