Exercises can help in managing pes anserine bursitis. Physical therapy and specific strengthening exercises can help reduce pain and improve knee function. Stretching exercises can also help maintain flexibility and reduce the risk of future flare-ups. It is important to consult a physical therapist or doctor to develop an appropriate exercise plan, as certain exercises may exacerbate symptoms if done improperly.

Lie on your back with your legs straight.
Place a rolled towel underneath your knee on the leg to be exercised.
Your heel should rest on the ground with your toes pointing directly up towards the ceiling.
Tighten your thigh muscle and push the back of your knee into the towel.
Your leg should remain still as you tense your thigh.
Hold this position.
Relax, and repeat.
2."Heel Slides"
Lie on your back with your legs straight.
