I have arthritis on both of my knees, on one knee cap I’m already bone on bone. But I been training on my knees with these type of video information like this. It has given me the ability to do squats again. Practicing isometric squats holds, walking backward and this form of quad extension provides a very good arsenal for training my knee pain. I Believe there’s ways to combat knee problems and I refuse to let knee pain control my life. Just wanted say thanks for this type of information!

I'm 60+, formerly obese, had one meniscus repair, and plenty of knee pain. I have been practicing yoga for the past 7 years, gaining insane flexibility and strength. Then, along came deep squats and sissy squats. Holy crap - within a month, my knee issues are almost entirely gone. My quads have never been this strong. I stretch my arms behind myself during sissy squats, recruiting various oblique, lat, and thoracic muscles. It's almost unbelievable how different I feel. I also walk two miles daily. Last evening I noticed something for the first time. All my life, I have walked with loose knees. They would lock and unlock during full extension as part of my gait, adding to the stress and pain. During an uphill area, I noticed my newfound quads engaging, preventing the loosy-goosy full straightening action. I now realize that weak leg muscles result in extra stresses to the knee. Fully engaged quads put the patella in the right place, relieving pain and reducing wear and tear. With weak leg muscles, the joint bears the brunt of the walking motion. Keep doing what you're doing. Naysayers will complain that you are ruining people's knees. I am living proof that the opposite is true. Increasing leg strength is akin to finding the fountain of youth.

That initial sitting position with your legs tucked under your body and your butt sitting on the top of your calfs is called "seiza" in Japanese. When I started taking kendo back in 1998, I discovered that at the beginning and end of each class, we had to assume that position while facing the sensei to do a short formal salute/respect to the instructor. At the end of the class, we would sit in that position, close our eyes and put our finger tips together in a circular shape while meditating for short periods (usually about 30-60 seconds). I had the hardest time getting into and staying in that position because we Westerners don't sit in that position or ever use it. Put another way, it's not within our cultural wheelhouse. Meanwhile, the Japanese and other students from other Asian countries had NO problems sitting in that position for extended periods of time. After attending kendo classes, for awhile I got used to it and now I think nothing about sitting in that position for as long as 15 minutes.

I’ve tried all sorts of stretches and none seemed to work and I felt lost for what to do for a while, then I found a video about walking backwards upstairs and uphill.. this helped but only as a temporary fix and the issue would linger and start gnawing away again.. I tried this stretch here (realised instantaneously that I could barely lean back on my quads) I struggled for 5min back and forth then I walked around and tested my patella strain and the pain was completely gone. This stretch is going to become one I really focus a lot on this year, thank you so much!

I am 59 years old and from Germany. Briefly about my knee problem. For more than a year, my left knee has been swollen after dynamic stress (tennis, jogging) with considerable restriction of movement and pain even when walking. Medical examinations including MRI showed - no structural damage - Over the winter then conventional fitness training in the gym. result at the first tennis training again knee strongly swollen. Then special knee stabilization training with private trainer. Significant improvement, but still after light tennis training the knee was swollen. Then through KZfaq tried the knee over toes training. Result - sensational - no more swelling in the knee even after 1 hour of intense tennis training. I am thrilled and do in the eye only the exercises of B. Patrick. I would like to give one more type, I had considerable problems with the left knee (movement restriction) to go far down in the split squat. Between the split squats, simply incorporate the nordic harmsting exercise. After that it was possible for me to bend the left thigh almost to the calf!!!😀

For me the cure was very simple and effective: 1/4 squats with light weight. The exercise is a similar movement to your VMO single leg thing on a block or slant board-just a slight bend in the knee. It strengthened all the small stabilizers and connective tissue and fixed the problem immediately.

From a doc, it needs to be mentioned that many people with certain comorbidities of the lower extremity should not attempt this without guidance from a professional; too many to list. For some, these exercises can be very provocative and dangerous, creating exponential amounts of torque stress on the knee interfaces, meniscii, ligaments, patellar complex (especially with lateral or medial tracking issues). I see the potential, but proper, safe guidance is key to long term successful improvements here.

Howdy! My first viewing of your stuff as I was recommended to your page as I had a complete quad tendon rupture May 25, 2022 and surgery to repair it on the 29th of May. I've been diligent with my rehab so far and can see that in order for me to gain any more degrees of flexion (currently at 107 degree as measured this past Friday at PT) I'm a lifelong weight trainer (56 years old) and a student of mechanics. I have been at a loss for gaining more information on how to get more flexion and now I'm here, ready to learn more. Hope to gain a deeper understanding and more flexion. Thank you!

Jeff is on the Ido Portal/Emmet Louis/Kit Laughlin side of things and promote stretching, while Ben and his coach Keegan are on the Poliquin/Paul Chek kind of side and say that stretching is ineficient and that they don't promote it. While i believe that what Ben is promoting CAN be sufficient for the general population, i do still think it's not 'optimal' and that stretching is definitely up there as a priority. You can be strong or weak, but if your flexibility is uneven you will have aches and pains regardless of how strong you are.

I think feet outward may have been the issue. That would change how the knee join is aligned with the load. It took a while for me to get my ankle to flex flat under my body (like the Japanese tea sitting position) - the bottom of my feet would crap up hard - but after a summer of working at it, I could finally get my feet flat under me. From that point I was able to work on the movement in this video, which some call a "reverse nordic curl."
