Having trouble squatting without knee pain!??
Try these tips to relieve pressure, engage your glutes, and increase mobility!
1. Banded squats! Helps engage the glute medius to stabilize the pelvis and femur.
2. Assisted squats with a band or spring! Assistance can help with hip mobility, keeping the torso more upright, putting more work into the glutes, and relieving pressure off the knee!
3. Assisted squats with no band or spring! Take a hold of a door jam or something similar and work your range of motion! These are great for opening the pelvic floor and hips while taking some of the work out of the legs! Keep pressing the knees open so they don’t collapse in!
4. Squat taps to a target. I love these for hamstring and glute activation!
Which works for you??
