I had been praying to God, asking him to ease my pain, and today while opening KZread, this video popped up. I went out side to try this out on my stairs, and I am so grateful that this actually worked. Wow Dr. David, you are a Godsend. Prayer does work and so does this technique. Thank you so much.

So I am now trying it with your method and I can instantly feel a difference and the pain is definitely reduced. Thanks and I am passing this link along to friends who could use the help!

You are my new hero. I'm 76 and my inner knee pain has been so bad for the last month that it has been making me an invalid. I watched a few of your videos yesterday and within an hour or so, after following your tips, I am now practically pain free. The pain was so bad that I was constantly repositioning my legs for relief. Now I very consciously sit with my feet turned out and my knees outside my feet...no pain.

I’ve always did yoga/Pilates for 50 years. The best thing that helped my inflamed knees was getting the flu and was going from my bed to my couch for about a week. My knees were pain free and swelling was gone! Thank you for showing me how to save my knees so I don’t have to have surgery or forced to move out of my house! You’re exactly the physiotherapist that I’ve been looking for for the last 6 months! BTW I’m Canadian from Windsor Ontario!

This really works! I’ve been doing this for a couple of weeks and I’m totally better and not avoiding the stairs as before. I was convinced I was headed for knee surgery like so many in my family. A big thank you for this great technique!!

I was very skeptical. I've had severe knee pain from climbing stairs. I'm 70 years old. I immediately tried this test, and it freaking worked! I now almost want to start climbing stairs again, to get my knees, gluts and ankles back into shape. I am amazed at this technique. Thank you for sharing!

Almost a year in pain! 2 doctors, 3 different physical therapy places and NADA! I have goose foot tendinitis and meniscus tear! I even got a personal trainer to strengthen up my quads of all things! AS THAT IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME TO DO!! coming across David and el Paso just searching on internet has been the best thing that has happened to me this year! my whole lifestyle had been upended! I am an avid traveller and travelling in pain is no fun! I cannot believe that the so called professionals have never advised me to work on my glutes!! I will sign up for the 28 day course today or tomorrow as I feel so much better only after only a few days following David's advice. I feel on top of the world! Thank you David and all El Paso team! You really have been a sort of miracle for me!

I sometimes have medial right knee pain when going down stairs and walking counterclockwise, and a history of knee arthritis. I would be considered "old," but active. I came online, today, to find a 'different way to walk', to alleviate the pain, not do a bunch of exercises unrelated to my personal issue. I found it right here!!! Using the techniques described, I no longer have pain associated with the above-described motions! Amazing! I've viewed several more videos, by this channel, and they offer such good advice. Thank you so much, Dr. David!

Dr. David, this is wonderful! Will try this right away (thirteen stairs in and out of my basement apartment). I also love the fact that you get right to the point! (instead of spending 5 to 10 minutes telling us what you are going to do!!)

I experienced tightness and pain around my knee during and after a 4-mile run. I’m 54, and it felt like my knee twisted slightly. After a week or two of limping around with limited mobility and pain, I visited an orthopedic doctor, who took ex-rays and diagnosed it as arthritis. The sensitive pain when feeling on the inner lower part of my knee and your explanation of a tibia shift is exactly what I was experiencing, and the exercise you recommended was a game-changer! Next time that I’m injured, I think I’ll visit a physical therapist doctor instead! Thank you.

OMG!! I HAVE BEEN HAVING VERY PAINFUL KNEE PROBLEMS THE PAST FEW YEARS ESPECIALLY WHENEVER I GO HIKING WHICH I DO VERY OFTEN. And I was told to point my feet the direction I was heading! It's been getting worse to the point where I couldn't hike at all. Thank you for the video! I am going to do as you instructed from now on. I hope it works for me!!!

This was the best advice I've gotten from anyone. I've been doing it since I saw the video a few days ago and NO knee pain. That's amazing since I was, literally, dragging myself up and down stairs for years. Got brave (or stupid) and tried climbing a ladder to adjust my outdoor security system. With feet out, I could climb a ladder again. Have also been doing other exercises Dr. Dave recommended in other knee videos and I've felt less and less pain, daily. I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am. At 69 I was terrified that I was doomed to knee surgery. Thanks so much Dr. Dave. You're a miracle worker! Going in to do the exercises now. Don't want to let up on them. :-)

We're glad that pointing your toes outward has helped to reduce your pain. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're rooting for your continued progress and hope that you find even more relief in the days ahead. Keep up the great work!🙌

Thanks for this video! Stairs are impossible for me. Descending I must go sideways and ascending it's like a toddler - strong leg goes up, weak leg follows. I cannot use the weak leg to go up at all even after watching this video. What I CAN do is walk better! I had no idea about walking "turned out" like a dancer (or a duck, as the case may be). I still need something to push when I walk like a grocery cart or a walker, but my god the difference is incredible! I'm so excited about this because I'm sedentary and I don't like it at all. I WANT to get moving and I think this piece of advice is the (literal) first step. Now it's on to more glute work - who knew? I'm just grateful because "the experts" have been pushing "strengthening the quads" and I know very well that my quads are quite strong already, tyvm. Thank you so much! I'm so glad you popped up on my feed. I've got work to do. 💪

This is what I would do instinctively when I had to carry something heavy up or down stairs. Makes sense. One step at a time.

I’m trying this and the exercises. Amazing difference so far. No pain or very little.

Found your videos yesterday when I typed in exercises for chondromalacia and I am so very glad. The list of exercises my doctor gave me to do felt counterintuitive and ended up causing me more pain. Your video about exercises you should and shouldn't do almost made me cry. I knew those weren't the right exercises for me, and I even noticed when I worked on glute strengthening the pressure on my knees wasn't as bad. I had already been trying to walk up and down the stars using my glutes and just gave up and started going backwards (watched that video right before this one). This is what I needed to see. I was on the right track but didn't have my feet positioned right. Thank you so much for your series of videos on chondromalacia patella. I've been in so much pain for the past few weeks and everything I was told to do except for ice and heat just made it worse.

Hey Marina! We're glad you like the video :-) Quads typically don't need to be strengthened in an isolated position. You can usually work them in other exercises.

Can't wait to try this. Here in NYC, every subway station, below ground or elevated (over 70 of them) has steps, you can't avoid them. Add carrying shopping bags, brief cases, bundles or those lead pocketbooks 🙃😊, you want to cry. Buses are better because they open level with the curb (they finally got rid of those 10-12" high inside steps) but knee pain is knee pain if you are stepping over a string on the ground. I am sure this proper way or ascending and decending stairs along with the glute strengthening exercises are going to make a big difference. I will keep you posted.

Hey Ok Write, yes this happens too frequently where physios don't pay much attention to what muscle is firing. It's just not taught in schools normally so they don't think to do it normally. It's a specialist level of thinking most of the time and it makes the world of a difference for treating people without surgery, injections and medications.

Had a knee replacement two years back and stairs have been a issue with that knee and the other that hurts at times. Glad I seen this and it does make it better. Thank you 🙏

These exercises are extremely helpful. No pain in my knees now 🙏

You are simply amazing! I’m dealing with a flare up of an ITB syndrome which makes stairs challenging. Turning my feet out to take pressure off my knees changed everything. BTW, I used to complain that stairs were too shallow for my size 10 shoes. Now, by turning my feet out, the stairs fit! Cool. This way of doing stairs also helps with my balance. So many unexpected benefits. Thanks so much!

I like your knee pain videos which I have been watching. Never heard of this advice but will use from now on. Thanks.

I'll sure try this. I'm 61, have had a painful knee for about 25 years, now the other is acting up. My "good knee" has become my "bad knee".

Oh no, sorry to hear about your good knee becoming your bad knee Mequiades :-( Yes give this a try to see if you feel better going up and down stairs. You also need to start working on your glutes to get that longer-term relief for both knees. Have you tried our exercises for that? “Top 5 Glute Muscle Exercises For Knee Pain” kzread.info/dash/bejne/gIyYpcyNYrTaeqQ.html

Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏

I have noticed so many videos on here have titles like "instantly fix..." and I hope it is clear that it is not possible to fix most medical problems "instantly". Yes, the narrator here immediately gives a disclaimer and says this is in fact just the first step to long term improvement, and i give him credit for that.

What a lesson. I need to listen to my body. My knee always wants to turn out 45 degrees and I am fighting with my body to keep my knee straight in front of me. I don't even know why, I guess I was taught that somewhere along lifes way. What the heck was I doing???? I am so thankful for this video and Dr. David, because this all makes sense.

Thank you so much for teaching how to climb the stairs without putting pressure on my knees. I'm so grateful for your help.I really appreciate you are taking the time to show how to climb the stairs in a way that won't hurt my knees. I feel so much better now that I know how to do it." Your advice has been incredibly helpful. I'm feeling much more confident about climbing stairs now." you are really explain things to clear.I really appreciate that."Thank you for your patience and understanding. you were always so helpful

I am pleased to say that just by turning my feet outward, I can actually master the stairs. This technique has given me new confidence for taking on stairs. I fell lightly yesterday leaving the hairstylist which is what led me to start researching help on KZread. Keep the advice coming for people who've had severe knee falls and want to continue thriving.
