Knee pain is one of the most common complaints we see—whether it’s from an old sports injury, post-surgical discomfort, or just the wear and tear of everyday life. And while the root causes may vary, there’s one consistent theme behind most knee issues: weakness in the muscles that support the joint.

Structural damage to ligaments like the ACL or meniscus might be part of your story, but when the muscles surrounding the knee are strong, they provide much-needed support and stability where ligaments fall short. That’s why strengthening those muscles is one of the most effective paths toward pain relief and prevention.

In this quick video, we’re highlighting two highly scalable movements that can be done right at home, without fancy equipment. These exercises target compensation patterns, boost joint support, and help "bulletproof" your knees—safely and progressively.
