Knee Pain, potential glute or back issue ??

[nirish]

I've just taken from a couple off the internet really for strengthening glutes and hip abductors in general.

Side leg lifts
Clams
Squats and Single Leg Squats
Hip Raises, Single Leg Hip Raises
Glute Kick
Lunge

I'm also using tennis ball work my TFL as I suspect it could be tight, I also feel sensation in a similar area to my knee issue when I roll the hip in this area.

Hi Nirish,

That's a good start. May also be worth trying some resisted walking - If you can get hold of a resistance band, put it around the balls of your feet and sidestep against the resistance of the elastic - really good way of firing up the Gluteals.

As mentioned before, try the exercises first and then consider getting your running gait analysed for any abnormalities that may affect the issue. Good luck
