i have general knee problems (a medial tendonopathy, and a ITBS issue on same knee). this leg i injured a year ago playing frisbee and it's been a slow road to get this leg as strong as my left leg. do you recommend what you show here and progressions like tapping the heel in front (instead of stepping down as you show), or holding the front leg's heel down isometrically? slant board squats (perhaps with light load), and knees-over-toes front lunges w/ front leg on slant board? these are all good to do right for this sort of thing? i do know i also need to work on glute med strength on right leg as well.
I am 70 years old and suffered with knee pain to the point where I had to crawl upstairs. I had seen an orthopedic surgeon and was booked for knee replacement surgery. I managed to avoid surgery by losing 51 pounds. The weight loss was enough to eliminate my pain and I'm now able to run upstairs! I would suggest that individuals who are struggling with weight issues attempt to lose weight, combined with the exercise which you've demonstrated. Even if that alone doesn't help them to avoid surgery, I imagine that it will make their pre- and post-operative recovery easier.
@@karma9395 I couldn't use a treadmill but for some reason, the stationary bike worked very well for me. From what I understand, weight loss is mostly about what you eat, not so much about exercise, although that is important.
@@thudson99 Thank you for the congrats! I also find it helpful to weigh myself every morning. I make a note of the date and what my weight is so I can see how it fluctuates. Also, I keep a written record of my exercise i.e. bike, weights. These are just suggestions that have worked for me. Of course, everyone is different. Apparently, for every pound that you're overweight, it's three pounds of pressure on your knees. Again, my thanks for the congrats! Best regards from Canada!
Hi there, I have a prostretch calf stretcher, would you still recommend I purchase a slant board? Also, can this board help my it band? I'm having numbness in this area. Thanks
@@AdamJStoryDC The “Sissy” squat as per another video. I don’t mean the Patrick step down that you showed. I do them. They’re great. But I’m referring to a regular two legged full squat on a slant board. The board tilt going down is in front of me.
Thankyou for your videos Doc. Can you tell me what can I do or take for my muscles in my legs and lower back . My body feel heavy like the muscles locking up when I stand up after sitting or laying down and sometimes I get muscle cramps. Don't know if I am lacking in some vitamins or minerals! I am very careful of my health and wants to be healthy forever 😊 I do not have any health issues besides this but sometimes digestion problem because I have no gallbladder! For this I take ACV the Braggs brand before a meal. Thankyou in advance!
@@AdamJStoryDC So is there any supplements that can help. My muscles became tight since I ran a 10K last year April and it just keep getting worse because everywhere was lockdown because current world issues. I tried excercises at home but I think I hurt my muscles since then!
@@NansGlobalKitchen If you're looking for a supplement to fix a tight muscle that has existed since last year in April, you are going to be sadly upset to find that you'll probably need someone to examine you to figure out what's wrong.
@@AdamJStoryDC Yeah, I was going to a Chiropratic Dr but he was concentrating only on my neck and shoulders instead of my sciatic nerve pain, or muscle pain. So I just started going to an accupunture doctor. I had one treatment so far. The irony in this is that my 2 children are Chiro doctors but they don't live in the same state as me. One is in Seattle with her own clinic and the other one is in Canada. They have been telling me of little excercises to do which helps a bit. But next day when I wake up its the same thing. I am icing the areas where I have these issues. The reason why I am asking about supplements is because I saw a Dr Axe talking about it and minerals and as well as tight muscles etc. My daughter said the same as you though. And she also said that I need to get regular adjustments and deep tissue massages. Thanks anyways for your reply
I’ve been intermittent fasting and my imflommation as not bothered me I’m due for a knee replacements in a few weeks what do u think is going on it’s the best thing that I’ve done since I’ve had the problem
Hi I have discovered Saturday that my entire knee cap is bruised and Idk what caused it. Should I be concerned. People think it needs to be drained. Are they right
Try the Poliquin step as well, it works great with my older clients
Great suggestion!
What helpt me, was sissy squats on slantboard and Nordics (hamstrings excercise) it allso improved my running.

I've got real stiff knees is it a nutrient deficiency? They can be sore some I am 59 years old..
Hi doc, any home DIY stuff we can use as replacement for this board? Thx.
Thank you short and sweet as always..could you help with some excersise for bow leg induced knee pain. 🙏
As I bend my knees my kneecaps turn inwards and are not over my feet as in you demonstrated. What do I do and is there an underlying issue.
It's a great humanitarian job.
Always give good advises thank you so much Doctor Story .🥇🥇🥇

How did you loose weight because due to the pain, one can't exercises

Eat less calories.
@@lovesmusic36 the bicycling is non weight bearing just like swimming. That’s the reason. Congratulations on your success!!

Thank you so much sir for this best effort.

Does this help with IT band issues?
So nice informative video sir
Thanks and welcome
Thank you!
You're welcome!

Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
@@AdamJStoryDC Dr. Story, what about the squats on the slant board? What is your advice?
I was showing one leg squats. You're talking about doing it with both legs at the same time...less stressful.

Sissy squats aren't for sissies. Are you sure you can do them? Watch Tom Platz do them.
Please keep it up
Great video!! Where can I find the ankle weight exercise?
At the end of the video
Thanks for the vid what is this exercise called?
Eccentric contraction.

You can't take pills to make muscles stronger (other than steriods...and those don't work unless you work out).

@@NansGlobalKitchen No problem
I’ve been intermittent fasting and my imflommation as not bothered me I’m due for a knee replacements in a few weeks what do u think is going on it’s the best thing that I’ve done since I’ve had the problem
Keep intermittent fasting. You're doing great!!!!!
what fasting-protocol did you use for the inflammation to go down? (16:8?) Any special diet?
What's the difference between doing this step-down exercise on a slant board vs on a normal raised (6 inch) flat platform?
The angle puts more emphasis on the quadricep tendon. If you try both, you can tell a difference.
Hoka shoes have improved my knee pain significantly.
Great shoes!
I have this board and have been doing these..I have chondromalacia petella bit for some reason it makes my pain worse??? Ideas?
It's not for that condition. This is best for tendon problems. Watch this instead: ruclips.net/video/VuIYGwDAveI/видео.html
Yes saw that as well..ty..I do that as well
Worth trying
Thanks I really am extreme pain
Hi I have discovered Saturday that my entire knee cap is bruised and Idk what caused it. Should I be concerned. People think it needs to be drained. Are they right
Maybe
@@AdamJStoryDC that’s what I was afraid of. What’s the recovery time from it
@@hopebarnes9222 I wouldn’t know, I haven’t examined you. That’s why I said maybe
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Great exercise...love the tan lines 😂
Glad you like them!
Interesting. You are only working the eccentric phase right?
Yep
Cannot see because the subtitles in the way
Turn them off.
@@AdamJStoryDC haha
Please cover the Asian squat
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/nI2zS4T4-Ac/видео.html
Atleast give credit to knees over toes guy.
This wasn't invented by him. It existed before him.
You are really silently serving people's in your way
Hello, we also do board, are you interested in cooperation? Looking forward to your reply
