Top 3 Home Exercises for Knee Pain Relief

Managing Knee Pain at Home

Knee pain can severely limit your mobility. Strengthening the muscles around your knee provides better support for the joint.

1. Straight Leg Raises

Lie on your back with one leg bent and the other straight. Slowly lift the straight leg about a foot off the floor, hold for 3 seconds, and lower it. Repeat 10 times.

2. Wall Squats

Stand with your back against a wall. Slowly slide down until your knees are bent at a 45-degree angle. Hold for 5 seconds and slide back up.

3. Calf Stretches

Stand facing a wall. Place one foot in front of the other. Lean forward, keeping your back leg straight and your heel on the floor. Hold for 30 seconds.

Note: Always consult with a physiotherapist if the pain persists or worsens during these exercises.
