🔥 KNEE PAIN TRAINING SERIES – PART 2 🔥
Knee pain doesn't always mean you need to stop training. More often than not, you need to train smarter by improving strength, mobility, stability, and movement mechanics around the knee.
In this session, we focused on a combination of mobility, soft tissue work, strength, and low-impact conditioning:
✅ Jacob's Ladder – an excellent low-impact cardio option that challenges your fitness without excessive stress on the knees.
✅ Myofascial release with a foam roller – helping to reduce tension and improve tissue quality around the quads, IT band, calves, and glutes.
✅ Reverse walking on the treadmill– a fantastic exercise to strengthen the muscles that support the knee, particularly the VMO (inner quad), while improving joint function.
✅ Lateral weight slide into a lunge – targeting the inner thigh muscles and surrounding soft tissues to improve strength, mobility, and knee control in multiple planes of movement
✅ Reverse sled pull– one of my favourite exercises for building knee resilience, strengthening the quadriceps, and improving knee function with minimal joint impact.
✅ Side step-ups – developing lateral strength, balance, and stability, which are often overlooked in traditional training programmes.
✅ TRX-assisted pistol squats/single leg squat – improving single-leg strength, control, mobility, and confidence while allowing support where needed.
Remember, healthy knees require more than just strengthening the knee itself. Strong glutes, mobile hips, resilient soft tissues, and proper movement patterns all play a role.
