If the front of your knee feels irritated during lunges or split squats, especially around the patellar tendon, here are 3 strategies you can try:
1️⃣ Terminal Knee Extensions
A simple way to practice controlled knee extension and build confidence around the movement.
2️⃣ Spanish Squats
A supported squat variation that lets you load the legs while changing the demands of the movement.
3️⃣ Step-Ups + Foot Tripod
Use a step and focus on creating your foot tripod. Think - big toe, pinky toe, and heel maintaining contact with the ground.
The goal isn’t to simply avoid movements that bother you.
It’s to modify, build capacity, and gradually work toward the movements you want to do.
And remember: pain can have many causes. If your symptoms persist or worsen, get assessed by a qualified healthcare professional.
Meet yourself where you are. Build from there.
Ignite your transformation. 🚀
