[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1055097, member: 73592"] Mostly, but not quite. The exercises above are the add-ons beyond squats, deadlifts and bench-press; but they're not to be put off for a few years first and not to be ignored in favour of doing more squats deadlifts and bench presses. They're mostly about giving you the control to be able to use the power gained from the basics in the gym, and preventing injury in the first place. Your old physio... went too far with that. Far more knee problems are cause by the hips than most people think (and the same is true the other way around) but that's a long way from being "nearly every" I absolutely agree to see a physio. As for "extra running" it depends what baseline we're talking about. The people with the healthiest knees are those jogging 2-10km 2-3 times per week. There's a whole host of things to do for "knees that hurt when running" before reaching the stage of "don't run". Running is brilliant for most knee problems - as is walking. Advice to avoid is simply out of date. That said, rower / elliptical is fine advice - avoiding hard surfaces depends on what the alternatives are, and other factors for the individual patient. You know wrong (probably) - but don't worry, it's just one of those things that "everyone knows" and is simply not true in the significant majority of cases. I'd strongly recommend seeing either (or both) a physiotherapist or chiropractor about all of this anyway, from the feet upwards. I'd recommend starting the progressions of the exercises I suggested above in conjunction with a physio (or chiro if they're into this stuff) - and feel free to take my list along with you. [/QUOTE]
