Thank you doctor . I followed as you said and in three days I feel a lot of difference in my knee now. It's much better than before. I was in a desperate position before watching your videos. I'm relieved now that the pain is much less than before. God bless you.
Thank you dr. I’m trying the exercise and feels better I was told about a knee replacement and I’m a little worry cause ‘m 82 years old keep up the good work so we dont have to suffer so much with so much pain.thank you God. Bless you🙏💊❤️
Thank you for this video..I just started doing the exercises, but already feel relief. I couldn’t get into my dr for a month to get referred to a physical therapist, but I think this video is exactly what I need. 🙏🥰👏
I am 51, I had the knee scope done on right knee in November of 2020. I had to even go back to get cortisone shots because it was hurting after wards. I'm overall healthy but I noticed I have knee aches, and pain and didn't know why. I realized that I have been irritating my knee more by doing spinning, with intensity, and walking exercises. Once again thank you for this info. I plan to start doing these exercises this week and only do spinning with no intensity. My husband has already had a knee replacement on his left knee; now he is having issues with his right. If these exercises help me I will definitely order the 28 day program.
Thank you for giving me hope for my situation. I will continue to Watch and yes, I will go to a therapist as well. Once again, thank you. Warm thoughts I send your way Raquel 🙋🏻♀️ 🙊 🙈 🙉 🌬 🚶♀️🧍♀️🧎♀️🏃♀️💕💕💕
Applying this to patella break. No arthritis or muscles tear...recovering after wearing a brace for 4 weeks. These ,especially #1...is slow go...but been using your other knee suggestions and find they help immensely. Being very gentle and light. Thank you for your video. It'd be great if you did a recovery video directly related to having to wear a brace. Thanks again
Hello, I appreciate it your help with the knees excirse I wish I can go see you. I'm being going on therapy for about a year and is nothing the way you show in, but I started doing some of them and right away I felt the difference. I work out every day 5 days a week I started using my glutes when I do cycling. What a difference. I'm trying to avoid knee replacement. I felt on my left knee on 7/21. Doctor said that I damage the Cartilage I had the surgery I got PRP and did help. I feel much better doing your excirse. Thank you
Thank you so much for your instructions David. I’m 77 yr old and having serious knee problems. I had an automobile accident January 2023 and doctors orders are no driving till my Neurologist okays it so I can’t go to my Physical Therapist. I’m going to try your exercises in the mean time and hopefully won’t need a PT. I was going to have knee replacements in February 2023 but since my accident they were postponed. I will let you know how theses work for me.
Thank you so much in sharing this video that these exercises for someone who has a severe osteoarthritis just like me .I always watch your videos n it's really very informative n can help a lot to a lot of people with osteoarthritis
I’m almost 74 and weigh 215. I’ve got ten weeks of PT under my belt and am doing quite a bit better. I know my weight is a factor so I’m wondering if the 28-day program will be for me. Limited funds so I’m praying it will help. Both menisci are gone in my knees. Losing weight is another goal also. I’m praying surgery is not needed at all.
Re: tailgate exercise, I learned from another video to wear ankle weights (I wear 4 lb on each leg) when I dangle. I time it for 3 minutes 3x a day. Really helps.
Dear Sir; Thank you so much for your ACL related video. I hope you give my question’s answer ; such as : My ACL ligament tear- Right knee( confirmed by MRI & also Dr. Physically observed ) this February 2023 And I appointed with a few DR. & they said to go with acl surgery ( by using biodegradable screw, etc.) . I already booked for surgery next month BUT WHEN I SAW YOUR VIDEOS IN RUclips I GOT A HOPE OF HEALING ACL LIGAMENT NATURALLY WITHOUT SURGERY. In My injured knee no pain & muscle also little bit weak & muscle getting smaller than my Good knee. Can you please let me know details & what’s kinds of Exercises I have to do ?? Please please answer.
DR David thank you for being you because you are helping so many people. I am Evelyn Robinson from Maryland with the bone on bone both knees and I watched the sciatica video and I got mixed up because my thigh started hurting so I stopped for a bit. I've got the glut exercise but I have to get a video. GOD BLESS YOU.
Hi Doc. Thank you very much for suggesting these exercises. I am a daily runner (about 10-12km). I have a knee pain. I guess these will relieve my pain. I will update after 3-4 weeks.
Hi Dr. David, Thank you for all of your advice. I have a question. I am 76 and still working. I do have knee arthritis. my question is. I have to work 2 days a week on my feet. Would it benefit me to rest my knees at some point during the day? And for how long should I do it to continue to work for the rest of the day? Or should I do it a couple times a day? I thank you again for your videos. I have started to follow you faithfully.
Ok! I’m going to try these exercises for the next 5 to 6 months because I’m supposed to have knee surgery next spring! Hopefully they work! Thanks for the exercises! ❤️ 🇨🇦also I have a bakers cyst and a meniscus tear! I’m 75! I’m falling apart! 😢
Me too, I have 2 meniscus tears and bakers cyst. One surgeon was eager to operate on both. I saw a second surgeon, he wanted to avoid the operation, he sent me to a physiotherapist, that wasn’t a great help. This Dr is really great, I’m going to follow him. I’m 76 I’ll do what I can to avoid any operation.
Hey interested in knowing how you are 8 months later. I am due to have total knee replacement in September after putting it off for years and still not looking forward to it. I am still going to do the exercises he recommends. Never heard about swinging your legs before, but it makes good sense, since they say the knees need to move to generate the senovial fluids. Let me know how it is going for you.
Hello I am 67 and have a bakers cyst and I am not sure what else. I just found these exercises and so have not tried yet. I’ll be getting X-rays and ultrasound in 2 days to see what is going on. Look on the RUclips for the Knees Over Toes guy, he came up with exercises for his terrible knees. He is only 36 and has had numerous operations on one knee at least. He suggests walking backwards! All his exercises strengthen and stretch the opposite muscles to what we are often told to do. You should see him now - his mother as well! Good day! 🇨🇦🙏🏻
My name is Jean. I have bone on bone arthritis. I have no pain in my left knee. However, I have stiffness when walking in my right knee. I started having pain at the area of the popiteal fossa then it moved over to the Tibia. I sometimes feel what seems like a sack of liquid which when I massage goes away but it is quite painful when it happens. Initially I took a Tylenol but no longer in need of any pain medication. I have difficulty going up stairs which has improved a little although I feel restrictions in my knee when walking. My knee also feels like it is giving way but I have never had a fall. I can bend my knee without discomfort. I have seen a surgeon who cannot understand how I do not have pain. I have been referred to a clinic for cortisone injections. I do not like the idea but the restrictions in my knee has impacted my quality of life. This has been going on for over 8 months. I have just watched one your videos about strengthening your butt muscles which I intend to work on and hope this will strengthen my knees and stop it from having way. I am also wondering about hyaluronic acid injection not sure if this would help at this stage. I am desperately trying to avoid surgery. What are your advice to me? My MRI indicated my bone on bone has been going on for the pass 20 years. I think my legs are quite strong. I can adduct and abduct 130 to 170 lbs so think as you have stated" work on your butt muscles"
This is a great set of exercises. I will try to do atleast 10 rep to start with. The 2nd knew flexing exercise and bridge will be difficult as I have very little ability to bend my knees but I will do to the extent I can. As soon as i build up my stamina I will get your 28day exercise. Thank you Dr. David. You are the best! Ever Grateful 🙏
You are so much better at this than general physical therapy insurance sent me to...2 different places where teens give everyone identical instruction.thank you so much
I get flare ups in my knees, it moved from one knee to the other…it hurts on inside when i put weight on it, i can bend the knee, but then sometimes it hurts in front of knee?? Do you do these exercises in the morning? I work on my feet 8 hrs a day, alot of standing..i will give this a go.
My dr. Has recommended the cortisone shots, and not much else despite the fact I have a torn test don in my ankle area, and a meniscus tear. I'm fairly active, walk every day, work, do yard work, and walk a lot during a favorite pastime of going to outdoor flea markets. He says I'm 5 years from surgery...I just don't want to lose any of that, or get worse.
Dr. a 70 year old here with bad knees and shoulders due to arthritis. I have had cracking and pain when squatting on an angled surface located at the TIBIALIS ANTERIOR. The pain and cracking has been in existence for about 2 years. I do those exercises shown in this video, slow progress. Any ideas on what to do for the TIBIALIS ANTERIOR. THANK YOU.
Hey James, tibialis anterior pain is not usually connected directly to knee arthritis. You may have something else going that might need to be evaluated by a professional in person. However, if it is progressing, even if it's slow...you may actually be doing the right thing!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you very much, I failed to mention that my fibula head locks from time time, especially when I stretch in the morning. I will speak with someone for sure, thank you again.
Im suffering from osteoarthritis right knee...since i follow your tips and exercises, my knee feels much better....No pains when i get up or taking walks...Thanks
Thank you doctor David, already doing tailgate swing regularly, I'll incorporate others as well... Thanks very much... 🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐 It's a new year eve in my country... So wish you a very happy healthy and marvelous new year ahead... 🍫🍾
Good info been suffering from under the knee pain where calf muscles meet knee..I do bike rides often but not alot of walking..so I started exercising and 30 minutes walk a day..its getting better but still tight

Hey Zippy Abram! Easy fix is the turn off the subtitles by tapping the button with "CC" We can't change the location of the subtitles for you and our current video production set up won't allow it either. But you can always turn your closed captions off and on!
Great video thank you. I am now 6 week post TKR on my left knee and doing well unfortunately I have just started to experience a very painful stabbing pain in the inner aspect of my right knee which has lesser degree of OA bit anxious as I was doing really well with the other knee. Are these exercises suitable for this type of scenario? 🥰🏴🇬🇧
Hi Dr. I am traveling to Ireland via airplane! I have osteoarthritis in both knees, bone on bone! Are there any exercises I can do while on the tight- seated area with little leg extension for straightening my knees? I do know about the raising of my heels and the toe “squeezes” as well as getting up from my seat every 30 minutes to walk up and down the plane aisle! I will be wearing compression stockings for my chronic vein insufficiency/ to prevent blood clots! Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a million! Will be tightening my gluts!
Hey David, recently I subscribed your channel and watch your videos regularly. I'm running 62 yrs. In the mid age I used to do exercises like jogging , run, walking, swimming etc. Sometimes practiced yoga. From 2013 I used to play golf regularly. But at times I fell pain on the inner side of my right knee. Recently in last February the pain became severe and stopped playing golf. Finally as per doctor's advice I did MRI. The impression is like following:- 1. Minimal joint effusion 2.Grade2 signal change in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. 3.ACL injury with small ganglion cyst on PCL. The docto comented as OA advised me some medication and advised for gym, cycling and swimming. I'm following the advice without significant improvement. Could you please advise me what to do?
Hi Zsomjee1! 😃 We hope that your TKR in your right knee has gone smoothly and that you are recovering well.🤞 We recommend following any restrictions that your healthcare provider has given you. These exercises would be beneficial to address any muscle imbalances you may be experiencing that had contributed to your TKR. If your knee is feeling good and your healthcare provider states it's okay to do these exercises you can try them out. When you do try them out please keep the intensity of movement low until you feel you have complete control of movement and please stop all exercises if you feel any pain. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!🧡

I’ve started these exercises and realized how tight my hamstrings were. The knee with the worst pain had the most tightness. Does loosening up the hamstrings aid in knee health? Thanks.
Hi Elizabeth, having flexible hamstrings can contribute to allowing more mobility in the knee but it's important they are not being overworked or strengthened. Most often the knee pain stems from a muscle in balance stemming from the glutes.
My knee pops and has pain when I do the clam exercise? It pops a lot , some times it feels like it's out of alinement. That's very painfull to get it back.
Great question Palmer! A warmup period is not necessary. However, if you would like to have a warmup period, we would suggest starting with one of our knee swelling videos. Here is a link to that playlist if you would like to learn more: “Knee Swelling Help” ruclips.net/p/PLJVIPiFvv1mb17SwpI5eM0Uca2qvg7gsC
Hey Farida! We are so sorry you had to have your knee replaced! Our advice is to consider doing these exercises instead: “Knee Replacement Help” ruclips.net/p/PLJVIPiFvv1maC3n6M0ksF5F17DPDcI98a
I just found your videos.🙏 I am OA candidate for partial knee replacement for both knees. I have bone on bone for both inner knees. The Center and outer are good w/ cartilage in place. Will these exercises help? I just purchased Perfectx cream. I have had knee I injections.
Love your videos tremendously. 👍 But after you go through all the explanations of each excersise could you just demonstrate each excersise in succession without the explanations? So we can follow along without all the talk in between. Again I mean AFTER you go through all the explanations. 😊
Hi Dr. i have gone through TKR on my left knee, now my doctor has said that my other knee is also weak, I have been doing your exercises and feel a lot better. Can you tell if I should i do all these exercises for both the knees esp the one with TKR.
Hey Helen, there's no guarantee that these exercises alone will stop your knee pain and swelling. Resolving knee arthritis is process that takes months, even more than a year. We've got a whole playlist on knee arthritis right here: “Knee Arthritis Pain Help” ruclips.net/p/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i We've also got a program here “Knee Arthritis Recovery Program” www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/knee-arthritis-recovery-program
Any ideas..both knees need to be replaced..bone on bone...Oct 8 first knee surgery scheduled.. not I have a torn miniscus.. any ideas to help me walk...the surgeon says that there is nothing that they can do for meniscus before surgery...I can barely walk!! (Other than giving me oral meds)
Oh that is just so scarey sad. Your doc can order physical tx and PT can show you exercises you can do in a chair and in bed. Strengthen muscles so you are in better shape before surgery and will be better able to do PT after surgery. Good luck.
Hi Leli2006able!👋 That is a great question! We have a video on RUclips that discusses this topic. You can check it out here: “How To Use A Stationary Bike To Help Heal Knee Arthritis” ruclips.net/video/3fmTsQxm5x8/видео.html Please take care! 🧡
Hey Julie, thank you for the kind words! Not sure exactly what the doctor was mentioning but it sounds like it may be dry needling. If so, there have been many patients that find relief with this procedure. An important thing to look at for IT band tightness is your Tensor Fascia Lata muscle (which connects to the IT band). This muscle can become tight, which would in turn cause the IT band to become tighter as well. If you are able to massage that muscle and find relief then that may be your problem.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I have actually started all of your glute exercises! I’m looking forward to getting them stronger. yes that what it was dry needling. My pain is actually on the back outside of my knee does that still make sense for tight IT band?
Hey JoAnne! We answer this in Habit #5 of this video. Below is the link to that chapter in the video: "10 Important Habits To Start When Trying To Avoid Knee Replacement Surgery" [habit 5] ruclips.net/video/iJKu2AI8CmI/видео.html

What are your advice to me? My MRI indicated my bone on bone has been going on for the pass 20 years. I think my legs are quite strong. I can adduct and abduct 130 to 170 lbs so think as you have stated" work on your butt muscles"
This is a great set of exercises.
I will try to do atleast 10 rep to start with. The 2nd knew flexing exercise and bridge will be difficult as I have very little ability to bend my knees but I will do to the extent I can.
As soon as i build up my stamina I will get your 28day exercise.
Thank you Dr. David. You are the best! Ever Grateful 🙏
Thank you so much God bless
You're welcome Rose!!!

You are so welcome Patricia! 🙏

Hey Judy, you are so welcome! We really appreciate your kind words and support!!
I get flare ups in my knees, it moved from one knee to the other…it hurts on inside when i put weight on it, i can bend the knee, but then sometimes it hurts in front of knee?? Do you do these exercises in the morning? I work on my feet 8 hrs a day, alot of standing..i will give this a go.
THANKYOU! It is GREAT exercises! 👌👍🙂👏...
Thank you.
You’re welcome!!!
My dr. Has recommended the cortisone shots, and not much else despite the fact I have a torn test don in my ankle area, and a meniscus tear. I'm fairly active, walk every day, work, do yard work, and walk a lot during a favorite pastime of going to outdoor flea markets. He says I'm 5 years from surgery...I just don't want to lose any of that, or get worse.
Dr. a 70 year old here with bad knees and shoulders due to arthritis. I have had cracking and pain when squatting on an angled surface located at the TIBIALIS ANTERIOR. The pain and cracking has been in existence for about 2 years. I do those exercises shown in this video, slow progress. Any ideas on what to do for the TIBIALIS ANTERIOR. THANK YOU.
Hey James, tibialis anterior pain is not usually connected directly to knee arthritis. You may have something else going that might need to be evaluated by a professional in person. However, if it is progressing, even if it's slow...you may actually be doing the right thing!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you very much, I failed to mention that my fibula head locks from time time, especially when I stretch in the morning. I will speak with someone for sure, thank you again.
Thank you so much doc. You’re an earth angel making these helpful videos!

Does it help do hamstrings curls and exercises
Hi Dr. I am traveling to Ireland via airplane! I have osteoarthritis in both knees, bone on bone! Are there any exercises I can do while on the tight- seated area with little leg extension for straightening my knees? I do know about the raising of my heels and the toe “squeezes” as well as getting up from my seat every 30 minutes to walk up and down the plane aisle! I will be wearing compression stockings for my chronic vein insufficiency/ to prevent blood clots! Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a million! Will be tightening my gluts!
Hey David, recently I subscribed your channel and watch your videos regularly. I'm running 62 yrs. In the mid age I used to do exercises like jogging , run, walking, swimming etc. Sometimes practiced yoga. From 2013 I used to play golf regularly. But at times I fell pain on the inner side of my right knee. Recently in last February the pain became severe and stopped playing golf. Finally as per doctor's advice I did MRI. The impression is like following:-
1. Minimal joint effusion
2.Grade2 signal change in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.
3.ACL injury with small ganglion cyst on PCL.
The docto comented as OA advised me some medication and advised for gym, cycling and swimming. I'm following the advice without significant improvement.
Could you please advise me what to do?
Hi I had the same problem,and tryed everything untill I started using arnica oil and cannabex oil together morning and night
Hi Dr . My R knee T k R is done have to go for left in 6 month . Can I do this exercise . Pl guide. . Thanks
Hi Zsomjee1! 😃 We hope that your TKR in your right knee has gone smoothly and that you are recovering well.🤞 We recommend following any restrictions that your healthcare provider has given you. These exercises would be beneficial to address any muscle imbalances you may be experiencing that had contributed to your TKR. If your knee is feeling good and your healthcare provider states it's okay to do these exercises you can try them out. When you do try them out please keep the intensity of movement low until you feel you have complete control of movement and please stop all exercises if you feel any pain. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!🧡
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank u for your prompt reply .
🙏🏼 Thank You
Hi Mariette! You are very welcome! Thank you for your support! 🙌🏽🧡

Can you do these exercises with a Baker's Cyst?
WHat if I just had total hip replacemen and have try in also aged ossteoarthis?
I’ve started these exercises and realized how tight my hamstrings were. The knee with the worst pain had the most tightness. Does loosening up the hamstrings aid in knee health? Thanks.
Hi Elizabeth, having flexible hamstrings can contribute to allowing more mobility in the knee but it's important they are not being overworked or strengthened. Most often the knee pain stems from a muscle in balance stemming from the glutes.
What are your thoughts on using kinesiology tape for your arthritis knee
What about massage, ultra sound, water therapy, cycling, Pilates, yoga weights on hamstrings, leg press, glutes with weights,
My knee pops and has pain when I do the clam exercise? It pops a lot , some times it feels like it's out of alinement. That's very painfull to get it back.
When you have 3 compartment osteoarthritis with almost no cartilage left how do you avoid replacement?
Doctor before getting into these exercise is there a warm up period. Please reply
Great question Palmer! A warmup period is not necessary. However, if you would like to have a warmup period, we would suggest starting with one of our knee swelling videos. Here is a link to that playlist if you would like to learn more:
“Knee Swelling Help”

Thanks so much! I've been doing my exercises all wrong and your videos have really helped!
Thank you. Did knee replacement on left knee but trying to avoid on Right knee. Have RA. Will these exercises hurt surgery knee?
Hey Farida! We are so sorry you had to have your knee replaced! Our advice is to consider doing these exercises instead:

Hello brother. Too good vedio very informative. __India.
Thank you Shahida Shaikh!!! 🇮🇳
So good! 👍🙏🏼
Thank you TiffT.!!!
I just found your videos.🙏
I am OA candidate for partial knee replacement for both knees. I have bone on bone for both inner knees. The Center and outer are good w/ cartilage in place. Will these exercises help? I just purchased Perfectx cream. I have had knee I injections.
Love your videos tremendously. 👍 But after you go through all the explanations of each excersise could you just demonstrate each excersise in succession without the explanations? So we can follow along without all the talk in between. Again I mean AFTER you go through all the explanations. 😊
Hi Dr. i have gone through TKR on my left knee, now my doctor has said that my other knee is also weak, I have been doing your exercises and feel a lot better. Can you tell if I should i do all these exercises for both the knees esp the one with TKR.
Can i use these with a meniscus tear?
Ty ❤
If I do these exercises will I still have pain and swelling?
Hey Helen, there's no guarantee that these exercises alone will stop your knee pain and swelling. Resolving knee arthritis is process that takes months, even more than a year. We've got a whole playlist on knee arthritis right here:
“Knee Arthritis Pain Help”
ruclips.net/p/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i
We've also got a program here “Knee Arthritis Recovery Program”
www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/knee-arthritis-recovery-program
Is this for someone for cartilage gone ? Told to do tkr
What if my legs are already disfigured due to my bone on bone,the doctor called my knees "windswept"
Any ideas..both knees need to be replaced..bone on bone...Oct 8 first knee surgery scheduled.. not I have a torn miniscus.. any ideas to help me walk...the surgeon says that there is nothing that they can do for meniscus before surgery...I can barely walk!! (Other than giving me oral meds)
Oh that is just so scarey sad. Your doc can order physical tx and PT can show you exercises you can do in a chair and in bed. Strengthen muscles so you are in better shape before surgery and will be better able to do PT after surgery. Good luck.
Is stationary cycling good for the knee Dr.
Hi Leli2006able!👋 That is a great question! We have a video on RUclips that discusses this topic. You can check it out here:
“How To Use A Stationary Bike To Help Heal Knee Arthritis”

Please take care! 🧡
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you Dr.
These are great! Can you help out with tight IT band and doctor is recommending PT and mentioned a procedure similar to acupuncture to the IT band
Hey Julie, thank you for the kind words! Not sure exactly what the doctor was mentioning but it sounds like it may be dry needling. If so, there have been many patients that find relief with this procedure. An important thing to look at for IT band tightness is your Tensor Fascia Lata muscle (which connects to the IT band). This muscle can become tight, which would in turn cause the IT band to become tighter as well. If you are able to massage that muscle and find relief then that may be your problem.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I have actually started all of your glute exercises! I’m looking forward to getting them stronger. yes that what it was dry needling. My pain is actually on the back outside of my knee does that still make sense for tight IT band?
I like all your videos...
Do you recommend taking collagen supplements?
Hey JoAnne! We answer this in Habit #5 of this video. Below is the link to that chapter in the video:
