YOUR VIDEO PASSWORD IS: knees
Now that you've had a chance to watch the video, let's get started with our first strengthening exercise.
We are going to begin with strengthening the BACK LINE of the body.
The BACK LINE runs up the back of the leg from the bottom of the foot to the base of the spine. Strengthening these muscles helps to support you by balancing the dominance we typically find in the front of the thigh.
Let's get started with our first exercise!
Now it's time to move onto the OUTER LINE of the body, strengthening our hip rotators.
Your hip rotators are largely responsible for maintaining the proper alignment of the knee in conjunction with your feet.
Having strong and supple hip rotators contribute to a feeling of more stability, more balance and more ease.
Today we move on to the INSIDE LINE of the body, strengthening our inner thigh muscles (adductors) with one simple exercise.
Your adductors help to balance the strength around the knee, especially if you have sustained an injury to your MCL ligament or meniscus.
Combined with the strength of your OUTSIDE & BACK lines, the knee can gain the stability it needs to Bend and Flex with Ease!
We're going to wrap up the foundation of your strength with your feet and ankles.
No matter how strong the other parts of your body are, if you stand on a collapsed and unstable foundation, the rest of your strength and alignment suffers.
Having strength in your feet and alignment in your ankles ensures that your knee will rest on a stable platform, therefore allowing it to move appropriately without any harmful forces travelling through.
