Troubleshoot Your Knee Pain: Part 2
If you missed last week's video ("Troubleshoot Your Knee Pain with this One Exercise") about how to figure out what area of your fascia is causing your knee pain, go back and watch it!
After releasing the fascia in the areas that are the best fit for you, it’s time to implement some strength training.
Typically when certain areas of your fascia become restricted, other surrounding muscles become weak. So in order to keep your knee pain from returning, building strength in the muscles around your knee is imperative!
In this video, Jason McQueen (CPT and strength training coach) and I walk you through our top 3 exercises for helping you keep your knee pain away. They are:
- Split Squats
- Single Leg Deadlifts
- Monster Walks
Watch the video to see the full explanation of the correct form.
Sets, reps, and frequency will differ per person, but our recommended starting place is to do 3 sets of 10-12 reps. Repeat these exercises 2-3 times a week.
One final reminder: it makes a huge difference to release your fascia first. This can bring down your knee pain and enable you to do these strength training exercises with minimal (or hopefully zero) knee pain.
