# Knee Exercises for Chiropractic Patients in Juneau

These knee exercises are recommended by our team at Happy Family Chiropractic to help you maintain strength and stability between appointments. Strong muscles around the knee reduce joint stress and support long-term recovery. Always check with your provider before starting these exercises if you have an acute injury.

## 1\. Glute Med Exercises

**How to do it:** These exercises target the gluteus medius, the hip stabilizer that controls how the knee tracks during walking, running, and squatting. Lie on your side with your legs stacked and knees slightly bent. Keeping your feet together, open the top knee toward the ceiling like a clamshell while keeping your pelvis still. Lower with control and repeat 12 to 15 times per side. Progress by adding a resistance band above the knees, then to standing variations such as banded side steps.

**Why it helps:** A strong glute medius takes load off the knee joint, reduces inward knee collapse, and is one of the most important muscles to train for knee injuries and pain.
