5. Bridge Pose
This Pilates and yoga posture is highly effective against knee pain. “You can use the resistance band,” she notes. Lie on your back with both knees bent and feet on the ground. Your arms are beside your body. Inhale in this position, exhale as you lift your buttocks, lower back, and mid-back. Your knees should stay parallel. Inhale at the top, then exhale as you unroll your spine and lower your buttocks last. “Controlled movement is important.”
