Knee pain is usually caused by weak glutes. Knee problems like knee arthritis, knee cartilage problems, meniscus injuries, ligament tears, and many other conditions share a common root condition where the glute muscles are relatively weak and cannot properly control the knee joint.

Getting stronger glutes should directly allow the knee to feel better because it will balance out the strength between the glutes and the quad muscles. Balancing out these 2 muscle groups is important because if the quads are too dominant between the 2, then there will be too much pressure on the knee joint. When the quadricep muscles are too strong, then it’s just a matter of time before something hurts in the knee joint area.

Dr. David takes you through exercising your glutes without equipment and all in standing in case you have trouble getting onto your knees.
