Injured my knee from biking uphill from work every day and it’s been getting worse and worse from just walking (knee has been injured for months) I’m gonna start doing these every day, hope they help!

I used to shin splints on my right shin. After using the stick for a week, no longer had shin splints😊

You are retired because collectively socially we accepted that you physically or mentally are not able to function properly or work properly. So in opposite you should be punished differently then able people.

Thank you

I am trying this stretches but feel zero to no stretch. My hips are my tightest area and I’m struggling to find hip stretches that work for me

Rhomboid pain killing me

How would you incorporate this into a running schedule? Should you do this on hard days or easy days? If running in the evening , should you do this first thing the morning or after the evening run?

Dude that shit tickles, is that normative?

When I was clinically determined to have plantar fasciitis this past year, my doctor never brought up this particular disorder can be cured at home. He basically brought up medicines, podiatrist referrals, and special orthotics. Thankfully, I learned about this plantar fasciitis remedy , Sαnzoka Mula (Go ogle it), which allowed me to acquire the excellent results without having to invest in expensive medicines.

*Serratus Anterior push up😂😂 Come on now

Thankyou I’m a new runner this helped a lot

How long do you use it for? How hard do you push? Is there anything you shouldn’t do? These are questions that are typically answered during a ‘how to’ video.

great mental health tips!!

Good stuff Dr.Ted. I moved to India permanently. Hope you remember me.. Prakash from Jersey.. stay safe ..

i did a large volume of push ups and my upper back felt a little sore the next morning

Would you recommend doing this some days and stretching on other days?

This is wrong, you are doing serratus anterior push-up at a very light motion. To do rhomboid you must pull.Origin is in spine, and insertion is in spine of scapula which is pulling shoulder blade back thus the arm back- serratus is opposite, see here, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9qclthysLrWYY0.html

Plantar fasciitis is a killer. I am in an ocurrence of it right now. I never thought there would be a hotspot in my lower leg but there sure is. Thanks for the tips, doc. Appreciate it.

This is a scapula push up meant primarily to strengthen the serratus anterior. Rhomboids work opposite of the function of the serratus anterior. You'll need to be pulling to exercise the rhomboids

спасибо.

Ted, thanks for demonstrating your technique! Since you helped tremendously with my artificial knee pain I am expecting great results with my plantar fasciitis. I'll keep you posted. Ed

This stretch is amazing. Thanks for these posts. They are very helpful

awesome video. can you post more recent videos!

great vid. thanks for making this.

These exercises really do work. They helped me three years ago and just the other day I recommended this video to my sister when her knee started to both her. Thanks again!!

Great video Ted. I am finding it goes away, but when running again the mild niggle comes back. I do feel a slight niggle doing the leg extensions with no weights. Is this acceptable or should I leave off the leg extensions for now. I have had this on and off since June this year. Thanks.

Thank you for the video. Can you do another video demonstrating other exercises that can be done with the Foot ROCKER?

Great Video Doc!!! keep helping out the people in Philadelphia. See you at a future expo!!

I was having some pain in my knee for over a year during and after running and I was considering stopping running. I found this clip several months ago and after performing this stretch routine for about 2 weeks the pain went away and thanks to you I finished last Friday the full marathon in Jerusalem in under 4 hours. Thank you so much !!! 

Hi ! although I don't know exactly what youre doing in the Pilates class, I would recommend swim only for the first 7-10 days, plus these exercises. If you're feeling 75% better, you can start mixing in some Pilates and maybe some higher-impact exercises. Keep doing the exercises until the knee pain is 90% better! good luck

Hi - sorry for not getting back sooner - hope the knee is getting better If you haven't already, I would startt running SLOWLY, giving at least one, or maybe two days of rest between runs. Ice for 15 min after each run and keep doing the exercises - hope I've helped a bit, keep me posted!

Dr Ted, thank you so much for this video. I have tendonitis in both my knees for almost four months. I am doing some exercises my therapist recommended, but I really like these. I have been doing pilates for the past week, but I am not sure if it is the best type of exercise because of my knee condition (pilates involves a lot of bending knees, etc). I also swim. Do you recommend just swimming and doing these for about 10 days, or should I keep doing pilates? Thanks so much again! Pamela

Hi Dr Ted could you please answer this question? I have not run now for 11 days due to runners knee, I started your exercises about 5 days ago (knee still aches a little) but I was wondering whether I can still run? does it make the injury worse or as I am gradually strengthening my leg muscles do you think it wont do any harm? Many thanks for your help so far. Cheers Paul

Thanks. I hope this will help me cuz im getting frustrated. Im do jkd/mma and with knee i have i can not do anything. I hope these excersises will help me.

Thank you for the info. I have this problem as the last 4 months. There was even one time I couldnt stand on my leg. Went to a hospital and they wanted to do a meniscus surgery. After having a second opinion they said it wasnt a meniscustear. Now im at a fysiotherepust and he says stretching my leg will do nothing, I should do legpressures with and should do little jumps on one place and should straighten my back more. Im confused now. I dont feel he s helping me, cuz the pain is still there.

Yeah. You are right. He is just moving the rhomboid but not exercising it. Doctor? Ten hours of instruction as chiro and one gets a Doctor degree?

Both

VERY NICE

thank you so much i needed that info

Dr Loos first off thanks for all the great videos. I have been battling runners knee on and off for 5 years now. I have been in the Army for 16 years and Physical therapy in the Army is not where it should be. For the last two months my runners knee has come back and have been doing all your exercises for runners knee two times a day. I was wondering what your thoughts are on straps for runners knee and IT band strap? I was looking at two made by PRO-TEC and giving them a go. Once again thanks.

I have had dull ache in tibia just under and to the outside of the knee since Feb. For the most part, it doesn't bother me though I feel it more at the end of long runs or speedwork. Also, after a run for a day or so it hurts to go down stairs and i scream if I put pressure on it or kneel on that area. Could this, too, be runner's knee? Great video-I'll start doing these exercises.

I wanna add one more thing, you have got to pull, not pushing.

Here rhomboid is working as antagonist. you are using deltoids and pectorals plus triceps. the thing you are doing is thinking that 'triceps is working while you are doing biceps curl' triceps only extends. And lastly your rhomboid is not gonna work efficiently coz while it looks like squeezed, it is due to gravital force. At the same time, youve got kinda developed rhomboid, you are showing that you can squeeze them. nothing more.

it has been 12weeks of rest started playing back tuesday...but i still have pain when i apply pressure to tendon...what should i do should stop and w8 another 12weeks....i dont know what to do cus the season is going to start in october...and i miss a lot of practice already.......help me pls

will biking make runners knee worse?

should this be done before or after a workout?

Runners Knee and Jumpers Knee are almost interchangeable terms - they both refer to patellar tendon irritation. Try these exercises, ICE, & rest for a week or so. That is the best I can do via youtube...

Oh man - No WAY! I could have taken great care of you back here in the Boro...oh well. Ice, rest, and try these exercises. Memorial Day is a good few weeks away - hopefully you can recover by then. Check out the rest of my vids. Master the simple squat and keep the hamstrings as flexible as possible! Stop & visit next time you're in town

Back in January I began having knee issues on my right knee. My doctor said it was jumpers knee, but I get the ache/irritating feeling when I have my leg bent at a 90 degree angle especially when sitting in the back of a car for long periods of time. Doing research it seems I may have runners knee instead. Does this seem logical? I also have an ache when going up or down stairs or squatting.

So I find myself searching help on youtube and find this video. Ironicall I moved to Chicago last year and and from good ol 19128. I drove by your practice all the time and never went in. I am going to try these exercises, ICE and pray for the best. I have a 10 mile Memorial Day weekend, sprint tri on 6/10, 1/2 marathon and an olympic tri at the end of August....I just want to workout again!!!
