Thank for this information!!
Thank you Doctor...
Excellent suggestions, thank you for being there for us TKR warriors! Even at 10 months PO stretching still helps especially for me as a senior!
The seated chin down with leg extension is helping relieve my back! Can't believe it. Thank you.
Thanks sooo much! This helps my IT tightness.
Thank you! I had no idea that the pain on the outside of my hip was coming from the IT band.
Thanks Dr Samantha...it was a much needed video...I had a bilateral knee replacement one and half yes back....had this pain after a month of tkr in my left leg....its better now with some steroid injections...but still it hurts in some particular position...I shall try ur tips....loads of thanks

You are brilliant! That’s exactly what’s happening to me. 🙏

👍👍I do the kick out with ankle weights on, 2 lbs is all
Yes I just had knee replacement 2 months ago which then caused sciatic pain, which prevents me from doing all my rehab exercises, so terrible! My therapist has given me 3 stretches to do also. Thanks for these!

Do you recover from sciatic pain after knee replacement? My mom also having same issue.
Ok when you pointed out where the area of the pain can emanate I was literally saying to myself that was the exact area it bothers me the most.
Dr. Sam: I'm almost 65, have a spinal cord stimulator for my sciatica and had my R. Knee replacement 9 months ago. The sciatica will still flare up for about a week if I do something I shouldn't and runs down the back of the right legs. Can the stretch shown help? Thanks.
What about pain in the opposite leg?
Hi Dr. Smith, I have pain in my kneecap for the surgical leg and a lot of tightness and stiffness in in around and on top. Is there something I could do or use in regards to stretching to alleviate some of that? Thank you, Mel Kamuda .
