Healthy knees aren’t just key for helping you hit a new squat or deadlift PB, but running, hiking – basically, pain-free every day movement. If you suffer from aches and pains in these joints, or are just looking to bulletproof them, then these three longevity exercises from Personal Training duo, Milad and Ryan, founders of Tailored Fit PT, can help.
You may be wondering whether you should avoid any exercises that move this joint if you’re suffering from pain there. The Cleveland Clinic says: “Increasing your strength and flexibility will reduce pressure on your joint and can reduce pain.” They also add that exercise will help strengthen the muscles that surround the knee to support it better. However, like the NHS advises, it’s always important to listen to the severity of your pain. New exercises can heighten symptoms slightly as the body gets used to new movement, but this should subside over time.
