I cannot believe how helpful these simple exercises have been for me. The knee pain started to lesson by the third day, and even the hips feel better. Jessica has helped me with back pain (gone) and with her general Pilates videos. She is a treasure.

Yes, I was just doing the stretching and fallowing along. This feels good. Thanks!

Hi Jessica! I just started my weight loss journey and managed to injure my knee in the first week (big whoops) I felt so discouraged that my routine was now disrupted, but the exercises u provided in this video helped me get my knees back to 100% just after 3 days 💛 thankyou for the work that you do, God bless 💛💛

Thank You Jessica. I tried the Quad Set and the pain just went away. I can get back to running again. I can't thank you enough.

Thats great!

I over extended my leg doing cardio kickboxing 6 days ago. The pain was in the back of my leg behind my knee and wasn't getting better. I did these exercises last night and this morning and my leg feels so much better already.

These are really helping my knees feel better! Thank you so much!

Very helpful! My knee pain has recently been returning and I needed a refresher from PT I did years ago. These exercises are almost identical. thank you!

Great!

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed for my quads! I need to strengthen them because of my patellar tracking issues! It has made things so much easier when I do circuit and yoga!

I was having a difficult time walking due to my knee pain after a run last week. Then I returned to work as a CNA the next day for the first time in three months from family medical leave. That was rough. I did these yesterday and my knee pain improved significantly. Thank you so much.

I was going to leave a silly comment saying "just thinking about these exercises made my knee pain better", but i've been doing them every evening for a week now and my knees are about 95% better, so i guess what I'm going to say is thank you Jessica for helping me with my achy knees!

Omg thanks so much its so helpful! I am having patellofemoral pain from squating and glad that I found you. xx

Thank you so much. First saw your video three nights ago and it has help with my knee pain the very next day. You are doing great work, keep it up.

Thank you so much for your videos, I started doing these yesterday as I'm training for a marathon and my knees are a issue after 20 miles, they felt pretty good today after doing these exercises.. Thank you 👍

I just mimicked the workouts on a bar stool as I was watching so I could do them full out a little later and I immediately feel relief! I am BLOWN AWAY! Thank you so much, Jessica...now I can get back to training for my marathon!

This is perfect! I've been having some pretty gnarly knee pain recently that im about 95% sure has more to do with having been more sedentary for a couple months than anything else. FIgured I oughta try some knee-specific exercises before paying to go to the doctor without insurance!

Thanks for this. I tried some of it while watching and It felt nice on my knees. I'll definitely do this using the guides and repetitions you shared. 😊

Yes, knee strengthening without weights. Thx

Jessica, these exercises have helped me so much. Thankyou!

Thanks Jessica, this is so relevant for me at 60 and having just injured my knee. The high reps has really made a difference. thank you so much, god bless.

Thanks! On one of those I can feel exactly where the issue is.

Thank you very much it's very helps. I had stab pain, maybe not blocking my knee, but i felt disconfort before running, and squatting with weights during gym excersises.

these exercise helps me to get rid off from swelling as well thank you:-P

This is the 3rd day since I started these exercises, and I can already see improvements upon my knee. Thank you so much!

You save my knees ! thank you so much Jessica

this is working, thank you so much !!

thanks for the information - trying to continue athletics and prevent injury

I am so happy I found this video. I tore the meniscus in my right knee a few months ago and have been going to physical therapy without much improvement. At age 65, surgery was not the first option. I don’t want surgery, but PT hasn’t been effective. I was searching KZread for something different. I watched this and was amazed she only has 4 exercises and they’re not hard. I’ve been doing about 10 in PT, but only 2 of these. I’m going to be trying this. Anything to avoid surgery!

Thanks for putting this out!

I have been having pain in my left knee popping sensation Swelling and stiffness Pain, especially when i walk or rotate for almost 8 months and I am seeing a physical therapist for that. I just saw your video and immediately start doing these exercises. Hopefully it will help my knee 🙏 thanks for sharing

wow, I'm going to try these exercises! I have the exact Knee cap tracking issue. Thank you so much !!

Excellent explanation- competent and informative- thank you

Thank you for sharing this item Jessica

My knees were in bad shape and these exercises really helped me! The pain is gone & I’ll continue doing them to strengthen my knees. Thank you so much🙏🙏

Thank you Jessica. I pulled muscles in my rt. inner knee so affected my alignment. Swelling down so now I'm ready to follow these simple steps to recovery.

Dear Jessica many thanks for sharing the exercises which immediately relieved my discomfort after 50 reps each. So appreciate this as I can now walk with a stable knee and no pain

thank you so much! i have an acl injury and this exercises are helping me to get back on track

Thnk u so much last nyt i saw ur video and it helps me a lot.i feel better now.

Thank you soo much this video has really helped me

I’ve been doing these exercises for around 10 days and have certainly found improvement. Thanks Jessica, your videos are so very precise, clear instructions and certainly help me move more and help with posture too❤❤

Gonna do this everyday!! Even if just a little bit.. been 2-4 years with knee pain.. gotten a lot better but still there and now getting focused again on what truly matters!!

I cannot believe 1100 trolls, gave thumbs down. What were you looking for? This is basic, short, and ground breaking for most people. Because...and here are the words those 1100 hate to hear, COMMON SENSE movement, you did not like it? So sad. Thank you Jessica

I've been following your blog for a while now, and I'm always impressed with your information and advice. I'm sure these exercises will be helpful

Thank you very much !

Thank you so much Jessica!

Beautifully helpful knee video...thank you!

exactly what I was looking for. Simple, easy...and legs I can be inspired by...

Thank you, Jessica. Great channel.

I am 48 year old big girl & proud parent as well as a caregiver. When I was younger I was super active in sports. Mentally, I still think can get my athletic swagger back. Realistically, I've been walking for the past 9 weeks after a recent medical scare. As I got stronger, I built up confidence to start on the first 2 obstacles of a nice obstacle course at the park. This Sat. I felt my knee twist wrong when climbing the net. The pain was awful, the next morning I could not move . Thank you for posting this video, I was helpless without it!

Thanks a lot! I was worried that I would need surgery, but after doing this for only a week I'm able to do squats.

Hi Jessica. So glad I found your channel! It's great to find a coach who is professionally trained, teaches well, and is clear and beautiful too! There's no negative to this relationship! 😆 So, this past mid-March 2022 I had an accident snow skiing. A tumble that injured my dominant knee. It didn't swell much at all. I had some mild fluid buildup behind my knee cap for about 5 weeks, but swelling wasn'tnoticeable to anyone else or myself. I skied down the rest of the hill very slowly and could stll walk carefully, so it was minor. My first and hopefully only knee injury though. I have kept it active for these 5.5 months but didn't do anything "rehab-ish" . It has healed up about 95%. The only pain I have left is walking up stairs (hiking is okay though usually), and trying to do a full squat all the way down to the ground, like a caveman. 😆 When I stair climb or step-up, the knee hurts around the top of the kneecap. And when I squat or pull it closed in a stretch, it hurts from about the 97% full compressed position in the sides and kneecap area also. I can close it, but I can't put full weight on it. It's gotten progressively better over the 5.5 months of regular ranch chore type activities and walking, hiking, etc. I can jog on it for about 100' before I feel pain on the kneecap. Anyways, last week I spent a few minutes saving knee exercise and rehab videos on KZread and started exercising for 2.5 hours, 3 times a week, using only leg and lower core material. I do each exercise I choose for 5.5 minutes, and the move on to the next, with short 2 to 3 minute water and walking breaks in-between. So far, after 5 workouts, I'm feeling much better. And sore of course. I've never really worked out my legs beyond running and stairclimbing, so this was needed anyways. I'm 47 years of age, btw. I don't want to age with my most important area of my body being the weakest. Do you suggest anything in addition to this video training? Thanks again for your free coaching! 😘

Thank you are so smart and this has really helped my knee injury !

My knee pain went away with few minutes after doing your exercises. God bless you. you are a star. very helpful. I couldn't walk. limping. now Within minutes I am walking and moving fast. this is a miracle. bless you .

simple, instructive, good.

Thank you so much for these exercises

thank you!

Wow! This was great! My knee feels so much better after doing these exercises. Thanks!

thank you! I had an ACL knee injury years ago and slacking on PT back then really came back to bite me. I'm definitely going to be incorporating these exercises into my day to get some of that strength back

Very helpful, and well described, thanks!
