Isometric knee press
Sit with one leg straight, a rolled towel under your knee. Press the back of your knee DOWN into the towel as hard as you can. Hold 5 sec. Release. 10 reps per leg, 2× a day. Strengthens the quadriceps without joint movement — ideal for hypermobility (EDS), post-op knee, or anyone who locks their knees passively standing.
