Do you say that to Amazon when they offer you cheaper alternatives? These guys need to eat. If they have shown you something that helps and it costs you nothing, how would you like them to feed their families. I'm always stunned at the people that have no problem paying Target, Walmart or Amazon $$ yet 2 guys trying to make it in business for their families would be "unethical" if they only showed you how they could help you. It's time to understand just what a small business is before they're all gone, but those looking for "free" will never understand paying

@@catherinegray1367 For real ?! 🙄 I'm just coming across this video now~ (ergo, your comment ...) following their latest I had viewed (with Mike) that just came out on knees... While I understand what you're saying from a business stance, it reveals some cluelessness on the point the other commenter was relaying. I don't believe Bob & Brad are relying on feeding their families with the profits of their KZread videos. Certainly there will be income from their products sold this way, yet it seems from the start of their KZread channel, they've been all about sharing their knowledge and information with others WITHOUT the expectation of monetary gain. Please keep this in mind when viewers express their appreciation for Bob & Brad and others with hearts for helping people. 🙂
awwww...watching this again for some knee pain and I miss Bob so much!! Hope he is doing well...thank you Bob and Brad for being my go to online therapists!
I love you guys!!! Today I searched your site for knees and found excellent demo. Thank you so much. I’m grateful to be able to find you two whenever I search.
Thank You Bob and Brad! These excersises are game changers for me! 😊
I've been following your advice and my knee is heaps better already. I didn't go to the doctor basically because he's not doing face to face consultations because of covid. I am glad that I didn't go down the surgical route. Your way is the best! Thanks guys, you have a life long fan. Sam Newmarket UK 🇬🇧

Thank God u didn't undergo surgery , I have a suggestion if you r interested,regarding knee.
I like the exercises on this video a lot! Many are close to the exercises my PTs are having me do at therapy! They are working on muscles I was not using correctly. I am making amazing progress in strength and becoming more pain free. I am moving and using my body more correctly during my day. Wonderful, and thanks, guys!!
Don't do squats unless you are using your glutes - I started doing squats and my knees got much more painful because I was working my quads too much, they got so tight and put pressure on my knees.
You guys are the best! My knee pain has had me limping and in excruitating pain. After doing your knee extention exercises my pain is so much less. Thank you,thank you,thank you. Ill be doing your exercises regularly.
Very sensible exercises. Thanks a million!
Love your exercises! They help!
Thank you guys I miss Bob!! You guys helped me get through the pandemic
This is an EXCELLENT video !
You are THE BEST! Thank you soooooo much for ALL you your effort for all us...really amazing! God bless you!
Subscribed! Did this today, so helpful. Thanks!
The best exercise for the knees in my opinion is as follows..... Sit on a high bench that prevents your feet from touching the floor..... Sit on the edge like Bob is doing on the table at the beginning of this video.... Before you sit up there strap on a pair for five to seven pound ankle weights and just let your lower legs hang down off the bench..... No need to engage the quads by lifting the feet at all.... Just rock your feet back and forth about six to eight inches like a child would do..... This will allow the synovial fluid to move in and out of the joint because the weight will allow the joint to open ever so slightly..... There is hardly any effort to this at all.... It's all about the motion and allowing the synovial fluid to go in and pout of the joint.... I started doing this for 10 to 15 minutes a day and not only did it stop my knee pain but also realigned my lower leg to where it should be.... You only need to so this a few times a week at first and then, only as you feel the need from time to time after that.....

Along with generally bad knees, I'm trying to heal from a torn meniscus. Meniscus tears take forever to heal due to circulation issues. This might save my knees! So thank you so much for it!
I will definitely do this exercise, my knee hurts more but also, a few months I sprained my ankle ; and so now my ankle hurts and my knee hurts worst. I think it’s cause of my ankle. Thank you so much Bob and brad. ❤️👍🏼
You guys are great. helped me alot with my dirtbike accident injury to my knee .thanks
really helpful. Thanks guys.
I absolutely love you fellas, thankyou for everything
I had three plus months of immobile knee due to a broken leg and surgery. Needed this.
Two thumbs up. Well thought out video.
You guys are great you know how hurt people feel. We dont have the range of motion we should have nor the strength and its ok......start slow and just go!
these professional guy videos always help.
The Flige suspension trainer is awesome and I highly recommend getting one!
U guys are helpful!!!!
Thank you!!!
Found your video at a great time! I started attending Zoom workout classes a few months ago, and I have been having a lot lot of knee pain every time I do squats and lunges and it has been getting worse. I was just thinking about just quitting altogether, but after watching this, I can modify my exercises and continue to work out. Thanks!

Thank you I feel much relief 🙏🏼😊
Hi Fellas, This morning I was watching in bed while icing my knee. After I had taken Tramadol and 500 mg if Tylenol. I haven’t found relief in days. You demonstrated a quick simple exercise, foot up on chair holding and supporting both sides of the knee, gently twisting inward. I would have NEVER twisted my painful knee. First, it didn’t hurt secondly it was better and pain free in seconds, I didn’t even do reps! You are the absolute BEST! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart 💜

I love you guys, now I have had both of my knees replaced, I do all your exercises and yes, they really work, wish you guys were in Australia, but thank God I can watch you on KZread, thanks for all your help, keep the knee exercises coming, cheers from Sth Australia.
I appreciate all the help. I have water on my right knee. Hoping that these moves help. Regards,to both.
Thank you gentlemen!!!! Is it a good idea to do these daily? I’m motivated and determined to get strong again.
This was right on time. Glad I subscribed before. I recently hurt my knee and realized it was tendinitis 🤦🏾♀️ So it's taking longer to heal and it's harder to strengthen those muscles without taxing it too hard. The leg raises are gold and I'll be repping out on those to get my quads stronger.

5:21 I am surprised they did not suggest doing this...(I give props to Margaret Richard, the host of "Body Electric," the queen of proper form for this most helpful tip). On those inner thigh leg raises, to make this exercise a ton more comfortable: place a small plastic but somewhat squishy ball (you can get them at dollar stores), a pillow, a foam roller, or a hand weight underneath the knee you are not working.You will be able to lift the working inner thigh higher, and it will help your body stay in better alignment. It's waayyy more comfortable than the demo B & B gave on this! Hope they give it a try too they might hate it less, lol!
Love the options for those to help offload - so not full body weight for those a bit.... round, or with particular weak musles
when he literally skipped I lost it :D you guys are awesome, thank you

You mention that a weak joint often depends upon the joints either side of the weak spot. Do you have a video that addresses a set of exercises that would target the hip joint, the knee joint and the ankles? I see some hip work here, but are any of these moves also sufficient to address ankle weakness? Is there an ankle exercise that I could add? Thanks! You guys are awesome. I became a fan 7 years ago when I found your video on hanging like a monkey to relieve shoulder pain.

Ive done some of the exercises for a few days but i dont think its helping injuries. Lifting my legs up and down causes clicking noises in groin and pain. And in knees. I really need physio but im too anxious to go. Walking results in more pain. So depressed, feeling like im 95 and resdy for the grave 😩
Hi Guys, your videos are the best, i have been watching for years. However, this new white screen video that I watched on my smart tv hurts my eyes, and may interfere with sleep if I watch you in the early evening because of the blue light. Your "in the PT room" videos are highly preferred. I bought the McKenzie books and the soft pollers you endorsed. Please go back to the PT room!

Should I do this even if my knee crunches like Rice Krispies? Sounds like a peanut cracking in there. Doesn’t hurt, but the sound is alarming.
Hey you two! Can you talk to me about my knees and elbows locking and then making a sharp “click” sound? I constantly feel both locking up and then a LOUD crack sound happens. What is happening? It is very painful at times and at other times it is mild. It happens daily. I was hoping for some insight into this issue and will it grow worse as I grow older? I am 50 years old now. I was extremely athletic growing up. Also, have you addressed Bursitis in hips in any videos? I have both hips with that condition. I watch your videos often because I have 8 fused vertebrae in my spine. I thoroughly enjoy your simple techniques for my beat up joints. No one will touch me after all the surgeries I have had...oh and including my right rotator cuff! 30 years of sports really did a number on me! Hugs and love from NY!❤️🙏🏻 PS....I have to wake up in the middle of the night to crack my right knee the most. THANK YOU!
Love it when there's nothing you have to buy....🤔
HEY GUYS
I can hardly move my legs at all. Saw an orthopaedic surgeon was told left knee fused. Right knee has a little bit of movement. Both legs won't bend or straighten all the way. Use a wheelchair.
I got muscle spasms in my left leg & i have muscle weakness in my left hand, I also walk with pressure on my right leg because I drag my left leg & I can't feel it sometimes and it shakes uncontrollably
