This is MIRACULOUS. I have been dealing with inner knee pain on and off, sometimes agonizing for 3 years. Began gradually, went to an orthopedic specialist first that just diagnosed IT Band irritation, gave me a knee brace (and billed the insurance $3800 for it), then sent me on my way, then visited an ortho surgeon who cursorily examined the leg and had an MRI done interpreted as "MCL and ACL sprain", 4 weeks of PT and Mobic prescribed, with limited healing. YOUTubing exercised have helped me 10 fold, with this AT THE TOP, thank you SO MUCH.
3 years of pain, i did this exercise it released the pain, next day i heard a knack it improved more, next day walked 10 km without pain, next day again lots of walking and my knee feels so good, thank so much

Hello Dr David. Im 43 and have knee pain from many years. But suddenly the pain aggravated and I realised that my right knee hurts more and noticed that my tibia looks misaligned. The NHS in UK fails to make a diagnosis and I'm fed up. I'm gonna continue following your exercise videos and am confident will heal my pain. Thanks a ton. 🙏
Currently up at 5am for the 3rd time with a flare up of pain in my left knee that’s lasted about a week/ week and a half (10 yrs post op on a very necessary meniscus surgery. I basically blew the whole thing to shreds). Did a few reps of this exercise and finally FINALLY felt something pop back into place. I could CRY. Thank you thank you thank you
I'm having a hard time figuring the proper way to do this, both my knees Hurt. Just Started Hurting this last Cole month's , been working a Lot! Of years . Blessings n Peace to You All
My friend, you are a true savior. Been dealing for over 6 months of pain; on my right knee, I did your exercise and my pain now is gone. You sir have done for me in a 10 minute video what several doctors did not; alleviate my pain. Thank you sir and God bless you.
Your youtubes have helped me much more than any face to face physiotherapist I have seen over the decades.You are gifted and very generous by sharing your knowledge to relieve the pain of everyone watching. Thank you so much.
I want to tell you that I have been walking around in pain for three days, not being able to put my weight on my left knee it was like the kneecap was frozen, I couldn't even lay my leg flat, it stayed bowed. I watched your video and did like you told us to do, and for the first time in a long while I was able to walk with no pain. Thank you so much!
Thank you. I went from being in constant pain and limping when walking to being in minimal discomfort and being able to walk without limping. I feel that a miracle has happened for me. My doctor gave me no advice about how to relieve my pain. Now I know there is an outlet for immediate relief before I am able to get an appointment for physical therapy.
I really didn’t believe the comments but still give the exercise a try. WOW it worked ! I have been having pain for more than 3 weeks and I did the exercise for 3 days and I feel no more pain . I had felt a strange crack at night when I was sleeping and boom no more pain. Thanks for sharing this with us!
if I could reach out and hug you, I would! I LIVE in pain! I've had 3 right knee surgeries, and a torn med meniscus in my left. Just a few minutes of doing these movements, have already eased the pain. You bet I'll be doing these every day! THANK YOU!
Doc, I’d come see you if I lived in your state, but I don’t. 😞 on my leg with my injured knee, when I stand straight up with feet forward, my knee (and leg) rotates a bit inward post injury. This makes me think I have a tibia shift … particularly given the accident of slipping on wet floor and rotating my upper part of leg inward while keeping the foot planted. And felt a pop of the inside of my leg, maybe knee…not sure of exact location - just a slight sensation, no sharp pain when it happened. Will this technique help? Should I do the Medial tibia shift or the reverse technique? I pray your technique can help…I’ve been searching for a solution for 5 months now. If you can help???! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is amazing. I injured my meniscus 8 weeks ago while skiing. For weeks I could barely walk. Eventually the pain subsided somewhat, but it never completely stopped and I’ve limping around constantly. I went to the orthopedist and they wanted to shoot me up with steroids. They said it was a bruised meniscus and not a tear. I decided to wait on that a little longer and was going to schedule some PT. Then I came across this video and tried the routine as described. Day 1 my knee was functioning at 80% with minimal pain. Day 2 my knee was functioning at 100%, with ZERO pain. I’ve played tennis two days in a row since trying this and Im pain free. This really works!
You are real deal my friend. I am a neurosurgeon and just busted my meniscus , I did this and I can walk pain free. Everything you explain is by the book and makes sense. I love people who know what they are doing. I will purchase your program on your website as well.
Hi Wisdomseeker, That is so amazing! We are thrilled that you were able to feel some relief with these techniques. We are very sorry to hear that you busted your meniscus. We know that pain is no joke and we are so happy you are feeling better. The program will be great to help aid you in your recovery. In the meantime, we have a playlist for knee meniscus help.

I'm doubting if this is an another video that will do nothing for my recent knee pain. But this one is LEGIT! After doing the exercises demonstrated, I immediately felt relief. Can't thank you enough for sharing this video and hope you help more people like us!
Not too many youtube videos works this has been a lifesaver. I'm 45, overweight, still try to stay active playing basketball and walking. Played basketball the other day after my last game my right knee was sore and stiff. Follow day the symptoms became worse the day after watched this video immediately felt better wider range of motion. Thank you.
Same! I recently started playing hoops again and my right knee has been in so much pain from all the pivoting and jumping, just did this stretch and the pain is gone! Dude is a life/money saver!
You have no idea how helpful this video has been. I do deliveries to make ends meet. So you can imagine how I’ve had to walk with a torn meniscus on my left knee. Limping and limping to do my job. To sum it up I could kiss you for your teachings I can walk pain free. And whenever the meniscus gets out of alignment, I do the therapy over and over. I’m grateful 🎉❤
I have to comment again only six hours later, and thank you profusely. I'm disabled, both knees rebuilt after being hit by a car many years ago. I couldn't understand why sometimes I would barely be able to walk, and other times I could almost run if I needed to. Recently I moved to a new apartment; after carrying heavy loads every day for just a couple of weeks, the pain was intense and I lost range of motion in my left knee; it was like someone tied a lead weight to my foot or ripping my knee apart. I did the motions while watching the video, then went shopping at Costco, which I wasn't looking forward to because of all the walking. The pain from the movement is completely gone! Of course it still aches because this has been going on for two months, but it doesn't feel like someone stuck a knife in my knee joint, and just left it there anymore. And now I just got home, felt the area around my knee where it's usually puffy, but the swelling is gone! It hasn't been like that in years! I really can't thank you enough.
So glad I found your videos. Being a truck driver your knee is constantly in a shifted position. So I never had a traumatic injury just stood up and could hardly walk . Your tibia shift exercises exercises are the answer for me , the clicking and pain has greatly diminished . Thanks again
I’ve been avoiding deep knee bends and doing PT for years to deal with a torn meniscus that would extrude in deep knee flexion and clunk as I stood up. After doing the manipulation from this video, the clunking symptoms are GONE. Thank you so much!
Did this not hurt you at all to do any part of the process? I'm nervous to try it on the leg with a suspected tear (waiting on mri results). Something about turning the foot in and moving the leg just makes me nervous. So great that it worked for you, as for so many others here. Wanting to avoid surgery if it comes to being needed so watching a lot of videos like this.
This tibial shift turned out to be my main knee problem. Travelled on an airplane for 15 hours. Cramped seating. I then started to have trouble straightening my leg after bent sleeping posture through the night . It was painful. Did massage that helped how my knee felt, but no true cure. Soon, I had quad fatigue halfway up my thigh. It never bothered me to walk, but knee ached when I bent it or lifted it. I had no hope the movements I did as directed in this video would work. The movements Immediately cured the problem. I mean Immediately!! Thank you
omg - instant relief from some serious pain i was experiencing. im a 62 yr old AVID runner who woke up unable to walk. went to my doc, got xrays but no treatment plan. i learned more from these videos and got significant relief. i am now your #1 fan. THANK YOU SIR.
O.M.G... healthcare worker here... i just did this to my newly effusion non trauma inflamed knee, in real time to the video.. yep there's a problem with my kneee.... but damn. i just just walked up and down the stairs with no pain now. This is GENIOUS.
Hey @weekendbikingwarrior360! That is great to hear!! Thank you for your kind words! It makes us glad to hear that you were able to walk up and down stairs with NO pain! 💪🏽 Keep up the great work! “Knee Meniscus Help” ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mZ9Vh4eRH3UlmMeqOUtB-6a.html
this worked for me , the pain went and its not come back all day thank you, worked I was pain-free for 3 weeks and started again, however after doing the technique again I'm pain-free again
After almost 5 years of excruciating and severe pain, I have no pain, after seeing your videos. God bless you abundantly for helping us to be painfree, when other doctors want us to have an operation. You are a blessing in disguise and you are doing a great service to humanity! Wish you all the best in everything you do.

Subscribed! I am a Registered Massage Therapist here in BC, and this makes a lot of sense. Found this video because I am also a trail runner with pretty bad genu valgum and in the past two weeks have developed medial meniscus pain. Great info, thank you.
Dr. David, you are a gift from God. I am a 66 yr old female with complex degenerative medial meniscal tear and knee arthritis. I teach 1st grade, have 10 grandchildren and am very active (or was.) Serious medial pain and inability to walk. I essentially was dragging my left leg. My Dr. said he could not guarantee I would have any noticeable difference after scoping my knee, so I did not go through with the surgery. Luckily, I found you! After doing this unlock method, I felt immediate relief. I've also started the glute exercises you recommend for knee arthritis. I can actually walk now with minimal pain. This grateful Texan thanks you!!
I'm 68 years old and just used the method this video described and it worked immediately. About 3 months ago I stepped sideways and felt minor pain on the inside part of my left knee. It has consistently been getting more and more sensitive until I used the method demonstrated by El Paso Manual.
Hi Highfalutin, That is so awesome to hear! We are so happy that you're feeling some relief. Just in case you are interested we have a playlist for knee meniscus help. You can access it here: “Knee Meniscus Help” ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mZ9Vh4eRH3UlmMeqOUtB-6a.html Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. We hope you found this information helpful to you. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Thaaaank you SOOOO much... You know some I was at the point of tears tonight.. I decided to go on to UA-cam to see if anyone knew anything and that tremendously help me for the first time I'm able to get right up out of my chair without excruciating pain.. twisting in trying to coax my knee to unlock! God bless you!!!!!
I just watched you video and put your exercise into action. Instant relief. My right meniscus was operated on 8 years ago and I twisted the wrong way 5 months ago. I've been doing everything the physio told me too. I've had an MRI recently, but can't get to see the specialist for 3 months (unbelievable) so I did your exercise for a couple of minutes and I felt instant relief. I walked around the house double checking that it wasn't a placebo effect where it was all in my head. I'm going to be repeating this many times over the coming weeks, as well as implementing your other glute strengthening exercises. Thank you so much for sharing your professional knowledge in a way that is explicit but also for the common person. Much appreciated! Can't wait to see how the next few months changes for me.
Thank you sir! I thought I would miss my next race two weeks from now because of a knee pain that affected my thigh ang hip joint. It worked instantly. Now I am pain free. You're heaven sent. Thank you again.
Ok, so I've been dealing with this problem for about a month. I spent less than a minute doing your system, and instantly, the pain reduced. It's the next morning and the pain is still 75% less. Thank you and God bless you
This has CHANGED my life. The knee pain I had would wake me at night, not to mention day to day pain. I have been pain free for two months! Back to working out and feel so great! Thank though thank you thank you!!!!!,
OMFG i wanted to start off my thanking you. I have a discoid meniscus and get occasional locking in my knee, this lock was a lot worse and couldn't get my knee out of a 45 degree angle the first exercise and instantly unlocked my knee thank you!!

I injured my left knee 10 months ago. Had MCL pain, and meniscus damage. I have about a 90% recovery so far. I started squatting with weights gradually after about 3+ months 50 lbs . Now able to squat 175 lbs and have not had pain walking for about 2, 3 months. I am confident I will make a 100% recovery in next 3 to 6 months. I listened to all your videos after the injury and slowly but surely healing is happening. No surgery. Thanks
This rings true to what happened to me and how I strained my Meniscus. I was laying on my right side watching TV and when I got up off the lounge I strained or tore my left Meniscus. I just did this twice and I could stand up without pain. After a short walk it hurt a bit but I have had this for three weeks meow and I'm going to do it over the next few days. I was not expecting much of a result because there's a heap of really bad stuff on UA-cam. I have had a history of knee and sporting injuries over the years so that's why I have been putting up with it for 3 weeks. Thanks heaps mate I really like your advice and calm delivery. Cheers Claudio; Tasmania Australia.
Thank you! Pain is gone. A few yrs ago after doing squats, I had knee pain for a year. I used the stationary bike at the gym, by suggestion, to "realign" my meniscus (I didn't know!) This week, it happened again but NO GYM and no bike. You explained exactly what was going on in my knee, and all is aligned once more. SO MUCH appreciated!
Hi Terry! We're very sorry to hear you've been dealing with knee meniscus pain.🥺 We can only imagine how challenging it must be to deal with.

It's great to hear that your knee is aligned once more! Wishing you continued improvement and pain-free days ahead! We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
OMG! I injured my right knee a week ago at a jujutsu class and have had a lot of pain that I just could not ease up. Stumbled upon your video. Did the technique and it immediately went away. Still a little sore. Thank you!
I am 63 yrs old, active and workout every day yet bc of age I am experiencing injuries anyway like MINISCUS tears (so frustrating!). I have been doing a lot of research for ways to heal my body without going the route of doctors who are quick to recommend surgeries to correct things like tears in my rotator cuff as well. I have had cousins and friends who automatically went that route bc they trusted a doctors advice and are now worse off bc of the surgery (well shouldn't we trust Drs advice bc they are trained and educated? Quick answer ..no) I am finding more answers for long term strengt/ recovery for my injuries through physical therapists who suggest things like this and yoga stretches. I am really happy to have found this video and can tell you that it does work! Now THIS is why I appreciate UA-cam existing! These videos are a wealth of information without having to go through the hassle of trying to find a trustworthy doctor to help solve issues such as a MINISCUS issue.

Thank you. I can attest that this technique removed my inner right knee pain immediately. So happy to have stumbled upon your video. May God bless you for sharing this!
I had surgery done on both knees in 2008. The knee surgery had a 20 year life. The other day, I started having stiffness and pain on the left knee with the old feeling of bone on bone coming back. I suspected something had shifted. Than I came across you exercises. Within a day, I could feel great improvement. Now that I am back on the road to recovery, with the knowledge that this area takes time to heal, I can not thank you enough for your great service. Only those who have suffered with this kind of pain, know how much we have to thank you.

Holy cow!! 😮It worked! Oh my, the relief is unbelievable. Thank you so much! I’ve been spending so much money on Osteo, specialist and massage and just felt so hopeless because the pain doesn’t go away. Until this video!! 🌟 I’m so grateful! Thank you! You’re an angel for sharing this 😇 ❤
Like so many reports, I did the exercise last night and felt immediate change. This morning I could get out of bed and not be afraid to walk. I felt much more stable. Those simple movements created so much improvement. Thank you!
Dear Dr. David, you are the best all over the world! This must be exactly my problem, too. I am going to do this exercise a million times the day. A big hug to you from Hungary! 🤗
Wow, medial tear and this process gets rid of the pain immediately; and when it comes back I do it again with all of my PT exercises in-between. Thank you!
These exercises helped me tremendously. Had surgery done on both knees in 2008 with a 20 year life on the surgery. Left knee was aching on the back and and side I could also feel the old familiar bone on bone. I suspected something had shifted when I came across your program. Did the exercises and within a day I could feel great improvement. I now understand that in this area it takes time to heal. I also have something I can do to aid in the healing process. Thank you so very, very much.
My knee trouble started after doing the ab and aduction machines at my gym this summer. When I got on the treadmill later, I knew something was wrong. I was walking with a cane a couple of days later. An MRI revealed cartilage loss and other issues in my knee. But, they didn't hurt until I moved them with the machines. I got the gel in my left knee. It helped, but the gel can't straighten out my knee joint. I just did these moves and I definitely got some relief. I'm 75 and a contractor. I need my knees. Thanks, doctor, I'm going to keep doing these moves.
OH MY GOD!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! This was a blessing instant relief. I have an appointment with my Ortho in 2 days because of this pain. Not saying the problem is solved but, I got relief so far. Thank you again and I intend on discussing and showing my Ortho this exercise.
My right knee started locking suddenly while I was at the gym doing calf muscle exercises on the machine. After moving into a house with lots of stairs, my knee began hurting a lot, and I’ve had difficulty bending it, feeling like it’s losing its strength. Four days after these symptoms started, I felt 40% relief in just 10 minutes after doing this method . Thanks a lot!

I tweaked my left knee yesterday at the driving range hitting a bucket of golf balls. They had the grass roped off, making everyone hit off the matts/turf/. I rarely hit off them, and I feel my foot couldn't pivot properly thru the golf matting as it does thru grass/dirt. I tried this excercise after a day of pain and it feels much better. I only did it for a few minutes! Thanks for the video, best one out there 👌
I feel like I just performed a miracle by using this technique. I recently had terrible pain, inflation and swelling from playing Pickleball. I did this exercise and swelling actually decreased after doing these steps. After others have said I can hug you. Thank you

This was a great help. My knee used to randomly lock up until one day 20 or so years ago whilst playing football it locked in the middle of a kicking action and tore the cartilage. Had to get a piece taken out. Now it's occasionally crunchy and has the odd flare ups. This helped massively.

I tried so many exercises i saw on yt but they didn't help. I tried the movements that you taught here and I can now walk and even go up and down the stairs. ty ty ty so much❤
I've had surgery for ACL and both meniscus tears on my left knee. Every now and then. I'm pretty sure I get what you described as a tibial shift and me knee locks up prevent terminal extension. Literally just happened 10 mins ago. Came to you tube to find relief, within seconds. Of watching your exercises I felt some clicks in my knee and some pressure relief! Who would've thought. Thank you! I saved this video for future reference

I tried this about 6 months back and it didn't help at that time, because I didn't watch the video closely enough. Turns out, I was doing it the opposite way I needed, since my knee is missaligned, poking inward instead of outward. I tried it again, doing all of the actions in the reverse direction and found more relief from this than anything else I've tried. Thank you so much! I will definately keep doing this.
Wow! Thank you so much! I've been having this problem on and off for years, ever since I was hit by a car and both knees were rebuilt. Recently I moved to a new apartment and the pain has been intense; worse, it has lasted a couple of months. It seems this is exactly the answer I needed.

I twisted my knee twelve weeks ago. I have been hoping that it would cure itself, but there had been no improvement. This instruction just popped up on my UA-cam, and the way that you described the pain fitted my symptoms, so I tried your method exactly as you described. There was an immediate relief of pain. I repeated the treatment three or four times during the day, and now in less than twenty-four hours I can feel that it is back to normal. Thank you so much for this advice.
This is insane. My right knee has felt “off” for a long time, and about 3 weeks ago developed sharp medial pain. Tried everything with no success. This gives almost instant relief.
Omg you’re a genius. Thank you so much for showing this technique, I’ve done it twice and I’m able to walk much better. I’ve had the tear for last 2 yrs now, also had rehabs after my athroscopy had had no relief. I’ve been using everything and anything, all kinds of oil and analgesics and only a relief of 2-3 hrs. Thank you so much for your care and empathy you’re giving us broken women through your videos. God bless you and your family. 😍
The best description I’ve seen yet on my meniscus tear and noticed a difference and relief while doing what you’ve shown us and relief to the nagging pain around my knee.
This movement really helped my pain. I don’t get the pain sitting down or standing still. Only get the pain when I walk and put pressure on the knee. I also do the leg exercise by turning the foot and dragging it under me leaning forward as describe in your other video on this subject. Don’t know how to thank you for posting this video. Pain has been reduced where I can partially walk on the knee and every day that I do this, the pain gets better. Thank you for posting this! Didn’t think I would really walk again only being 64 years old and have so much going on.
Instant pain relief - amazing. Mine flared up 3 days ago and this meant I could get out of bed easily today! Obviously the rehab is still needed but thanks SO much.

I truly truly needed this. I tore my meniscus back in February. It is now July and it’s constantly giving me fits. I can’t afford a physical therapist and I don’t think they would do much help. Anyway I really really needed this video. I am trying so hard to continue to use my knee, but it hurts so badly some mornings that I can’t bend it I can’t walk and it’s very hard for me to continueto keep trying to use it when it hurts bad

Knee pain was causing me sleepless nights and in the morning taking 15 minutes trying to get my knee joint to painfully clunk into place. I couldn't straighten my knee at all when lying down. I had to have pain medication every day. I had stopped doing all but the necessary housework and going to work (sitting all day). I started using the advice here and I can now stand and walk with little or no pain within a maximum of 3 minutes and life is so much better. Im moving on soon to the recovery exercises and also the foot exercises which I had to stop. I highly recommend you give it a go.
This really works, I have been feeling wierd and having clicks around my knees for the whole week, and this exercise helped to make it feel normal again. Thanks a lot for this!
This is MIRACULOUS. I have been dealing with inner knee pain on and off, sometimes agonizing for 3 years. Began gradually, went to an orthopedic specialist first that just diagnosed IT Band irritation, gave me a knee brace (and billed the insurance $3800 for it), then sent me on my way, then visited an ortho surgeon who cursorily examined the leg and had an MRI done interpreted as "MCL and ACL sprain", 4 weeks of PT and Mobic prescribed, with limited healing. YOUTubing exercised have helped me 10 fold, with this AT THE TOP, thank you SO MUCH.
Is the pain was when walking or even when resting?
And how you doing right now
@@Muslims807 Pain was when walking, not only when resting, and now it is about 95% and getting better following these youtube PT exercises,
Yes exactly 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
3 years of pain, i did this exercise it released the pain, next day i heard a knack it improved more, next day walked 10 km without pain, next day again lots of walking and my knee feels so good, thank so much

@@showbizkittyhow much were you doing it each day?
Hello Dr David. Im 43 and have knee pain from many years. But suddenly the pain aggravated and I realised that my right knee hurts more and noticed that my tibia looks misaligned. The NHS in UK fails to make a diagnosis and I'm fed up. I'm gonna continue following your exercise videos and am confident will heal my pain. Thanks a ton. 🙏
@@ramshackle7i do it every time when i think it moved back, so sometimes 2x a day, but sometimes not for acouple of days
Currently up at 5am for the 3rd time with a flare up of pain in my left knee that’s lasted about a week/ week and a half (10 yrs post op on a very necessary meniscus surgery. I basically blew the whole thing to shreds). Did a few reps of this exercise and finally FINALLY felt something pop back into place. I could CRY. Thank you thank you thank you
did you push hard? how long it took?
I'm having a hard time figuring the proper way to do this, both my knees Hurt. Just Started Hurting this last Cole month's , been working a Lot! Of years . Blessings n Peace to You All
over 6 months of pain, i almost can not believe that I can actually walk without pain, thanks for posting.
Are you able to bend your knee all the way?
Same problem. Does it works?
I hope this isn't b s. I'm getting ready to do it because I can't stand this pain. Did you try it???@@sunandapanigrahy5792
My friend, you are a true savior. Been dealing for over 6 months of pain; on my right knee, I did your exercise and my pain now is gone. You sir have done for me in a 10 minute video what several doctors did not; alleviate my pain. Thank you sir and God bless you.
My pain has been getting worse for a year!! The amount of money/expense and everyone I went to said it cannot get better. God Bless you❤
Omgh !! This gave me instant relief!! I’ve been suffering from meniscus pain for months ! And a torn ACL . My knee stopped popping after I did this !
Your youtubes have helped me much more than any face to face physiotherapist I have seen over the decades.You are gifted and very generous by sharing your knowledge to relieve the pain of everyone watching. Thank you so much.
I want to tell you that I have been walking around in pain for three days, not being able to put my weight on my left knee it was like the kneecap was frozen, I couldn't even lay my leg flat, it stayed bowed. I watched your video and did like you told us to do, and for the first time in a long while I was able to walk with no pain. Thank you so much!
Thank you. I went from being in constant pain and limping when walking to being in minimal discomfort and being able to walk without limping. I feel that a miracle has happened for me. My doctor gave me no advice about how to relieve my pain. Now I know there is an outlet for immediate relief before I am able to get an appointment for physical therapy.
I really didn’t believe the comments but still give the exercise a try. WOW it worked ! I have been having pain for more than 3 weeks and I did the exercise for 3 days and I feel no more pain . I had felt a strange crack at night when I was sleeping and boom no more pain. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I hope it will work for me too! This evening hut my knee in basketball.
if I could reach out and hug you, I would! I LIVE in pain! I've had 3 right knee surgeries, and a torn med meniscus in my left. Just a few minutes of doing these movements, have already eased the pain. You bet I'll be doing these every day! THANK YOU!
Just curious how long does it take to heal… believe I did this a few weeks ago
Bless your heart for sharing what movements did to help you heal. Encouraging comments give me dexterity.
Doc, I’d come see you if I lived in your state, but I don’t. 😞 on my leg with my injured knee, when I stand straight up with feet forward, my knee (and leg) rotates a bit inward post injury. This makes me think I have a tibia shift … particularly given the accident of slipping on wet floor and rotating my upper part of leg inward while keeping the foot planted. And felt a pop of the inside of my leg, maybe knee…not sure of exact location - just a slight sensation, no sharp pain when it happened. Will this technique help? Should I do the Medial tibia shift or the reverse technique? I pray your technique can help…I’ve been searching for a solution for 5 months now. If you can help???! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

What if I have a torn lateral meniscus in my left knee. Is it the same way or the alternate way?
This is amazing. I injured my meniscus 8 weeks ago while skiing. For weeks I could barely walk. Eventually the pain subsided somewhat, but it never completely stopped and I’ve limping around constantly.
I went to the orthopedist and they wanted to shoot me up with steroids. They said it was a bruised meniscus and not a tear. I decided to wait on that a little longer and was going to schedule some PT. Then I came across this video and tried the routine as described.
Day 1 my knee was functioning at 80% with minimal pain. Day 2 my knee was functioning at 100%, with ZERO pain. I’ve played tennis two days in a row since trying this and Im pain free. This really works!
You are real deal my friend. I am a neurosurgeon and just busted my meniscus , I did this and I can walk pain free. Everything you explain is by the book and makes sense. I love people who know what they are doing. I will purchase your program on your website as well.
Hi Wisdomseeker, That is so amazing! We are thrilled that you were able to feel some relief with these techniques. We are very sorry to hear that you busted your meniscus. We know that pain is no joke and we are so happy you are feeling better. The program will be great to help aid you in your recovery. In the meantime, we have a playlist for knee meniscus help.

I do have a pin like inside my knee, when im folding my knee.
I experience it performing the dragging..@@epmanualphysicaltherapy
@@PhilosophyUnviledhow are you now? Any better?
I'm doubting if this is an another video that will do nothing for my recent knee pain. But this one is LEGIT! After doing the exercises demonstrated, I immediately felt relief. Can't thank you enough for sharing this video and hope you help more people like us!
Not too many youtube videos works this has been a lifesaver. I'm 45, overweight, still try to stay active playing basketball and walking. Played basketball the other day after my last game my right knee was sore and stiff. Follow day the symptoms became worse the day after watched this video immediately felt better wider range of motion. Thank you.
Same! I recently started playing hoops again and my right knee has been in so much pain from all the pivoting and jumping, just did this stretch and the pain is gone! Dude is a life/money saver!
You have no idea how helpful this video has been.
I do deliveries to make ends meet.
So you can imagine how I’ve had to walk with a torn meniscus on my left knee.
Limping and limping to do my job.
To sum it up I could kiss you for your teachings
I can walk pain free.
And whenever the meniscus gets out of alignment, I do the therapy over and over.
I’m grateful 🎉❤
I have to comment again only six hours later, and thank you profusely. I'm disabled, both knees rebuilt after being hit by a car many years ago. I couldn't understand why sometimes I would barely be able to walk, and other times I could almost run if I needed to. Recently I moved to a new apartment; after carrying heavy loads every day for just a couple of weeks, the pain was intense and I lost range of motion in my left knee; it was like someone tied a lead weight to my foot or ripping my knee apart.
I did the motions while watching the video, then went shopping at Costco, which I wasn't looking forward to because of all the walking. The pain from the movement is completely gone! Of course it still aches because this has been going on for two months, but it doesn't feel like someone stuck a knife in my knee joint, and just left it there anymore.
And now I just got home, felt the area around my knee where it's usually puffy, but the swelling is gone! It hasn't been like that in years!
I really can't thank you enough.
So glad I found your videos. Being a truck driver your knee is constantly in a shifted position. So I never had a traumatic injury just stood up and could hardly walk . Your tibia shift exercises exercises are the answer for me , the clicking and pain has greatly diminished . Thanks again
I’ve been avoiding deep knee bends and doing PT for years to deal with a torn meniscus that would extrude in deep knee flexion and clunk as I stood up. After doing the manipulation from this video, the clunking symptoms are GONE. Thank you so much!
Hey Tyler, you are very welcome! We are so glad we were able to help you!
Did this not hurt you at all to do any part of the process? I'm nervous to try it on the leg with a suspected tear (waiting on mri results). Something about turning the foot in and moving the leg just makes me nervous. So great that it worked for you, as for so many others here. Wanting to avoid surgery if it comes to being needed so watching a lot of videos like this.
This tibial shift turned out to be my main knee problem. Travelled on an airplane for 15 hours. Cramped seating.
I then started to have trouble straightening my leg after bent sleeping posture through the night . It was painful. Did massage that helped how my knee felt, but no true cure. Soon, I had quad fatigue halfway up my thigh. It never bothered me to walk, but knee ached when I bent it or lifted it.
I had no hope the movements I did as directed in this video would work.
The movements
Immediately cured the problem. I mean Immediately!!
Thank you
I does it every time , whenever it feels locked in my knee and it worked every single time.Thank you sir .
I am grateful for this exercise. It does not only slowly diminish the pain I gain my mobility back. Thank you so much.
omg - instant relief from some serious pain i was experiencing. im a 62 yr old AVID runner who woke up unable to walk. went to my doc, got xrays but no treatment plan. i learned more from these videos and got significant relief. i am now your #1 fan. THANK YOU SIR.
O.M.G... healthcare worker here... i just did this to my newly effusion non trauma inflamed knee, in real time to the video.. yep there's a problem with my kneee.... but damn. i just just walked up and down the stairs with no pain now. This is GENIOUS.
Hey @weekendbikingwarrior360! That is great to hear!! Thank you for your kind words! It makes us glad to hear that you were able to walk up and down stairs with NO pain! 💪🏽

Have medial meniscus tear with baker’s cyst did your exercise and got immediate pain relief Thank You !
this worked for me , the pain went and its not come back all day thank you, worked I was pain-free for 3 weeks and started again, however after doing the technique again I'm pain-free again
After almost 5 years of excruciating and severe pain, I have no pain, after seeing your videos. God bless you abundantly for helping us to be painfree, when other doctors want us to have an operation. You are a blessing in disguise and you are doing a great service to humanity! Wish you all the best in everything you do.
Dude….this is gold! Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh, I could hug you!!! I have been in severe pain and could not unlock my knee, no matter what I tried. Thank you!!!!!

Subscribed! I am a Registered Massage Therapist here in BC, and this makes a lot of sense. Found this video because I am also a trail runner with pretty bad genu valgum and in the past two weeks have developed medial meniscus pain. Great info, thank you.
Dr. David, you are a gift from God. I am a 66 yr old female with complex degenerative medial meniscal tear and knee arthritis. I teach 1st grade, have 10 grandchildren and am very active (or was.) Serious medial pain and inability to walk. I essentially was dragging my left leg. My Dr. said he could not guarantee I would have any noticeable difference after scoping my knee, so I did not go through with the surgery. Luckily, I found you! After doing this unlock method, I felt immediate relief. I've also started the glute exercises you recommend for knee arthritis. I can actually walk now with minimal pain. This grateful Texan thanks you!!
I'm 68 years old and just used the method this video described and it worked immediately. About 3 months ago I stepped sideways and felt minor pain on the inside part of my left knee. It has consistently been getting more and more sensitive until I used the method demonstrated by El Paso Manual.
This guy saved me!!....I did this and unlocked my knees...couldn't believe it!!!

Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.
We hope you found this information helpful to you. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Omg I tore my meniscus 28 yrs ago. Immediately I could walk without pain.
Thank you
Thaaaank you SOOOO much... You know some I was at the point of tears tonight.. I decided to go on to UA-cam to see if anyone knew anything and that tremendously help me for the first time I'm able to get right up out of my chair without excruciating pain.. twisting in trying to coax my knee to unlock! God bless you!!!!!
I just watched you video and put your exercise into action. Instant relief. My right meniscus was operated on 8 years ago and I twisted the wrong way 5 months ago. I've been doing everything the physio told me too. I've had an MRI recently, but can't get to see the specialist for 3 months (unbelievable) so I did your exercise for a couple of minutes and I felt instant relief. I walked around the house double checking that it wasn't a placebo effect where it was all in my head. I'm going to be repeating this many times over the coming weeks, as well as implementing your other glute strengthening exercises. Thank you so much for sharing your professional knowledge in a way that is explicit but also for the common person. Much appreciated! Can't wait to see how the next few months changes for me.
Thank you sir! I thought I would miss my next race two weeks from now because of a knee pain that affected my thigh ang hip joint. It worked instantly. Now I am pain free. You're heaven sent. Thank you again.
Ok, so I've been dealing with this problem for about a month. I spent less than a minute doing your system, and instantly, the pain reduced. It's the next morning and the pain is still 75% less. Thank you and God bless you
This has CHANGED my life. The knee pain I had would wake me at night, not to mention day to day pain. I have been pain free for two months! Back to working out and feel so great! Thank though thank you thank you!!!!!,
GOD BLESS YOU! It's a miracle! With just a few seconds of doing this massage, the pain disappeared. Thank you!
OMFG i wanted to start off my thanking you. I have a discoid meniscus and get occasional locking in my knee, this lock was a lot worse and couldn't get my knee out of a 45 degree angle the first exercise and instantly unlocked my knee thank you!!

I injured my left knee 10 months ago. Had MCL pain, and meniscus damage. I have about a 90% recovery so far. I started squatting with weights gradually after about 3+ months 50 lbs . Now able to squat 175 lbs and have not had pain walking for about 2, 3 months. I am confident I will make a 100% recovery in next 3 to 6 months. I listened to all your videos after the injury and slowly but surely healing is happening. No surgery. Thanks
This rings true to what happened to me and how I strained my Meniscus. I was laying on my right side watching TV and when I got up off the lounge I strained or tore my left Meniscus. I just did this twice and I could stand up without pain. After a short walk it hurt a bit but I have had this for three weeks meow and I'm going to do it over the next few days. I was not expecting much of a result because there's a heap of really bad stuff on UA-cam. I have had a history of knee and sporting injuries over the years so that's why I have been putting up with it for 3 weeks. Thanks heaps mate I really like your advice and calm delivery. Cheers Claudio; Tasmania Australia.
Thank you! Pain is gone. A few yrs ago after doing squats, I had knee pain for a year. I used the stationary bike at the gym, by suggestion, to "realign" my meniscus (I didn't know!) This week, it happened again but NO GYM and no bike. You explained exactly what was going on in my knee, and all is aligned once more. SO MUCH appreciated!
Hi Terry! We're very sorry to hear you've been dealing with knee meniscus pain.🥺 We can only imagine how challenging it must be to deal with.

It's great to hear that your knee is aligned once more! Wishing you continued improvement and pain-free days ahead! We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
OMG! I injured my right knee a week ago at a jujutsu class and have had a lot of pain that I just could not ease up. Stumbled upon your video. Did the technique and it immediately went away. Still a little sore. Thank you!
I am 63 yrs old, active and workout every day yet bc of age I am experiencing injuries anyway like MINISCUS tears (so frustrating!). I have been doing a lot of research for ways to heal my body without going the route of doctors who are quick to recommend surgeries to correct things like tears in my rotator cuff as well. I have had cousins and friends who automatically went that route bc they trusted a doctors advice and are now worse off bc of the surgery (well shouldn't we trust Drs advice bc they are trained and educated? Quick answer ..no) I am finding more answers for long term strengt/ recovery for my injuries through physical therapists who suggest things like this and yoga stretches. I am really happy to have found this video and can tell you that it does work! Now THIS is why I appreciate UA-cam existing! These videos are a wealth of information without having to go through the hassle of trying to find a trustworthy doctor to help solve issues such as a MINISCUS issue.
Thank you sooo much, those meniscus exercise for joint pain. Relief really did help on the first try thank you Doctor❤

Thank you. I can attest that this technique removed my inner right knee pain immediately. So happy to have stumbled upon your video. May God bless you for sharing this!
I had surgery done on both knees in 2008. The knee surgery had a 20 year life. The other day, I started having stiffness and pain on the left knee with the old feeling of bone on bone coming back. I suspected something had shifted. Than I came across you exercises. Within a day, I could feel great improvement. Now that I am back on the road to recovery, with the knowledge that this area takes time to heal, I can not thank you enough for your great service.

Holy cow!! 😮It worked! Oh my, the relief is unbelievable. Thank you so much! I’ve been spending so much money on Osteo, specialist and massage and just felt so hopeless because the pain doesn’t go away. Until this video!! 🌟 I’m so grateful! Thank you! You’re an angel for sharing this 😇 ❤
Hey @Bashertxo, we're so glad this helped you! Thank you so much for your support! We appreciate you!
Like so many reports, I did the exercise last night and felt immediate change. This morning I could get out of bed and not be afraid to walk. I felt much more stable. Those simple movements created so much improvement. Thank you!
Dear Dr. David, you are the best all over the world! This must be exactly my problem, too. I am going to do this exercise a million times the day.
A big hug to you from Hungary! 🤗
Wow, medial tear and this process gets rid of the pain immediately; and when it comes back I do it again with all of my PT exercises in-between. Thank you!
These exercises helped me tremendously. Had surgery done on both knees in 2008 with a 20 year life on the surgery. Left knee was aching on the back and and side I could also feel the old familiar bone on bone. I suspected something had shifted when I came across your program. Did the exercises and within a day I could feel great improvement. I now understand that in this area it takes time to heal. I also have something I can do to aid in the healing process. Thank you so very, very much.
Wow...that actually worked! I have been hobbling around for a week with a meniscus flare-up that occurs a couple times a year...Thank You!
I recently injured my knee and this technic you've shown here really helped relieve the pain for me. Thank you so much!
That’s good to know. I just injured my knee and was hoping there was something I could do to relieve pain.
My knee trouble started after doing the ab and aduction machines at my gym this summer. When I got on the treadmill later, I knew something was wrong. I was walking with a cane a couple of days later. An MRI revealed cartilage loss and other issues in my knee. But, they didn't hurt until I moved them with the machines.
I got the gel in my left knee. It helped, but the gel can't straighten out my knee joint. I just did these moves and I definitely got some relief. I'm 75 and a contractor. I need my knees. Thanks, doctor, I'm going to keep doing these moves.
OH MY GOD!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! This was a blessing instant relief. I have an appointment with my Ortho in 2 days because of this pain. Not saying the problem is solved but, I got relief so far. Thank you again and I intend on discussing and showing my Ortho this exercise.
Same experience for me....ortho merely took ex Ray and gave script for physical therapy. This exercise has helped!
My right knee started locking suddenly while I was at the gym doing calf muscle exercises on the machine. After moving into a house with lots of stairs, my knee began hurting a lot, and I’ve had difficulty bending it, feeling like it’s losing its strength. Four days after these symptoms started, I felt 40% relief in just 10 minutes after doing this method . Thanks a lot!
Can you show this exercise for lateral meniscus tears.pls.

Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.
We hope this helps! Please keep us posted on your progress 🧡
Thank you so much , u are a help from God, really. A big help 🙏

My knee locked and I was stuck with no one to help me move. You saved me! Tears of thanks!
I tweaked my left knee yesterday at the driving range hitting a bucket of golf balls. They had the grass roped off, making everyone hit off the matts/turf/. I rarely hit off them, and I feel my foot couldn't pivot properly thru the golf matting as it does thru grass/dirt. I tried this excercise after a day of pain and it feels much better. I only did it for a few minutes! Thanks for the video, best one out there 👌
I feel like I just performed a miracle by using this technique. I recently had terrible pain, inflation and swelling from playing Pickleball. I did this exercise and swelling actually decreased after doing these steps. After others have said I can hug you. Thank you
Hi Thomas, that is so awesome! We are so sorry to hear that you've been suffering from terrible pain and swelling from pickleball. 🥺 We hope you continue to feel relief.

This was a great help. My knee used to randomly lock up until one day 20 or so years ago whilst playing football it locked in the middle of a kicking action and tore the cartilage. Had to get a piece taken out. Now it's occasionally crunchy and has the odd flare ups. This helped massively.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapyhey doc , will deadlifts affect my shoulder while it's healing ?
@@bigdaddytrips6197 If it hurts, don’t do it. That is from my PT.
Idk if you'd see this since this video is over a year old but I want to thank you so much. I had acute knee pain and couldn't straighten my leg let alone walk. I tried so many exercises i saw on yt but they didn't help. I tried the movements that you taught here and I can now walk and even go up and down the stairs. ty ty ty so much❤
I've had surgery for ACL and both meniscus tears on my left knee.
Every now and then. I'm pretty sure I get what you described as a tibial shift and me knee locks up prevent terminal extension. Literally just happened 10 mins ago. Came to you tube to find relief, within seconds. Of watching your exercises I felt some clicks in my knee and some pressure relief! Who would've thought. Thank you! I saved this video for future reference
Great Disqjunky!!!!

I tried this about 6 months back and it didn't help at that time, because I didn't watch the video closely enough. Turns out, I was doing it the opposite way I needed, since my knee is missaligned, poking inward instead of outward. I tried it again, doing all of the actions in the reverse direction and found more relief from this than anything else I've tried. Thank you so much! I will definately keep doing this.
I did this last week, it is the first time in months that I can play soccer without pain, thank you so much.
Wow! Thank you so much! I've been having this problem on and off for years, ever since I was hit by a car and both knees were rebuilt. Recently I moved to a new apartment and the pain has been intense; worse, it has lasted a couple of months. It seems this is exactly the answer I needed.
Hi John, you're welcome! We are so sorry to hear that you were hit by a car years ago that caused you to have to rebuild your knees. We can only imagine what you've been through!

I twisted my knee twelve weeks ago. I have been hoping that it would cure itself, but there had been no improvement. This instruction just popped up on my UA-cam, and the way that you described the pain fitted my symptoms, so I tried your method exactly as you described. There was an immediate relief of pain. I repeated the treatment three or four times during the day, and now in less than twenty-four hours I can feel that it is back to normal. Thank you so much for this advice.
Love u sir my heart full thanks from india
This is insane. My right knee has felt “off” for a long time, and about 3 weeks ago developed sharp medial pain. Tried everything with no success. This gives almost instant relief.
Omg you’re a genius. Thank you so much for showing this technique, I’ve done it twice and I’m able to walk much better. I’ve had the tear for last 2 yrs now, also had rehabs after my athroscopy had had no relief. I’ve been using everything and anything, all kinds of oil and analgesics and only a relief of 2-3 hrs. Thank you so much for your care and empathy you’re giving us broken women through your videos. God bless you and your family. 😍
So glad I found this , I fractured my tibial plateau and tore the medial meniscus in December. No surgery , Thank You !
The best description I’ve seen yet on my meniscus tear and noticed a difference and relief while doing what you’ve shown us and relief to the nagging pain around my knee.
simple and clear, thank you Sir
I did this and it provided immediate relief,thanks greatly !!
This movement really helped my pain. I don’t get the pain sitting down or standing still. Only get the pain when I walk and put pressure on the knee. I also do the leg exercise by turning the foot and dragging it under me leaning forward as describe in your other video on this subject. Don’t know how to thank you for posting this video. Pain has been reduced where I can partially walk on the knee and every day that I do this, the pain gets better. Thank you for posting this! Didn’t think I would really walk again only being 64 years old and have so much going on.
Instant pain relief - amazing. Mine flared up 3 days ago and this meant I could get out of bed easily today! Obviously the rehab is still needed but thanks SO much.

This was a godsend upload. Thank you
I truly truly needed this. I tore my meniscus back in February. It is now July and it’s constantly giving me fits. I can’t afford a physical therapist and I don’t think they would do much help. Anyway I really really needed this video. I am trying so hard to continue to use my knee, but it hurts so badly some mornings that I can’t bend it I can’t walk and it’s very hard for me to continueto keep trying to use it when it hurts bad

Thanks! Have been having pain for two weeks and after trying this is feeling a lot better.
Hey there! You are very welcome! We really appreciate your support! And we are so glad to hear that you are feeling a lot better!
Knee pain was causing me sleepless nights and in the morning taking 15 minutes trying to get my knee joint to painfully clunk into place. I couldn't straighten my knee at all when lying down. I had to have pain medication every day. I had stopped doing all but the necessary housework and going to work (sitting all day). I started using the advice here and I can now stand and walk with little or no pain within a maximum of 3 minutes and life is so much better. Im moving on soon to the recovery exercises and also the foot exercises which I had to stop. I highly recommend you give it a go.
thanks once again i"ll try now...lets see how it works...hopefuly it will
Hey Dr. Ialbiakmawia, You are welcome! We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!😃
