Wall sits are one of the simplest and most underused tools in knee rehab and early quad loading.

In this video, I break down:

• Why isometric wall sits are powerful for patellar tendon and anterior knee pain
• How to reintroduce quad loading safely after irritation or injury
• Bilateral wall sit setup and coaching cues
• Unilateral setup and coaching cues

Wall sits allow us to:
✔ Load the patellar tendon with controlled intensity
✔ Reduce pain sensitivity through isometrics
✔ Rebuild quad tolerance without excessive joint irritation
✔ Create a foundation before returning to squats, split squats, and higher load work

Whether you're dealing with patellar tendon pain, general anterior knee discomfort, or returning from time off, this is one of my go-to entry points.
