By strengthening your leg muscles is that good for my knee arthritus?

Not so: Strengthening leg muscl es does not improve arthritis. The strength of muscles has nothing to do with the degeneration of a joint. Arthitis is a wearing away of joint cartilage and build up of bony bunmp in and around a joint.

Support helps: Not all knee arthritis is helpful. For some people, strengthening the hips muscles and re- in forcing the way the muscles behind and in front of the knee work together, can decrease overall pain. See a physiatrist to see if you are a candidate for a personalized physical therapy program. It may not decrease the arthritis, but it can improve function.
