Hey Everyone, these are exercises to do for strengthening the knees in general also. If you get pain when doing the exercises, follow the tips at the beginning of the video, and gradually build up the amount of exercise you’re doing (both the number of exercises and the repetitions). - Mike
Thank you 💕💕 Mike good luck and god bless you and your family ❤🎉
I have been doing these exercises and have made a great difference.
I'm 82 yrs. old and have been doing your pre-surgery knee replacement exercises, 3 times a day since mid-December 2023, in preparation for my knee replacement on March 8, 2024. What I like most about your technique is that you do the exercises along with the participant, you look strait into the camera leading the participant feeling that you are looking specifically at them and you offer words of encouragement, just like a live physiotherapist would do. And you explain things all throughout the session. I live in Victoria, British Columbia, and I noticed that our ReBalance Orthopaedic website have posted your photo on their website that specifically advertises pre-knee replacement exercises. I've tried a few of your other exercises for seniors that target other parts of the body, and although they are a little too difficult for me at this time, I most certainly plan to do them regularly when I have recuperated from my surgery. I believe you have a special place in your heart for seniors, and I think you are the greatest.

Hi Gloria, I enjoyed reading what you had to say because your comments reflect the excellent job that Mike does for senior like us. I also live in BC (Abbotsford) and, like you, noticed that the Chilliwack & District Seniors’ Resource Society has one of Mike's "strength" workouts on their site. Word of his effective workouts is spreading! I hope your knee surgery provided you with the kind of results you hoped to achieve. Joy

Thank you Mike, for this knee strengthening video. I do have a "total knee arthroscopy" coming up in Feb. 2023 so I was thrilled to find your video at this time. And I walk alot, so I thought I was in pretty good shape, but boy did I feel a difference doing these exercises from my good knee to my bad knee leg! I will be doing these exercises DAILY until my surgery. And thanks for the reminder too about keeping up upper body strength!

Also not getting surgery but these will be so helpful for more strenuous up and down hill walks or hikes. Thank you Mike! So glad I found your channel!
Great to hear the exercises will help Michele! 🙂 Enjoy those hikes!
@@MoreLifeHealth Thanks Mike! Just did the video. It's excellent and fits right in with my PT I am doing. The Tandem Balance was totally new for me and wow do I need it. I was quite jittery and had to gingerly place my fingers several times on the back of the chair. But I know it will get easier in time.
Thank you very good
Can’t understand why this channel doesn’t have billion subscribers? Best channel so far ! Very thorough! Thank you for all your time and work
Thank you! :)
Thank you Mike I am doing these exercises with you and I am improving thank to you and you tube channel good luck and god bless you all ❤😂🎉😮😅
really helpful pre knee op exercises
Thanks Mike! This is perfect. Just saw my Orthopedic Dr. and he recommended PT. So until my insurance company approves his request, I can do these exercises!!!!
Mike as always your videos are excellent and you do them at a nice pace. This one is especially helpful as I'm suffering badly with pain in both knees and have had to cut back on my long walks so now I've added this to my exercise routine. Thank you so much
You're welcome Angie! Yes these exercises will help and so should shorter distance walks... Break up the walks. Give more rest time. Once everything gets stronger, and the pain decreases you should be able to increase the distance. But do this gradually.
Thank you Mike for the exercise God bless you and all
My pleasure!
Hi Mike! Love all the exercises you give for us seniors… you really keep us on our toes.. I love this knee one really helps when I am out walking… Thanks Mike 🦵
Great to hear you like this one Irene! Keep up the good work with it all! 🙂
Thank you Mike I am doing this exercises with you it's getting better but still I cannot bend knee to kneel I hope near future doing this exercises I am able to do kneel down thank very much good luck and god bless you and your family
So glad that found this video as I have arthroscopic surgery in 10 days. I've been trying to do exercises on my own but yours are much more comprehensive. Thanks for making this video.

Thanks!
Another great video.
Happy to hear you liked it Joan! 🙂
🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏love all those exercises
Thanks, Mike! Very helpful. I’m not needing knee replacement surgery but recently feeling some pain on the side of my right leg , close to the knee. The exercises were great!
Glad you liked them Alida. 🙂 Although the video is title for before knee replacement surgery, they are the exercises to do, to get the knees stronger for anyone.
No surgery in the offing right now. However, I do independent quad exercise several times a week in concert with leg strengthening exercises in your videos. My quads have majorly hardened since I started with you, Mike. I do have knee problems making sit to stands challenging, although I've advanced much in these and especially partial squats. Mine are between partial and full, quite an advancement for me. This is a great exercise. My legs feel a tad fatigued since I exceeded the reps in all of the parts in this routine, but they're happily tingling and feel quite strong! Thanks to this very thorough routine and demo. Please place this one in your go-to exercise compilation: it's not only a keeper but one I'll be returning to to keep my legs and knees strong...Anastasia
Thank you Mike because of 😮thise exercise I am waking with out pain but I can't bend knee to kneel still I am doing this exercises thank your a😮

Hello Mike, although I am not having surgery on me knees I've got severe arthrosis on both knees. These exercises are phenomenal! Thanks. What I am doing is one of your 30/35 minutes workouts one day and the next the knee strengthening ones. Thank you again!

Hi Mike, are these exercises ok for someone avoiding knee replacement ? I have two meniscus tears, I feel if I do exercise them in the correct manner, I won’t need an operation. Thanks Mike, your a great teacher 👍

Hi again 😊🎃I did these with you today & they are the same as I did for a hip replacement year’s ago Great 👍 it’s 10/31 here in the USA 🇺🇸 & it’s Halloween 🎃🧙♀️
Excellent timing as my knees are playing up after walking although I don’t need surgery. Many thanks
Thank your Mike ido theses exercises with you 💕 good luck and god bless you and your family 😂😂😢😮😅
Mike you’re back, I’ve been worried about you. I don’t know if I need a knee replacement, but I’m going to an Orthopedic Surgeon next week.
Question I’d love a walking video & I’ve seen posts on this too. Thanks so much.
Hey Judi. All is good here🙂 I have been aiming for 1 of these longer videos per month. Yes I have seen many requests for a walking video, I'll see what i can do! I hope you're well!
@@MoreLifeHealth Great hearing from you.
Thank you Mike I do this exercise with you God 🙏 bless you
Really good hurts a bit but ok
Why is the best after Total knee..am having a painful IT LIGAMENT that is preventing me from doing some..any recommendations...
When you say to work up to doing 2 or 3 reps, should you do 10 of one of the exercises you do here, pause, do 10 more for 2 reps or go through the whole sequence and then repeat? Does it matter?
I have the same question. For instance, when doing chair seated leg lifts, would I do 5 leg lifts on each side and then do 2 more sets of those?
😊Excellent preparation for TKR. Thank you. I had my op 2 days ago and have greatly benefited from your video. Do you have a video for post op exercises ?
They're pretty much the same exercises Anne. Are you working with a Physiotherapist?
Do these exercises “have to” be done on a bed? Can I do them on the floor? I have to keep a special pillow under my knees when laying dow as a flat knee is painful to bend.

Help please, I started doing your senior exercises for walking up stairs, I feel my knees crunching, but do feel looser when I do them, just wondering if I’m doing harm to my knees seeing they crunch. Thank you.
Hey Mary. No, crunching is common. There should not be any pain however.
😮
Had to do them on the bed, wouldn't be able to get up from the floor.
Yes, I recommend them being done on a bed.
These are great if you have had breast cancer surgery also! I can feel how 'awake' my muscles are ~ perfect for counter-acting nasty side effects from after-surgery meds. Just sayin' ...
Why does it take so long to get into it!
Thanks!
Thanks for the Super Thanks Rich! 😃
