Does the type of exercise for the knee matter?

According to the study below…no.

“There was no difference between the addition of anteromedial or posterolateral hip musculature strengthening to knee strengthening in improving pain and function in women with PFP.”

Sometimes strengthening creates such profound global and systemic changes that the local biomechanical effect doesn't matter.

If the social media world overwhelms you about what to do for knee pain, maybe just start with some pain freeish strengthening.

If it still doesn't improve, then give us a call.
