Stiff or painful low back? Try this McKenzie progression:
1 Prone on elbows
Relax here and let your low back settle.
2 Press ups
Press your chest up and straighten elbows
3 Press ups + exhale at the top
At the top, fully exhale to help gain a little more extension.
Move slowly and notice how your symptoms respond. For many people, these exercises can help reduce stiffness and improve motion. If pain is traveling farther down the leg, stop and get assessed.
10 reps each or start with the version that feels best for you.

Move better. Feel better. Stay better.

At KD Physical Therapy, I use the McKenzie Method (MDT) to assess your movement, find your directional preference, and give you the tools to take control of your pain.

✔️ 1:1 sessions
✔️ Clear, personalized plan
✔️ Empowered self-treatment

Because the goal isn’t just relief. It’s long-term independence.

Thanks for the amazing photos.

Knee osteoarthritis tip: use a chair, bench, or sturdy surface indoors or outside. Place your right foot up on the surface and gently piston up and down to help improve right knee bend and decrease pain.

A helpful modification: lean your body forward a little and find the angle that feels best and helps reduce pain.

Try about 10 reps, moving in a slow, controlled way. It should feel like a gentle mobility drill, not a forceful push.
Move within a comfortable range and let pain be your guide. Small, consistent movement can help your knee feel better.

Balance work doesn’t need a gym—just a minute and a little creativity.

Exercise to improve balance in small doses like this build ankle strength, improve stability, and help reduce injury risk—whether you’re walking, running, or just navigating uneven ground. Your environment is your equipment.

Spring is here 🌿—more time outside, more gardening, more bending.

All that forward work can add up on your back.

Try this:
➡️ Every 20–30 minutes, pause and do 5–6 gentle backbends
➡️ Hands on low back, lift your chest, look slightly up
➡️ Move within comfort—no pain

A small reset can go a long way in keeping your spine feeling good so you can stay out there longer.

Your next posture is your best posture. Keep moving.

Bone health tip: jumping from an 8-inch height with a quick rebound jump, can help stimulate bone density by giving your bones a safe, higher-impact loading challenge. This type of weight-bearing exercise may also help build power and coordination.
A few reminders:
• Weight bear only as tolerated
• Consider any joint pain before starting
• Start with fewer reps and lower frequency
• Slowly progress over time as your body adapts
Quality matters more than quantity—focus on a soft, controlled landing and good alignment.
