How it works
Strong hip abductors prevent contralateral pelvic drop and ipsilateral knee valgus, reducing foot pronation forces. Calf strength improves shock absorption and reduces impact transmission to the tibia.
Single-leg calf raises and hip abductor exercises are the key exercises. Progress from two-leg to single-leg and from body weight to loaded as tolerated.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
