Reason#62828 to get stronger 💪🏽
First off, kneeling is not inherently bad. Even after a knee replacement once you can tolerate it.
But when your knees are irritated- kneeling may not be the most comfortable so there are alternate ways to get up!
One caveat…they do require some strength so it’s important to build strength before trying ⚠️
You do also need some knee mobility here as well- so continuing to work on both bending and straightening is important ☝🏽
Now there are other ways to get up- these are just two suggestions that may be helpful for you 🤗
If there is a possibility to have something to push up from, I highly recommend using it like in strategy one for increased safety.
Use caution when trying these and make sure you have appropriate supervision and assistance if needed ⚠️
Getting up from the floor is possible without kneeling- it may just take some practice!
If these aren’t easy right away, that’s okay! Just like anything else- you may have to practice a few times so your body gets used to it 🙌🏼
Building single leg strength is absolutely imperative.
One client I had, hadn’t kneeled for years because of fear and anticipation of pain. Once we worked through some strengthening movements- she tried for the first time getting up from the floor and was shocked at how easy it was‼️
It is possible! You just need the right steps to get you there ✅
