Do squats and lunges cause knee pain or feel impossible because of arthritis, weakness, or stiffness? You do not necessarily need to stop doing these important movements. You may simply need a version that better matches what your knees can handle right now.
In this episode, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist Dr. Alyssa Kuhn shares four knee-friendly squat and lunge modifications. You’ll learn how raising the height of a chair, using your arms for support, practicing a step-back march, and elevating your front foot can make these exercises feel more manageable.
Squats and lunges help build the strength and control needed to stand from a chair, get off the toilet, rise from the floor, step over obstacles, and stay confident on your feet. Learn how to work on these movements without forcing painful traditional versions.
