Thank you Dr David for this advice. I spent 18 months in denial and my knee was a puffy mess. But now I have tried these exercises and also pay attention to how my left knee feels, not overdoing it. Much better! I used to have that problem of staggering out of bed and when standing up after sitting for a while. Now I dont have that anymore, and it is improving weekly. Thank you! ❤

I over did it at the gym a couple weeks ago on the cardio strider and while I know I have ligament problems, I also have a lot of arthritis in my right knee. Since I started doing these arthritis exercises, my knee pain has gone from a 9 to a 3. Before I get out of bed in the morning I do these and what a difference. I also have been doing them several times a day. Thanks for these!

Hey Doug! Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you have seen a significant decrease in knee pain after doing the stretches on this video. It is not uncommon for your knee to get flared up from doing cardio, this usually occurs due to the natural tendency of the quads to take over and put excess pressure on the knee. The stretches in this video are a good start but you also need to spend some time strengthening the glutes so you could potentially improve your condition. Here are some glute exercises for you: “Top 5 Glute Muscle Exercises For Knee Pain” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hL6Uds2Fl7fYenU.html “Top 6 Standing Glute Exercises To Help Knee Pain” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oKpnfLVzy7CRnYE.html “3 Big Reasons Your Glute Muscles Won’t Work Well For You” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isedi9Kj1t6ncZ8.html Based on your response we think you might be a good candidate for our knee arthritis recovery - of course the decision is all yours to make. the program is designed to help people have the best chance of avoiding unnecessary surgery, injections, or having to rely on pain medications. This course guides people through exercises and stretches that target key body parts that have the greatest potential to prevent or help with knee conditions like osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage problems and other knee conditions. You can learn more about it here: "Knee Arthritis Recovery Program" epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/knee-arthritis-recovery-program We'd love to continue hearing about your progress! 🙌

I wish your office was closer to here. I watch your videos. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and sciatica all on my right side lower back down to my feet. I sleep awful. My right leg gets so restless and I just don’t know what more I can do. I’m getting cortisone shots again. I had gel shots but after having that, I now have baker cist behind my right knee. Everything is just happening on my right side. I take about 10-15 supplements a day. I just don’t know what more to do. Because of this situation, I have been waking up having cramps and Charlie horses. I rarely sleep because I’m terrified of getting another cramp or worse Charlie horse. They are horrible to have. I hope to find physical therapist like you soon. You’re just very knowledgeable and I like the exercises and stretches you have been showing. Please keep up with the videos. New exercises. New stretches. Maybe even talk about having sciatica as well as osteoarthritis. I do have bursitis and knees are bone on bone as well. Even bone on bone in my right foot. I even got a cortisone shot in my foot. Big mistake. My toes are so tender to touch. I’m miserable but I’m fighting… I work out every day. I stretch everyday. I even made myself get a part time job to help with my knees and movement.

Hi again. Since I last commented on your post I was doing pretty well and felt things were going in the right direction. I had watched your cycling video too and had started using an indoor cycle a little and everything seemed to be going OK. Then last Thursday (5days ago) I did something which seems to have made matters much, much worse. I am in a lot of pain. I am hoping that if I can describe what I did, you might be able to give me an idea what happened and how I might address it. So I was at work sitting at my desk. A colleague needed to use another chair in the office (normal type of adjustable office chair) which is normally used by another colleague. The chair had been set all the way down to its lowest point and she needed it higher. She could not move it. I tried to help her by pulling the lever and lifting the seat with my hands (she was not sitting on the chair) but it would not budge. Therefore, without thinking about whether it would be good for my knees, I sat on the chair, grasped the lever and pushed down hard with my feet against the floor while lifting the seat with my hands. It worked and the seat came up- but as it did I felt something nasty happen and was immediately in a lot of pain- much more than before, and I wouldn't say it has improved at all since. My mobility is now really down and I am in a lot of pain, especially during all the usual difficult situations (going downstairs, getting up and down off chairs and getting up after sitting for a while is pretty excruciating. Also my sleep is disrupted. I would honestly welcome any advice you could give me. I am already referred to physio and muscular skeletal services here in UK but no appointments likely any time soon. Sorry for such a long message. Kind regards,Melissa. @@epmanualphysicaltherapy

Hey Axel, so sorry to hear about your knee arthritis! Make sure you take it easy on the walking if you are in stage 1, having knee swelling or night pains. Focus on strengthening your glutes and foot muscles, and offload your knee as often as possible too!

Hey Josephine! It is absolutely okay to perform two legs at once. However, it would be a good idea to start off only using one leg at a time so that you can make sure that everything is working correctly. Hope this helps!

I have been getting deep tissue massage at my doctor's office. I have spinal stenosis and degenerate disk disease. But he has been massaging my upper legs and it is so painful he will push until i can feel the muscle move and now i am having terrible knee pain! Could this be caused from the massage? I am not doing it anymore and hope they get better.
@epmanualphysicaltherapy9 ай бұрын
Hey Carol! Great question! It is possible that a deep tissue massage could be causing some of your knee pain. In general, a massage is helpful to get overactive muscles to calm down a bit. However, it is important to not over-do it. The massage should be targeted to the muscles that are overactive, but should be at an intensity that is not painful.
