    Foam rolling the quads and massage gun helps. Glute exercises also feel fine. Doing those two have started to decrease pain the past days cant do any quad exercises without pain. Should I just train glute for a month then try adding in low load quad exercises like quarter depth wall sits.

    @@joshuahankins2613 yes really sensible approach. All about symptoms, so quad loading is good but when symptoms allow. Sounds like a good idea to keep loading up gluts whilst knee symptoms settle and then increase quads load when able, along side the other adjuncts to aid pain relief

    @@GenuinePhysio Thanks will do did quarter wall sits as outlined by another physios KZread video but even that made it worse days after. So I watched the podcasts he did and in the one on patellarfemoral pain he said that if it's very irratible just do lateral hip strengthing then after go back and do easy movements that have you not going through flexion and extension like wallsits (said this exercise is very low load and best starting part after it calms down).

    If it hurts with all quad exercises would I just work glutes till I can do the exercises outlined without lots of pain. Mine is very irratable right now with any bending or sitting with bent knees. Saw videos from two other physios on KZread and both said if your not able to do quad strengthening at the moment do lateral hip strengthing and general strengthening such as lateral band walks, single leg bridges, sidelying hip abduction, toetaps etc. once pain is a lot lower do quads once knee is feeling better.

    Good question, many different answers. A few thoughts: you should feel listened to, the assessment and treatment should be a collaborative thing you complete together not something that is done to you, evidenced based narratives around manual therapy (not advising you're being realigned/put back in place - this is nonsense, and often makes you go back for multiple sessions), your treatment and plan should be completely bespoke to you and not a general one size fits all approach.

    Why is it unsafe? People with shoulder arthritis still need to be able to complete over head activity with load: putting things in shelves, hanging washing up, lifting up grandchildren. It's essentially the same movement. It needs to be completed with an appropriate level of load, particularly to begin with for sure but it's not unsafe.

  • @GenuinePhysio
    @GenuinePhysio5 ай бұрын

    Good question! Obviously these exercises are pretty generalised for osteoporosis. If you have a compression fracture my view is you need a proper assessment by an appropriate clinician prior to being given a exercise program so I haven't got any compression fracture specific videos. Exercise can certainly be part of the treatment if appropriate, so wouldn't want to put you off.

    Exercise is an absolute necessity for anyone with osteoporosis - but it needs to be the right type of exercise if improving bone density is the aim. This is a great workout for people just diagnosed with osteoporosis, especially if they are unconditioned, unfit or just starting back into exercise. What I would like is for trainers to clarify the benefits of particular exercise when they say "for osteoporosis". People assume that the exercise will directly benefit the bone. This is not the case and study after study has shown that not all weight-bearing exercises are equal when it comes to improving bone density - or put another way, just because an exercise/movement is weight bearing does not mean it can improve bone density. They might improve cardio and muscle, but you need to take it a step further if you want the exercise to actually stimulate bone. Walking, jogging and even running have not shown any benefit to improving bone density. Bone needs progressive loading, so that's why I say these exercises are a good start especially as people with osteo must take precautions against stressing the bone to fracture or falling, so advice on holding on to a chair or wall is very good advice. People with osteo have to strengthen muscle - absolutely. They then have to undertake exercise that will actually stress sufficiently without causing injury and continue in progression. The bone "gets used to" repetitive exercise such as walking, so no additional benefit is gained. Weights, resistance bands and impact have been shown in numerous studies to directly affect bone density. For example, the lateral move you showed would have only impacted bone density if the person were doing this with a resistance band. The calf raise in itself is a really important exercise to develop the calf muscle, but if it was then turned into a heel drop (dropping your heels to the ground with some force) that becomes an impact exercise that has been shown to affect bone. People watching these videos believe they are strengthening bone but they are not. They can certainly improve general health, fitness and muscle strength, which are all necessary for people with osteo, but they do not do anything to improve bone density. Having said that, sitting on a couch doing nothing is a terrible thing for the body, and starting out walking, small jogs, etc is far better for health.

    Brilliant video, thanks so much. Exactly what I've been doing is over-analysing. I'm pretty complicated in that I have Charcot Marie Tooth with arthritis in my ankles as a result. I cycled every day up until a big flare up 8 months ago. I started just the last couple of weeks cycling again on the flat short distances near home and have another big flare up. I'm due to collect a rather expensive e-bike at the weekend so a bit paranoid that cycling (even on an e-bike) will cause me flare ups. Surgeon says to keep cycling but am just concerned that the mechanics of my ankles due to CMT are causing a harmful motion (maybe lateral) when pedalling and it's making things worse. Any advice would be great! Thinking maybe stiffer soled trainers when cycling might mitigate somewhat..

  • @GenuinePhysio
    @GenuinePhysio6 ай бұрын

    Hi Simon, thanks for the comment. I certainty wouldn't feel comfortable giving specific advice on your specific situation without a proper assessment. In general, I would say if you are weaning back in to cycling post flare it might be easier to do this on on a static/indoor bike as you can control the variables easier: resistance, time, speed etc. You might be able to get a cheaper turbo trainer second hand. Could also play around with the saddle height to reduce ankle flexion. Failing that could consider a professional bike fit, although appreciate the cost involved. I would also assume lateral mechanics should be minimal when cycling but again unsure in your specific case. Hope that helps a bit.
