Sore knees can be a significant hindrance to daily activities, whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or simply going about your regular routine.
The quadriceps, located at the front of your thigh, play a crucial role in knee stability and function.
To perform this stretch, stand upright and grab one ankle behind you with the corresponding hand.
Gently pull your heel towards your glutes until you feel a stretch in the front of your thigh. Hold for 15-30 seconds and repeat on the other side.
This stretch helps relieve tension in the quadriceps and reduces strain on the knee joint.
Tight hamstrings can contribute to knee pain by pulling the pelvis downward, altering the alignment of the knee joint.
To stretch your hamstrings, sit on the floor with one leg extended and the other bent, foot placed against the inner thigh of the extended leg.
