Bob & Brad, I hope you understand and hold pride on what you are doing and just how much impact you have had on the world. After my knee injuries and surgeries I thought I would have to live with chronic pain and fear for the rest of my life. To the point where some days I genuinely thought about amputation because I didn’t want to deal with surgeries every 10 years if it came to a replacement. Your videos have helped me in understanding my body and what changes I needed to make without the need for additional surgeries. Because of your videos I can jog again without the fear of popping something out of place. I still have a long way to go, but I hope you know that you are doing wonderful work providing this information for free. I wish you both the best.
I have been using your advice for 3 1/2 years and am now recovering from 4th knee surgery. Received less than stellar post surgical pt exercise list. Thank God for you guys.
I’ve decided I will NOT be having anymore surgery in my lifetime and I’m using your superb videos to strengthen my hips, back, knees, ankles, ETC!! I came to you for IT BAND syndrome. After successful release, pain relief and renewed mobility using your videos, I’m a believer that I can truly be prepared for my golden years. Thank you so much!!
Bob and Brad. Thank you so much. Since I moved to a neighbourhood that is very flat ( that is I don't get any up hill walking when I go out) I have developed really bad knee pain after going up just a few steps. That backward lung and then up on the toes is brilliant! Again, thank you. From Australia
Sad that I learn more great health and medical advice from (free) youTube than when I pay big bucks to actually see a dr (for 10 minutes). But happy it’s available!! Thank you so much to both!
I will say that this video makes the most sense, considering that 3 muscle groups are all important. I only have minor discomfort on my left, weaker side, from too much use on my Stairmaster. I'll start daily use of these exercises. Thanks!
I need to start doing these. At 72, I've been blessed to not have any knee problems. It seems like most of my friends and relatives who around my age have had to endure knee surgeries, and I've seen how painful it is. Sure want to avoid that at all costs!
I'm doing it sitting because my body is in the same position as yours but I'm breathing. Take a picture and turn it 90°, you have sitting. When I lay flat on my back, it's hard to breathe. Love your videos! Thanks! ❤
Love the Minnesota accent. I moved to nyc almost 40 years ago and still feels like home when I hear it. Videos are great and really helped knee pain. thank you
You guys are great. I just love watching your videos. The one you just did above will really help me because it’s just one exercise I have to do and stretch to strengthen my legs. I had knee replacement surgery four years ago and I haven’t been doing the exercises and so my knees are really weak. This is inspiration to get back on the program.
I will definitely have to do this as ive got pretty rubbish arthritis in my knees. My hammies are a bit tight, though I don't think that's unusual for a job where you sit all day. I have a yoga strap that works quite nicely :)
Whatever you did to the sound, thank you very much. I could hear you perfectly which was really nice. Will incorporate those knee exercises/stretch in my routine. 🤗
Yes, your reporie is wonderful. WHAT WE NEED is someone to struggle through all the repetitions with us. May I suggest the two of you have an elder person run through these 3 to 4 minutes long repetitions while you two carry on the reporie helping her get through correctly. (I would like music too so it is not so "in your face" while focusing on our body during repitions.) Presenting only talk&repoire, and not walking us through the routines (that your profession has discovered), simply is not motivational. Others offer routine with music..nice. If you two can offer routine and repoire with music, nothing could be more motivational for a daily routine. Thank you
Hey guys how often do you recommend doing this exercise and stretch? I don't want to overdo it. Experiencing a little weakness in my right knee after picking up jogging. Thanks for all your help.
Thank you for your videos! I especially appreciate the knee videos as I’m currently recovering from bilateral knee replacements (7.5 weeks apart. Right was 12/6/17 and left was 1/29/18). Currently in outpatient PT and loving learning all I can about my new knees. I’m so glad I came across your channel!
Thanks SO much for these simple exercises! Even though I have bad balance, if I use my heavy dining room chair for the first one, I don’t fall (my four legged cane didn’t work!). And, since I have only the bands, I used the attachment with the foot opening and the red band. I’m getting ready for my left knee to be replaced, so I’ll be doing these every day!
This looks like just what I need to add to my routine for recovery from my tibial plateau fracture now that I'm at the muscle rehab stage of recovery. So glad I found this. Thank you sirs.
that was great....I'm FINALLY 95% recovered from a meniscus tear, and I Just started quad strengthening exercises, and also hamstring stretches as my hams are SUPER tight. Thank you for this. I love reverse lunges...will begin these slowly and progress. I appreciate you guys.
Hi guys! Love your videos. I recently have a physical therapist tell me that it is just as important to strengthen the glutes for good knee health and balance. Do you agree?
I love that you are talking about knee's - it's been a problem for me since the mid 90's; Osteoarthritis. FYI, fractured my ulna and radius/left wrist on 2/4/18 Super Bowl Sunday, incomplete fracture. F/U 3/7/18 this Wed., radius migrated/fracture worse now I'm in a cast instead of a brace for extra 6 weeks. When both were showing the reverse lunge - do you think it might benefit me with very tight calf muscles? I know I probably should not do this until my fracture heals.
i have got an injury on my right knee, meniscus tear (horrizontal posterior) stage 3, a year ago, still it is not healed, i have done few knee strengthning exercises regularly, my questions are; 1. What exercises you suggest? 2. Will it heal completely by exercises?
Hi Brad & Bob. Enjoyed watching your videos and they helped me recover with my acl replacement surgery last year. Are these excercises/stretches good for worn knee cap?
I love your sense of humor! Thank you for all your advice. I think with your therapy I will get better after falling down a flight of stairs in Jan 2018 and smashing down my right knee. Ouch. I walked for an hour today and did a lot of your exercise stretches xox! kinda of sore. I want to get back to cardio steps, but not sure if this is good yet. I was working out for1hr 45 min. 3x a day before I fell down stairs. I want to get back on track. Any suggestions f rom Brad or Bob would be appreciated. MRI didn't indicate any broken or fractures of bones.
@@kirstinstrand6292 I did recover. And I found out I have a baker's cyst behind my right knee. With the proper diet and stretching, etc., I can keep going!
I love your knee exercises, and sure wish I could do them. I’m older and have knee problems and balance issues. Do you have a somewhat tamer exercise I could do? I’ve got a book for the Canadian exercises that are more gentle, and they’re very effective, but none specifically for the knee. Would love a suggestion. I get a lot out of your shows. Thanks so much.
Roshan, it’s called the “Royal Canadian Air Force Exercise for Physical Fitness.” The copyright date is 1962: I did these exercises in the 1970s. They really work to increase strength and endurance. Recently I bought the book on Amazon, as I could not find it in the bookstore. Hope this helps..
This video has made a huge difference on the strength of my knee. I'm at the point that I'm ready to upgrade from the pillow and rolled towel to a foam thing of some sort. What density do you recommend?
You guys always do a great job! I just recently started lunges.....and I was surprised at how my calf muscle responded.......I'll have to work up to 12 slowly.
Wow, I'm coming off a tibial plateau fracture non operative and the non weight bearing killed me. That first exercise proves how much strength I've lost. wow. Thanks.
Lv you guys , but I'm going to subscribe for my Dad also , I think he will really enjoy the entertaining factors of your information that i believe will really help us physically. Thx again for all your work . ⚘⚘
Okay, I first discovered Bob & Brad in April of 2017 when, after picking something up off of the floor, I heard a dreaded "pop!" "snap!" and bam, I landed in Knee Injury City. I guess my knee went past my foot? it was almost like...a bad lunge position. So, I suffered a torn meniscus/torn gastroc annnnnd a "meniscocapsular separation". Or, capsular injury. It's been....hell. I've been dealing with this mess for almost a year now. I had surgery in November, but, I'm still struggling. My left leg muscles are weak, no matter how many quad sets I try to do. I would love to try this exercise, but, I'm afraid. It seems very similar in form to how I originally hurt myself! :( But, again, perhaps my knee went past my foot resulting in a non-contact hyperextension. ....I really don't know. So, even though I'm desperate to strengthen my leg muscles big time... I'm not sure I'm ready for this one. Looks great, though. If Bob & Brad happen to be reading this - I think you two are simply awesome and I soooo wish I could be one of your patients. My own PT folks weren't sure if the protocol for a "Capsular Injury of the Knee" is the same as a Meniscus Tear, so....we halted all PT. :( siiigh.... Wonder what you two guys would think. Anyway, cheers! Keep up the great work and like everyone else says...your intro song RULES.
Hi why is it so divided in the physical therapy/fysiologi community about the knee going past the toes when doing squats/lunges etc? What is the correct way for the knee?
Hiii I'm your biggest fan....you are doing very good job....I have a knee pain in my left knee & MRI & X ray didn't see any problem , everything is normal so can u plese suggeste mě some exercise for knee.
Greetings gentlemen, had a tka 4 weeks ago. Ive had both hips replaced and have a reconstructed shoulder. And i have to tell the recovery from the tka literally made cry once. Im 65 in great shape male. Im currently in out patient pt. Aside from the excersizes they have me doing at home, what can i do to expedite the recovery quicker. I cant wait to resume my regular gym training that im accustomed to. I nd to workout and jog my 20 miles a week. Its been really tough as all American are experiencing to get back to my workouts. There has to be something in addition to what im doing now to get back in shape. I dt care how painful it is, even tho i wont like it but ill do anything to speed up my recovery. Thanx and be safe, Eddy outta Chicago.
Doesnt look like questions are being answered but I'll try anyway. My question is: is it ok if one knee pops everytime I come down from the up bent position? Doesn't hurt, just noise, but it worries me that I may be causing damage if I keep doing this regularly, though I tend to think it won't.
Oh I just may have found the answer to my own question in another of their vids. Heres the url if anyone wants to tcheck it out: ua-cam.com/video/E2-HICibUNU/v-deo.html
UA-cam suggested this after I listened to some unaccompanied singing. Makes sense: from a cappella to a patella.

I bob my head to it now...omg...
Yeah but now we have to hear them go through it twice. Good exercises but I wish they'd ditch the schtick
So funny but true

Thank you very much for the awesome videos! I was told ~ not to stretch cold muscles, does it make sense? Or can we do the stretching exercise anytime
These two guys go around the world before finally getting to the point
If you don’t have a balance stick you can unscrew the handle of a shop broom and use that.
Nice video as usual. In karate, it's a huge factor in knee pain when not tracking the knee over the foot in stances. I see it all the time.
High knee wall rans are great too. Hands on the wall and push the wall while running with high knees. Striking back onto the ground with your toes
