Only a pleasure! There 2 other videos so far on it as well if you want to watch those for more rehab ideas?

When should these exercises be done? After the bursitis is healed?

I had a TKA 8 weeks ago and struggling with this pain as well, bummed to read you struggled with it for 3 years! Do you know what caused it and what did you do to resolve it??

@@amandahale5412 I persevered for 4 months with a biokineticist, and did a lot of exercises with him, along with a lot of self massage. I'm really happy to say it has now reserved. I wish you A speedy recovery from this very painful condition.

And the clam shell too!

Thank you for the explanation of the problem which is clearly what I have. And these wonderful exercises will be sure to help. I’ll let you know.

Only a pleasure! So glad I could help! Try the exercises in the rehab series I'm doing now. I'm sure they will help you. Second and third video in the rehab series still to come. Work on the exercises from the first video this week!

NDSAIDs - Dr Gundry labels them as Hand Grenades in your gut ...Ice works really well and maybe transcutaneous agents would help ...they are OTC as well.

How have you been?

Thanks so much! so glad it was useful!

I'm so glad it was helpful! Give me a shout if you need any more help!

Thanks so much!:) hope it was helpful!

Only a pleasure! I'm sorry to hear you haven't been coming right.. have you done any rehab exercises up until now? What did your physio say was the reason behind the development of the bursitis?

@@triphysio9603 Hi Amanda. Yes I have some rehab exercises but I never really felt them in my glutes. Whereas your exercises I can feel it working my glutes. The physio said the cause of my bursitis is my glutes aren’t working hard enough and therefore the muscles in the thigh is working too hard placing strain on the bursa

Thank you for the information on how treat knee pain. I am an aged female. I would appreciate if I could receive or order a booklet on the exercises you demonstrated.Thank you so much.

I hope it was helpful. Let me know if you need more advice! And feel free to hit that subscribe button for more videos like that in the future!

Only a pleasure! Thanks for the positive feedback 😊

Thanks for your comment! Yes, very interesting that that is what caused it! Your hamstrings may be very shortened already, and the prolonged sitting may have aggravated that to the point of compression of the bursa!

@@triphysio9603 why does that specific cream help this condition? I have some in a drawer. I also have magnesium oil would that help either the bursa directly or better for the three muscles instead? Since magnesium helps spasms would it help at all or no? I take “fortified multi collagen protein” by LEVELUP, cayenne, cod liver oil and turmeric but they dont seem to touch the pain/inflammation. I dont have any noticeable swelling. I have celebrex in a drawer as well, does that need to build up for a few days in order for it to be effective or can I take it on specific days that I know I will be pushing my body harder for the same effect? I ask because I try to limit taking medications.

@@diver4life79 It probably makes sense to "prepare" your body for the specific days with stretching. I have this specific knee pain very often for at least 10 years and just found out about these specific muscles. During the worst times I had to sleep with a pillow between the knees etc. I also used Diclofenac cream (keeping it in the fridge). It just helps against the pain by cooling and absorption in to the tissue. since used locally I think you can use it without worrying so much about it, but better ask a doctor about this. The most important part will be exercises for strengthening and lengthening the muscles like described in the video. Just a little bit every day over a long time and I am sure you can be pain free. In general one of the best exercises for strengthening the knee is simple backwards walking. But this is more of a general tip and not for this specific cause of pain. Good luck on your journey to healthy knees.

Thanks so much! Hope it helped:)

Only a pleasure! And thanks for the feedback😊

Thank you so much. This has been my problem. I also have been vibrating my whole leg with a homedic vibrater. That has helped the blood flow to the sore areas and loosen the tight muscles and tendons.

Awesome! Thankyou! Do you have Pes Anserine Bursitis?

I'm glad to hear you have found something that's helped. Have you done any rehab exercises for it?

Only a pleasure! I hope it was helpful!

@@triphysio9603 Do you think that the yoga stance 'half supine hero' hits the sartorius? I am nowhere near finishing that stance and was wondering if it is a good exercise for pes anserine bursitis problems.

Only a pleasure!

You should probably ask a doctor first and do some PT in person if you're afraid. I've had both knees repaired for torn meniscus, was doing well and then broke an ankle. I have knee bursitis now for 10 months after the broken ankle. Wore the tall boot for 4 months and it affected the opposite knee a lot as I was walking with a lot of pressure leaning on the opposite leg. I didn't do the stretching and PT exercises like I should have and it's still painful. I'm an avid hiker so it's affected me considerably. It goes away some then returns when I walk more than a couple miles. It still got warm in the bursae area and more painful so I realized I had to do what I should have back then. I think you need to start stretching it some, it will keep get tighter and more painful if you don't. Don't do exercises till it's painful, just stretch to get them elongated and then do strengthening after some time, but ask PT expert or research to see when. Your body will tell you if it's too much. After a year you most certainly are way past being ready to do stretches, it's way past time if you still have inflammation and pain. You don't want this to affect your life for years. Don't let the idea that it's not good to stretch 'if you still have pain', stop you. Stretching will help you. Don't walk too much, just enough to get warmed up, 10 mins or so, then do stretches. Gradually get into strengthening after a couple weeks. Discomfort with stretching is okay, pain is not.

@@cln87 Thank you so much for your response. The pain comes and goes and like you its after i've walked for a bit or walked on uneven ground. I've been to the doc and have had xrays, an mri and sonogram of the area and they don't see what could be the problem. I was told that my knee pain is from low cartilage that wore away over time and this is after he told me he doesn't see anything in the mri or xrays. Before my accident I had no knee pain at all so I was skeptical of that. He didn't mention bursitis at all. I was supposed to do PT but I felt like the doc I saw brushed off my concerns and since the PT is done in his office I felt like he ordered it just because. I started doing some stretches and will continue. We are doing a road trip soon to some national parks so i'm trying to get myself prepared for a lot of walking. To be honest i've been stretching for 3 days, taped all day yesterday and i'm already feeling a difference in the area.

Hi Debbie. Have you been to a physio for a proper one on one assessment? If not, I would highly recommend that you do that. It doesn't altogether sound like you have pes anserine bursitis, I think you may have MCL (medical collateral ligament/medial meniscus) involvement. Hard to say without assessing you, so maybe dont start on these exercises until you have been given a clear diagnosis and plan for treatment! Hope this helps

@@triphysio9603 thank you so much for your response. I haven’t started the exercises, just some stretching and taping. The taping has helped so so much! I will look into going to a physio soon!

I hope these exercises and the taping technique helped!

Awesome! Thanks so much! More videos on Pes Anserine Syndrome coming out today:)

@@triphysio9603 Thank you, I will give this taping a go, am a martial sport player. sometimes I feel a charp pain in my left knees while climbing road or mountain. I have this condition from doing bad exercise in my first session at the musculation gym with a bad coatch two years ago.
