The following is a great chart that you can find in most doctor’s, physical therapist’s, or massage therapist’s offices.
It is a great example of how to understand what needs to be strengthened in and around your knees in order for your knee to be properly supported to overcome an existing knee injury and prevent future knee injuries…
Everything in red is muscle and everything in white is either bone, tendon, ligament or connective tissue…
As you can see in the front of the knee there is no “red” so in actuality when it is indicated that you need to “strenthen the muscles in the knee” they are really not telling you the truth. It is the strenghtening of the tendons, ligaments and connective tissue that is the “difference that makes the difference.”
I go into how to strenghtend the tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue in my book, “Stop Your Knee Pain Now!”
