I've had debilitating pain in my knees for years now. I used to hike, climb mountains, and work out. Then I couldn't do a flight of stairs and went on to gain 50 lbs over 5 years. I went to physio, no help. I really gave up and thought that surgery might be the only option. I was doing a little online research. Found this video. Bought a massager. And now, 4 months on, I'm running again, doing yoga, losing weight. What a god sent. Thanks so much you guys!

Omg I can’t walk for 3rd week cuz of pain behind the knee. Should I do light exercises or rest?

Hey Bob, Brad! You have saved me from great discomfort. I developed tendonitis in March this year and tried every possible thing I could think of. But after watching this video I tried your way of massaging above my knee and... TADA!!! I did this for only about 4 to 5 times and now the stiffness has completely gone. I express my gratitude ❤️. Thank you very much.

You guys don’t know how many people you help. You guys are an angel.thanks.

Wow, I’ve been dealing with pain above my knee for days. After some googling I found out it’s diabetic tendinitis and I ran across your video. I just did some cross friction massage for about 30 seconds with just my fingers and it’s already started to take the edge off. Thank you! It really hurt!

Bob and Brads advice cured my frozen shoulder and got my hand and wrist mobile following a break. They are the best, share with everyone. Thank you guys, you are a true blessing. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

This video is gold to me. I’m 25 trying to make my comeback and this has helped so much

I’ve been in pain for the last three weeks and this is so amazing. Thank you.

Thank You guys for this! Y'all were helpful with my rotator cuff impingement and SLAP tear on one side. Now...based on self diagnosis .....I think I have this in my left knee. I'm in my mid fifties and like a dumby; I do heavy front squats and dead lifts....I know not recommended at my age....I give my self plenty of recovery. I day a week I do dead lifts, then the next week front squats and alternate each week. I do famer carries about 1 or 2 times a week. I do full upper body training in between. I just ordered some knee compression sleeves for every day activities. I'm not going to do anything to exacerbate my knee. I just ordered the mini massage gun. If I don't notice it getting better over time, then to my Dr. Thank Y'all again! Have Mercy, does getting old just plain stink!!!! I'll be watching the rehab for this videos next.

My quad has been hurting for a month. I did the cross massage with a massage gun and feels almost completely better!! Thank you!!!

Y'alls channel is literally a miracle for me

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Been nursing a bum knee for more than a year that never seemed to get completely well (didn't get worse either, though). Turns out it was my quad affecting my knee, not my knee affecting my quad. Did the massage for 15 minutes, feel 21 again! Well, maybe 51, but better. Thank you so much!

Blessing to the both of you. I've had this for about 10 years are jarring both knee caps slipping down a 2" step in poor light. I was in agony for months.... couldn't stand still for too long and couldn't sit for too long and I have to drive a some long distances in my job. My doctor just said take some pain killers and rest it, it calmed down but never fully healed. Now I'm 58 and the ache and stiffness to bend is getting really bad again, doing a few bodyweight squats helps to relieve the stiffness but unfortunately the pain is always there and when bad it's transmitted up into my thighs. I'm sure it's a build up of scar tissue because it's never been treated properly. I have a massage gun so will be using the side technique as you instructed and hopefully that will help bring about the healing I need. God bless you both

Love those quotes and your videos are always helpful. Thanks

Bob & Brad you are the best! I am highly appreciative of what you guys do for us, and have certainly helped me out.

Thank you for this!!! My quad was aching right down by my knee right after a workout. This helped relieve pain immediately.

Just found these guys. Thought they were a bit cheesy at first, but dang they know their stuff. This is great! I'm subscribing today.

NO WAY!!!! I’ve been having very painful tendinitis for the last 3 weeks or so to the point that I’m pretty much scared for leg day or even bend my knees to pick something up though out my day! After one single massage it feels like I’ve never had pain it’s insane!! Thank you so much 🥰🥳

thanku sir.. your voice is my positive affirmation ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely amazing, have had pain in my right leg going on nearly a year now, I think it's from driving, started shooting down below the knee.....couldn't even lift my knee when standing to a 90 degree angle. Massaged the muscles across below my buttocks, so tender, did it for 15 minutes already I can feel relief when lifting my knee. Will keep going. I want to run again and lose weight. Thanks guys!!!

You guys make watching videos a lot of fun 😅 On a serious note I started vigorously massaging my leg while first watching your and it feels incredibly better!!

Thank you so much for this video. I already feel better.

Today is day 7 of my injury and I wish I had found this video earlier because I found this video 15 mins ago and I confidently can say I feel A LOT BETTER already.

Thank you for what you do. Without this video I would probably still be in pain. Subscribing forever

Thank you very much, the masage worked!

I literally thought my tendons were teared on Leg day and it scared the hell out of me... Thanks to you sir i finally got control and able to raise my knee

This actually works thank you.

Best of luck dude, I’m an athlete who just graduated high school and plans on playing football and wrestling in college. I’ve been dealing with quadricep tendonitis in both legs for almost a year now, and over the past couple months it has gotten progressively worse and essentially put all my training on hold. The hardest part was simply figuring out what was wrong, but finding treatment has been a struggle too. It’s no joke, I hope you can find something that can give you some relief because the amount it affects my day to day life is shocking

Bob & Brad, have been watching you videos for 3 years now love it, very helpful with my TKA recovery Now my PT was too aggressive,demanding 30 reps of exercises ,although I was telling me it’s very painful burning, he wouldn’t care I injured my quad,it’s third day,it’s bruising now. So painful with any movement,flexing,walking. Do I need to go to ER? I am elderly also 5 wks post TKA with MI & stent

Thanks alot . I was not able to lift my right thighs from past 2 weeks . With 15 minutes of massage . I am able to lift my thighs now . Need some more massaging . But thanks alot to both of you . Stay blessed ❣️❣️

I like these guy. Thanks

I just purchased this gun, how long should you use it on the quadricep area? I pray this works.

If I wanna use ice as well during the day, shall I use it b4, after, or away from this treatment? Thx Bob & Brad you're awesome!

Thanks guys

I used a butter knife the round handle part and oil and scrap the scar tissue. My quad tendinitis is in the chronic phase so there’s not a can do to stop the pain but my method allows me to lessen it and maintain mobility. You essentially have to loosen up those adhesions. Otherwise that tendon starts to resemble a cold old rubber band, which leads to snap city my friends.

It works like butter 😘 thank you guys

Omg I have been suffering with this pain for over 4 weeks now and I couldn’t bend my knee at all and my doctor well it was a nurse I saw just looked at me and said quote “loose weight” that’s it. And sent me on my way. I searched the Internet and come across this video and oh my gosh!!!! Instant relief!!! Soooo much better I can actually bend my knee without pain!!! Xxx

After getting patella tendinitis surgery, the best exercise that I found to help strengthen and stretch out my quadriceps was the Assisted Sissy Squat, and then the Hack Squat Machine Sissy Squat (along with the usual step ups and leg extension exercises). Need to be careful though and work your way up gradually.

ThE IT is a tough tendon that probably doesn't stretch muchbwhichbis why we need to stretch massage the muscles attached to it from the hips glutes to the knee. I tried this the the first at wirk last night and I felt relief. Keep doing this w massage ice and and warmth in between and we'll be better til its ALL GONE!! 🙏🙋❤😊

Man I’ve had this for ten years now, I hope I can finally move on from it after a few months of this

So i feel inflamed in that area but in my case every time I extend and bend my leg, I get a clicking/snapping on that area. No sure what it is, definitely have a weak knee and every time I stand for a long time, I feel them very weak wanting to give out, what could the snapping be?

whenever i do squats, lunges, etc. right above my knee starts to burn and it gets gradually more painful the more i do them. is this tendonitis?

Suffer for quite long time. I hope this helps🥺🙏🏻

Something I had to learn the hard way is that just because your muscles can handle something doesn't mean your joints can.

I tore my quad tendon in 2 places had surgery 3 months ago its a long journey.

What would cause numbness in the inner left side of the knee and it's immediate surrounding leg muscle (vastus medialus muscle nearest the knee)? To exercise my hamstrings, I was doing some heavy Leg Curls (machine) in the gym and about a day after, in addition to the normal DOMS, I notice numbness in the inner part of my right knee, again, the side where the vastus medialus is. There is also some pain in the upper outer quad as well (quad femoris). The knee is also a little weak in supporting my body weight and the muscle also seems "rubber band'ish" as well as numb. Any comments or suggestions?

Can a mid-front quad tear also have symptoms where there’s spasms combined with it feeling like blood is ‘gurgling’ through a straw in middle of quad ?

Ive been trying to figure out how to fix this since a cement table fell on my leg when I was a child. It hurts so bad. Is this why I have an imbalance?
