[quote=Anonymous]As OP mentioned, weak butt muscles is the culprit for the bad knees unless you are carrying too much weight. This is the reason most people have bad knees or low back issues, it's the dormant butt muscles from sitting all day at work causing the muscles not to fire and hip flexors are tight when it comes to exercise. The glutes is the engine that drives the lower body when it shuts down it puts all the stress on your knees. Simple solutions and not sure if OPs PTs have covered this but get those mini-bands wrap it around your legs and do bodyweight squats, hip abductions, side abductions, "monster walks", etc...spend at least 15 mins doing this before you exercise or do those activation exercises as a stand alone workout until you start feeling those muscles firing. Regularly stretch those hip flexors, use a foam roller or get a sports massage. Try this for a month and if done correctly you should see improvements.[/quote]
