Tips & Tricks For Going Up Stairs

Stairs are a common challenge for people with joint pain. Some try going up leading with their "better" leg, or going up sideways, or just avoiding them altogether. All of these strategies focus on avoiding pain rather than improving technique. In this video, I demonstrate how to use your legs more efficiently by reducing shearing forces in the knee and maximizing the use of your strongest muscles.

When you improve your technique you immediately feel stronger and reduce or even eliminate pain. Who doesn't love a little instant gratification?
