4 Exercises to Improve Knee Mobility

Today’s video covers the four movements that are possible at the knee joint and exercises that can be used to improve mobility if you notice a limitation in range of motion.

Knee mobility restrictions can occur following surgery, injury or immobilization. Extension (knee straightening) limitations are typically more common than flexion mobility issues when discussing the knee. In this video, I have shown techniques for knee flexion/extension and internal/external rotation deficits that can be implemented if you are dealing with such a problem.

Hoping these can finally help. Have had knee issues since I was 13, am 24 now, and it's impacted everything athletically I wanna do. Lift weights? Knee weakness causes imbalances. Cycling? Improper mechanics. Running? (which is the worst one) Knee weakness that has a knock on effect and causes shin splints

I’ve done this for 2 days and I’m already back dunking after not being able to bend my knees without them hurting! Thank you!

Broken Tibia Fibia and Tore My knee. I'm about 2 months past my accident. I'm realizing I've lost allot of movement and slowly getting it back. This is the best video I've seen so far. The more help I can get the better. I never thought I'd be in this situation.

I'm going to have to try all your exercises. My nephew and I had a competition of "who can kick the ball highest in the air", and after kicking the ball my leg has never felt the same. Whenever I squat there's a popping, and when walking there's a slight kink in my leg. These exercises made me closer to understanding what quite could be wrong. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the informative videos. It seams that your knee is popping at 1:43 . My knee does the same when I bend in the same position. It began to pop since last year without a trauma. I’ve no pain even if I cycle or hike for hours. Mobilization can help? Have I to be worried?

Amazing video!!! Just recently had an injury and this has helped me sooo much. Thank you!!!

I do have a question: my outside knee sac, bursa, has liquid in it. I noticed that I moved my leg internally possibly too quickly and that's when I had stiffness. Now, would that be my knee joints or was it my tband being too tight??

Thank you for such an in-depth informative video -- I was in a car accident almost 15 years ago - I lost the bottom 1/4 of my right kneecap and was told I'd never have full range of motion ... I worked hard to get it all back - and I did ... I was also told I'd never run again ... well, NEVER say Never, right? I have since run 9 marathons, 24 halfs and countless other races - and am now training for the full ironman (again, dnf'd in 22) ... ANYWAY ... my knee has been feeling super stiff lately and clicking when I go down stairs ... it also has a lot of 'crunching sounds' when I bend it ... which I'm attributing to scar tissue build up - which is probably causing the stiffness ... anyway - long story, short ... I'm definitely going to start doing these exercises - I believe it will really help me. THANK YOU!!!✌

Thank you for the tips!! I had knee surgery because of a right knee cap fracture back in February. I've been in PT for a while now and my range of motion for bending my knee still needs work! My incision has completely healed! Any suggestions for getting better range of motion in my knee when sitting and standing??

[LucidMadeIt]

Thank you so much for this great video!! Question please, about how long should one wait after an injury to begin these? Thank you!!

I have pain in the back of my left knee. This pain comes and goes due to sitting for long periods of time when sewing. Are these exercises good for back of knee pain or do you have another video you recommend. I also stand for long periods of time with my job.
