The following 3 exercises will help you to relax tense muscles and fascia and thus relieve knee pain. To do this, you should try to achieve the highest possible intensity in each exercise. Breathe calmly during the exercises. Stretch only as much as possible to avoid subconscious tension.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Back of the leg stretch for knee pain<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  1. To perform this exercise, sit on the floor.<\/li>
  2. First, stretch your right leg straight out and lift your left leg up.<\/li>
  3. Now pull your right toes back, with your heel on the floor. Keep your leg in this position throughout the exercise.<\/li>
  4. Grab your left knee with both hands and pull yourself forward. Make sure your back remains as straight as possible.<\/li><\/ol>

    As you perform this exercise, you will feel a stretch in the back of your extended right leg, namely in the thigh muscles, as well as in the back of the knee and calf.<\/em><\/p>

    • Hold this pose for about 30 seconds.<\/li>
    • Now press your right leg and heel to the floor, as if you want to bend your right knee.<\/li>
    • After this conscious tension, you can try to pull your upper body even further forward and thus achieve a more noticeable stretch.<\/li>
    • Repeat the last two steps twice and hold the stretch for a moment at the end.<\/li>
    • After about 2 minutes, the exercise is complete.<\/li>
    • Then repeat the exercise again with the left leg.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Hip stretch for knee pain<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
      1. Sit on the floor and place the loop over your right leg.<\/li>
      2. Now lie on your left side and place the knee pad next to your hips.<\/li>
      3. Grab the end of the loop with your right hand and slowly turn over onto your stomach. In this position, your right thigh should rest on the popliteal support.<\/li>
      4. Pull the loop with your right hand to pull your right leg as close to your buttocks as possible and achieve a stretch.<\/li><\/ol>

        With the aids, you can provide a significant \u201cpre-stretch\u201d already at the beginning of the exercise. This means that an important part of the thigh muscles is already well stretched and you can optimally adjust the intensity.<\/em><\/p>

        • Hold the initial stretch for about 30 seconds.<\/li>
        • Then press your right leg into the loop for a few seconds, but hold it firmly with your hand so that the leg does not move.<\/li>
        • After this, you can try to pull your foot further towards your buttocks and increase the stretch of your hip.<\/li>
        • Repeat the last two steps several times.<\/li>
        • After about 2 minutes, the exercise is complete.<\/li>
        • Repeat the exercise with your left leg to eliminate knee pain on both sides.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Calf stretch for knee pain<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
          \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
          1. Place the knee pad at some distance from the wall.<\/li>
          2. Stand with your right foot on the wedge. The integrated loop ensures that you will stand steadily, even if you have set the knee pad to a significant angle.<\/li><\/ol>

            By placing your leg at an angle, you can use the knee pad to achieve a significant pre-stretch at the beginning of the exercise. This way, you will be able to achieve a greater stretch, more easily regulate the intensity and increase it optimally due to safe tension.<\/em><\/p>

            • Keep your right leg, which is on the knee, straight and lean both hands on the wall. The left leg remains on the ground and provides greater stability.<\/li>
            • Slowly lean forward to stretch your right calf.<\/li>
            • Hold this stretch for about 30 seconds.<\/li>
            • Then press down on the knee pad with your front right leg.<\/li>
            • Relax again and try to increase the stretch by leaning even more towards the wall with your leg straight.<\/li>
            • Repeat the last 2 steps several times.<\/li>
            • After about 2 minutes, the exercise is finished.<\/li>
            • Then repeat the entire exercise with your left leg.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
