The knee comprises of 4 main functions. During this practice, Dav shares isometric training drills to improve the stability and mobility of the knee joint. This class focuses primarily on the external rotation of the knee joint, helping you gain better mobility and develop a greater sense of confidence in your knees. Through a series of guided exercises, you’ll learn techniques to support your knees in everyday movements and athletic activities. Join Dav to experience a blend of mobility and strength training tailored for your knees.
What is Functional Mobility – Knee Joint External Rotation
Functional mobility refers to the ability to move freely and efficiently in everyday activities. Knee joint external rotation is a specific movement where the knee turns outward. This movement is crucial for overall knee health and functionality. Improving external rotation can help support the long-term health and function of the knee joint, reduce injury risk, and enhance performance in physical activities. Exercises focusing on this can strengthen and stabilise the knee, making daily movements and agility a pain free experience.
Benefits of Functional Mobility – Knee Joint External Rotation
| Benefits | Explanations |
|---|---|
| Reduced Injury Risk | Strengthens the knee, making it less prone to injuries during physical activities. |
| Increased Strength | Builds muscle strength around the knee, supporting overall joint health. |
| Improved Posture | Contributes to joint centration. A term which allows the joint to function from a foundational starting point. |
| Enhanced Balance | Helps in maintaining balance by providing a stable foundation. |
| Pain Relief | Alleviates discomfort and pain associated with poor knee mobility. |
| Greater Joint Health | Promotes long-term knee health by maintaining improved range in the knee joints range of motion (R.O.M). |

FAQ’s
1. How does functional mobility training differ from traditional stretching?
Functional mobility training includes static and dynamic movements through progressive controlled movements through active range of motion of the joints capacity – to move the joint(s) without the use of an external force . Stretching often refers to passive range of motion – to move the joints of the body into position with the use of an external force.
2. Can this class help with sports performance?
Yes, Improving knee mobility and strength can enhance your overall athletic performance.
3. What is isometric training?
Isometric training involves exercises where the muscle length and joint position doesn’t change during the isometric muscle contraction. This in turn teaches the body’s nervous system more resilience by improving muscle engagement and joint range.
4. Is this class suitable for older adults?
Yes, the class moves at a very slow and mindful tempo. This practice is great for all levels and age groups and can help greater stability through the knee joints.
