I like this style of video where you spend the full time doing each exercise. That way I can follow along. It's also great that you explain the nuances to get more out of the stretches and exercises.
Whenever I feel an injury coming up (i am a runner) I always go straight to you Dr Jo. It is always the right therapy and get to the injured spot straight away. Thank you for all the excellent content you put online!
You are quickly becoming my at-home therapist. Thank you for another great video. I remember these exercises from therapy 8 yrs ago. This is a great refresher for perfect form. Have a great week.
Hi Dr..I AM from India. Yr videos are very good. Thankyou for being our at home physiotherapist ☺.I suffer from polyarthirist. Can you pl make a video that includes all joints, especially fingers elbow and shoulder?I watch yr videos related to these joints but it takes a lot of time. So if there is a video covering all, it will be really helpful for people like me.
Thank you very much, Dr Jo! I have had knee pain for a week after sitting on my heels for 15 minutes or so last week, and I've had instant relief from doing these exercises! You're the first person I go to whenever I'm needing rehab exercises for aches or pains, and I appreciate what you share so much ❤
Day by day your changing my life for the better. It's like a relationship with none of the hassle. My physical health is improving and that's improving my mental health and I sleep better and feel better.....thanks Dr jo. Gourdon Aberdeenshire Scotland!
Thanks for your help, I had ACL sx 7 mos ago from kickboxing injury. I am recovery well but have knee pain the more activity I do. These stretches worked great for me and you are very thorough in your sessions. Thanks!
Been watching your videos for a long time and this video just literally took away my knee pain after doing my ankle stretches! Love love love your content. A must before doing workouts if you have any injury or just a history of injuries like I do. Doctor Jo has us covered!!! 👏❤️
Thank you Dr Jo for teaching us simple exercises that yield great results. I was just recently diagnosed with left knee osteoarthritis at 68. I have Googled a lot all about arthritis, treatment, and rehab. My PT will start tomorrow. But I'll make sure to do your exercises at home. God bless from the 🇵🇭 Philippines.
Hi Dr. Jo, just found your videos and subscribed. I have a knee cap problem. If I walk 30 minutes or more, the next day my knee feels swollen inside. It hurts and can’t do anymore walking. Thank you for these exercises, will do them and hope they help, so I can go back walking again 😊.
Seriously thank you so much! Skating + lifting boxes at work have destroyed my knees and I'm only 22 :( but this helped so much! I'll be sure to be doing these daily, can you recommend foods for knee health?
Hi Dr Joe, when I'm lying down doing the right raise leg exercise, I feel little pain at the back of my waist. Is this normal? Can I continue with the exercise? Tq
Morning I did the stretch bands for my ANKLE... WHEN I finished work it's painful.. Ive had the ankle injection.. It not really helped... And the hospital doctor. Said they not that far advanced to do surgery on my ankle joints... I keep exercise... Thanks doctor Jo
Hi Dr. I like your videos as it allows me to do some of the stretches safely without hurting myself compare to physio app. Thank you for your dedication.
Hi Dr. Jo, will any of these help reduce pain and swelling on my knee? I sat cross legged in bed for a few hours while working, and my left knee has been painful and swollen ever since (over two months now)
Yes. There should be some in my chair stretching videos. You can find all my videos on my channel: ruclips.net/user/askdoctorjo, and you can use the search tool (the magnifying glass) under the banner on the right side to find specific videos/topics.
I have several videos for knee pain, and depending on which ligament, I have some specific ones for that too. You can find them on my channel: ruclips.net/user/askdoctorjo
It depends on what stage of recovery you are in and how your body reacts to treatment, but in general, therapeutic exercises can be done 1-3 times a day, every day.
Mem plz give suggestion and exercises, I have spine injury d12 and L1 compression, that day to go today I don't walk properly but slow walk in home with stick and wall, week ness my right leg andcalf muscles to foot drop, plz give me suggestion.
Dr. Jo...I have been suffering from this know pain for the past one year. I am a very active person.I have noticed that my knee pain reduces once I do Therese exercise but Teddy return back in the morning. How long will it take to become better?
It really depends on what exactly is going on. Do you have a specific diagnosis? If not, it might be worth going to physical therapy to find out for sure what is going on.
I just started watching these videos for the first time due to my knees starting to ache. I have been doing a lot of speed walking and this is the first time that my knees are complaining. I am hoping that stretching and strengthening will fix the problem. I have a question for Dr. Jo. Does it make more sense to do the leg stretches before or after I walk?
hey doctor jo, I would really like to know how long it generally takes to fully get rid of Osgood slaughters disease or tendinitis in knees. I'm 20 years old, I was diagnosed maybe in junior high during basketball season (I played almost every other sport as well). I was told I would grow out of it, there's still symptoms about 6-8 years later. how long do you personally think it will take to completely get rid of it?
AskDoctorJo No ma'am not lately. I just started maybe, 3-4 days ago. a few years back when I played high school football, I stretched and iced multiple times a day. But nothing on a consistent basis since around that time.
Thank you. It's been one week. I ran a mile yesterday, I have pain directly above my knee and below my knee close to my ankles and shin. no legitimate knee pain at all. is this a serious issue or just soreness? I have not ran or worked out consistently since Senior year. about 2 years ago. nobody has given me any solid advice or information. I'm just told that I'll grow out of it by family. I appreciate the help, and information within the videos. my knees have never felt better.
Hi Doctor Jo. I injured my left knee when I tripped over my rowing machine. (Fred Astaire I am not.😕) I fell and my left knee hit a concrete floor. I had an X-ray and I had an orthopedic doctor examine my knee. He said I have a deep bone bruise on the left side of my left knee cap. Nothing broken or torn. He said it can take 3-4 months to completely heal. He also said stretching is not a problem as long as there is no pain. This video has been a great help. My knee feels a lot better after doing these stretches. Do you have other videos you can recommend?
Ouch! That sounds like no fun. This one probably has similar stretches, but it has the patella mobs (I don't think the above video has those) ruclips.net/video/aqkndmrDoCw/видео.html
AskDoctorJo I also purchased a Womfy pillow that you are using in this video. Great pillow! I sleep great! My cat Bradley used to join me on my old pillow when I woke up. He hasn’t quite figured out this new pillow yet. 😾
Hi Doctor Jo 😊 My question is, What is the difference between mobility and flexibility? Are both terms basically the same? Or does mobility apply to joints and flexibility apply to muscles? Can someone be flexible and not mobile or mobile and not flexible? Thanks.
Yes, generally, the term mobility is more related to joints and flexibility is related to muscles. It would really depend on what is causing it, but it's possible to have one and not the other.
It's called the FlexFixx. You can find it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00XSCBHPO/?cv_ct_id=amzn1.idea.3T67NEQCA2GKC&cv_ct_pg=storefront&cv_ct_wn=aip-storefront&ref=exp_cov_askdoctorjo_lv_dp_vv_d (affiliate link)
dr.jo my mom's knees hurt at night would you happen to know what good stretches are good for this kind of issue... please get back to me when you can thank you:)
The band needs to be something solid to get a good stretch, so like a belt, rope, dog leash, etc. But a resistive band would not work well for stretching.
Wonderfully simple and effective...I’m recovering from knee issues due to running and not enough stretching so these are great! I suppose I need to do about twice a day as I get flexibility into my legs, is that about right?
@@AskDoctorJo just one quick question. I see on the videos you stretch gently and hold. What about ‘bouncing’? Especially my legs, to stretch a bit more is gentle bouncing ok? Not to a pain level of course but just enough to get a slightly deeper stretch...what’s your recommendation on that I wonder?
It sounds like your closed captions got turned on. You can easily turn them off by hitting the "CC" button at the bottom of the video. You can also make them transparent if you'd like to keep them on. I show how to do all that and more in this video: ruclips.net/video/VatNBZh66Po/видео.html
It depends on what stage of recovery you are in and how your body reacts to treatment, but in general, therapeutic exercises can be done 1-3 times a day, every day.

What’s the name of that belt
What do you call the strap you used? I bought one off Amazon, but it doesn't stretch. I want a stretchy one like the one you have :)
