  • Calf muscles, along with the hip and thigh muscles, provide stability and control of your knee joint.
    Learn the best 5 exercises to start getting stronger in your calf muscles to better support your knee health.

    Without strength from the calf muscles, the knee joint gets its strength and stability from other muscles and creates compensations.
    Weakness in the calf muscles can lead to ankle and foot pain as well. Some people get plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendon problems in addition to their knee pain.

    Thank you again for your great explanations David, it makes a big difference to doing exercises when one understand what the point of it is. I have a query though: I remember watching another video of yours when you were saying that our knee problems come from our muscles being too strong and therefore putting too much pressure on our knee joints. Was that only the case for the thigh muscles?

My walking speed has slowed as I unable to use my kneed properly, which puts a strain on the foot and ankle.
    A physio advised me to do calf strengthening exercises, and I'm going to try the methods in this video, too.

    I’ve got knee pain…the crunchy kind, but trying to preserve my knees until something better than knee replacement comes along. Figured out my feet are messed up because I’ve got a sore big toe joint. Bunion maybe it’s called? Painful going down stairs or overuse. Found you and I’ve been stretching everything, holding, and the exercises and it’s making a difference! Thank you!
