4. Don’t resist resistance.

Side-lying leg lifts and straight-leg raises are a great way to build quad strength, especially when you add weight gradually.
Quadriceps strength is key when it comes to reducing stress on our knee joints. Start small. Try using five pound ankle weights initially, and work toward higher resistance.

3. Stability and alignment matter.

Calf raises help build calf muscle strength and ankle strength, which in turn improves knee stability. Don’t be afraid to fatigue your muscles, as long as you aren’t finding discomfort. Stable and strong calves and ankles mean your knees are less likely to absorb all stress. Pay special attention to your alignment and weight distribution to avoid strain.

2. Squats = strength, support and shock absorption.

The important thing to remember here is how far is too far. Half squats are often a safer option for people with knee pain. You can do them against a wall to ensure the safety of your back or use a counter or chair ledge for balance and support. Be sure to go slowly, keep your core tight and back flat, breathe and keep your feet hip width distance apart.

Five Quick Exercise Tips for Knee Pain :1

You’ve probably heard the expression, “exercise is the best medicine. Exercise can be beneficial for aches and pains, especially if you’re suffering from chronic knee problems or pain from arthritis.

We focus on strengthening muscles surrounding the joint to relieve pressure and tension and prevent injury. Below we offer some tips for relieving knee pain.

If you’re experiencing knee pain, it’s important to reexamine what steps you’re taking to protect your joint.That could include paying more attention to your form or technique when exercising or considering doing exercises specific to conditioning the muscles that support your knees.

Five Quick Exercise Tips for Knee Pain

1.Always check your form and alignment.

This is non-negotiable, and is especially important when in a bent position or squat. Check to see if your knees are protruding over your toes. If they are, you’re putting unnecessary (and often damaging) pressure and stress on your knees.

Neck-related (Cervicogenic) Headaches & Physiotherapy: 4

How do you treat Cervicogenic Headaches?
As the most common cause of CGH is a dysfunction of the upper cervical joints and muscles, we start by finding out specifically which ones are causing your symptoms. You and your physiotherapist can work together to release the tight muscles and joints within the upper neck by manual therapy and specific exercises.Physical therapy and an ongoing exercise regimen often produce the best outcomes. Over time, our aim will be to strengthen the deep stabilizing muscles of the neck, and to improve our posture while at work or school.
