I walk 3 km every morning and have been suffering from left inner knee pain for months now. I started walking curling my toes and focusing on using my glutes not my front thigh to power my walk as you said in prior videos. It's like a miracle, my knee did not hurt this morning or during the night. Additional benefit is my posture is better while walking. Thankyou so much.
Hi Juanita, That's wonderful to hear! We're thrilled that focusing on using your glutes has made such a positive impact on your knee pain. It's amazing how small adjustments in technique can lead to significant improvements. Keep up the great work with your walking routine, and we're glad to hear that your posture has also benefited! 🧡

Excellent video! Very concise, and easy to understand! I was recently diagnosed with a Baker's cyst, and a recent xray showed mild to moderate bilateral osteoarthritis. I'm an active person, and it's challenging to be so suddenly taken off my feet. I've started those tailgate swings....how long and often should I do these? Also wondering if I should be concentrating on healing the Baker's cyst before starting exercises for the arthritis. Thanks so much, you have an amazing site, and I'll definitely continue to follow.

I just celebrated my 84th birthday! I was a competitive athlete well into my forties & have continued to be physically active, power walking at least 3 miles daily, seasonal swimming & gardening year round. Intermittent knee pain has finally moved me to a respected orthopedic doctor. My Doc took pics which revealed significant loss of cartilage in both knees along with arthritis. However, my pain would flair but also wane with rest & gentle exercises. Lately the pain has increased along with feelings of knee instability . Your "baby sqats" are helping already! I plan to follow all the knee videos & am so grateful to you for this help.
Great video. Any suggestions on ensuring to get cardio while dealing with knee arthritis? Most of your videos don't like the traditional types of cardio (bike, treadmill, elliptical, etc.).
Hi Netta, the bike, treadmill, and ellipticals are all fine as long as your glutes are the main muscles that activate. When you finish your exercise and you feel that your quads and hamstrings are more sore vs. your glutes you could be exacerbating the issue. If you are in pain the best thing you can do is rest to not create more inflammation and discomfort. Walking is one of the best exercises you can do for cardio when dealing with Knee OA.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Hi Doctor I have right knee arthritis . My cartilage is much thinner on the inside of my knee joints. My knees are filed with liquid and are swole. And painful to walk. Doctor tells that knee replacement is the only treatment for me. Is there anything that grows cartilage?
Hi, thanks a lot for the information you give us! Is it ok when I lift the knee it kind if bothers the articulations of the knee? I happends only with one of my legs. Thanks a lot!
I'm seeing a "Manual PT" here where I live. He is having me do "bridges", and exercises that he says "to tighten up the muscles around the knee". My problem has been "lateral miniscus tears, so I'm not feeling as good when I have a session with him and he is wanting to tighten the muscles, and not focusing a lot on the glutes. I go to the gym, and am doing well with wts, 15 min with the "Tailgate Swing", the Oliptical and "Recumbent Bike" (as well as a machine that helps the glutes). So, should I approach him about focusing on the glutes and less with tightening muscles around the knee ??
Dr i have been doing castor oil knee packs and knee exercises . My goal is to take evening walks and i think i will get there. My question is will i ever get well enough to be able to wear heels with dresses again? Or am i relegated to flat orthopedic shoes?
I have been diagnosed with a bone spur caused by osteoarthritis in my knee. Is surgery necessary or is there something else I can do? Currently having acupuncture to manage pain.
This was great. Just what I needed. Do you ever graduate beyond stage 4 where you can do regular squats and glutes are strong enough to be activated? Or is stage 4 a lifelong thing?
I have osteoarthritis on my rights knee an the left knee Dr want me to get a knee replacement can show me for my left knee replacement I told I can't do anything except exercises
Can you address folks that are obese and the body weight makes it difficult to do many of these exercises? The weight of the leg causes strain on the knee to do exercises like the clam.
My orthopedic doctor told me to loose weight to help my knees plus I was told he would not do a replacement until I lost the weight. So I went keto and lost weight just incase I had to get a replacement. My knees are better now. Good luck to you.
@ thank you for your help. Since posting this I’ve lost over 40 pounds! I no longer have severe knee pain and I workout regularly to keep my muscles strong around my knees.

What exercises are good for knee arthritis and osteoporosis? The exercises recommended for building bone density seem to be high impact or more stress/pressure on knees, which's bad if you have weak knees already.
Hi I suffer from knee osteoarthritis and have tried ypur recommended exercises on strengthening glutes which really help. What I’d like to know is how to be able to sit down and stand up from a seated position without pain. My knees stiffen after sitting and can hardly get up without hand support. I also have pain after walking for more than 20 minutes.

Hi, I’ve been doing exercises that you recommended for awhile, I’m probably in stage 3. I have bony protuberances, swollen bones, reduced joint space and my knee will not go all the way back; it’s between 1 and 2 inches forward. Will your program help my knee further, or do. I require a knee op first?
Hey Randy, they can be as long as you aren't feeling any pain and the focus is on the glutes. Glutes need to be the main muscle group that is activated if you are trying to help knee pain.

Great video, very helpful. One question, I have real hard time sitting on my heels, like kneeling..I guess this is due to my strong quads?
Sitting on my heels is impossible for me, as in. Childs Pose. It seems to be stiffness in the knee joint that prevents it?
I have been diagnosed with a bone spur caused by osteoarthritis in my knee. Is surgery necessary or is there something else I can do? Currently having acupuncture to manage pain.

Can you address folks that are obese and the body weight makes it difficult to do many of these exercises? The weight of the leg causes strain on the knee to do exercises like the clam.
Maybe some of these exercises can be done on the bed. Create your own modified exercises.
