3 Exercises to Ease Knee Pain When Squatting

Today's video covers exercises that can help relieve knee pain that occurs when squatting. During squatting exercises and tasks, pain on the front of the knee is a common symptom. In most cases, this pain is associated with the joint behind the kneecap, which is called the patellofemoral joint.
Previous research has shown that gluteal strengthening exercises and gradual quadriceps strengthening exercises can help reduce pain and improve capacity of the patellofemoral joint.
For a more comprehensive patellofemoral joint pain program, be sure to checkout my new book. The book includes rehab exercise programs for the 50 most common orthopedic injuries and each body region has its own chapter. Click the following Amazon link to learn more about my book. a.co/d/ewoOH5V

My knee hurts as I go up the stairs. I have been doing glute exercises and will continue to. Thanks

[@RehabScience]

I’m glad to hear you are doing glute exercises as they can also help with stair climbing. I hope this video is helpful to you as well.

Hey Dr. Tom. Overtime should we be increasing resistance or weight with rehab type exercises?

[@RehabScience]

Yes, you would want to gradually increase load/resistance just as you would with a traditional strength training program.

I would recommend the knee instability program in the knee chapter in my book. It is much more comprehensive than my KZbin videos and will guide you through three phases of rehab. Here is a link for my book. Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal from Injury a.co/d/51dB6l0
