A member asked:
Are body weight exercises best for a person with back and knee injuries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most therapy programs for back and knee injuries involve core exercises and quad exercises. Body weight exercises are more than enough to fit this goal, where there is no need for extreme weights and lifting. The key is always to strengthen the core axial and trunk muscles before moving to the extremities.
