Quadricep Stretch: This stretch focuses on the muscles above the knee, when they are tight they may not function properly and affect the stability of the knee.
Calf Stretch: Tension in the calf muscles can affect knee alignment, so stretching them is crucial for knee pain relief.
Hamstring Stretch: These muscles are behind the knee and help support the back of the knee, stretching them will help to avoid the knee having to overcompensate.
