  • Knee stretches that give you the BEST bang for your buck...🔥
    When it comes to knee arthritis, continuing to improve/maintain range of motion is key to make activities like walking and stair climbing possible. Arthritic knees can become stiff and achy so these gentle stretches can also help to bring some relief especially in the morning.
    Adding movement to your stretches can help to further improve mobility, increase blood flow which can help to reduce tightness and can help to make the results last longer. Your knees are then able to work through the range of motion of bending and straightening better than with passive stretches.
    Here are the top 3 knee arthritis stretches that can be done daily (as long as they feel good!) from Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist. She is even joined by a special guest!

    I had my kneecap removed 1976
    My dr said it had rotted.
    I had a accident 1969
    Both bone fractures extremely below the knee.
    1970 my therapy was ice cold water of knee
    Then a Rack where I lay on my stomach and weights were used to bend my knee.
    I use to beg my mom to not take me to physical therapy.
    I was doing ok after the kneecap surgery
    But now I’m having problems.
    But your videos are helping me.
    I think maybe something is rotting in my leg so I might have to ask my dr for a diagnosis.👍

    Very stiff left hip, R knee pain lots of grind/popping feels unstable; low back/sacrum nerve damage. I’ve just started your exercises & already have a general feeling of wellness. I believe it’s getting better blood flow to those weak areas.
    Love your channel!! The Best!

    I think these exercises, especially the 3rd exercise is a great transition for people with knee pain to the ATG split squat. I wish I had known about them several months ago. I went right to the split squat, with knees over toes. I could only bend my knees slightly without pain. Over 3-4 months of just doing 3-5 squats a day, I have reversed the pain I had in both knees. I'm pretty much normal now, with occasional minor discomfort in 1 knee. If I spread these squats out through the day, I will have even less discomfort.and stiffness. I can run now without discomfort, an amazing turnaround. And my knee mobility is greatly increased.

    Thank you so much! I have arthrosis in both knees and this channel is very helpful.
    Can you do a content about leg length indifference / pelvic tilt?
    My biceps femoris in the shorter leg is so painful and i think its because of this. How can you balance those indifferences?
    Massages only help until the next 30min + walk. Then the pain starts again. I am desperate. Fasciarolls/stretching also helps just until the next walk. How can you "cure" this?

    Consider trying hydrotherapy, which involves exercising in warm water. The buoyancy reduces stress on joints, and the warmth can soothe arthritis symptoms. Consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine, including hydrotherapy, to ensure it aligns with your specific condition.
