How To Protect Unstable Knees

In this video I answer a Youtube question on how to protect knees that are unstable or “hypermobile.”

I discuss the following topics:

1. What is a hypermobile knee?

2. Why do some people get instability in the knees?

3. How does a hypermobile knee function as compared to a stable knee?

4. Anatomy and structure in the knee.

5. How to protect the knee.

6. Why muscle symmetry is important

7. What areas and strengthening strategies to focus on.

8. The importance of hip mobility and muscle flexibility.

9. Importance of working on “proprioceptive feedback” and balance.

10. Progressing to normal function.

***This video entails a general guideline which can be helpful to most people who deal with knee pain or even knee injuries overall.
