Below are exercises specifically directed toward strengthening the above listed muscles. Remember, however, to discuss any exercise program with your physician before starting it.

Wall Slides

2)Slowly bend your knees, sliding your back down the wall, for a count of five until your knees are bent at a 45 degree angle. (do not bend too much further than this as it will cause increased strain on your knees)

3)Hold this position for 5 seconds
