Will Squats Help Or Hurt My Knee Arthritis?

Описание: "I have osteoarthritis. I really want to do squat challenge for thirty days. Would l be aggravating my pains? ... Even doing walking exercises; l have pains. Really [need] your advice.”
Clara M.

Squat exercises are one of the most common exercises blamed for making knee arthritis worse. But when done correctly, they can help make knee arthritis better!

There are 2 factors to consider when deciding on whether or not to do squats.
Knee irritability and squat technique.

How irritable are your knees right now and over the past few weeks?
If you've been healthy in your knees for about 1 month, then you are likely okay to begin doing squats to strengthen.

Do you have the right technique?
If your technique causes you to use your quads more than your glutes, then your technique is off and you will hurt your knee arthritis more.
But if your squat technique is causing you to use your glutes more, then you have the right technique and as long as you are not irritable right now, you will help your knee arthritis.
