If you have had an injury to your leg or if you otherwise suffer from bad knees, then you’re probably being told to look into knee therapy exercises. These are exercises designed to get your knees into shape while building their strength.

Step-ups are a great knee therapy exercise. In order to do step-ups properly, you need a small footstool. For this exercise, you stand in front of the footstool, flat on the floor. You lift one foot onto of the footstool. Using your leg muscles, you pull the other foot onto the stool. Step off the foot stool and do the exercise again with the other foot.

Among the great knee therapy exercises is side lying leg lifts. This exercise is extremely simple, but also good at building muscle and knee strength. This exercise is done by laying on your side. Lift one leg up while keeping it stretched out. This is an exercise that should be done 5 to 10 times and then you should turn over on your other side and do the exercise with your other leg.

Quadriceps stretch is an advanced knee therapy exercise. This is a rather simple exercise to do. You first need to stand parallel to the wall. Put one hand on the wall for balance. Lift the leg farthest from the wall and hold it into place with your other hand. Hold the stretch for several seconds and then put your foot back down on the floor.

These three knee therapy exercises will get your knee feeling good and get you well on your way to a better knee.
