Strengthening exercise for the knee

Practitioner-led

Muscle-strengthening exercise, particularly for the quadriceps, plus aerobic work improve knee pain and function as well as anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen at three to six months, but without the stomach or heart risks, and should be tried first before any medication.

What it involves

Do muscle-strengthening exercise, particularly for the quadriceps, combined with aerobic work (such as brisk walking or cycling) as prescribed by your GP or physiotherapist.

Educational information, not a prescription. Any amount named in a study or on a pack is for a pharmacist, GP or qualified practitioner to confirm for you.

An advisory note

Remedae is a library, not a clinic. Speak with a credentialed practitioner.

If something hurts, lingers, or changes, please reach a trained practitioner in the tradition of your choice. Nothing here is a diagnosis. We'll connect you with one inside Remedae soon.
