I just want to thank you from the bottom to my heart so much I been suffering a meniscus tear for since June 7th 2021 till this day and I been doing these vmo exercises along with meniscus tear videos you have and I can finally sit down for a while and stand up and walk without pain thank you so much may god bless you and a blessing to come across your videos I can’t wait to start running again 🥲🙏❤️

@@user-cl7fm1uc4r yeah I was training for a marathon running 10 miles for a week and one of those days I was training I twisted my ankle in the middle of my run and after that next day I went to run had the pain on my knee and from there got worse and worse
@@Ortiz_julian13 I cringed on the part where you ran and twisted your ankle... I know just walking and twisting is bad... Jesus man I'm really happy everything is better for you now!
Finally I find someone on UA-cam giving accurate, meaningful advice on exercise conditioning. Bravo, Sir and THANK YOU for sharing good ideas. Very few "experts/wannabes" mention Functional Integration. Best wishes from New Zealand. Go well
i have been struggling with knee pain a year after my surgery. after long process with some help i was able to identify, that the problem is with the quad s but only after your video I was able to find the right exercise. thank you very much
@@kironsunderraj3698really? A 14 minute video with clearly explained and demonstrated exercises is too much for you? I found the balance between talking and demonstrating just perfect. As someone who is due for knee surgery in the near future, the introductory "waffle" was a gold mine.
I've been running for years and have had knee paint recently and tracking issues that's started 10 years ago and I'd completely forgotten about VMO activation. Loved the in depth look in this video. Thank you so much!
Your video, teachings, instructions, info provided as unbiased as possible and just well spoken professionalism is super impressive. Will definitely follow your other videos, even just after one day of performing these exercises I've felt improvements already!
I can’t thank you enough for your videos, so fabulous. My lack of movement during COVID caused my left knee to become problematic causing lute imbalance and knee pain. Gone now following your protocol, I refer all my clientele to you online to help their issues. You have a good following with my business, your such a blessing.
Just yesterday I came back from from my physio who told my knees hurt because of weak VMO. You're right on time, Coach E, thanks a lot! She gave me some exercises, but I am going to add yours as well.
I have been told my knee pain is because of poor patellar tracking. The are so many contradicting information out there. I have just done what you did through the video and I am VERY HOPEFUL. 💪🏼
Yay! So happy that you found it. There is definitely hope for you. Also, consider grabbing the Knee Pain Solution program.

I think I finally realized the purpose of these exercises. I used to think that all I needed to do was to make a certain muscle strong by working it with weights for instance, now however watching your video I see that it’s it the mind muscle connection that matters. I had the hardest time finding and activating the VMO. It took me a long time to actually see it pop, this tells me that I probably don’t use this muscle enough when I need it. Thank you for the informative video. I hope this will help me solve my painful, prone to injuries knees.
this is the perfect channel. exactly the info I've been curious about when looking for stretches and mobility, none of the hand-waving and copy-paste reasonings
Wow! I did the Extended Knee Ankle Fl-Ex while laying up in bed, and have never felt my VMO fire like that before. I did it twice and felt it actually cramp up for the first time, which actually felt kind of good, surprisingly. I’ve been having having some knee pain for awhile and it’s somehow magically gone.
Thank you for being you! ❤❤ Your information based on research and personal experience is appreciated. Slowly describing and teaching the exercises is also very much appreciated!!
Been having knee pain while trail running downhill. Gonna give these a try. I backed off running and began doing more stretching, lunges, thera gun on the legs, and leg extension exercises to engage the quads. After 4 weeks, it's about gone. This video is super helpful. I'll do these exercises. Thank you.
I'm an ex body builder and you can see my VMO from across the room. I fell outside and medially dislocated my kneecap. I appreciate you explaining the almost immediate weakness that occurs in the VMO after injury. I'm heading into my sixth week post fall and VMO weakness is my main issue now.
Another magical routine from Coach E! I've had a strained MCL for 8 weeks that just wasn't getting better, and one routine of this has given me hope that I'll be back to basketball soon It also seems to help with my 25 year old IT band syndrome. As always, a great anatomy less as well. Thanks, Coach!
He's just amazing and his workouts are so rare but super effective. You start to wonder if most physical therapy channels on UA-cam are owned by amateurs or regular fit guys that decided to open a UA-cam video centered on fitness
I started to develop knee pain along the medial line of my right knee in March this year. My physio told me it was a fraid medial meniscus resulting from arthritis (I'm a 64 yo distance runner). He told me to reduce my training load and do some leg extensions and it should settle in a few weeks. It didn't really recover, although it was tolerable. I ran 26 races in 24 weeks, winning my clubs xc championship, which was excellent, however, toward the end of the season my knee became quite painful. I visited my local sports doctor, who recommended PRP injections at the end of the season in mid-September. Unfortunately, the pain in my right MCL forced me to stop running completely. Today I saw the senior sports doctor, who immediately focused on the VMO. Thanks for the video, I am hoping to follow your program into the future, as until today I was almost certain my running "career" was over.
Great video exactly what i needed, I've had bad knees for a long time making me walk kind of straight legged which eventually made me lose activation in my vmo which then led to vmo muscle loss.. i am slowly trying to rebuild them but didn't know how..So glad that i have stumbled across your video.. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. In 2022 i had meniscus repair surgery. Every since then my knee is slow to recover. Im going to incorporate these movements to start my pain free journey.

Very interesting exercises with good explanations. I thought that locking out the knee was not good for your knees but it seems to be a key component of these exercises to heal your knee.
I've had patellar dislocations for 4-5 years now and in my doctors file he recommended the physiotherapist do these exercise i haven't got to go to the physiotherapist because my dad comes home late so thank you so much for these exercises
It worked! It took the pain away and I can walk without swaying. I have bursitis and arthritis in my hip and very bad back. I exercise all the time but doesn't target exactly what I need. Your video did this for me and I thank you.
Thank you so much for these exquisite details enhancing the quality of our practice as well as the body awareness. I had just worked on this older video regarding "Patellar Tendonitis" duration 16:05 when i come across this newer one. (I had recurrent knee swelling as i was 10 to 12 y old, which had never interested these ignorant doctors in the sixties. This is latent now with my 68 of age. .so prevention and care.. "movement longevity" i am on the right track with your coaching) Peace
Thank you! I'll try that. I have pain in the front of the knee and my impression is that it is from lack of balance between strong muscles under the knee and weaker muscles above the knee, resulting in pulling the ligament down.
My knees are troubling after many ultra marathon and my diy. Will practice these strength exercises hopefully return to the track again Durban South Africa
Great information to know. Very well presented. I have been doing yoga for my knee and hip pain but often I have pain in my quadriceps after walking or being on my feet. I tried these exercises you recommended and it feels better afterwards.
Thanks , I have been doing these exercises daily for 8 days and for the first time in years , I can bend my knees without pain when I pick up things off the floor.I started slowly with the exercises to gain mind body appreciation of the movement. Now that I can do them I doing them less often to see how it affects the knees. Before these exercises I was doing body weight squats up to 30 -40 times a day up to 4 times a week, but this never helped the knee pain until your exercises. I guess I had at the least an underutilised vmo.
You are welcome! Thanks for trying it out and keep us posted on your progress. Try tapping your VMO to get it fired up while attempting the exercises :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I have to say your video is very professional and detailed, but a bit difficult to follow for someone who is not so familiar with the anatomy terms and exercise techniques. It would be great to have more in detail explanation of what to mean by “activate” . Maybe some shots from different angles for someone who is not into the profession but a regular person who get the benefit. Thank you for doing this!
You are welcome and thanks for your support...we really appreciate it. Feel free to reach out to us at vip@pmcoach.pro if you ever need more advice or assistance :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I typically have very good control of my body - but making the mind-body control to just the VMO is proving different. I think i'm activating it but I really have to concentrate (kinda like lifting the one eyebrow that doesn't want to lift). Is there a cheat movement to isolate it? One leg is easier than the other to activate without firing the other portions of the quad. Brilliant delivery/presentation. Kudos to your straightforward explanations! I subscribed!
Hi and thanks for commenting. It's tricky especially if you have never done this before. You will improve with time and practice. Try gently tapping the muscle while attempting to activate it. This will give you tactile feedback about your efforts. Keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you ever need more advice or assistance :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks! Start with these exercises and do them 2 - 3 times weekly for 4 weeks. Send a report and we can go from there. Talk to you soon :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
This is great! My right knee hurts (patellar joint and behind the patella), and after trying this I noticed that I have no real control of that side's VMO. I can make it fire up like nothing though on the left side, though. So I'm thinking I have an imbalance that I need to correct. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video.🙏 I have quite early onset osteoarthritis from two acl reconstructions at a young age. The more I learn about quad activation failure, the more I wish I had know this years ago. Your video resource is so valuable to me. I wish I had Doctors/PTs advise me with a more proactive recovery focusing on activating and strengthening both quads. I hope I am able to regain some strength in my quads with these targeted exercises. This is so so helpful!
Yes! We love hearing from professionals like you. Thanks for trying it out and let us know if you ever need more assistance for you or your clients :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Hi. For the “extended knee ankle FL-EX” exercise, I have very weak VMOs, and my VLOs are taking over when extending in the parallel thigh position. It seems to help if I externally rotate my thigh prior to knee extension. Would you recommend this as a means to better activate the VMO or do you have another suggestion for waking them up?Thanks for your suggestions. ~ Leslie
Yes, hip ER can help get the VMO going, so do it up! The other cue that can help is to push the thigh down into the roller via glute and even a bit of ham activation - this can reciprocally inhibit the rectus femoris and further help you get the VMO going.
Have hard time activating the VMO on the extended knee ankle flex exercise. The other quad muscles fire, but no VMO. How do you focus on VMO firing? Both ACL's torn, but no surgery. Wear the DonJoy brace for all sports.
Try gently palpating the muscle by tapping on it. This will give you some tactile feedback about your efforts and help you to better internalize the activation :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Hi from hot weather in South Africa. I love your prompt responses to everyone, which is rarely found on other videos. They leave you in limbo Much appreciated I have a lateral bucket handle meniscus tear for about 8 weeks now. I've been going to a biokineticist for couple if years now. Dr recommended I have an arthroscopic menistectomy after he did the mri scan. Lucky I'm not in pain at the moment but when I walk I feel the uncomfortable catching. My knee not fully extending still but Much better from before Only when I walk I keep the leg straight but obviously it's affecting my other side. When I stand straight n flex knee n move it backward n forward I can do it comfortably n can flex it backward. Will these exercises help me to walk normally
Happy to help! These exercises are a great start and consider trying out this program: www.precisionmovement.coach/knee-pain-solution-yt - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Thank you so much for this video.🙏 I have quite early onset osteoarthritis from two acl reconstructions at a young age. The more I learn about quad activation failure, the more I wish I had know this years ago. Your video resource is so valuable to me. I wish I had Doctors/PTs advise me with a more proactive recovery focusing on activating and strengthening both quads. I hope I am able to regain some strength in my quads with these targeted exercises. This is so so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!

Hi. For the “extended knee ankle FL-EX” exercise, I have very weak VMOs, and my VLOs are taking over when extending in the parallel thigh position. It seems to help if I externally rotate my thigh prior to knee extension. Would you recommend this as a means to better activate the VMO or do you have another suggestion for waking them up?Thanks for your suggestions. ~ Leslie
Yes, hip ER can help get the VMO going, so do it up! The other cue that can help is to push the thigh down into the roller via glute and even a bit of ham activation - this can reciprocally inhibit the rectus femoris and further help you get the VMO going.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊

You are sooo welcome :)
Sending movement love right back to you
Have hard time activating the VMO on the extended knee ankle flex exercise. The other quad muscles fire, but no VMO. How do you focus on VMO firing? Both ACL's torn, but no surgery. Wear the DonJoy brace for all sports.
Try gently palpating the muscle by tapping on it. This will give you some tactile feedback about your efforts and help you to better internalize the activation :)

Hi from hot weather in South Africa.
I love your prompt responses to everyone, which is rarely found on other videos.
They leave you in limbo
Much appreciated
I have a lateral bucket handle meniscus tear for about 8 weeks now.
I've been going to a biokineticist for couple if years now.
Dr recommended I have an arthroscopic menistectomy after he did the mri scan.
Lucky I'm not in pain at the moment but when I walk I feel the uncomfortable catching. My knee not fully extending still but Much better from before
Only when I walk I keep the leg straight but obviously it's affecting my other side.
When I stand straight n flex knee n move it backward n forward I can do it comfortably n can flex it backward.
Will these exercises help me to walk normally
Happy to help!
These exercises are a great start and consider trying out this program:
