So to recap why you get knee pain:

1. Weak hip stabilizer – gluteus medius
2. Tight Hip Flexors – ilioposoas, adductors, quads, itb

Aim to remedy these 2 areas and you are on the right path to beating your knee pain.

Want to find out if you have weak hip stabilizer strength?

Do this on both sides to compare.

The side on which it is the hardest to hold is probably the side to focus on.

Single leg balance, try and hold for 10-20 seconds.

You can do this position as an exercise once you have determined the weaker side and progress to maybe balancing on a towel or object under your foot to make it harder and more challenging.

Have fun with it and keep safety in mind

before you attempt any low back pain exercise program please, please take note of the following.

Always:

1. Be specific on your choice of exercise, what are you aiming to do, generic exercises can cause more bad patterns to occur and harm you.

2. Joint balance is paramount, we have some great joint balance routines we share in our back pain secrets program, but a simple seated ball squeeze would do (there is more though).

If you do not align your joints prior to strength exercises you will cause more harm.

Thanks and leave any comments, will be happy to help in any way I can.

If there was one of the missing elements self-proclaimed experts share about how to end plantar fasciitis it would be what we cover in this video:

Hip Stability.

Poor core and hip stability affect your joints and cause abnormal compensation including ITB, Plantar Fasciitis, Runners knee and achilles tendonitis.

Hope you benefit from this video, cheers.

The static back was brought to me by the Egoscue method. It has worked for me and countless other chronic back pain sufferers.

This exercise though is the first step which is to release very tight hip flexors.

Lumbar and hip stabilization is the second ingredient to beating chronic low back pain.

You can also learn more about this from our Chronic Low Back Pain home relief program.

Thanks and as always comment if you have questions, thanks

Use this to determine:

1. Possible loss of range of motion internally

2. Muscle imbalance

Normal range is the ability to reach behind your back and get as close as possible to your shoulder blade inferior(bottom) tip.

Please consult with your doctor first before attempting since is quite an intense stretch.

Instructions for performing test:

1. Stand against wall with feet hip width 1-2 inches away from wall.

2. Stand in your best posture.

3. Have partner take picture from your side.

4. Review picture.

Findings:

1. Is your head touching the wall?
2. Is your ear over your shoulder in straight line?
3. Does your shoulder, hip and knee connect in straight line?

If any of these findings per instruction in the video is off, you have some
muscle imbalance that needs to be addressed.
