Knee pain is a common issue for many individuals, often exacerbated by everyday activities. In this informative session with Kayla from fitnessblender.com, a doctor of physical therapy, she reveals effective strategies to tackle knee discomfort through improved stability and control.

Many people do not realize one of the biggest contributors to knee pain is a lack of stability. Common movements like lunges or walking down steps can aggravate pain if stability is not maintained.

• Start by placing your hands on your hips, ensuring that your pelvis is level.
• Flex your foot and place your heel on the ground in front of you.
• Slowly slide your heel away from your body while maintaining a level pelvis.
• Keep your knee bent, ensuring it stays in position over your big toe.
• Return to the starting point by engaging your supporting leg powerfully.

Practicing on both sides is crucial to ensure balanced stability. Repeating this exercise can significantly help manage and prevent knee pain due to enhanced control and posture.
