1️⃣ Do Your Knees Hurt Every Time You Squat ?
Do your knees ache every time you squat — even after taking rest, stretching, or icing?
You’re not alone. Many Delhi, Gurgaon, and Panipat professionals who sit long hours or train hard experience the same thing.
Most people think knee pain means arthritis or an injury.
But in reality, it’s often caused by weak or unbalanced muscles around your hips and knees that change how your joints move.
When pain starts, most people stop squatting completely.
That only makes the joint weaker and tighter, creating more pain later.
The real solution is to rebuild movement and strength safely, not to avoid the exercise.
In most cases, pain happens because of:
Weak glutes and hips that fail to stabilize the knees
Tight quads or IT band pulling the kneecap out of alignment
Limited ankle mobility causing poor movement mechanics
These imbalances put extra pressure on the knee joint, especially during squats, stairs, or lunges.
1. Glute Bridge – 3 sets × 15 reps
Activates your hips so they share the load with your knees.
✅ 2. Wall Sit – Hold 30–60 seconds
Builds quadriceps endurance safely without compressing the knee.
3. Ankle Mobility Drill – 10 slow reps
Gently rock forward and back to loosen your ankles and reduce knee strain.
➡️ Do these 3 drills 3–4 times a week. Within 2 weeks, most clients notice less pain and smoother movement.
🚫 Wearing thick running shoes (reduces stability)
🚫 Squatting too deep too soon
🚫 Skipping warm-up mobility
🚫 Training through pain
Remember: strength means control — not just load.
“Most people try to fix knee pain with knee exercises — but the solution starts from your hips and ankles.
Train the movement, not the muscle.”
