How To Do Lunges Without Knee Pain

Показать описание
Knee pain often gets worse after doing lunges...but there’s a way to make lunges pain-free AND help your knee problem heal.

In this video you’ll learn about what muscles to use during a lunge. This makes your body lunge the way it is designed to lunge.

People with knee problems like meniscus tears, damaged cartilage, knee tendonitis, knee arthritis, and patellofemoral pain syndrome can benefit from lunges if they’re done this way.

The biggest problem is that the “normal” way people do lunges makes the quadricep muscles do most of the work. This leads to really high forces that over-compress the knee joint.

It gives a false sense of success to people that do lunges, because they’ll usually feel the muscles in their quads work and think that they did it right...but slowly, they’re damaging their knees by adding more bad pressures to the joint.

Instead, force the glutes to work during lunge motions! This reduces the use of the quads and as a result reduces forces through the knee joint.

And over the long-term...if lunge/glute exercises are kept up...stronger glutes tend to fix most knee problems and set people up to avoid making knee problems worse.

Disclaimer! If your knees are swollen, locking, and painful when you move them, lunges are probably not for you right now. You likely have lots of inflammation and need to start with an easier exercise to get the swelling and inflammation down. It may even be necessary to visit a healthcare professional to get personalized guidance with your meniscus, knee arthritis, knee tendonitis, or patellofemoral pain syndrome.

NanSea says: Thank you! This is exactly me. I have avoided the lunges in the 28 day videos because it hurts my knees. But, will try them this way.

Dr. Thanks this information is great. Just started doing some of the exercises for knee pain and walking using my glutes. Can feel the difference, especially going up and down steps. Haven’t done lunges in a while and just tried them. Feels pretty good. I will keep watching. Thanks again

Excellent! It amazes me how many docs and PTs I have seen, and NONE of them told me to point foot and knee outward slightly to get glutes to fire. Thank you so much! I am in Honolulu, so I can't see you, but you have my deepest gratitude. If you can recommend a good PT here, I am listening. I am going it alone to recover from muscle atrophy from nerve damage because of typhoid fever while in Thailand. I need to find a good PT, but my money and patience are strained now, and I can't keep trying new PTs to be disappointed.

Moving the foot & bad knee to the side seems to help my lunges. Thanks.

Started having pain on the inside side of my knees. Figured I needed to just strengthen my legs. Did lunges for a week. Both my knees swelled above and below my kneecaps. Three weeks of physio…still swollen 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been doing Bulgarian split squats and progressing in the dumbbell weight and I liked the quad muscle gains I was getting but I’ve been also feeling knee pain as the weights been going up. I’m not sure what to do when I went to see a PT I was only told that lunges and squats aren’t good for me to do. Can I still do quad exercises ? I’d be sad if I couldn’t as I love to body build/powerlift.

Can we do lunges even if you have arthritis of the knees?

But aren't we supposed to keep our knee over our ankle when we lunge? Thank you.
