Simple Exercises to Strengthen Your Knees

Pilates can be an effective exercise regimen for alleviating knee pain, which affects about 25% of adults. Common causes of knee pain include osteoarthritis, injuries, and muscle imbalances. Pilates helps by strengthening the muscles supporting the knee, improving alignment, and enhancing flexibility. While not a cure-all, incorporating specific Pilates exercises can reduce knee pain by 20% to 30%. Experts recommend complementing these exercises with proper footwear, adequate protein intake, and maintaining an active lifestyle.
