Health & Fitness Expert, Aliesa George www.centerworks.com This video shows you a quick and easy exercise you can practice almost anywhere to help strengthen the muscles around the knee cap and learn how to stabilize the knee joint to avoid locking the knee. http I like to call this the Kneecap Dance, but in technical terms the Knee cap is called the Patella, so this is actually a Patella tracking exercise that has the added benefit of helping to strengthen the quadriceps and stabilize the knee. Executed correctly, you'll be improving the muscle control and support for your knee joint and learning how not to jam the kneecap back and cause pain or locked knees. Ok, are you ready? Id encourage you to either wear shorts to get started, or roll your pant legs up so that you can see your knees. Sit down on the floor, or a mat, and since our focus isn't on posture today...if you want to sit with your back against a wall so you only have to pay attention to your knees and not worry about your core and back muscles working to help you sit tall... I'm fine with that. Extend both legs straight out in front of you. If you're feeling a hamstring stretch there's another muscle that needs some attention to help your knees feel better! If you want to take a bit of the stretch off, sit up on a phone book, or maybe on a footstool or in a chair. Its important that you have straight, but unlocked knees to practice this knee exercise. Alright, to start I like to put my fingers on my kneecap <b>...</b> |

Video with permission of: eccentric-exercises.blogspot.com 1 set of 15 repetitions of eccentric squats (with weights in a backpack) used to treat chronic patellar tendinitis. Standing on the leg with the bad knee, exercises are done in 3 sets, once at night, after the inflammation period of tendinitis has gone away, but when pain remains. Weights are added very gradually over months. The eccentric part of the exercise occurs in the downward phase of the motion, and should ideally take 2-3 seconds; the upward motion should be relatively faster. Before doing these exercises, consult with appropriate medical professionals. |
