Knee Replacement Rehab, Knee & Leg Strengthening Exercises for Seniors
──
If you've had knee joint replacement surgery, have arthritis in your knee, or have suffered a knee injury, leg exercises for seniors with bad knees may be just what you need. Often, exercising the muscles above and below the knee can be just as important as exercises that strengthen your knee specifically. Our bodies work in systems, and the more complete and healthy the system is, the better we function overall.
With pain and/or stiffness in your knees, the benefits of exercising specifically for your injured joint(s) are priceless. Some of the exercises I use to reduce knee pain include:
In addition to these exercises, I make sure that there is an element of fun in all of the physical training programs I use. If your knees are strong enough to dance, let's dance! Whatever your physical abilities, I promise to bring energy and enthusiasm that will make the process of healing something to look forward to. (For pricing information, see my FAQ page.)
With pain and/or stiffness in your knees, the benefits of exercising specifically for your injured joint(s) are priceless. Some of the exercises I use to reduce knee pain include:
- Increasing flexibility and range of motion with stretching and warm-up exercises. Working out without warming up increases your chances of injury, so this step is vital.
- Building supportive muscle mass with basic strength training exercises. This involves not just the muscles in and around the knee, but in your entire leg.
- Balance exercises to reduce chance of injury. (See my Balance Page for more details.)
- Gentle manual therapy where I can help you exercise safely and assess your current knee strength to make better physical therapy programs that meet your personal needs.
