After a knee injury or knee surgery, or the acute phase, there is often knee pain with movement. These beginner knee pain relief exercises should help get your muscles moving and activating without too much pain.

The first knee pain exercises are isometric exercises. These will help all the muscles around the knee. Quad sets help activate the quadriceps muscles, hamstring sets help activate your hamstring muscles, hip abduction isometrics in hooklying help activate your hip abductors (like your IT band and gluteus medius), and hip adduction isometrics in hooklying help activate your hip adductors (like your groin and adductor muscles).

Seated exercises can also be helpful with knee pain without being painful. Seated heel/toe raises, seated hip flexion, and seated long arc quads (LAQ) or knee extensions should help relieve knee pain.

Recently, I worked out running, kneeling, squatting, and lunging too much at the beach, in the gym on a hard floor, and on cement sidewalks over 6 miles a day. It was too much for a girl in her 50's. Therefore, I hurt my left knee. I am strengthening both my knees now doing exercises like Joe's. Love her pup and video. What saved my knees is Taurine, Glucosamine, Turmeric, and Magnesium which ALL get rid of Inflammation. I COATED my knees and Massaged them Daily with FRESH ALOE in MY GARDEN. The Aloe Soothed and Strengthened my entire body. Try these tricks too for immediate relief. I had to SHARE because it WORKS! Luv Ya knee pain sufferers. You WILL get better but DON'T leave out the Supplements and Rest after Rehab. Don't do what the SPAGIRL did and OVERDO the Exercise.
