Knees Over Toes Guy Review (from a Doctor of Physical Therapy)
As a doctor of physical therapy and strength and conditioning coach who also competed in college athletics. I have been receiving a lot of questions about the knees over toes guy and if his methods are legit or not? So this video is a review of the knees over toes guy exercises. His training system is called ATG and he has 3 programs which help people who are in knee pain. This review of the #kneesovertoesguy is completely unsolicited. At the time of making this video I have no relationship with Ben Patrick (knees over toes guy) what so ever. This is just my opinion on the topic of knees over toes as doctor of physical therapy who has treated knee pain and surgery for 10 years.

I've been using some of KOT's training. I would say that the most IMPORTANT thing is to start with low intensity on all the moves. Even with walking, or running backwards, using body weight, or with resistance, it's very important to start with low intensity, and build up from there.

@sportsrehabexperts 3 жыл бұрын

@@jaleelserrano9037 popping isn't necessarily bad as long as not painful. Think about cracking your knuckles. It's just a shift in pressure fluid within the knee joint capsule. Either because your range is limited and so fluid not used to shifting around as much. Or you have full range and not the end range muscular strength to support the joint structure to its fullest potential. Again, I would not view it as bad. Just that you need to improve your motion or take your progressions gradually.

I have had knee surgery. both the surgeon and physical therapist basically told me to be sedentary. The surgeon told me the only exercise I should ever do again is swimming. (partial knee replacement) This is from someone at a very well respected hospital in NYC (HSS). Why does the medical community seem to tell everyone to stop being athletic if they have a knee issue? Why aren't they recommending programs like KOT guy offers? This is the question that needs to be answered.

Dude I just had Achilles tendon surgery 2 months ago, the surgeon told me I could definitely do sports if I do the physio right. a friend of mine tore his this week , had surgery and the surgeon told him he should forget about doing sports ever again.

Hey Phil, how are things coming along for you? I was recently diagnosed with a thinning meniscus and told I should definitely stop squatting heavy below 90 degrees by two different doctors, and probably take it pretty easy with the weights in general. I was a bit shocked as I just had some light knee pain now and again with certain movements, but thought I should get it checked out, just in case. I was surprised and bummed to find out I have, at least currently, irreparable damage to my meniscus. Hopefully, someday soon, they'll find a way reliably repair cartiledge, but as far as I can tell, we're not there yet. I've been looking online, and HSS in NY seems like the most legitimate entity to claim to repair cartiledge in the knee. What do you think of them?You can find lots of stem cell transplant places, but it looks like there's no scientific evidence to back that up, and those clinics look dubious at best.

I'm a 71 year old woman who is a cycling Track athlete and in training for the World Masters Track Championships in September. I train on the Velodrome three times a week and road cycle 2 days a week. Lost October I was caving into knee replacement. I visited my Ortho surgeon and I told him I had a theory about my gait. He suggested I see a gait specialist and NOT HAVE the surgery. I did and my knee felt better, but not good enough to compete at a high level. I found KOT. I've only been doing it for two weeks and I actually can feel my legs and VOM getting stronger. I'm not expecting over night success, but I can see the benefits of these moves. TAKE IT SLOWLY, BE CONSISTENT AND KEEP IN FORM and this program maybe what you're looking for... I know it's working to build up my strength regardless and can do nothing but good. Each move comes with exceptionally clear instructions, the why and alternatives so you can improve. What have you got to loss except not getting stronger!

I've been through Ben's ATG Zero program basically twice at this point. Last March I could barely walk without my knee cap clicking, and getting massive IT band pain, had very little musculature in my glutes and quads. Now, my left leg is fully functional, I can support my weight and my musculature and flexibility is the best it has been, ever. I still have imbalances from my left to my right side, but that will correct over time. I've been to physical therapists, and their programs were honestly milktoast. I really didn't get any improvement after several months. After 6 weeks of Zero, I had seen more results then in 6 months of PT. Of course, you need to be mindful of your body's condition, and consult your physician before doing any physical activity. But if you're ready, the ability to start where you're at and progressively increase range and weight is pretty stunning. Good programs hit everything. My ankles have never felt stronger, and the back of my knees are thick with muscle now. I've never really had that before. Great video, and I appreciate you looking out for people. The ATG program was a life changer for me.

@@footLogic yea I am very familiar with McGill's work. He has a lot of solid concepts. But the research is also done on cadaver. Bird dogs are also a VERY low level exercise. Supermans and Jefferson curls are on either end of the spectrum of neutral spine. A bird dog would be in the middle. If you just train bird dog, you will only ever be prepared for the middle of the spectrum and when the task requires you to go outside the middle of the movement spectrum that's when something likely would go wrong.

@sportsrehabexperts 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! I think its so important to recognize this. Its also hard on social media to realize when someone displays very flexible or feats of strength. Its hard to appreciate how long that takes to develop. It also very possible that the person was naturally more flexible. Some people also pack on muscle much quicker then others. Genetics do play a role despite what influencers want you to believe that one exercise will make them more flexible or build a bigger muscle. A lot more nuanced then that!

You make great points, yesterday I did the ATG split squat and since I have pretty good mobility I could do it with the heel down without a step or anything so I overestimated my capabilities and loaded it (only 10kg). During the exercise I was fine, no pain, but a few hours after the workout I started feeling pain in my left knee (I had already had trouble with that one). The thing is, I had already done that same exercise with the same load the week before and didn´t have any problems. Maybe it was a combination of different factors. This was only yesterday though and the pain is already receding, so I'll keep in mind what you say in this video and not rush into it! Thanks!!

I also really like your approach and I'm going to check out your website because I've had a pain in the left side of my lower back for the last two years that I can't figure out how to resolve. It prevents me from doing kettlebell swings, which isn't a big deal, but I also occasionally feel it when I run and sprint.

This the most honest and thoughtful review of KOT I have come across. Hat off to you. It's a month I am about to sign off the KOT program because of my meniscus tear, and you have got exactly what has been keeping me in doubt. For instance the Jefferson curl, since I also have a lumbar protrusion. The good news is now you have convinced me that with the right approach and humility it is worth trying. Great job!

@sportsrehabexperts 3 жыл бұрын

I appreciate that! I was slow to come around to the Jefferson curl as well. I think knee over toe and full spine flexion are very similar in that we should not avoid them. However, I think the scalability of the knee over toe movement is much more friendly to adjust with pain. The Jefferson curl and spine flexion doesn't really have that adjustability to work through pain. So if you have pain, do the other movements and come back to the jefferson curl later. When doing the jefferson curl, no linger pain/discomfort should occur. Muscle workout stiffness is very possible, but that is very different then pain and does not linger as long. Important distinctions to make! Thanks for watching :)

Let me throw this here. I am 63 yrs old and play soccer professional for 8 yrs to cut short by knee injury. I never had surgery and decided to stop play and no even do therapy. I was 28 y old. During the years I begun to spend time to understanding my knee pain and created some exercises that was giving me comfort to a point to even play and coach. But the problem always was there. What i noticed that wheb i was consist doing the exercise i wad bending my knee more, however, i got scared to push forward or attempt to even do some exercises from the knee guy. Two months ago, i found one of his videos talking about walking backward. I do alot walking long distance about 2 to 3 hous once per week but never tough walking backward, i tryed for a month , i did on the beach pushing a bag of sand and on track field, on the second week i did walking first then stretching and tried one more of his exercises, wow! Almost 34 yrs that i couldn't bend my knee, i start to squat, i just blow me out. But you are 100% right, results is not going to hsppen just like that, need efforts, consistent to have the courage to face the pain, it will minimizes, but takes time. Also, as you mention, some people like me even being on my 63 yrs old, I was an athlete and my body still have all that flexibility and strength and i still athlete active on my exercises even not playing anymore. The knee over toe to me is legit, unfortunaly back then i didn't had no doctors or therapists to told me my problems could be fixed with exercises, other wise i had never quit play professional. I am not sign in his program as i explain, but as you also said, things takes time, and if you don't know your problem, consult a professional and he will help you to best select and coach you with the knee guy program step by step to be safe that you will going to get better. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm impress with his work and having recently experience a knee set back by doing a unplanned moves (Spontaneous move) I was looking for some information or exercises for improving my knee, from mussel pains. It has been 9 weeks from the incident and I took some times of to rest my knee and leg. I was constantly doing my regular routine every morning, my objective was trying to sit on my knee in, "Iaido seiza position." After 7 month of daily workout for one hour a day I have managed to feel comfortable in doing it successfully. All it took was to do a simple insignificant move (Single Pirouettes) normal for me, that a pain on the lateral epicondyle close to the patella suddenly I experienced a acute pain. It was a foolish move. Fortunately after a little wile I was able to walk and the pain went away, no redness or swelling but on and of, the pain kept on coming back at different places, and at different days of the week. each mussel on different days around the patella in the lower leg wear giving me discomfort and reduced my ability to move. I have continued Tai Chi movements occasionally with no problem but reduce the days of practice. Since the incident and taken time off to rest I feel ready to start again but a little hesitant fearing surprises. I know that if I start my regular routine on the floor will not be a problem, I will stop at the slightest discomfort but afraid of my knee if sitting in "Seiza position" I have not dared yet, it can be a challenge to start over again. It was coming along fine even if my quads wear not resting completely on my lower legs. What I find Interesting is as you said, "Been able to be consistent for a long period of time which I was and then take time of doing some thing else." The past 9 weeks I did take time of, reducing my movement, the knee feels better but I will be cautious this time and see how far can I go. I have a objective, Thank you.

Thanks for your unique perspective Greg. It was well said when you described the hesitancy many people will have due to the heavy emphasis in physical therapy is to avoid training your knees going over the toes, as well as the incredible movements he is capable of for his marketing purposes. It sounds like the only downside you see is that seeing the feats of extreme athleticism can give people the wrong idea and make them impatient to achieve those movements without building an incredible foundation first to do it safely and healthily. But, when adopting his training methods at the lowest level and patiently and consistently trying to progress slowly, those methods do not carry an inherent risk greater than any other training methods. Is that accurate? Btw I'm just thinking from a PT patient perspective, trying to minimize knee pain, not the extreme strength training and athleticism he demonstrates. Thanks again!

I have to say I was skeptical of kneesovertoesguy at first- seemed like too much KZfaq hype to be true but I can honestly say it’s working for me and I’m very surprised by how quickly. I’ve had 4 knee surgeries and have suffered through knee pain for many years- still doing what I love, but always nursing knee pain of one sort or another. I’ve done numerous PT programs- all of which have been helpful but the structure and specific of KOT is really great. I’m barely 2 weeks in to Zero and my knees feel better than they have in years. This is the real deal for me

Great analysis Doc! I have a question. I got liquid in my left shoulder from lifting something without a warmup and then continuing to put pressure on it with at home exercises for the next month. It's been more than a week since I stopped doing upper body exercises and I still can't put on a jacket properly (shoulder hurts when loading it with any sort of weight). Anything I can do to speed up my recovery?

@sportsrehabexperts 3 жыл бұрын

Loaded question, hard to answer in text format. But likely you have a loading issue to the rotator cuff or tissue of the shoulder in general.

@havardl4154 3 жыл бұрын

Great video! And thanks for reminding me off the importance of the loading regiment. I have been doing zero for 4 weeks now and gained a lot more mobility and knee ability in my injured knee (fully torn meniscus with surgery 2 years ago). The thing with my meniscus is that when it snapt, I sort of was not “working through pain”, I had a rotation with the knee bent, and it just snapped out off nowhere, sort of. So my question is; do you think I should be carefull with loading the ATG split squat with weights after 12 weeks of zero (3 times a week), even with no pain? I am considering just keep using the ATG squat as a warmup/mobility exercise with no weight and start loading the Bulgarian split squat again, so I do not risk my meniscus tearing again. Thoughts? Also, some links for the studies you talked about in the start of your video would be great to see, so I can check out the studies myself.

@sportsrehabexperts 3 жыл бұрын

Biggest factor will be the concept that this is a process! Bulgarian split squats are fine, but they are not the same as a standard split squat or ATG split squat. Do not push through the loading. No shame in elevating the foot on a box if that makes it more comfortable and gradually load through that ROM first before lowering to the floor. Or continue using upper body assist if doing the body weight version on zero. Or both upper body assist and foot elevated if necessary to make comfortable. As far as the research, its termed the "wrapping effect" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23821469/

The ACL has been fine, but the meniscus has alway been problematic, either inflammation, sometimes slipping, and grinding. Range of motion has also alway been limited. I’ve been watching the knees over toes guy and been wanting to integrate his program in my routine, but was curious as to the affect on someone with meniscus issues and how they play into the deep knee bends that some of those exercises, and motions do.

@sportsrehabexperts 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Ed, not sure how long its been in total. I know you said it was at 16 years old when it occurred. Biggest thing I would say is the meniscus was removed and the ACL was repaired. Meaning you could push the ACL more aggressively. With the meniscus removed, your cartilage and tissue can adapt which is the good news. However, it will not be a quick process but VERY gradual! Don't work through pain and load the range comfortable. But the volatility of the flair ups and sensitivity should reduce over time. Go into the idea with SLOW expectations.

I don't like forced stretches and feel you should be able to relax, breath, and be able to contract a muscle if asked while holding a stretch otherwise being to aggressive. Again he has A LOT of flexibility lol. Im sure some of that was developed over a long period of time because he makes it look easy.

What you’re saying about him not really addressing people with comorbidities is true , but he also talks about how the sled is the best tool to get you started whatever your size or weight, because you don’t directly bear the weight . He says some obese people start with a program and might try to do squatts and deadlifts in between cardio sessions which actually further compromises joints that are already dealing with their own body weight. The sled gets that circulation going in the ankles and knees and should be the foundation ( according to him) of any program. I personally think bike training at a low intensity ( zone 1 or 2) is a good option for overweight people. You can do it at home in front of the TV , you can’t really fall off the bike like you would outdoors and It can be done two or three times a week ( 20 or 30 minute sessions at first ). The advantage is you can track you HR to really know if you’re working at the right intensity. So the sled for the joints, ( it does work your cardio respiratory system also but the joints is the the real focus here)and the bike training for cardiovascular work. After a period of time the client can start implementing the easiest movements from his system .

Frequency of stretching is key early on post op ACL. Even at 3 months! You need to be doing something daily (even hourly in some instances) to progress ROM both loaded and with an active stretch. Because the frequency is so high, these will be lower intensity activities done as frequently as possible. Then higher intensities done less frequent 3-5x per week depending on how your body responds.
