If you struggle with knee pain, arthritis, bone on bone, pain with stairs, or just inflammation and stiffness in the knee, try this exercise!

Mckenzie (MDT) Knee extensions aims to:

• Reduce knee pain (especially anterior/front knee pain)

• Improve overall mobility and function

• Empower patients to manage symptoms independently

2. Place your hands directly above the kneecap. 

3. Using your hands to guide, slowly straighten one knee until fully extended.
