ABOUT THIS VIDEO
It can seem like knee pain comes from old age and arthritis. Active adults often fall victim to this mental trap and think there's nothing you can do to prevent knee pain. The truth is you can prevent and fix knee pain if you train your knees properly. This will require you to vary your training and activities so you give your lower body a wide range of challenges. You need to train your hips, knees, ankles, and feet to have full range of motion and strength through a full range of motion (i.e. strength at every length)!

Hello hello friend!! I’ve been teaching Pilates for over 15 years on machine reformer. I have to agree with everything you say. It is what I’ve been trying to get across to my clients. Yes the muscles are getting flabby yes you are getting older but pumping those muscles is not the solution. I try to use a full stretching method and work to build muscles as you described. Thank you. I will continue to watch your videos and share them with my clients. Thank you again you are a shining so star. Light the way!

This video is amazingly good advice. I was diagnosed over 15 years ago with bone on bone arthritis in my knees and had the most awful knee pain and stiffness, etc... The only options I was given was Glucosamine and chondroitin and/or surgery. I decided to take control then and there. Long story short, I drastically changed my diet, and built strength and flexibility in my legs. Today, at 67, not only am I an avid dancer, but I also do Parkour almost daily. So, two activities which will help you: dance (practice multiple styles of dance) and Parkour. Parkour includes quadrupedal movement, which is one of the best full body workouts you will find for knees, arms, joints, back, shoulders, etc... But, whatever you choose to do, do something! And follow this advice. It is golden.

What did you do? I am 54 with knees that are not quite painful but often very very stiff in fact I wake up extremely stiff all over and it makes me want to avoid doing things I need to be doing. I did start lifting heavy weights a couple years ago and that helped and I feel better right after and I'm stronger but I still end up very stiff the other days. I have a desk job

@SwingingInTheHood Жыл бұрын

@@doumkatekz My knees get stiff after sitting for a long period of time also. Don't know what to do about that. However, in general, I'm pretty flexible and rarely experience knee pain anymore. Things I did: I reduced my sugar intake, increased fruit and vegetables, worked on strengthening the leg muscles while also working on increasing flexibility (quads, calves, IT bands, etc...), heel pads in shoes, practiced squatting more (also helps strengthen legs). I think the advice in this video is very, very good. Get and stay active. Get your knees used to bending -- just don't overuse them. For example, I do a lot of jumping in Parkour, but I've trained myself to always land on my toes first, always bend my knees and always absorb as much of the impact as I can in my legs. So, train your body to do the things you need to do, not avoid them. It will be uncomfortable at first, but over time, your body will adapt. Go at your own pace, don't overdo it. You'll be amazed at what you are capable of down the line.

After watching a few videos on this channel, I just want to say that there's something so magical about the way you frame exercising. This mindset you cultivate of movement as an every day, achievable activity that only causes slight discomfort has made the whole idea of exercising every day feel really, really manageable. For such a long time, I have struggled with regularly exercising, going through unhealthy cycles of overdoing it and then hurting myself and swearing off exercising until a few months later, when I way overdo it again. Lately, I've been trying to break this cycle and focusing on finding joyful movement each day, whether that's going for a jog listening to my favorite podcast or playing with my friend's dog. Your videos are now playing a part in helping me break that cycle, and retain my flexibility as I age!

Dear Matt, I quit tai chi because my knees were starting to hurt. My doctor took an xray and had me move about while he peered at my knees. No arthritis. The problem was that my muscles were so tense and stiff they were actually pulling/twisting my knees out of joint. After a mere week of doing a heel to bum stretch regularly my knees stopped hurting. Since then I have learned much else (a great deal from you) and have had to deal with all kinds of issues. But I pay attention to my muscles.

How true, moving in a bent knee position, as in tai chi, and falling to stretch to counter the shortened thigh muscle can give you knee problems, foam roller on the thighs helps.

I've never heard someone state it quite like this, thanks! I've struggled with knee problems for years. Specifically while hiking on uneven terrain and downhill my meniscus area gets sore, swells, and then I lose range of motion and the ability to maintain strength while bent. I've spent thousands on physio trying to fix it and nothing has really helped. Definitely going to think about the ideas in this video, though, in my case I am in the climbing gym at 3-4 times per week which I'd argue is one of the only sports that one could say actually trains the full range of motion in a dynamic and non-repetitive way. I've never considered trying to apply strength while stretching though, that is an interesting idea which I will give a try. My physio has never suggested it but it makes sense.

I also do seiza, horse stance, joint rotations, side-foot walking, toe raises, step downs, tibia raises, hacky sack, and a few passive stretches. I just think of all the ways my joints and muscles can move. I don't do all of this on any given day or even necessarily any given week, but I do most of it on a regular basis throughout a month.

You refer (many times) to muscles and their (lack of) length. I know you have a history of studying Ida Rolf and her therapy called Rolfing. In her book on Rolfing, she has this most important statement "The length of ANY muscle in your body indicates its POTENTIAL STRENGTH and the distance thru which it can move the related body parts." Rolf also points out that as we age, we naturally shorten VERTICALLY and lengthen HORIZONTALLY! Basically, as we move thru life, we are losing CRITICAL LENGTH across the many joints in our bodies...which will sadly manifest in many nagging pains across those joints!

Its if my knees wasn't even there . they would just give out . at 7 years old or so . growing up , yes I played sports , baseball was my fav , but I was never a good runner , I played short stop , because I didn't have to run very far , I had a great side arm throw , but again I couldn't run . If I did run , I would be in pain . being in foster care since I was 7 years old , no one ever told me why , I had bad knees , or even cared . the weird part about it , ridding a bike never bothered me , but running did . fast forward to today , when to the knee Dr , again , just to have him tell me that I need the knee shots again , every 6 to 9 months , I get the 3 shots .I call it . no offense to you , your a nice guy , and you seem to know your stuff , but how is it my fault , that I have bad knees , since I had bad knees since I was a little kid ? I also had 2 neck fusions c3 to t1 .do to a fall on ice backwards , but that's a different story . I am a retired 56 years old 215 pounds 5'5 white male . why I went back to the knee Dr , is because about 3 months ago , walking around Walmart with my wife , like we always do , I got shooting sharp pain in my knees , I mean sharp . I always have some kind knee pain in both knees , but not like that , I could barely walk . the pain went away around a week later , that's why I saw my knee Dr . any clue what I can do for my knees besides getting the 3 knee shots in both knees again ???

@dennisrobinson8008 Жыл бұрын

"coordination" improves greatly with an increase in physical strength. Having a high strength to weight ratio means you can control that weight much easier. Add in flexibility and range of motion. Your pessimistic mindset which gets to be "CORRECT" a majority of the time is your greatest limiter. Pessimism is a form of an affirmation, where you intentionally say you can't or limit yourself so that you can be "right" a majority of the time. SO you tell yourself you "can't", you and you literally can't because that's your self imposed limit. Growth requires failure and correction. So the question is how do you get from point "A" to point "B", what is all required and what are the steps?

Hi! Great video! I wonder what you think of BJJ in this context? Since I asked about BJJ - would you consider a video on BJJ impact on joints and muscles and so on? Thanks

I've had many friends who do BJJ. From what I can tell, it's still not a perfect all-around way to maintain knee or hip strength. There is a great variety of movements, but like any sport, it doesn't necessarily maintain good mobility and strength. In the heat of battle, you're gonna use what range and strength you have. Constant repetition is highly likely to reduce available range UNLESS you're also specifically training to maintain or expand range and strength outside of your roll sessions I talk about some considerations for other sports that apply to BJJ as well here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrp3d5l43cmnnI0.html Also, one of my good friends has done BJJ for a looooong time, and only in the last two-ish years did he start working on his hip and shoulder mobility to great effect. His flexibility was horrendous by any measure, but he was able to use his other physical and mental gifts to make up for the poor flexibility while rolling. I'll see if I can talk with him about video ideas in the future. I have VERY limited BJJ eexperience, so I wouldn't feel too confident about a video at the moment!

Weird observation about the primal squat. If I do the primal squat and hold it, then stand up quickly I don't get faint. But if I sit and do the same thing I DO get faint. Bodies are weird.

I have been suffering knee pain for 4 years due to sport injury of patellar dislocation. The injury happen 4 years ago when I am training for Taekwondo. I still do Taekwondo now. This video make me know the reason of my injury and knee pain. I think I overtrain the same muscles by doing too many kicking. I've been active in Taekwondo since primary school, now I am in college. Maybe I need to strengthen my VMO, do you think so? What do you suggest sir?

Joint pain is a sign of systemic inflammation, proper exercise is important but won't fix a bad diet.

So is surgery for a knee replacement unnecessary?

Hi Matt! Great content, Great personality and I enjoy your sense of humor. Do I need a lot of your kid's toys to help with many of your exercises? I have tried a lot of your exercises, continued with some and especially the Asian Squat. You talk a lot about over using biceps without equal use of opposite muscles. Do you have a video that addresses specific arm exercises that I can use? If not, can you create a video. I made a Paypal donation this evening(eventors). Keep up the great work. I am 74 and trying to keep my body in good shape. My Jack Russell has me walking him 4miles a day, but I need a lot of upper body work.

Matt, got any ideas for getting my left arm & hand functioning better? I broke my arm in mid March, 2021. Had surgery with a titanium plate and screws [made of a different metal]. It is healed but my hand and fingers are stiff. I can move them but tend to drop things because grip range is limited. Left shoulder is less mobile, as well. I also get swelling on left side, only, of my whole body since this break whenever I'm tired/ate something inflammatory/didn't exercise/didn't sleep well, etc. I'm wondering if it's the metals. How much of a deal is it to get it out? Doctors are not that keen to take it out ["it's another surgery".."we don't do that if we can help it"]. I'm 65 and can only think doctors' reluctance to take it out will only increase as I age.

I would suggest no more surgery! Keep exercising the arm, and left side of the body with gentle stretching including the connective tissue fascia. Of course continue with full body stretching and AROM ( active range of motion) as you equally balance, strengthen and lengthen all your muscles. Don't give up, keep working with your body, be gentle with yourself and have faith in your ability to heal! 😉🙏🌈❤

@@patricia753 Thanks for that. The original surgery was essential to set the bones so I could heal. Doc had to pull all the tendons up from where they'd slid down my arm and reattach them. Main bone break had to be bolted together to hold it to heal. But now, I think the metal still in there needs to come out.

@patricia753 Жыл бұрын

@@constancemartin933 Hi Constance, I dont know how common the request is, to have the hardware removed, after the bone has set? If it were me, I think I would leave it alone, unless, I was having an obvious reaction to the metal or some significant complication. The less messing with the integrity of the body, and the most conservative holistic approach is in my opinion, always the best. I think the body knows how to heal itself better than our finite minds know. I would stick with gentle exercise, stretching, gentle tendon gliding movements of the full upper extremities ( lower too, why not ), maybe some massage to release stuck fascia or scare tissue, water exercises with natural resistance and less stress to joints. Keep at it, you're only a little over a year out of surgery, I would think that if you continue with a regular daily routine, you will continue to see improvement. Good luck, and God Bless 🌈💪🙏.
