Today, I’m going to cover the five best exercises to help strengthen your knee, especially after an injury or during recovery.
These exercises will strengthen the muscles in the knee. They will also help provide symmetry between both knees and the muscles in the front of the knee and back of the knee.
Typically, a person will injure one knee, which sets up a pattern of putting pressure on the opposite knee. Over time, this can create asymmetrical stress. You may have hurt your right ankle, but 20 years later, you have pain in your left knee because of years of compensation.
The best exercises to stop knee pain:
1. Quad stretch
2. Heel/calf stretch
3. Half squat
4. Hamstring curl
5. Straight leg raises

Dr. Berg, thank you so very much for your superb advice. I started this exercise program 4 days ago, and am already noticing improvement. I have a slight disability in my right leg, so I am only doing 10 squats to start, however, I'm " good to go" on all of the other exercises. Your video explaining how asymmetric off-set works is fascinating. I began this at the same time, and both knees, especially the right, are improving. I look forward to doing more of you recommended work-outs, and God Bless you for providing this without cost on KZbin! John A. Lombardi, Maryland

Hi Doc, I would like to add one exercise to this list and to me that exercise has been the single exercise that had helped me get rid to left knee pain and churning noise from my knee joint. The exercise is lying side, side leg raises/lifts. I used to do lots of reps till my gluteus medius muscles starts to fatigue. I had seen immediate results. It has helped me in getting rid of my lower back pain too.

Thank you Dr Berg. I Injured my knee recently. This will be helpful. Cheers

[@harrietlyall1991]

Dr Berg, you’re telepathic! You describe my own situation exactly. Eight years ago, I broke my right heel bone and was on crutches 3 months, after which it took me seven years to recover normal muscle tone and strength in the right leg. Starting a couple of years ago, I became aware that my left knee joint seemed to be clicking in and out of alignment and I started getting a painful fallen arch in the left foot. I didn’t need a degree in physiology to work out what was wrong, ie imbalance and over-compensation by the left leg, so your advice is very timely.

[@greenapple1039]

I have also misaligned both by knees by putting weight on one leg while standing for hours after pain started in that knee I started leaning on the other knee now both got misaligned it's very painful and clicking sound comes whenever I squat. I'm in my early Twenties with painful knees.

[@saraa.8672]

My left knee was hurting so bad while exercising this morning, it’s much better after I did the stretches. Seems you felt my pain😀. Thank you Dr. Berg!

Hi doc. Thanks for the great information. I dislocated my right knee when I was about 11 years. Since then I always had knee problems which now turned to Osteoarthritis. I am now 62 years. Restricted movement up and down stairs. Over the years I had to deal with bone spurs which I managed. I am avoiding replacement. Recently I have developed a bone spur on the left side of my right knee which is painful when I sit and get up. Any suggestions.

[@claudinwhittle]

Dr. Berg, I find your videos most interesting and helpful, I have tons of things wrong with me for a very simple reason: I never have been good to my body. I am 61 years old, a heavy smoker for most of my life and my diet and eating habits have been just terrible. My main problem now is my knees. First of all I am over weight, 180 lbs to my 153 cm height. I started having pain and swelling on my right knee years ago, then my left started doing the same. A couple of years ago my right knee was the size of a large grapefruit. I have managed to take the swelling down but my knees crack something awful when ever I move. Is there anything I can do about it? Or am I beyond repair? I really hope I have explained myself clearly, as English is not my first language and I can´t stand the use of translators. Keep up the good work and thank you for your videos. Greetings from Mexico

[@MovewithJenna]

Amazing set of exercises Dr Berg! Another thing I’ll absolutely add to this is Side lying leg raise / clam shell ( you can find many videos if you search on KZbin). It saved me from 2-3 years of on going knee pain. We have got to strengthen gluteus medius. It’s usually #1 reason why your knees start to wobble at first place.

[@sidneezingara1976]

Agreed! Side planks with leg lifts add some challenge to the core!

After a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and then a torn meniscus I was in constant pain with my knees. I did keto for 2 years and lost 100lbs and I am now starting a body strengthening exercise regime to get rid of the last remnants of pain and get better mobility. Before keto my mindset abd headrace was just constant anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts so I would not have found the idea of exercise even remotely plausible but now I am looking forward to toning up and looking better not just feeling better. :)
