The trick is to keep checking your knee posture often throughout the day and correct yourself each time you notice you’ve locked knees. Tuck your pelvis a little, bend the knees and engage the thigh muscles (which helps strengthen them). I found I improved knee posture quickly. I need to work on smaller strides and avoid hell walking.

I'm doubled jointed so my knees lock back further. I think I have developed crepitus from it, because my knees crunch when I bend them and squat. I had an x-ray preformed from which the results came back normal (which i assume means no noticeable damage). I then started to develop pain as well as the crunching. I had since identified the pain and concluded that I have quad tendonitis. I've been doing some cross fibre massage which seems to be helping.

I never knew there were certain things that we should avoid doing with our knees... like standing locked. Thank you Bob and Brad. You guys are awesome.

Just wondering if you've made any modifications to your car and if you don't mind the question, what sort of car do you drive? We got him a Mitsubishi Triton because it was the only car/Ute for sale at the time, that he fit in 'adequately' but most of his pain still comes from the shape of the seat and lack of leg room. In hindsight we should have tried harder to get an automatic. He uses a lumbar support cushion but it decreases the leg room slightly more. Any tips on making driving more tall person friendly?

Laurie, Longer strides exercise has different purpose, that includes the Lounges movement. You need to incorporate this exercise in daily routine. Learn to do Taichi Exercise. It covers all the exercises that these doctors mentioned. I am a Taichi Instructor for 2 decades. My students are seniors n middle-agers. These doctors ARE NOT FLEXIBLE. Very awkward looking seniors compare to my senior taichi students. The shorter ones is more typical senior...perfect to practice taichi routine. Learn to meditate with cross-legged position. All the monks do that n it never bother them with knee pains. This skinny tall doctor knows nothing about knees.

@@peacebe2u480 The monks may or may not have knee pain (you can't speak for "all monks") but the same goes for the majority of people in the past. It's the modern age that is the largest culprit regarding knee pain. We're meant to move way more than we are doing now and when we do walk/run/train we tend to do it wrong (because we do it so little), which also can result in pain. Knee pain isn't "natural" in the vast majority of cases: it's caused by an unnatural behaviour which is often related to our modern lifestyle. Taichi seems cool but it isn't some kind of perfect solution to knee pain. But you seem like a preacher so nothing I say will probably change your mind.

PT says Mine is due to hip malalignment and pelvic tilt. I’m now rethinking all the things I do (sit Criss-cross applesauces nearly all day), sleep on my side (though I do now keep a pillow between my knees), etc. It might be worth you occasionally visiting a Physical Therapist or Chiropractor to just check your alignment if you’re already hearing the pops, cracks and snaps. Just a thought. I sure wish I’d started seeing one sooner! Take care.
