🦵 Why Do My Knees Hurt When I Squat?
Knee pain during squats typically shows up for two main reasons. In the sagittal plane, excessive knee travel over the toes combined with quad dominance increases stress on the front of the knee. In the frontal plane, poor hip control can cause the knees to cave inward (genu valgum), placing abnormal strain on the knee joint. Both issues often stem from weak or underactive glute muscles.

🔧 How To Fix Knee Pain When You Squat
The solution isn’t to stop squatting — it’s to squat better. Shifting your weight slightly posteriorly to emphasize a proper hip hinge reduces knee stress and recruits your glutes. At the same time, strengthening your hip abductors helps keep your knees in proper alignment so they don’t collapse inward. When you fix both planes of motion, knee pain often disappears.
