Knee pain can be downright miserable. In my experience as a physical therapist, the majority of knee pain that I encounter is “atraumatic” - meaning there was no accident or injury that occurred that would cause the pain in the knee… it just sort of got worse over time.

In these instances, one of the most-common causes of atraumatic knee pain is weakness in the hip muscles; especially the abductors, rotators, and extensors.

HIP STRENGTH FOR KNEE PAIN
Why does hip strength matter? Well - as far as joints go, your knee is actually pretty simple. It bends and it straightens and that’s about it.

However WHERE that knee bends and straightens is controlled by the muscles in your hips and ankles. If these areas are not adequately strong and can’t support your knee through normal motion, knee discomfort, pain, and inflammation can ensue.

HIP EXERCISES FOR KNEE PAIN
