We require our knees to do a lot over the years and, unfortunately, they can ache and need a bit of attention along the way.
If you are a patient of mine I may have given you some mobility, strengthening and stretching exercises. Here are links to help you remember how to do the exercises but there are more than I would give any one patient and they may be specific to particular dysfunction, so please talk to your osteopath before attempting an exercise that has not been prescribed for you or if any exercise gives you pain.
Quadricep strengthening (3 levels) squat
Crab walking with resistance band
Bosu ball instability: squats (2 levels), step-up & lunge, jumping squats
For patients diagnosed with ITBS (Iliotibial Band Syndrome ) I may recommend these exercises:
Stretching:
Gluteal muscles.
Advanced Gluteal stretches if you have ‘good’ knees
TFL (Tensor fascia latae)
Strengthening:
Gluteal muscles
ABductor muscles
Advanced for runners:
Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind
me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind if
I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of
yourself during the coronavirus scare!
I used a website builder package, but very adaptable, from https://www.happyhearthq.com/jet-set-websites-2/ . I highly recommend their template option, although it does take a lot of time! Another option is that they can also do all the work for you.
