Here are key stretching and strengthening moves that you can practice to help pain-proof your knees.<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nCalf stretch<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\nStand at arm’s length away from a wall. Place your right foot behind your left foot. With your hands against the wall for support, slowly bend your left knee forward, keeping your right knee straight, your right heel on the floor, and your left knee above your left foot. Hold for about 30 seconds. Switch legs and repeat.<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\nLie or sit on the floor with your right leg extended straight out in front of you and a towel roll under your right knee. Push your knee down into the towel while you tighten your thigh. Hold for five seconds, then release. Do three sets of 10 reps, then switch legs.<\/div>\n
