You video is absolutely amazing. I had my meniscus surgery day one April 18th 2024; and I thank God for seeing your video first search to come across your exercises. You two are brilliant and i am recovering well with all your tips exercises. Icings and elevating with tolerating exercises i am recovering well. Thanks for your awesome video.. God bless you 🙏

thanks guys, this video helps me remember what I've learned at physical therapy and gives me a bit extra too. You explain things so well!

Absolutely love these guys! Used your videos before… just came off meniscus surgery 2 Weeks ago and this is the perfect video for me! Subscribed! 🖤

I had meniscus surgery two weeks ago in Mexicali, Baja California with Dr. Garnier. My physical therapist is booked for three weeks so I’m glad I found this video. I used a cane only one day, and was feeling much better the second day. I have very little discomfort, and have no issues like others are posting here. I am almost 58 years old, and I’m pleasantly surprised I healed this fast. I will do these exercises anyways to strengthen my knee.

Very helpful guys! Just had my meniscus surgery 7 days ago. PT is all backed up in my city. Thank you so much.

Very good information. Having this procedure done soon. Thank you. Even though it's 2yr old post it's very helpful. Motivational for many people all of your videos. Best of regards for all of you're hard work.

Thank you for sharing this informative video. I'm going to try your exercises this week.

I love your videos guys. Just had this surgery yesterday and you are so helpful. Bless you guys!!!! Thank you.

All the physical therapy rehabs are booked 2 to 3 months out. I had mine on 11/30/21. Im glad I found you as I will apply some of your exercises so I can walk better.

Glad I found this channel. Just had meniscus surgery and immediately started a couple of these exercises. I am post-OP day #1.

As a timberframer and hand tool woodworker, the plumb bob reference was absolutely terrific. Thanks for making such an informative and entertaining video!

You gents are informative and entertaining! Not only was I able to diagnose that I had injured my meniscus through your videos, but post-surgery your exercise demonstrations have helped me to regain my range of motion. Thanks so much!

Awesome video guys! Just did these second day after repair surgery

I just had meniscus surgery a few days ago and this video is just what I needed.Thanks ever so much!

Just had meniscus surgery last Friday and wanted to try to do a little bit of movement. Your advice aligned precisely with my orthopedic surgeon and it was really nice to see the actual movements . I also really appreciated how you gave progressive time frames for the activities-like the first couple days you only do this and then these are the exercises/stretches that you do next and then you don’t do these for 10 days or two weeks… That was very helpful because otherwise I might’ve tried to do too much!Thank you for making this! Plus I enjoy how much you two seem to really respect and like each other and the lightheartedness of your videos.👍👍😊

Big Thank You, for the clear directions about how to rehab my knee after arthroscopy. I just had a meniscus surgery a few days ago and hurts. You both have motivated me to get started and strengthen in small increments my knee. Much appreciated.

Glad to have found your channel. Im on my 4th day post op of meniscectomy and your exercises are very helpful 🎉

Bob and Brad; God bless you both.

Had my surgery June 22nd, FU JUNE 27th, now 8 days out- I called PT bc they haven’t called me& they can’t get me in until Aug 1st. I’ve guessed and was already doing some of these on my own. So it was awesome to see I was doing the right things and what I could add now. Thank you❤😅

You guys are great! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge :)

Doctor told me that I don’t need sugary, but have been for 2 years until now. I will pay more attention and doing this exercise daily. Thank you.

Excellent training post knee surgery. Thank you

Perfect. We are in the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic and it's suggested we keep our distance from others. I had my surgery about 10 days ago and have been doing some exercises. I've been to the PT dept for other things and know their beds are close together and their waiting room is small so it's too difficult to keep any kind of distance. I'm 73-years old so decided to use your suggestions. BTW, my name is Jim so the video seems personal too!

Nice vid guys!!! I recently had a meniscus root repair crutches were my best friend for almost 2 months non weight bearing When I finally started therapy my leg was so weak until I started doing similar exercises strength finally coming back yay!!!!!!

2 weeks post op, can finally walk up stairs, have full knee extension, but my leg tends to hyper-extend when I'm walking , probably because of the loss of strength in my hamstrings. Very helpful video thank you

Thanks for your video it helps me to do the exercises

Thank you Bob and Brad. I tore my meniscus in August prior to my breast cancer surgery and now it’s June and I finally got 50% of my meniscus removed. I am rehabbing at home 500 crunches and leg lifts and weights. This helps a lot. Thanks Bob and Brad.

Fantastic video! Will be sharing ALL of your videos cuz you guys are GREAT!

Got to try this! I had a triple ligament tear in Dec 2018, didn't have my operation till June 2019. Had all 3 ligaments replaced, and meniscus repair, then in Jan 2020 had a kick to my injured knee at work causing further damage to my meniscus. Had an op 3 weeks ago to repair but because it was too damaged, most had to be cut away. Now I'm finding I'm in more pain then before so hopefully this video can help me out! Looking forward to seeing and feeling the results!

I had surgery for minuscule 1 month ago, you will help me a lot with these exercises.Thanks.

You two are legends. Thanks for the content

I’ve just had a meniscus repair and his video is so helpful! Thank you!!

Thank you guys for clear instructions and confidence to bend my knee again even if it was still pretty scary thank you

I'll be one week post lateral meniscus surgery tomorrow, I'll start my rehab with these exercises, cant thank you enough for saving all the hassle! RESPECT

Just what I needed! Thanks!

Im back! Getting surgery on my left knee on Friday and this video helped me with the right one so thanks.

Love your videos guys! Funny and really detailed!

Great info. I had meniscus surgery on Nov 3,2020. As a gym owner and trainer sitting still has been driving me crazy. This is better info than my surgeon has given. I start PT next week but this is very encouraging. Definitely subscribing and trying out all the moves. Thanks

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you, this helps a lot. Thx

Awesome information thank you

Excellent exercises! Just had Menicectomy 2 weeks ago. I was very fit for a number of years prior to my surgery , a gym rat. Also, an RN for 42 yrs. 12 months ago, I started doing Pilates Reformer. after watching your videos, the exercises we do in reformer are what's mostly youve shown. I was back to gym a week later after surgery doing upper body strength exercises and Pilates Reformer. I t feels good again to be able to do them slowly. Thank you for sharing . Il be doing your exercises today.

Thank you for doing this.

Very good information. Dr. R

Thanks for the video

Helpful & amusing!

I'm only 2 minutes in and I've learnt more than I ever did from my surgeon or the nurses I had a double meniscus tear in nov'17, couldn't see the specialist till june'18 and finally september'19 I've had surgery. I wasn't told AT ALL about elevate and ice, I misunderstood "you need to walk out of the hospital" for "you need to pretend you're normal". I was crying. I spent 4hrs resting but was so terrified of blood clots that 5hrs after surgery I was on my feet doing regular things. It hurt me so much but I thought I had to. Thank you for explaining As Tolerated. Even though my pain was shooting up into the 9s and I was worried I might black out from it I thought because the sharpness would fade back to an 8 that it was "tolerable". 😭 It wasn't until 5 days later when I called up the office about a complication that I learnt about elevate and ice. I thought I just had to push through, grin and bear it. I'm crying now because I wish I knew what as tolerated meant when they told me. (I have endo, I live in constant debilitating pain and have to find a way to function so this felt like nothing different).

Thank you so much , help my knee

Thank you. Very helpful

Thank you !

I like them all. Thanks

My mom just had debriding done and we are using this video to recover.

Good chemistry and informative

Amazing! Thank you!

Thank you gentlemen

Week 1 after meniscus surgery. Your 🎥 has been helpful. Took 6 months to figure out through workmans comp. Injured in Dec 2021🤔🤭

Thanks for the motivation. Had my right knee meniscus repaired 8 days ago and your exercises are exactly what I needed. Very clear and simply videos. Much appreciated..

Its been a week since my meniscus surgery and i was released with the worst details on stretches/activities to do. I was given 2 extremely generic and somewhat useless excercises to do. This is going to be very helpful as i feel my knee is very swollen and my range is pretty limited.

My surgeon did more than debride. Attached meniscus back onto capsule and did an interior tear repair. Brace and crutches x 1 month !

Thank you so much! Had meniscus surgery 9 days ago abd this is helping to loose up. May God bless you both. BTW.....I'm 73 years young. 😂

thank you!

Guys I wanna note that the exercises that have to do with applying pressure to the meniscus ( weight ) should be done after 4 to 6 weeks IF you had had REPAIR and not REMOVAL.

thanks for this. just had this procedure yesterday and didn't receive exercises

Why didn't I look for you right away...thank you for sharing

Really informative video, after a week since my arthroscope i will try more of your suggestions. I feel confident that i am on the right track and am regaining strength, movement and walking. It gets a little easier each day

Doctor bob and Brad I am your big fan;You guys are really very great.It would be really very helpful for me if you help me with therapy.I am running in 6 weeks after my acl and meniscus surgery; could you please post in you tube or send me the exercise videos privately.🙏🙏🙏

Good job

I love watching u guys. U get along very well.

Love this video. Having meniscus surgery pretty soon. Very informative and helpful. Going to save me some time and money for quick recovery. Appreciate you both for helping us through this process.

Thank you very much for this video! I had surgery two weeks ago and I was feeling all stiff and lots of pain. I started these excercises at home and the office and I am feeling the difference.

Great video. Thank you :)

I love ❤️ watching you both and you Excercise really works, I really appreciate it.❤❤❤

Gr8!!! Thnku!!!🙏🏽

Well done guys, can you do something about sound, because it's too low. Many thanks for your efforts...

I am 48 hours post op. He had to cut out a LOT of it. The tear was pretty bad. The surgeon said I should start doing exercises starting today. My knee feels extremely weak, but I’m determined to start building my muscle back. My situation is pretty catch 22 because I’ve had 2 lower lumbar surgeries (laminectomy and discectomy) which I wouldn’t say “failed” because my pain went from constant 9-10 for 2 years down to a 2-4. Long story short, i tore my meniscus during PT for my back. I am trying to now build my core back so I can try to eliminate as much back pain as I can, as well as build the muscles in my leg so I can strengthen it. My question to you guys is pretty tough to answer: will I have to live in pain the rest of my life? If I can get my leg strength back I can finally rebuild my core which has been immobile for the past 6 mo the because of my knee

Thanks for the info. I just had the surgery three weeks ago and my range is about 1/3 there. Long way to go. I was very active before the surgery, so I’m feeling like I’ll never get the range back, but patience and every day stretches at home will get me there. Physical therapy is a must!

I have been cycling since my surgery. I will incorporate these exercises into a daily routine. I’m a bit hesitant to run just yesterday. Great video, thank ya”ll.

Thanks for the NERD fun! I'm no longer as afraid to move seeeing ya do yer thing."shoot ya! Eh?"( I live near Canada your accents sound familiar). You guys could show a walker for many of these movements. My only adaptive equip I have besides crutches today is a gifted walker and it allowed me to hit a bunch of your focus points. Nice vid!

I'm 5 months in after a meniscus repair and I'm going great , I plant soccer everyday again and I've no pain , I'm 18 and I'm so happy with the result as of right now

Had meniscus surg a week ago. PT at 5 days. Knee felt so much better before PT than after PT. I am 67. I think they are too aggressive. Was not swollen now it is. Ordered your knee glide today.

This is what is happening with my knee, I was getting Physio and he said it would heal without surgery but would take a long time, I rested it for 12 weeks and still it hurts. I was reading that this Meniscus does not get as much blood flow, like 14 so self-healing is very restricted because of it? I am trying to avoid surgery! Thanks guys

I had miniscus sergury one day ago.i will follow these steps

Had meniscus surgery about 4 months ago. Also did physical therapy. I'm still feeling a lot of discomfort when I've been sitting for a while and then get up. I try to play golf walking 9 holes once or twice a week but I think all around my knee has become weaker. Think I need to start doing these. Hopefully it helps.

Had surgery yesterday. Have me doing exercises today.

You guys are wild! Great video.

I tore both my ACL and meniscus and had to have surgery on the meniscus but I can walk on it it is somewhat healed. Fully healed about two and a half weeks or so but the stiffness and pain during bending or moving at and the fact that it's swollen the size of a softball makes it even harder to bend

Bob and Brad! Your self video was one factor in me finding out I had a meniscus root tear from a fall while hiking. Thank you? I'm a year and a half out from meniscus repair surgery. They even did this tunnel thing that left a small vertical scar under my knee (no acl problem, 35 yo female). I was committed to PT and was in for a YEAR and I still have some pain bending, some clicking and I'm still hesitant to play sports or run. How good/pain free should I expect to be? Is it time to go back for a MRI?

I love your videos! You guys are amazing! Fot the first time, I got a question. My dr is possitive I have a small meniscus tear, and I was wondering if I can add electrodes (TENS kind of technology) to the excercises. Because all the popping/cracking noise really freaks me out haha. I know, weird question.

Excellent job 👍👌👏👍👏👍

Hi Doctor, I had an arthroscopy on my knee last Sunday. I feel better walking carefully without crutches. I wonder when I need to start doing my exercises please. Now: 72 hours. Thank you.

cheers boss

I'm now 75 and very active. I had arthroscopy surgery 5 years ago and was successful. Now I am older, stiffening of my legs are now beginning to show. What exercises can I do to strengthen the legs, without damaging the original surgery. Thank you.

Hi I enjoy your videos. Question my bones crack on my joints. Feet, ankles,, shoulders. How can I fix?

getting my displaced bucket handle meniscus tear repaired this friday!

I know this video is a year old now, however I wonder do these rehab exercises apply for after a medial posterior meniscus root repair surgery? If so, when would you recommend performing these exercises? When would you think a person could start walking without crutches?

I’m 1 month post op from a lateral bucket handle meniscus repair. The first week was really hard and painful. My best advice is don’t skip even one day on the physical therapy. I’ve been doing it everyday and can fully straighten, my quad is activating, and I’m bending a little past 90. I have a long way to go but getting there 😮

Love you guys! Amazing like usual. Just one question😊: which is the size of the ball?

I just had my first stage of 2 stage acl revision. It’s been a day less than 2 weeks since the proceeder and it scares me the lake of information my doctor has provided to recover for the next 3 months before the last step and reconstructing the new acl! I’ve went ahead and scheduled an appointment with my primary so that I can get a referral for physical therapy! The surgeon said he doesn’t believe in physical therapy an thinks I should do it at home but how can I get motivated enough to go to the gym without knowing what Ive gotta do, plus limping into a gym at my age doesn’t seem to desirable😂 the inflation is finally going down and got my stables removed 🤙🏼 I can straighten it out perfectly and bending is at about 35-40 degrees but one I get to that point it’s stiff and hurts like hell. I had a failed acl reconstruction back in 2013 and just want my knee to feel stable and Normal again!!! Any comments questions anything would be mad helpful thanks 🙌🏼🤙🏼

Hi, my name is Jim and I laughed because you said this video is for "JIM". So, this video is for me lol

Also meniscus surgery, still scared to bend my leg 😅 this video was a help with my stretches, thank you
