willing to bet money on you being american. you just don't have a good education system. it might affect universities but it also affects regular jobs, like car repair shops etc, I watched this and it was a mere refresher of my meniscus recovery years ago (feeling the pop again..)
I had the surgery & the pt , no good, sooo… I bought & took Youngevity, healthy bone & joint, expensive, found that the ‘on the go’ plus liquid cal toddy, a bottle of Cherri minerals plus Gluco gel, 1/2 the price of the powder to water mix, aka, healthy start paks, 4-5 different types that hone in on your specific need, I was pretty healthy when I began taking this. I had done 9 months of eating only fresh fruit in the morning and vegetables all afternoon then a dinner of a soup type stuff with quinoa and whatever, this was all prior to my injury so that when I started taking the Youngevity products I was walking normal pain free, all because his products are so energized & my gut was so healthy. Watch his stuff on the gut and gluten, then you will get it. In less than 10 days I was walking 6 huge city blocks to a park in a large city, no kidding, PAIN FREE. My ortho told me that I did not just tear my cartilage/ meniscus, I nearly obliterated it …. Youngevity but do NOT stop taking it, you seriously need the ‘90 For Life’ to stay healthy. So damn glad I took on that hunch that night & called my friend Dan, a real life saver. Seriously, Watch Dr Joel Wallach, he’s on the RUclips channel. Be ready to be educated. Love What His Work Had Done For Mankind. The minerals are like no other. Find Out Where He Gets Them, you will be blown away …..
Thank you Bob and Brad! Nothing short of miraculous that after having 2 MCL injuries in my right knee and one in the left knee I am able to run comfortably for the 1st time since 2008. Years of PT were not nearly as helpful as your videos.
Thank you Bob and Brad for all you do for people who suffer pain from injuries. Bob, you encouraged me not to give up…watching you persevere through your illness is a true heroic example of not giving up…and Brad, a true friend supporting you all the way. I was ready to give up. An injury in another state, insurance issues where I am currently living…..then my sister reminded me of your channel. I was already a subscriber! But in my temporary insanity with the pain, I thought I HAD TO GO TO AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON. After just one session using this video as a guide, my knee felt better. I am not going to give up….I am going to persevere. God bless you Bob and Brad!
Guys, I am two weeks of excruciating pain. It brings me to tears. Watching these brings me to tears. For demonstration purposes, use someone that actually has a meniscus tear.
Thanks Bob and Brad. I got a meniscus injury years ago. Went to surgeon, had MRI. He referred me to a physiotherapist who gave some sort of heat therapy with magnetic plates and also electrodes. Only exercise he gave me was wall squats sliding down a door frame with a towel behind my back and squeezing a foam roller between my legs. Recently I did a few extreme stretches and problems came back. Went to a physio who only gave me those seated clam shells with band resistence. So I tried these exercises in this video.
This is so good - thanks for being there for SO many people including myself! Over the past few years, your videos have helped me TREMENDOUSLY in so many ways!
The stair exercise I think I missed which leg goes on the stairs. Have a meniscus tear but surgery repair not in the cards for mine due to weight right now which trying to loose with the tear. My husband and I watched and we missed if the leg with the tear is on the stairs or is the one your lifting in the air. Did the therapy and you have showed me more items in the video then what was given or more comfortable ways to do other exercises then those that worked with me did. I'm in managing pain section with ortho and regular personal doctor now. As well continuing therapy exercises at home. My husband saw the video and saved it for me to watch. Thank you for sharing your videos with all of your followers.
this is awesome. I am an RN and I can read. But honestly a visual learner. These guys are JUST FABULOUS. Thank you.... I am not reading all these papers that I am supposed to follow to do the exercise that is so easily explained in this video...... THANK YOU , THANK YOU....
Thank you, Brad and Bob! These guys are to web-based PT information as Click and Clack (Cartalk) were to radio talk shows about car repair. Wonderful presentation!
I had pain all morning in my knee. It felt like something was twisted inside. Not sure what that means but after these exercises the pain subsided. Thank you!
Thank you so much guys. Really good exercises and kinda fun when you add some good quiet music. Love the chemistry between you. You make us smile. That's very important to keep going. Cheers
Thank you guys so much for all of the amazing content. I was bended on my right knee for a about 2 hours with no padding and I was chopping some wood to make some kindling. I did this a couple days a week for about a month. All of a sudden I went to work I woke up and everything was OK , but during the day my knee started clicking, grinding a lot like whenever I would bend my knee to walk or if I tried to sit down. Also if I tried to raise my knee up I would also have the clicking grinding noise. The sound it produced was very weird almost like two bones, rubbing or a ligament and a bone rubbing. Anyways, I didn’t know if this was bursitis or if it was the meniscus so I started doing a bunch of exercises from this channel. I am really hoping it works. Regardless, I just want to say thank you so much for all of the great content in demonstration videos. Please feel free to comment. If you think you may know what I may have done. Thank you so much.
Thank you! I have this tear and a dodgy SI joint and the tear hurts the most when the SI is in a lot of pain. I saw the physio and he said I'd have to get surgery on the tear but I am hopeful it will heal itself as I have faith the body heals itself, and I wasn't given exercises so I am thrilled by you guys always being so generous, blessings! ♥
I absolutely love you guys, your tips are always so useful and you show us what is doable! Greetings from down under! Keep up the Great Work that you both ar doing! Best wishes from Aussie, Julie
It’s the way he threw the pillow for me! 😂 Awesome information that I will definitely use to help strengthen my knee before surgery for my torn ACL and meniscus. You guys are awesome 👏
Very helpful advice. I like how they are specific about how to properly perform each exercise. My PT told me just yesterday about being mindful and not allowing my knee to fall in towards my opposite leg. It definitely takes awareness to complete the exercises safely. Thank you for this great video and great example of teamwork! 😃
Hurray! You pretty much confirmed with this video that it's okay for me to do my usual core strengthening routine on the ball again despite suspected meniscus tear after a fall. Will see if I can heal this up at home (or at least get rid of symptoms) and avoid surgery. Will let pain be my guide, of course. Thanks for all your great videos!
Instead of finding a foot slider, I’m using a Furniture Slider. It cant be raised to an angle, but it moves smoothly forward and back on my tile or carpet.
You have no idea how much your videos have helped me. I'm an expat living in China and none of the doctors I've spoken to have been anywhere near as informative as this - they all want to operate and completely dismiss the idea of me being able to heal myself. I apparently have Grade II/III tears in both of my meniscus in the left knee and a partial PCL tear after a motorbike accident 5 weeks ago. I understand the PCL will eventually repair itself but, for the time being, the doctor says it's still unstable. My question is, will doing these meniscus exercises have any negative effect on the still-healing PCL?
Thank you for sharing and your sense of humor and professionalism, your videos are a lot of help to deal with my own and my athletes pains. I am a pro Tennis Coach. Thank you!
Just had surgery on my knee, meniscus and due to the pandemic I was not prescribed PT, your videos are very helpful and I appreciate the fact that these allow me to exercise at home. Appreciatively!
this has been a very useful video, thank you! can you do a video additional sport specific exercises in addition to those in this video. I am particularly interested in those to recover from a meniscus tear and return to skate boarding, especially deep squats associated with a 'coleman slide'.
My meniscus tear never healed. I always walk with a limp due to the pinching pain. 8 years later I felt my bones touching through the tear during a run. Ever since that run, I've had crippling pain problems to where my knee just swells up. Currently, years after my knee settled back down again, my tibia is now behaving as if it has rotated inward, but I barely ever feel the pinching pain I limped with for most of 20 years. I believe the tibia has rotated as a defense mechanism for these reasons: my foot is pointed inward, and when I do squats on a slant board to help with my additional patellar tendonitis pain, the patellar tendon straightens the tibia back to the correct position and the meniscus pain returns and I'm back to limping. It's the devil. I even had surgery on my meniscus year I first received the injury but all they did was fold the tear back over without stitching it and it's been in pain for 20 years as it folds and unfolds by itself. Nobody will help me. I tried multiple times.

My leg was plenty strong when I tore my meniscus. I had been doing squats, leg extensions, and hamstring curls. The problem was probably that my leg was a lot stronger than my 70 year old meniscus, which is why it tore. Suggesting I exercise my leg muscles while my meniscus heals seems a good strategy for maintaining leg muscle tone, but I fail to see how it promotes the healing of the meniscus. I'm in my 4th week of recovery. I walk on my injured knee. I take a hot bath with epsom salts and massage my knee. I am able to walk down the steps (backwards). And when my knee feels well enough to begin working out again, I will. Not until then. Thank you.
Before my knee surgery I had to make 8 appointments for PT. No wonder they don't mention these professional self-help videos. I'll go to one or two appointments then finish on my own.
I was doing kettle bell swings with a 40 pund bell and on one of the reps I got a little out of focus and let the bell hit the medial side of my right knee. I'm sure it's my MCL that is now sprained. If I were to make an educated guess it's only level 1. It's been 4 days since and I can't believe I hadn't remembered to look you guys up! Such valuable information you guys serve for the public. Thank you!
You two are wonderful! I learn so much with every video. Thank you for all you do. I do have a question, what would you recommend if your knee is kind of frozen straight and won't bend?
When you have degenerative arthritic changes in the knee including history of meniscus tears, damaged ligaments etc and you start to get symptoms once again, can physio be done rather then knee scope to clean out the damages? I damaged my knee quite badly in 1997 and in 2013 I had to have the knee scoped since it was the orthopaedic doctors opinion that due to the history of knee injury the only option was surgery. Will that still hold now after I twisted my knee 6 weeks ago and it is locking and cracking more often each week. The pain increases steadily etc.
Thanks for sharing these great exercises. You mentioned your sound, it's really not the best. I was flat out hearing you both. I look forward to more videos with improved sound quality. ✌️
Thank you so much for this informative video. I just had meniscus surgery yesterday, Oct 2, 2020. I feel very positive about starting my rehab. when I'm cleared by my surgeon next week. Love that slide, excellent.
Hey guys, I messed up my knee my senior year in HS, in 2012. Knee got super swollen (was it meniscus? I’m not sure). Healed 100%. Skip to 2016, I damaged my same right knee doing squats and leg press right before my huge family reunion which is in Louisiana. I live in Seattle. I went down there and did all of the activities but messed up my knee even more in the process. After it not healing fully I finally decided to get a mri and I had a torn meniscus. They did surgery and removed the damaged part. Skip to 2019, I have taken it very easy last few years and feel I’m as healthy as I can be. My friend invited me to play in basketball league and 3 days before, I do leg press workout and maybe go heavier than I should resulting in a little soreness in knee. 3 days later I’m playing in the first game and I play the whole first half and feel fine, but 3 minutes into the second half when I’m running up court my knee goes into an instant pain, same pain as if I just tore my meniscus again. (I had to sub out right away and could not play at all afterwards, it hurt to run up and down court) The pain is still in the right side of my right knee but seems to have moved to the back of my knee also now. I have been using this CBD clay stuff to put on my knee which makes it very itchy but allows me to massage it very deeply which is helping it heal much quicker. Just wanted to get your guys opinion on what I should do next? I don’t want to stop playing basketball, I just want to get back to 200%.
@@destinperkinson8103 I'm not sure where your pain is. Medial or lateral but I have watched all sorts of videos in 24 hrs lol trying to find one that helps. This one has but also one titled "Dr Yeong Kwok discusses knee pain" by Michigan Medicine and he shows one stretch that has helped me tremendously! Omg. I couldn't bend my knee for the last 2 days. Today I can. I'll keep stretching, rolling and icing. I'll try anything to not have surgery...again.
txrn79 Mine is strictly lateral. I have what appears to be a meniscal cyst. It’s been a month since my injury, I’ve been slowly getting better but I have a spartan race in that I’m trying to heal up for. I’m starting to come to terms that it may not happen lol. Thanks I’ll check out that vid! Good luck bro!
@@destinperkinson8103 I ended up making an ortho appt. My knee is too unstable and started giving when I walked. Such an uneasy feeling to be walking just fine and then suddenly your knee give out. Stairs are a no go. Better to be safe than sorry ... I had a Spartan I wanted to do but I knew my knee couldn't take it. I can just imagine myself being airlifted out of the course lol.
@@txrn79 I have been making slow progress on my own. I did the Spartan at Ft. Campbell this last weekend. I wrapped my knee with squat wraps, wore compression pants, and glazed it up with tigerbalm. Other than being sore, it seems to be okay. I will probably make an appointment still just due to it still aching pretty bad every day. Mine is pretty stable, I haven't really had many issues with it giving out, maybe once or twice but not bad. There has to be something they can do that will help. I hope you get yours fixed and wish you a solid quick recovery!
I have just torn mine after an incident at work, I'm currently in the waiting stage to see if surgery is needed for it.(i have an inch long tear) Your video is very helpful, and I imagine will be in the future thank You!
How many times a day can I do these … my meniscus injury was about 8 yrs ago and it was more of a ‘nic’ in my meniscus according to the Sports Medicine Dr. who treated me … I did something to aggravate it again, which happens periodically 🙄… love you guys, keep those videos coming guys!!

Me that I am having meniscus’s is it I have to do surgery again or doing exercise can heal me
Thank you!
I've watched the first five minutes of this video and received more information than my last physical therapy appointment.
Yes exactly. Same with me.
I agree feel like they only want insurance money and don't care about any of my issues. Most of the time they even forget what my issue is
willing to bet money on you being american. you just don't have a good education system. it might affect universities but it also affects regular jobs, like car repair shops etc, I watched this and it was a mere refresher of my meniscus recovery years ago (feeling the pop again..)
I had the surgery & the pt , no good, sooo… I bought & took Youngevity, healthy bone & joint, expensive, found that the ‘on the go’ plus liquid cal toddy, a bottle of Cherri minerals plus Gluco gel, 1/2 the price of the powder to water mix, aka, healthy start paks, 4-5 different types that hone in on your specific need, I was pretty healthy when I began taking this. I had done 9 months of eating only fresh fruit in the morning and vegetables all afternoon then a dinner of a soup type stuff with quinoa and whatever, this was all prior to my injury so that when I started taking the Youngevity products I was walking normal pain free, all because his products are so energized & my gut was so healthy.

Thanks Bob and Brad. I got a meniscus injury years ago. Went to surgeon, had MRI. He referred me to a physiotherapist who gave some sort of heat therapy with magnetic plates and also electrodes.

Recently I did a few extreme stretches and problems came back. Went to a physio who only gave me those seated clam shells with band resistence. So I tried these exercises in this video.

Way too advanced for my pain level, but I might eventually work up to these exercises.💕
Same here I’m in so much pain as recently damaged my meniscus. Not sure if I should work through the pain or not
Thank you. I will try and pray these will help.

Before my knee surgery I had to make 8 appointments for PT. No wonder they don't mention these professional self-help videos. I'll go to one or two appointments then finish on my own.
Thank You 🙏🏼
I have a completely torn tear
10:05 "you dont want your knee to go past your foot" i think that's an important point I've always heard.
Yes!! Atleast that's what my phyciotherapist told me.
@@zeikki4817 no, it's "the head up the ass", my therapist warns me about.🤣
Great video! Thank you sirs.
For the heal slides (at 5:30), use a piece of cardboard under your heal/foot while lying on the bed. Works great.
this was nonstop jam packed with information. pretty impressive
Thank you sir 🙏
I was doing kettle bell swings with a 40 pund bell and on one of the reps I got a little out of focus and let the bell hit the medial side of my right knee. I'm sure it's my MCL that is now sprained. If I were to make an educated guess it's only level 1. It's been 4 days since and I can't believe I hadn't remembered to look you guys up! Such valuable information you guys serve for the public. Thank you!
I think all those kettle balls and heavyweights are sooo dangerous 😳
you two are great, thank you
You two are wonderful! I learn so much with every video. Thank you for all you do. I do have a question, what would you recommend if your knee is kind of frozen straight and won't bend?
When you have degenerative arthritic changes in the knee including history of meniscus tears, damaged ligaments etc and you start to get symptoms once again, can physio be done rather then knee scope to clean out the damages?
I damaged my knee quite badly in 1997 and in 2013 I had to have the knee scoped since it was the orthopaedic doctors opinion that due to the history of knee injury the only option was surgery.
Will that still hold now after I twisted my knee 6 weeks ago and it is locking and cracking more often each week. The pain increases steadily etc.
Hey did it settle down after the twist or did you need another surgery?
Very vEry helpful
Interesting. I'm recovering from meniscus surgery and my PT has me doing these exercises.
Thanks for sharing these great exercises. You mentioned your sound, it's really not the best. I was flat out hearing you both.
I look forward to more videos with improved sound quality. ✌️
Found it very informative.
Do you start these exercises while you have a meniscal tear, or only after it has healed?
Thank you so much for this informative video. I just had meniscus surgery yesterday, Oct 2, 2020. I feel very positive about starting my rehab. when I'm cleared by my surgeon next week. Love that slide, excellent.
..a year later.. How did you make out with your recovery?
.. My bad.. Two years later
Hey guys, I messed up my knee my senior year in HS, in 2012. Knee got super swollen (was it meniscus? I’m not sure). Healed 100%. Skip to 2016, I damaged my same right knee doing squats and leg press right before my huge family reunion which is in Louisiana. I live in Seattle. I went down there and did all of the activities but messed up my knee even more in the process. After it not healing fully I finally decided to get a mri and I had a torn meniscus. They did surgery and removed the damaged part. Skip to 2019, I have taken it very easy last few years and feel I’m as healthy as I can be. My friend invited me to play in basketball league and 3 days before, I do leg press workout and maybe go heavier than I should resulting in a little soreness in knee. 3 days later I’m playing in the first game and I play the whole first half and feel fine, but 3 minutes into the second half when I’m running up court my knee goes into an instant pain, same pain as if I just tore my meniscus again. (I had to sub out right away and could not play at all afterwards, it hurt to run up and down court) The pain is still in the right side of my right knee but seems to have moved to the back of my knee also now. I have been using this CBD clay stuff to put on my knee which makes it very itchy but allows me to massage it very deeply which is helping it heal much quicker. Just wanted to get your guys opinion on what I should do next? I don’t want to stop playing basketball, I just want to get back to 200%.
thank you for this therapy i start this but till when i will have to continue this?
I tore my meniscus in pt for my ankle doing the ball on wall squats.
I overdid it at the gym on leg day so here I am... trying to avoid an ortho visit
me too man. I broke form on warm up squats and heard a loud pop. Now its swelling. FML.
@@destinperkinson8103 I'm not sure where your pain is. Medial or lateral but I have watched all sorts of videos in 24 hrs lol trying to find one that helps. This one has but also one titled "Dr Yeong Kwok discusses knee pain" by Michigan Medicine and he shows one stretch that has helped me tremendously! Omg. I couldn't bend my knee for the last 2 days. Today I can. I'll keep stretching, rolling and icing. I'll try anything to not have surgery...again.
txrn79 Mine is strictly lateral. I have what appears to be a meniscal cyst. It’s been a month since my injury, I’ve been slowly getting better but I have a spartan race in that I’m trying to heal up for. I’m starting to come to terms that it may not happen lol. Thanks I’ll check out that vid! Good luck bro!
@@destinperkinson8103 I ended up making an ortho appt. My knee is too unstable and started giving when I walked. Such an uneasy feeling to be walking just fine and then suddenly your knee give out. Stairs are a no go. Better to be safe than sorry ... I had a Spartan I wanted to do but I knew my knee couldn't take it. I can just imagine myself being airlifted out of the course lol.
@@txrn79 I have been making slow progress on my own. I did the Spartan at Ft. Campbell this last weekend. I wrapped my knee with squat wraps, wore compression pants, and glazed it up with tigerbalm. Other than being sore, it seems to be okay. I will probably make an appointment still just due to it still aching pretty bad every day. Mine is pretty stable, I haven't really had many issues with it giving out, maybe once or twice but not bad. There has to be something they can do that will help. I hope you get yours fixed and wish you a solid quick recovery!
How often would you recommend doing these exercises? Every day?
MRI report is a must
Thanks guys, fantastic work.
Day one of trying these starting from the bottom. Hoping to get back into weight training and some yoga and mobility work
I have just torn mine after an incident at work, I'm currently in the waiting stage to see if surgery is needed for it.(i have an inch long tear) Your video is very helpful, and I imagine will be in the future thank You!
Hey I'm in the same situation. It's been 3 weeks and no MRI scheduled yet. Can you tell me how long it took for your recovery?
nads808 Did you end up having surgery? I had an MRI today.
Love you guys!
6:31 "movement with the stress on the joint to help you heal" yeah. ROI and strength👍
How many times a day can I do these … my meniscus injury was about 8 yrs ago and it was more of a ‘nic’ in my meniscus according to the Sports Medicine Dr. who treated me … I did something to aggravate it again, which happens periodically 🙄… love you guys, keep those videos coming guys!!
Thank you guys that is awesome presentation of the physiotherapy. Couldn't be better with all the little details. Thanks so much!!!!!! 😁👍
Haha “Bobbb... “Can you give me a pillow?”
Bob Throws Pillow 😂
You guys are great!
how often do i do these exercises and when do i start after my injury
Some one please answer his question? Bob & Brad?
Just come across these videos. Really good. How long should i expect to have pain after a meniscus op?
