For information on strengthening your painful knee check out our video "Top 10 Strengthening Exercises for Painful Knees"- kzread.info/dash/bejne/qnWutbGPpbHNnJc.html

Here's a tip from a guy with arthritis, under 60 = Good advice here, one thing that can help if you have knee pain (and lower back pain) is to get in a bent knee position (in Karate or martial arts it's called the "Horse position") while doing the dishes, brushing teeth or other similar movements you do every day. Bend your knees while up to the sink - it takes pressure off of the lower back immediately, but also will keep those knees in a bent, not locked-out position = your knees and lower back will thank you. I also do knees over toes for extreme knee bending, but I do it safely and under control via a suspension trainer. These pains kept me from lifting weights, which I've done since my early teens, but some minor adjustments and good practices, like those described in this vid, will help and has helped me get back into serious weightlifting - not at loads of my 20s-40s but enough to grow and maintain muscle.

Thank you for a very informative video. I would like to add two things that I found to damage my knees: #1 lifting objects that are too heavy for me. My orthopedist told me when I tore my meniscus that it was because i lifted several boxes of books that day and I felt the tearing. #2 I went to an exercise class in the swim pool and I was asked by teacher to make BIG CIRCLES with my hanging knee. Again MD said the tortion of the knee caused my other injury during that class.

The practice that hurt my knee was that I knelt often at work while installing exhibits. This was on carpeting, and I reached side to side getting tools, paint can etc. This twisting went into my left knee and eventually tore the mensicus. I should have been wearing hard-shell knee pads and not twisting so much.

Exercise of all kinds and stretching has always been in my life every day. My destress plan. However, I discovered that when you fracture your ankle and tear many main ligaments, the boot you have to wear plays havok with your knee. I got permission to do these specific exercises from my PT so I am doing these exercises. Thank you, I am seeing slow, but definite improvement! I do have to keep watching the videos, for accuracy, but they are working. 😊

I'm 62 and my knees click alot, but never hurt, I'm very active, but do I need to be taking something for better lubricantion?

Any suggestions for how to strengthen knees when you've got patellar tendonitis AND hip arthritis? Because of the arthritis I don't have a lot of range of motion in the hip and a lot of pain, as well as a lot of pain from the knee tendonitis.

Tendonitis in my right knee, after hurting my left meniscus.. no arthritis in either, but still so bothersome 😔.. I'll definitely try these..

I've had HORRIBLE knee problems for 15 years. I finally found something, thanks to my ortho doc that works very well. Synvisc! It feels exactly like having oil put in and all around the knee. It lasts 5- 6 months. Quite honestly, it makes it where I can 'live' again. I can't recommend it more. Perfection!!

Hi!!

All of your videos are interesting and very helpful. One observation though. For knee health you suggest NOT landing on the heel but on the toe area or flat. When I did that I was prone to tripping and have intense fear of falling/injury. So I land on my heels in order to keep my toes elevated a tiny bit to avoid tripping. I'm a klutz -- I can and have tripped on a clean floor - its not that there are tripping hazards around, it seems to be how I walk. I attempt to keep my knees "soft" and follow other instructions other times but I DO NOT want to fall and injure myself.

I have a knee cap that I have dislocated twice . My doctor just keeps injections of cortisone ? I have been told that I’m a Tkr candidate. Should I keep getting the injections or not ?

Wondering if you habe any suggestions on how to stretch a knee that has a "Bakers Cyst" on it?

The tip about standing and walking with your knees slightly bent is awesome.

Thank you for the advice and excercise. I have bad knees that act up every now and then.

Great to hear you got it! It's amazing right!?!

Neither of my knees extends fully and neither will flex more than 90 degrees. Ortho appointment on Monday to see if I need surgery on the left, most likely a yes, and what to do about the right one. I worry about the condition of the muscles since they haven't been fully utilized in over a year.

At 69 years old and having a lot of arthritis that requires daily PT exercises to reduce my pain, I found a motivational saying that keeps me doing the exercises: "After six months you will have either six months of excuses, or six months of progress. The choice is yours."

I recently fell and it felt like my knee gave out. I have an awesome chiropractor who said that can come from the hip. We also discovered my fibia was out of alignment. So it never hurts to go see a good sports chiropractor

If u have arthritic knee pain can u still work out or should you avoid working out until it’s fully pain free.

My knees are good but suffer from bad ankles especially the left! Can you help?

Worst things you can do to your knees are not drink enough water to keep the cartilage soft and spongy, and, run on cement. Not drinking enough water will cause the cartilage in your knees to harden. Running on cement sidewalks will destroy your knees.

Depends. Not everyone is hurting too much from pavement running. Some like me get great help from maximalist running shoes that have plenty of soft cushioning. New Balance More works for me. It is better than the popular Hoka One One Speedgoat.

Are there braces to prevent your knee from locking out straight when you walk? If so, please elaborate.

So here’s a question for you. As an older person my sense of balance is not as good. If I trip on something I am more apt to fall all the way down than I used to. To keep from tripping I try to walk heel first so i don’t trip over something on the ground.

I've started doing the stationary bike, the recumbent where you sit back, and I worry about the knee pain. It's not too bad but I don't want to create a problem. I looked it up and it said it's strengthening the muscle around the knees?

@She_it_her

Ай бұрын

Not an expert, but I have a background in personal training. I know working your way up to a normal upright stationary bike is much better for you overall because it strengthens all muscles of the leg as well as the entire core (including the lower back). Even if you hold onto the handles, low resistance, and slow cadence, this is still better than moving faster or with more resistance on a recumbent bike. Definitely ask someone if you aren’t sure about proper form. Many personal trainers are fine giving advice m/tips for free when it comes to simple form checks.

@MissBabalu102

Ай бұрын

@@She_it_her Oh Ok. I'll keep that in mind, especially if I buy one. I also want a new bike cruiser, for fun. I have a low back vertebrae out of alignment, and I guessed recumbent would put less strain. I don't know, it's a learning process.

One knee hurts going up and down stairs..but not with walking or light running. And it hurts less if I do a light workout if I go up and down steps for a bit…weird.

So band messes up my knees

Get a “partial” knee replacement before you need a “full”. Recovery of Knee surgery is a difficult but worth it.😊🎉

If you keep the muscles tight the patella is locked. If you bend the knee minimally from locked out straight it can help loosen the muscles. Of course you have to grip the patella.

Some PT Professionals are saying that developing butt muscles instead of quads is better for knee pain. Have you heard oh this

Call me crazy but the knees won't work right unless the hip joint has full range of motion. 😮

the worst thing I know of is landing on your heels when you run or jog. Absolute death to knee cartilage. Guaranteed to end in knee pain in later years. Obesity would make second place on my list.
