Thanks for these exercises, Grant Frost. I subscribed immediately after watching your creatively designed knee workout. I may adapt your exercises to kneeling next to and getting into my bed every night. 78 yr old ex runner, stroke survivor here. Stroke doctors told my sisters I had a week left at best to live, better start closing my estate. Fortunately I didn't have much of an estate to close since that was back in 2007. Came out of semi-conscientiousness with total left side paralysis. Took 3 months of steady work in rehab, but walked out of that particular facility with a cane, 85% recovered. I'd lost the ability to run, but I never lost the runner's mentality gained over decades of roadwork, running through good and bad weather and tons of minor pains and injuries. People who had come into rehab with me had just started to get over their depression.They were beginning their rehab as I was walking out the door. Therapists and psychologists say there are five stages of depression we must go through before we can ever get past it. No one said that we have to start out depressed. Think positive thoughts! In the end it matters.

Amazing Andrew! Good luck with your continued progess forward and I hope the video helps in some small way to help get you there!

Great video, Thanks! I don’t feel much stiffness/pain in my knees kneeling, however my ankles (and top of the foot) get really uncomfortable when I start to put weight on them - any advice for increasing the tolerance in my ankles/feet?

Tried it.. and wow. Worked instantly. WOW. My mind is blown. Keep the work up man cause you are changing peoples lives. Thank you.

Thanks for this well explained video. I'm 💯%sure this will help me. I'm starting today. I started to struggle with knee pain recently. I am not accepting this is an age thing. Thank you. Subscribed. I found the stretch almost impossible to do but wiggled my way into a low form using yoga blocks so I could reach the floor with my hands.

Great to hear you can find a compromise! Hope things free up and you can see that progress!

My constant weight fluctuations are a big cause as to why I struggle to kneel down and even more with getting back up without struggling

I have not been able to kneel due to pain with pressure below the kneecaps. I have tried knee pads and assorted cushions. I have had physical therapy due to left knee replacement. I have expressed the goal of being able to get up off the floor without pain, but the therapists never address that. I just tried kneeling on my bed and was happy that the pain was not there. I will be trying your exercises.

I'm going into ems and kneeling is very important. Especially when your holding someone's C-spine in place. It's hard. My hole body shakes when I'm kneeling, and I'm only 19. I played American Football for 10 years and wrestled for 5. During that time I had no problem. 1 year off and now it's an incredible problem. I hope this helps!

I enjoyed watching this video, Grant, and have recently had some difficulty crouching down on the floor as my knees get sore. I am in my 50s and work as a professional painting contractor and spend quite a lot of time working on my knees. Also, I recently had x-rays on both knees and I do have some arthritis behind my knee caps and I received steroid injections to help minimize the pain. Additionally, I have also started an exercise program with a physical therapist and she wants me to strengthen my quads and hip muscles in order to reduce any inflammation. I may try your exercises eventually as well!

"jumper knees" might be one issue for kneeling problem also, when you have that protuberance under the knee cap ("double knees")

When I get on my knees, both knees hurt along with my shins, while kneeling. It makes me want to get up right away which isn’t easy. Any thoughts?

Your little test demo put me off completely. This kind of pressure on my knee is excruciating, something as a very young man you might not understand.

The test isn't the most important part of the video. It's an example of something one could do as a pretest in order to gauge any progress from the exercises over time. It's scaleable based on each person's specific ability.

I had meniscus surgery 7.5 weeks ago. How do I work up to being able to put my knee in the corner? I'm at a bit over 110° bend now.

The couch stretch really helped and I can kneel without knee pain now. Amazing. My hamstrings get crampy, uncomfortable, and it feels like a radiating sensation down the back of my leg when I kneel however. Why would that be?

Glad to hear it helped Lorentz! I can't comment on your symptoms specifically, but from a general standpoint I would always be interested in what the lower back is doing if there is pain down the back of the leg. Here's some general information that may give you an idea of where to look: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d36dvNSio9O6ZZc.html

Thank you very much! I appreciate your help!

I can’t even get into the starting position of kneeling on my knees. The lateral right knee area has stabbing electric pain and the left is just starting to hurt but I want to prevent it from getting like the right. What do I do if I can’t even get down on my knees due to pain like shown in this video?

Thanks for your advice, when I kneel, I am feeling it in the tendons at the front of my ankles(ie where you do your shoe laces up) is there any way to stretch/reduce the soreness that is geenerated at this spot, please?

@YourWellnessNerd

I can't be too specific for you mate without assessing you first. But from a general perspective if the front of the shin and ankle is tight, massage through the area can help, so can gently letting a tennis ball press into any tight spots in the shin above the ankle itself. There are other things but obviously it's best you see someone in person to make sure you get the most appropriate advice!

Please guide how to manage knee pain during or after when it's used as punishment. In school it was usually quite long in my case

so i'm trying this out. i've had 5 knee surgeries (3 on left, 2 on right). It's seems flat feet, pigeon toes and sports (gymnastics & tennis) don't mix! I've lost some flexibility in both knees due to the surgeries. And I have extremely tight quads & calves (full calf). Calves are so tight, I tend to pop calve muscles periodically. Thing is my knees are extremely sore to even kneel or put any pressure on them. And now i'm into standup paddleboarding so I need to be able to kneel to do that (at least be able to do it for a little while). What happens is when my legs are straight for too long or when my body weight is on the knee, they not only hurt but they swell. So with these stretches should the swelling ease over time too?

Its always hard to comment on specific cases over the internet Lisa, but what I can say is that the more slack you can feed into the knee from above and below, the better those knees should feel. Id expect swelling to improve but everyone is a little different :)

It hurts while doing the first stretch

For me its just all my bones…its just like a sharp pain when i put any bone directly on hard floor. All of my friends can just put their whole weight on their knees without any pain and for me, the bone itself is just pain. Maybe my bone is sensitive idk And also my bone will sometimes be bruised just by putting pressure on hard ground

It’s best to speak to someone one on one to figure it out exactly, but from a general standpoint these exercises are relatively respectful and gentle to do.

Hi mate unfortunately I can’t give specific advice over the Internet as I can’t assess you for myself from a general perspective. Pain at the back of the knee. Could mean an issue like a bakers cyst or it could be a neural thing that originates from the lower back lower back dysfunction could also cause tightness through the thighs but again it’s something that you would need someone to have assessed specifically to give you the best advice. I hope you’ve since found the answers you were looking for!

I sweat bullets when it comes to doing CPR as kneeling for me is so insanely painful, a cross between an electric shock, burning and intense pain.
