It's so hard to explain knee bursitis to people who've never had it themselves. Everyone has bad advice, based on someone they know who had a meniscus tear or arthritis or some other injury, that is totally unrelated. Thank you for this video.

After an ortho doc. diagnosed me with Pes Anserine Bursitis, I wasn't able to get in to PT for two weeks. I was in a lot of pain and it was very frustrating having to wait for some relief. I have arthritis and chronic pain from CRPS. At first I couldn't do the exercises because of the pain. Even anti-inflammatory meds. (ibuprofen, advil, and eventally I tried Meloxicam) weren't helping. The only things that helped me were ice and pain patches. I started doing your exercises, after icing really well first, and eventually they started to help. I think it's important to emphasize getting the pain calmed down before starting the stretches.Thank you so much!!

I’ve given birth to 5 children but this pain bought me to tears. I’m so grateful for this information

These exercises have helped me immensely in treating my pes anserine bursitis. I had ankle surgery in August and wasn’t full weight bearing for 3 months, and once I started walking again I had a lot of pain in my knee. I found this video and started doing the stretches and exercises every day. And I have gone from feeling pain almost all day to almost being pain free-all in two weeks. The exercises don’t take long and are very effective (at least for me). The clam shell tuna Bob does sitting up (the last stretch) is the one I find the most effective, but they are all very good. Love these videos and am very thankful for Bob and Brad!

Bob and Brad, thank you that you both are doing a terrific job. I wrote this lot to encourage others because I feel so much better doing these exercises. I have knee bursitis and didn't want to go for physio because of the pandemic so I started doing these exercises twice a day at home (I picked about eight). The exercises start at about 6:25 into the video. The key is to go slowly and not push yourself in the beginning. Two exercises that are really painful to do is with Bob doing the quad stretch (at 8:15), and the one following on his tummy with pulling up the belt. I started slowly with only five times and was able to bend my knee more and do 10 the following day. It got more tolerable each day. Now I am on my third day and already feeling so much improvement. I can already go up and down the stairs. I still have some cracking that's painful with certain movements but I am hoping that will dissipate soon. I wish the exercises were numbered as you go along but I followed it and wrote down the instructions to make it easier. Thanks again guys!

This is a total SNL skit waiting to happen! I am literally LOL! Aside from that, their information is amazing! Having not been weightlifting at the gym for a year due to COVID-19 has taken its toll on my right knee for sure. Thanks so much for the great information! Au revoir, pes anserine bursitis!

You guys rock! Thank you SO MUCH for what you both do. As a competitive runner I am always looking for prehab exercises (and rehab when needed!). You are definitely helping lives.

They start demonstrating the stretches around 6:20

What a wonderful couple of goofballs. Everything you show is so very approachable, honest and useful . Thank you both

Thank you!! I started getting what I think is bursitis out of nowhere today. Great exercises!

I walk about 5 mi/day..briskly. Out of nowhere my knee started hurting. This time 🙄, it seems to be prepatellar bursitis. Your videos are so helpful!! Ty!! Hopefully, I'm on the road to recovery!

Thank you very much for making this. I have had pes anserine pain and this is extremely helpful.

The position you are discussing has several names. Here they are! Dancer: “First position, turned out seated” Yogi: “bound angle/badha konasana” Athlete: “sit on the floor bottoms of feet together” 🤣 thanks so much you two! 💕 the vids! 😍🔥👏🏻🙏

Thanks for drawing on your leg- very helpful to really understand the different types!

Y'all are the best on KZfaq plain and simple. Lol

Looking good boys. Been waiting for some knee things.

Thank you this is really helpful. I fell off a wall and had to have my knee glued, I’m a runner, I did rest for 5 weeks then started back running and now 5 months on I’ve been told I have bursitis; I’ve probably not helped it by running so now I need to rest it. This really helps, thank you 🙏

Doing butt kicks or quad stretches (like 8:30 but standing up) really hurt that pes muscle area and my knee feels real stiff to get full range of motion. I hope these exercises will help. Thank you! 👍🏾

I'm sure I have minor inflammation on the inside of my knee from training. How long does it usually take to recover before I can start running etc?

I hope this channel is still active cuz this is gold

Bob and Brad thank you. I'm starting these exercises andcstretches now.

Always excellent advice thank you two guys a lot. God bless

This was really helpful! Thank you

Thank you, Simple excercises, for simple person😊😊You have helped me in many excercises I thank you💐💐

Hilarious and informative! Thanks for the detailed instructions. You guys should take your show on the road😂

You two are the best, Thanks for ALL you teach🤩

You just give the best advice out there. Love how straight forward and simple the instructions are.

THANK to the both of YOU

I truely appreciate everything you show us!

Stretches start at min 6:15

Thank you, I’ll give it a try or two!

Appreciate you guys. You're awesome!

Thanks! Love you guys!

I got mine from playing lots of basketball, i hope the stretches will help

Dr Bob and Brad, I just had a steroid injection into two of bursa on the knee (the goose foot one). How long do you think I should wait before I begin back my physio? I don't feel the relief that my doctor spoke about yet. He said within hours I could see it. But not so much yet - walking, getting up from a chair and standing still hurts. Should I just rest and ice it as much as I can and then restart my physio? Also my doctor recommended swimming and paddling on a stationary bike? What do you think? Hope to hear everyone's comments and advice. I have been having bursitis for about 11 months. Just got the shots yesterday. God bless. From: Molly, 25, Malaysia

This may be what I was looking for.

Hi, i have been watching your videos on Pes Anserine Bursitis that’s what my Dr said I had and now that pain is gone but now the pain is very different as if I have a price of cartilage under my knee and it’s as if it moves around. It’s when I walk that I feel as if it moves around and the pain is sharp. Please let me know if there’s a remedy for this pain that is attributed to walking around. Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your videos you guys are the best.

Thanks for this. I’m doing the exercises and it’s helping. What’s your opinion on doing cardio with knee bursitis? Stationary bike and swimming okay?

Thank you bob and bret today I had pain in my knee and I did the exersize now I nearly don't have no pain thanks

Great video, can you please do one for elbow bursitis.

Thank You

Thank you so much!

I have hoffas syndrome and some of these exercises are what my PT told me to do as well

Thank you.

You Guys Always Make me Laugh. Seriously the Best......

Thanks for the info gents. I took a blow to the inside of my left knee a few months back doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It's a form of wrestling with lots of use of the legs and clamping arms, legs and necks with knees is a big part of it. I have a floating lump in the area of the Pes Anserine bursa. Not entirely sure if the lump is the bursa per se or a new appendage cause by the trauma. I didn't take it very seriously but it hasn't cleared and keeps flaring up. It can be very tender but sometimes the lump is there with no pain. The jiu jitsu actually means my legs are very strong because we make all the movements you showed. I find I have to use massage balls to work all the hip and glute muscles or they become quite sore. I just started icing and it looks like I will need to take some time off. I couldn't go to jiu jitsu for a week and the lump was shrinking so a rest cure looks like what I have to do. I am thinking about cycling on the basis that is is light load and will stimulate blood flow around the knee. Just wondering if you have an opinion on that? Thanks again guys.

you guys are so funny, and i learn a lot today!

Hi you people are really amazing actually my mom is suffering from this from past 1yr we are started this stretches from today hope she will get the best result.. thank you is there any way to consult you people?

I had a knee replacement Nov 1, 2021. It is Feb 12, 2022 and I have quite a bit of swelling (with associated pain) above, below and on the lateral side of the knee cap. I am suspecting bursitis as I have very good flex and extension (130 and .5 degrees respectively) and no other symptoms.

I am pretty sure these are the same strengthening exercises that you would do for osteoporosis in the hips.

And do you do the stretches and exercises even if the knee (pes anserine) hurts while doing them ?

You both look great and are very likeable and valuable too!

Thank you for the great information. What should be the cadence for stretching ? And the cadence for the strength exercises? Basically how often do we do those?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hello. If you had a knee replacement, hould you take antibiotics every time you have dental work? I heard yes but was also told only take them the first two years after the replacement. Thanks

Do ithave permanent recovery ?

Loved the video really good advice. I coach gymnastics to kids aged 2 till 17 and I recently developed pes anserine bursitis in the same leg I recently tore a calf muscle and have sciatica in.... can that be the reason i have developed the pes anserine bursitis or is it just due to my job?

Are there any supplements you recommend for bursitis ? Also will it heal on its own, is there an average amount of time it takes to heal? Thx

Gosh gee you guys put so much into making these great videos that I wish all the background yapping would be erased. Found it hard to understand you at times because of it. I’m old and hearing not the best. But I did watch it. Thank you both.

Too funny. You guys make me laugh. Loving your work 😁👏❤

Thank you for this video. i showed it to my mom so she's now going to do the exercises.

Got one of these after breaking my tibia and had an IM nail put in the. GP have antibiotics.

Does it heal completely naturally?

If I can easily do 30 reps of these exercises, are they really doing anything for me? Doesn't that imply the strength is already there?

What about exercise for bursitis behind knee?

Lmao you guys are awesome Got a chuckle and learned something

If you rupture your bursa on your knee from falling on concrete, with a lot of swelling and bruising - with already having bad arthritis.. and months later there is pain, numbness and lumps right under the skin of the knee from the bursa, does it usually ever heal completely? Does it cause arthritis to get worse? Please help me with advice.. I have already seen a family doctor, neurologist and orthopedic surgeon and it really didn’t help.

Are these meant to be done every day?

Hello Bob and Brad, I'm suffering from medial meniscus tear and pes anserine bursitis. Your excercises helped me very much, i do, however , stil have pain in my knee as well as difficulty flexing it while hip is extended or internally rotated. What exercises do you suggest to do in order to improve it? Sincerely, Nadya

uhmmm what happened to the 'self diagnosis at home" part?

Fellas, why do you recommend a bent knee groin stretch? Gracilis crosses the knee, so shouldn't one do a straight knee groin stretch?

I have PES bursitis from wrestling, i took 3 months off and after one day back and no impact, just kneeling, i feel it again. Will the strengthening the muscles help prevent re-injury?

You two reminds me of Bert & Ernie...

Any guide regarding knee effusion treatment please?

A y advice for pain on back of keeping after meniscus repair.?

Golden

Could it be triggered by a spinal (attached) muscle or hip muscle OR opposite shoulder/neck tightness that may be pulling diagonally across via the spine muscle to the opposite hip? And if yes how can that be tested or how would one know the root cause so treatment can be properly designed?

Love from india

Doing these with knee bursitis impossible for me

Nice video and all, but I've got a swollen knee with hurts if I fold it, I can't see myself doing these stretches without being in a considerable amount of pain. What do I do? :/

Please advise on hip Bursitis

Question, whenever I do the hip abductor exercise my hips pop. Is this normal?

haha well I'm not sorry you were both born, you both rock!

Hi! Would you still recommend these to a chronic suprapatellar bursitis?

Cutie patooties.....thanks gonna try these for my self diagnoses goose foot bursitis.

I thought I had bursitis but the lump on my knee is on the outer left kneecap (opposite the goose foot bursa). Any idea what it could be? It occurs most often while hiking downhill, but it has also flared up while biking and working out. Thanks in advance!

Is this possible to be caused by a bad sprain? I have a confirmed MCL partial tear and meniscus tear. Other ligaments are intact. Over 4 weeks later I'm still very swollen just below the knee cap. I have had a history of patella tendonopathy. Weird thing is the swelling feels quite solid and not tender

Curious, could poor heel arch support or type of shoe cause the pes anserine bursitis? I have not had pain until getting a new pair of shoes and then walking /hiking 14 miles only to develop this pain. Also interesting enough, I also wearout my shoes soles on the outside edges always and I am a bit knee knocked is what I call it, twisted knees, when my feet are angled out especially the right knee my knees look straight, when right foot is turned straight forward, my right knee is turned in. I think this new shoe exacerbated this to where it eventually caused pain. I also notice I "lock" my knees alot when standing.I ice sometimes, wear a cloth knee "brace" and have started your exercises. Thank you for the video; I hope it helps so I can begin more rigorous activity again.

Hi. Thank you so much. I learnt a lots of things from your video. I'm doing practice for Tata Mumbai Marathon. But suddenly in last 15-17 days I observed If I put a Palm or fingers on the side of the knee I feel a noise during leg folding. It's very painful when I do it after running 10-12 kilometre. Normally it's fine. When I start to run after reached 10-12 kilometre I can't run run. It's happening last few days, never happened in my life like this. Even I did 30-32 kilometre . What should I do ? Only left 9 days for marathon.

Recently had sciatic pain after that I feels a knee bones hitting together sensation on right knee whenever I walked faster with any footwear with even a small heel , if walk in flat foot ware or bare foot no difficulty, can u plz tell why this was happen

When Bob did the hip abductor in the frog position that would be so painful for me My tendon on the right leg is too tight... of course my right hip is severely damaged from arthritis, What can I do?

I love you guys, you guys make it work everyday, that's what's up! #businessisbusiness;)

Can hip problems cause this too??

Can tendonitis be cured?

Those exercises should be slower and more controlled, to get the best benefit

8:39

Should I do these while my knee is hurting from it’s bursitis ❓
