The Best Exercises for Knee Pain (From La Cañada Chiropractors)
The best (and safest) exercises for knee pain, from doctors who treat it every day at Flintridge Family Chiropractic in La Cañada Flintridge.
If you've Googled "best exercises for knee pain," you've probably seen a dozen conflicting lists. Here's what our doctors actually give patients — and, just as importantly, what we tell them to stop doing.
Most knee pain in adults isn't a knee problem — it's a hip and ankle problem showing up at the knee. Fixing the joints above and below is often the missing piece.
Rule #1: Move the Stiff Joints, Stabilize the Loose Ones
Most people with knee pain intuitively stretch the area that hurts. The problem is that the painful area is often the unstable segment — it's already moving too much. Stretching it more can make things worse. The area you actually need to work on is usually the joint above or below.
