One of the most important knee exercises that you need to start doing today – Part 3

Shin Rotations are an integral part of knee health as your knee not only bends and straightens, but also has a rotational component.

It’s important to improve the rotational mobility, strengthen at the end-ranges, as well as strengthen throughout the available range of motion. Strengthening with this weeping movement is important for knee health and stability.

2 sets of 5-10 reps at a slow and controlled pace is a good place to start.

One of the most important knee exercises that you need to start doing today – Part 2

Shin Rotations are an integral part of knee health as your knee not only bends and straightens, but also has a rotational component.

It’s important to work the rotation but also strengthen at those end-ranges of motion. Injuries happen when your joint gets taken past its mobility and capacity to move so strengthening at end-ranges allows improved resiliency and can give you that bit of extra time to tap and save your knee.

Work on isometric resistance at end-ranges. Begin with shorter hold times and gradually increase hold times and the applied resistance. This must be done gradually and without pain.

2 sets of 5-10 second holds is a good place to start.

One of the most important knee exercises that you need to start doing today!

Shin Rotations are an integral part of knee health as your knee not only bends and straightens, but also has a rotational component.

If you think about it, many of the knee injuries we see in grappling are meniscus injuries which can occur through a rotational force on the foot or ankle which will cause a rotation on the knee.

Start with these shin rotations as a warm up or mobility training exercises.

2 sets of 5-10 second holds is a good place to start.
