🦵 Why does your knee hurt?
The knee is designed to primarily bend and extend.
But pain often comes from something else: **poor control and unwanted rotation.**
When your **glutes are weak**, they fail to stabilize your pelvis during single-leg activities like walking or running. This allows the knee to collapse inward (valgus), increasing stress on the joint.
When your **hip mobility is limited**, the hip can’t rotate efficiently—so the knee compensates. Over time, this creates excessive strain on ligaments, cartilage, and surrounding tissues.
✔️ Fix the root cause:
Strengthen your glutes + restore hip mobility.
Try this daily:
**Frog Bridge**
– Soles together, knees open
– Slight posterior pelvic tilt
– Core engaged
– Lift and lower with control
👉 10 reps × 5 sets
Build better movement patterns, reduce unnecessary knee stress, and move pain-free.
Remember, motion is lotion.
