❓Did you know weak hips can contribute to knee pain❓
-
When your hips are stiff or weak, your knees often compensate — leading to extra stress, poor alignment, and discomfort during walking, running, or squatting.
👉 Your hips help control:
• Knee alignment
• Shock absorption
• Leg stability
If they’re not doing their job, your knees pick up the slack.

What You Can Do:
✔ Stretch your hip flexors daily
✔ Strengthen your hip muscles (squats, lunges, bridges)
✔ Work on hip mobility
✔️ Don’t ignore knee pain
Knee pain isn’t always a “knee problem.” Sometimes the real issue is higher up.
