I have spinal degeneration in the lower lumbar/sacral area. Are there any exercises I can do to help support/strengthen my back?

Helps strengthen the kneecap mechanism by applying pressure on the tendon above the kneecap as well. This tends to reduce the forces of the quadriceps on the patella tendon and erosion of the under surface of the kneecap due to a possible misalignment of the quadriceps (Q-angle).
