You guys are awesome...I'ver recovered from my many running injuries over the years by watching your videos

Hi, Bob And Brad. You two are to be admired for your very helpful rehab program.,I was strengthening my leg muscles before left foot surgery about 4 weeks ago. I needed a strong left leg since I will be on a scooter. I immediately went to the massage therapist in my Chiropracter’s office. Now I am ready for strengthening and will start with your exercises. All rehab for me is complicated by fibromyalgia. One symptom has always been weak muscle tone which I have fought against for years with swimming and mild weight training.

your videos are actually really helpful

Hey guys, You do a fabulous job. I'm a PT of your era also, having graduated in 2002. Watching myself hiking and walking up stairs always made me wonder about that, "no knee past toes " idea. I recently looked up the research on it again, first time was like 2005, and was happy to see some clarification. It seems that as long as the hip and back control is good goong over the knees is not a problem. Again, check yoir knnes up stairs and while hiking. Again, that's for the good info, Darren

Wonderful, thanks, really appreciate it. You two are such a vibe.

That hand massage works so well, thank you !

Hey may I ask did you still run after you've found out your quadriceps tendinitis? I guess I'm having exactly the same issue as you had 5 years ago. Running doesn't trigger the pain but bending does. I've been abandoned my leg days for 2 weeks now but I still run almost everyday and I just don't feel like to quit running 🥲 but at the same time I afraid that the quad tendinitis may not get better due to my running routine. pls tell me your experience about how to get better as a runner. Thx 😊 🙏

That sounds exactly what I'm going through right now paying every time I've been my knees but not on the knees themselves but above the knees this happened from doing jumping exercises and plyometrics using improper technique and not starting slow I right away went into the high intense stuff and my knees have been hurting for more than 2 months now, I hope these videos can help me too because the doctor just wants to give me pain meds and I'm not going to take them because I want to cure the problem not mask the pain

Thank you, God bless you 💖

I appreciated the exercises they shared. Hope they help because I have had pain in my upper and lower quad for more than one year when I walk or stand still for any period of time. It also hurts when swimming although I ride a bike about 25 miles 3 days a week with no pain.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS ABOUT KNEES EXCERCIS IT HELPED MY KNEE SO MUCH I AM ABLE TO WALK WITHOUT PAIN

I'm no doctor but I think the reason this keeps happening is because people don't stretch before sports, I think the reason behind this is because the muscles are not prepared for instant action and need time to prepare, take care everyone

Thanks for the video!

These videos are so good. Could you do more videos on quad tendonitis?

great video guys!!

To do the eccentric squat I find that standing on the second to the bottom stair works well. You squat down as shown, then at the bottom you step down a step which essentially helps straighten the legs back out, with the straighter legs along with pulling up on the rail or post you can stand back up with little concentric force.

love you guys, thank you!

This is the 4th time I’ve been to a different video this year

Thanks guys. My dog whiplashed me (greyhound) about a month ago and although I've seen an orthopedist I can't get in to PT for anything as a new patient. Irritating. Ended up with a full right leg injury and right shoulder - so I'm using your videos instead. It's better but my right thigh still gives out. Thanks much.

Hi Guys! Thanks so much for doing this video. Been having this issue for the longest time from cycling .. with your video and various other sources .. with some deduction .. figured the likely causes: 1) I'm not riding as regularly and hence likely muscles are weakening 2) I'm not as religiously doing stretches before each ride .. hence flexibility is compromised 3) I tend to do a lot of start-stops as I'm doing long distances riding .. often thru busy streets .. and I'm starting with my bike from stationery with my right leg bent. So the stress during each start is greater. Will start on the stretches and the strenthening excercises you've shown .. and hopefully will be able to enjoy those painless rides I used to have .. soon :)

Is there a reason you keep the knees from going over the toes? Is it just for rehab or do you think knees over toes squatting is unsafe at all times?

I unfortunately kept working heavy squats for about 2 months after my first signs of tendonitis. I'd never had it before so I didn't know what I was facing. Would these types of exercises also be useful for longer term tendonosis? I'm really antsy to get back to squatting. Thanks for your help!

How long should you rest and recover for before starting these exercises if you have a mild strain/tear??

What about not being able to bend the knee much due to swelling and pain in the back crease of the knee on the back of the leg, then in a week or so its fine , that is if im not up on it a lot, feels like something twisted back there. Sure would appreciate any thoughts you might have on this and sure do thank yall for the awesome videos.....

What I thought was QT was actually a small stress reaction of the femur there! (had bone scan) not so common, I know. But the pain and swelling is back almost two years later because for the last year I’ve been dealing with strained medial hamstrings where they meet behind the knee and I guess quad is compensating and overworked.

I have quad tendinosis in both knees. Do you think adding Graston Technique in addition to eccentric squats would be helpful?

Thanks for the great video. I subscribed and will watch many more of your videos. So I am a tennis player and developed tendinitis above my left knee about a year ago. It felt like a tear when it happened but two doctors visits and some xrays later said there was no tear, although I did not have an MRI. It's gotten 90% better since but has plateaued. I ice, take Advil, heat, stretch, slow squats, massage, use a pulsing mechanism, but it's just not getting better. I have full strength with my legs straight but as I go down to say bending my knees about 30 degrees from the straight position, I lose nearly all of my strength. I play tennis regularly but cannot stop and switch directions quickly (that's how I hurt it in the first place), which is why I play more doubles these days. I had taken some serious time off but it didn't really help. What do you recommend I do? Thank you

how would I know if I have a rrctus formoris tear in my hip

Hey Bob and Brad, great video as always. Def gonna start these today. Quick question I had though is what kind of cardio can I do while doing the massage and rehab exercises? The bike and eliptical irritate it (actually those are what caused this to begin with) and I don't have access to a pool. Would just a brisk walk on a flat surface be ok? Or does cardio needed eliminated completely?

Hi guys, how often should I do these exercises? My pain is at the top of my kneecap towards the outside. It's raised on my kneecap compared to the other one.

The second exercise you demonstrate is how I injured my quad in the right leg. Now I can not raise my leg or foot off the floor while in a sitting position. Very painful.

Dear Bob Schrupp and Brad Heineck .I have a partial tear on my quadriceps tendon Is it necessary to do a surgery or the tear will recover without it? thanks!

If you struggle more with stand to sitting but you are able to lift from a chair easily what can you do? I find at a certain point my toes lift as i try to get a little lower causing me to loose balance. But i know it is not good to put my knees over my toes. Also how would you keep your knees from wobbling side to side when doing a leg press machine?

I feel numbness on the knee for really long time now (there's still inflammation) (~7 months), but I haven't been doing any PT. And continuing my Aikido practice, pretty much every day. Did I make it worse? Can I still do this PT to heal my knee?

So I tore my quad about 3-4 weeks ago. I'm finally able to put some weight on it. But I still can't do any of these exercises. I think the main reason is because I've had multiple hip replacements and hip surgeries on the same side as the quad tear. So it would be hard to do these exercises without the tear because of all the surgeries. Is there any other exercises recommended I can do? Or am I basically stuck until it heals up on it's own?

Hoping watching this sorts my injured quads out. Every other day they feel like they are tearing 🥺🥺

what is the muscle above the quadriceps, that's where I experience the most pain and it feels like a knot, I've massaged it and tried to stretch it out before I play kickball when I kick or begin to run the pain becomes worse what can I do to get rid of the knot and pain? I had gastric bypass surgery 2 years ago so I really don't want to give up playing but I think I might have to! any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have pain that must be the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) of my right knee.

would this be a great idea to stretch something that is already tear?

After how much time should I perform these exercises after injury? I strained my quad tendon yesterday just a minor strain but it's still messing up with my walking.

Can you use running weights,if injury was 15 years ago...

2 weeks out of surgery still cant raise my leg, you should start with the very basics after surgery. no can do this after surgery on a full tear. good luck but no help for me

+physicaltherapyvideo Thanks for replying back! Sorry to bother you guys again but I forgot to mention these details. I didn't do any exercises for a period of one month since I had gastritis. Everything felt normal until, as mentioned, I did a one-legged knee bend with all my weight on it. Afterwards, it would hurt whenever I bend it in a certain angle and always at that angle (around 45 degrees). The pain is towards the top of the kneecap (maybe in the quadriceps tendon?) and at times it feels like under my kneecap (but still on the upper part). What do you think I can do in the mean time since resting seemed to not fully heal it? You guys said it could be nothing serious so do you think i can rule out an acl or meniscus tear? Sorry for asking a lot of questions....

Hello. i'm a basketball player and i have a torn tendon . i actucally did a prp injection and now i sterted the rehab. im doing the exercises and dont feel pain while im doing it but the next day i do. spaically when im raising my leg to do a quad strech. should i keep doing the exercises? second, the tendon is still very swollen and stiff. how can i make it loose again? thanks!

you don't mention how long to do the exercise for or how many reps in each session?

have not been to the doc yet but i'm pretty sure this is what i've been dealing with. Would this tendonitis also make my knee feel extremely weak? Like it will give out any second?

no problem. I have a few questions though. When trying to balance quad and patella tendonopothy how would you recommend balancing the exercises? I am doing eccentric squats on a slanted board for the patella tendon and am doing drop squats on a 1.5 inch block for the quad (the one in the video) throughout the week, So usually I work the quad tendon one day and the patella tendon the other day. But I am not sure if this is working because my quad tendon has been hurting more. How would you recommend balancing these exercises because surely I would work the tendons in the same way whilst doing the eccentrics as they are both eccentric exercises? Also whilst doing the eccentrics, I wouldn't say its a sharp pain but I can really feel it when squatting down, is this ok? Thanks

The intro song though 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was in a cycle/truck crash where my left quad was cut/torn at a 45 degree angle from the top of my kneecap about 3 1/2 inches towards my femur and my quad tendon ruptured. The doctor had my leg in a brace for around 3 weeks before I started sleeping without it and soon ditched it altogether. I have zero trouble keeping my leg straight and it seems fairly robust, plus I'm walking around 2km day. The thing for myself is when can I begin trying to bend the knee, it can bend a few degrees but I'm hesitant to get aggressive at all with it. I'm in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and the surgeon seems reluctant to give me any time line. I'm 66 but have been a competitive cyclist for 35 plus years, and so far the other surgeons, one for my compound fracture of my forearm and my neurosurgeon, for my skull injury have been astounded at the pace of my recovery, my head is fully recovered, as is the arm, including not requiring a skin graft...
