Knee Arthritis Exercises To AVOID



Leg extensions, wall sits, quad sets, & pistol squats all are TERRIBLE exercises for knee osteoarthritis!!! Focus on doing glute dominant exercises instead.

  1. Re; knee OA.What about the exs for plantar fascitis? Was told to extend leg, PT pushed hard again my
    foot, got the stretch, but my knee hurt, it felt like knee joint/bone. Also push extended leg ,, bent ankle against wall. moves. (&have meniscal tears, & ACL tears. Is that ok? Thanks

  2. At least address the fact that timing and load management is the most important factor. When progressed appropriately, I’d argue the first two exercises are BENEFICIAL for knee arthritis. It is extremely individual. shame on you for making dogmatic statements that confuse an already confused population of people in pain who are receiving conflicting advice. At the very least cite some sources that back your statement.

  3. Obviously most people with healthy knees aren’t doing pistol squats..the others are good exercises for knee pain just don’t go ham right off the rip with the weight..he didn’t even
    Mention the hips where a lot of knee pain originates as well..this video not great information..
