Patella Exercise to Avoid Locked Knees and Reduce Knee Pain

by | Jan 28, 2010 | Exercise and Fitness, Pilates Exercises, Techniques & Teaching Tips, Videos | 6 comments

If you’re one of those folks who has a tendency to lock your knees, and may occasionally be bothered with knee pain…  Here’s a video with a quick and easy exercise you can practice just about anywhere to help strengthen the muscles around the knee joint, become more aware of the difference between a locked and unlocked knee, and learn how to stabilize a straight knee without locking the joint.

The benefits of this simple kneecap dance exercise include: Less time standing with your knees locked, stronger quadriceps, freer movement of the leg, and better tracking of the patella (knee cap), which all help to reduce knee pain.

Have fun playing with your dancing kneecaps!

    Thanks again for your advice. A year ago I learned from you how to fix problems with my feet, and today I learned how to fix a little knee cap problem I got just last week. Both the knowledge you have and the easy-to-understand way you explain things is to me the best I’ve ever found on the internet. Kresten from Denmark
