One simple trick to reduce inside knee pain when squatting

Reduce pressure on the inside of the knee 🦵🏽

A common reason people experience pain on the inside or medial part of the knee is due to certain compensations their body is making ☝🏽

When standing up or sitting down without the appropriate strength, people tend to bring their knees inwards which puts increased pressure on the inside of the knee. Continuing to repeat this over time can lead to more pain 🫠

One simple way to help retrain your body is using this banded squat. You can use a cotton band too if you find the plastic or latex ones typically roll up for you.

This helps to build up muscles in the hips while helping to improve how your body moves to evenly distribute the pressure and thus reducing pain 🙌🏼

Start with a chair you can comfortably stand up from and make it more difficult as you gain confidence ✅

Feel free to use your arms to push up as needed ⚠️

5-10 repetitions for 2-3 sets may be a good place to start for most.
