What do people think of on knee push-ups when if are they appropriate

Hi Jessica,

I will use knee push-ups occasionally–I feel that they are appropriate for many people with limitations. I do prefer, however, to try an incline position first to engage the chest and the core more. I also agree with Nancy on the eccentric phase of the pushup–have them on their toes to lower down if they can and then drop to their knees for the concentric phase up.

All said and done, it will really depend on your client.
