Glute exercises are CRITICAL for fixing knee problems for the long term! NOT quadricep or hamstring muscles.
In fact, strengthening quads and hams might feel good in the short-term, but more strength tends to make knee problems worse over time.
Getting stronger in the quadricep and hamstring muscles will create more arthritis, meniscus problems, cartilage damage, tendonitis, IT band syndrome or ligament problems.
The reason quadricep and hamstring strengthening makes knee problems worse is because it creates more knee pressure, rather than reducing pressure. Over time, this creates more inflammation and knee injuries worse.
This is sooo backwards thinking from what is usually recommended: Knee problems = Knee muscle strengthening.
But the research is growing more and more. And the patient success stories are growing too!
Really the only time we recommend patients directly strengthening their quads or hamstrings is after a traumatic knee injury (like a car or sports accident) or surgery (ACL, meniscus or knee replacement) because these muscles will be much less active after these events.
But if you haven’t had a traumatic knee injury or knee surgery, and your knee problem just crept up over time with normal everyday activities and exercise then you MUST pursue glute muscle strengthening!!! And DO NOT pursue quad or hamstring strengthening!!!
Now I’m saying it’s bad to ever feel your quadricep or hamstring muscles working. No, they will work normally, but they should be secondary to your glutes with nearly every leg motion.
If you don’t feel your butt muscles getting tired regularly with leg exercises, then there’s a big chance you’ve got a muscle imbalance and you’re using quads, hamstrings or even lower back muscles too much.
It’s only a matter of time before a knee problem progresses to a chronic knee problem.
So get going on these glute exercises. Make your glutes work harder and more often. You need more strength back there and you need to use them more!
-----
Disclaimer! If your knees are swollen, locking, and painful when you move them, glute exercises are probably not for you right now. You likely have lots of inflammation and need to start with an easier exercise to get the swelling and inflammation down. It may even be necessary to visit a healthcare professional to get personalized guidance with your meniscus, knee arthritis, knee tendonitis, or patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Thank you!❤
Thank you!
Good
Dr. DAVID I am following you from London UK. I was diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis a year ago. I had 5 sessions with a physiotherapist without any relieve then followed a physio on You Tube until I stumbled on your videos about 3 months ago. I found your videos informative and entertaining and your charisma inspiring! I have been doing your glute exercises religiously and am delighted to report that the certainly work. I am now able to isolate and engagemy glutes doing the glute exercises , both standing and in the lying position AND walking ( that was a tremendous video). You were correct when walking you have to concentrate. In 3 months I am now pain free and consider it fortuitous to have 'discovered' you. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your emphasis on the importance strengthening the glutes. It certainly helped me big time. With gratitude, Susan
Can u help me with these gluteal exercises…I’m suffering from knee cap pain fr the past 12months
Finally I find someone who offers advice that actually makes sense especially for people with athritis
Hey Anma, thank you for the kind words and we are glad that this makes sense to you! Keep us updated on how you are doing!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I definitely will update. The struggle of finding the right exercises has been real for the past 4 years
I have mastered the stairs at 70 with your glutes strengthening. OMG I was in excruciating pain with the stairs.
last year I got shots. Nothing helped
NOW
NO PAIN
this is miracle advice.
I AM BEYOND GRATEFUL
You have helped me tremendously. My right knee has been clicking for 1 year. It clicks when I bend it. I sometimes have pain, but for the most part, it is pain free, but very annoying. Literally, my knee will click going down each step. I went to a physical therapist, and he told me to do most of the exercises that you recommend NOT doing. I went one time, saw that most other PTs on UA-cam were recommending the same exercises, and never went back. Then, I found you. You are different. You make so much sense. I am 35, have always been reasonably active, healthy weight, etc. However, my glutes being weak made total sense. Even when I would do lower body moves, my quads were doing most of the work, leading to an imbalance. I have been doing the exercises you recommend and the clicking has finally reduced. I think I will be able to get it to go away entirely. I am very, very pleased with the results. I can tell my knee is getting better and my glutes are getting stronger. I watch some of your other videos too for neck issues and I find that information helpful as well. Thank you for being smart and sharing your information on UA-cam. I hope everyone who has issues is able to find you. Your information is truly better than everyone else's. Please continue to share your knowledge. You are helping so many people, because honestly, I feel like a lot of "professionals" either don't care or don't know what they 're doing. And to anyone reading this who feels like they have a problem similar to mine, the 2 exercises I found MOST helpful were donkey kicks and clamshells. I do so many each day. I go slow and really think about working the glute specifically. It's not about getting some huge range of motion; it's about activating that glute muscle. Put your mind to the muscle, go slow, and you will get better. Stick with it too! If you have had an imbalance or problem for a long time, you most likely won't fix it in just a few sessions. It takes months of dedication doing these movements, but it does work!
I can’t believe it works!! My knee pain gone when I did butt firming for the first time and I can sleep better now. Thank you Dr El Paso Manuel❤. You are simply the best and so so kind and honest. You are there not because you need to create a content for UA-cam but you are there to help people. You are an angel on earth! Thank you ❤❤❤
Woohoo, glad you can sleep better now! 👏 Thank you for your kind words!!
Ty too, you're the best.
Me too! It works great!!❤

Thank you sir for your SEAMLESS ENDEAVOURS.
UPDATE: Dr. David, I thank you and my knees thank you. I have been doing the glute exercises daily for about 1.5 months and I am now pain free in my knees! Besides starting my exercises in bed as soon as I wake up, I also have become very conscious of doing them throughout the day.: waiting for an elevator, to cross the street, waiting at the bus stop even from stop-to-stop on the subway. I am loosing that hesitation to go up the steps or stepping off the curb in expectation of pain. Going up/down a flight of stairs is relaxed and calm.
I want to strengthen my trunk more and that will come in time. Rigtht now, I am basking in no more knee pain, that's the holy grail right there!!!! Thank you again and again!!!
I absolutely agree and thank you profusely , Dr. David! You are an amazing human who deeply cares about others!! And your knowledge and understanding and presentation is beyond kind!
My hips kill me n I compensate constantly to avoid firing the mxs
All unconsciously
It’s crazy
That is great to hear!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah your body system will do anything to avoid pain so the compensation is automatic. I hope you can find exercises and posture changes to correct the situation. Wishing you healing. 👌
Such great ideas and excellent descriptions thanks so much!!
Finding so much hope here! Thank you Dr and the community here. I woke up one day not being able to walk at all and I'm just 55. I literally was on the floor crying. Also doing this and trying hard to isolate the butt muscles. Along with avoiding inflammatory foods, I do see improvements. Still a little afraid and wobbly sometimes but what a difference! God bless you doctor for helping a lot of us!
Dear @pjjjsampang, sorry to hear troubling situation. I can imagine it must be quite a challenging time for you. Just want to say, you are strong and resilient! The fact that you are seeking precious and correct information like the good Dr is providing here and applying the information, I think you will succeed in your recovery and come back even stronger. May this be granted to you! All the best ☯️
I'm a 68 year old female, reasonably active.. light hikes walking swimming. I have been advised after taking MRI scans to have total knee replacement surgery. I have minimal cartilage & osteoartrhitis. I want to have the surgery as a last resort. I am so happy to have stumbled on your videos. I am definitely going to take your advice and hopefully don't have to go through total knee replacement
Hey @user-ko5qi1lf8t, we sincerely hope that you can get 100% better (without surgery) and back to hiking and swimming again!!! In case you need it! Here are playlists that might be helpful for you:

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you for this! I’m similarly situated!
Hey there. I am a female same age and situation. How are you doing? Any update?
Hi. Keep positive I'm in my late70s and have been active all my life. My knee has degenerated since I injured it 10 years ago. I've gone through the typical MRI/ osteo specialist route, but after being told my anterior meniscus is " for the bin", I ignored them, maintained my wholefood vegetarian diet, kept fit on the exercise bike (NOT walking) and keep all my leg muscles strong and balanced. I'm still able to compete and teach ballroom dancing at a fairly high level. So don't go the surgery route until you really have to. An enlightened surgeon once told me that, bad as it may seem, my own joints are better than any artificial ones. BUT, managing your knees will have to become an everyday part of your life. Good luck and best wishes
I too eant to avoid knee surgery!😂❤
I have been doing your exercises for 10 days straight. Already I am noticing a difference in my patella pain. I’m going to see my orthopedic doctor only for x-rays and a diagnosis but nothing more. I’m going to continue these exercises because they make sense. You make sense! You are the only one I’ve seen online that addresses the glutes. Everyone else talks about strengthening the quads. If I lived in El Paso, I would come see you! Thank you for everything you do.
I just signed up for your 28 day program. Looking forward to it!
Thanks for all you do
You said it.Dr David is a head of the curve.I am signing up for his 28 day program too !
Cool! Let me know if you have success.
I had a pulled and torn cartilage at 10 years old when someone tried stealing a 10 pound box of chocolates I won at a fair. My mom used a bread poutine to reduce the swelling at the time. I am in my 70’s now so I am tireless in working to keep that knee working . Walking Stairs is better already since I watched your Utube channel. Thank you so very, very much. From Midtown Toronto Ontario, 🇨🇦 Canada. Maxine
this Dr is one of the best, helped me more than any so far!!!
Hi Dawn! Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate you and your support! 🧡
Hi Dawn! WHOOHOOO!! We're soo happy we could help you! We love to hear this kind of news! :)
I have been told that both my left knee and left hip have "a lot of arthritis and I need joint replacements" from my ortho M.D. My pain level when I saw him was a 2/10. For the last 8 weeks I have been doing your exercises for the hip arthritis since the dr. said I should have the hip replaced first. I have found that after doing the exercises for over 6 weeks, my knee has no pain and the groin stiffness has lessened. I give you so much credit for being such a giving Dr. with your advice for people who (unfortunately) can't see you in person. So many ortho "surgeons" just have one advice-get joint replacements. I hope you are blessed many times over for your helpful advice.
I'm going to do these exercises every morning before I start my day.! Thank you. I am willing to do anything to avoid a knee replacement I've been told I need!
I can't believe a PT that really makes it easier to understand about muscle imbalance , incredible. Thank you do much for your videos! Actually changing my life and reviving my l9ve for strengthening and staying active! Please never stop your videos! Thank you , thank you, thank you!!
Hi Cynthia, you are very welcome! We are touched by your kind words. We are so happy that we could help! We are going to keep doing as long as people need help. Please take care! 🧡
I have seen 3 different physios here in the UK for a bakers cyst. I am only 61. I’ve had the cyst aspirated 6 weeks ago and a steroid injection. I’ve been back to my gentle gym classes as usual and the initial relief for 6 weeks, which felt amazing, has now started to decline and the cyst is coming back and easily palpable. NOT one single physio has mentioned glute strength!! Thank you ❤
Am a medical dr with long standing, years of right knee pain then hip pain recently. All resolved with glut exercise you recommended. Your explanation Simply the best. Thanks!!!!!!
Hey Miila! We are so glad you were able to find relief with these exercises!
I’m 36 y.o suffering from knees pain , visited 3 different orthopedics doctors 4 X-ray done , 2 mri for left knees and lower pain , took more than 400 non steroidal drugs pain killers and anti inflammatory pills ,20 physiotherapy Ift , then decided to get my own ems machine and still suffering from knees pain but so far no one advised me to focus on my glutes whereas I was strengthening my quads and hamstrings all the time , finally someone explaining my situation which is my glutes are weak and the way I walk (always focusing on my thighs) is the reason behind my knees pain , I’m working on activating my glutes and again this is my second day and somehow I believe this is way I’ll heal and treat my knees problems thank you doctor for sharing this
How do you feel today? Did it work by strengthening your Glutes?
@hicjammaatouk7875 did it work?
Dear David,almost 1 yr. ago I had a TKR .Do to a tibia fracture which occurred during the tkr, my rehab was delayed by one month due to restricted weight bearing . After 3 months of phyiso exercises, working hard. Unable to get away from the same persistent pain(inside lower corner) the physio instructor recommended I eased up a bit on my exercises.😂 . So I searched UA-cam for help, because I had hit a wall,referring to my pain. Your first exercise, toe turned in, pulling foot from straight to up under my knee, was fantastic, just what I need. The next day I knew I was on the right track. Working on all your recommend exercises now, always keeping in mind tightening my glute muscles has taught me thatIhaveweakness in my glutes. I feel our thankful for your help, I share and will keep sharing to anyone who could use your help. Your the best. Thanks again, Manitoba Canada Canada 🇨🇦.
You are the only physical therapist that I TRUST!
Hi Pam, Thank you so much! We are honored you feel that way. 🧡 We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Thank you for these exercises! I'm 52 and believe in prevention is best medicine!😊 I already go to the YMCA using machines (watched videos you talking more on that😊). We all need our WHY to stay motivated...for me, I want to travel to state and national parks and be able to hike, canoe, and explore.
Hi Muze Rhythm!
Thank you so much for sharing and so glad that you found the exercises helpful. Having a clear "why" is definitely the key to staying motivated, and your goal of exploring state and national parks sounds amazing! Keep up the fantastic work, and here's to many adventures ahead! 🌲🏞️🧡
ALREADY FEELING A DIFFERENCE AFTER ONE SESSION. Going to stick to it for a while. Knee pain like crazy. You rock. THANK YOU
YESSS!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear @lukasz2587!!!!
Thanks for letting us know this worked for you!!!!
Let us know how it goes for you as you continue!!!
Excellent guidance.The roots of most knee issues comes down to weak glutes. Thank you
Love your advice! NO ONE, not ONE professional has ever given me this information. I’m Dx with early OA, umm.. stiff “Tin Man” knee 🙄 I am trying everything you offer because IT MAKES SENSE! Thank you Doc!
Glad it was helpful Deeone! We hope it helps.
I am very thankful to your generosity to upload all the exercises for general public. I was scheduled for knee replacement surgery in December and right before that time I found your video and your confident that working on the glute muscles will make a difference. I accepted the challenge and just did few easy exercise that was possible for me to start with and I noticed significant reduction in my pain level. Although I took injection first to calm down my pain that was unbearable, but with these exercise transformed my life. I am very grateful that I found and followed your direction. Words cannot express my gratitude to find you in you tube. Thank you so much to challenge the surgeon world. I canceled my another surgery appointment in the June also. God bless you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was diagnosed with bone on bone about 10 years ago and advised to have double knee replacement or get a cane . I refused the surgery and they offered a short rehab. They told me to mostly strengthen my puter and inner thighs and a few butt exercises.
I have learned more from you in three days then I did the whole time there. I’ve never really had glut muscles but with your instructions I can actually feel them after only a few days. You are an angel!
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear Dawn!!!!
Thank you for letting us know how much you're learning!! We hope you get your glutes so strong you don't ever need to have surgery!!!
GLAD IT WORKED FOR YOU
So true Dawn, in just a few days you feel the difference. It's like your glutes are finally getting what they are designed for. It is wonderful!
So pumped I found you!!! Dealing with Mets in bones (breast cancer in 2015) and blown away by how quickly the arthritis hit. I’ve been active my whole life, so at 64 I was ready to rock and roll not be told cancer came back. So here’s to working my glutes! I love you for sharing being honest. Our world needs more beautiful people like you 💗🕊🙏🏻💪😘
Tried workout seems like it’s going to help
Thank u.
Metastasized to bones?
Arthritis is more pertinent than the cancer spread?
Hope ur doing well, whichever way it went!

Thank you so much doctor!
I can’t express how glad I am to have found you and your website! I so wish I could have known this years ago when I was younger. I am now up there with dirt 😅 and have always been teased over not having a backside. But in just a few weeks of doing things like you explain, I can feel it getting better and I can walk at times with no limping. God bless you 👍
Wooohooooo!!! This is great news Dawn! We’re sooo happy you’re doing better now!! Congratulations!!
Yes me too! But I am glad that I have these videos at my disposal ❤
Great news.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t say that enough. I am a 60 year old male with mild arthritis on the right knee. Weight loss and your exercises over the past few weeks has reduced the discomfort in my knee considerably.
That’s great
There you go! These exercises work on MILD ARTHRITIS ! Not for people with advanced osteoarthritis or replaced knees.
@@nalinivarma2729it helped me a lot and I have bone on bone arthritis. Of course each case is different. Blessings!
Dr. David....many thanks for sharing, keep up the good work...GOD BLESS!❤
THANK YOU so much!
Very good doc.! Thanks 👍
Love your work mate.
So informative, easy to follow and genuinely helpful.
Thanks from me in Perth, Australia.
I so enjoy your fresh and common sense approaches with knee deterioration! After 35 years working as a Registered Nurse and watching patients run to the partial or full knee replacements l now see the value of the real problems to avoid the pain and agony of knee replacement surgery. I feel for the patient's because l too am there now trying to make decisions. Mine will be as you say with your great results. I feel better and butt stronger. Thanks so much!
Once again thank you. I will include these exercises into my regular regime.
Thank you for these❤
Bless you, my dear. You’re doing a great job!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Dr. David.
Another good exercise instruction for the knees. 👍👍💟💟
Great! We're glad to help Cha Ng!
Wow fantastic video! Best I’ve found so far. Thanks for bringing some new and unique insights!!
Thanks for the info. Great stuff !!!
Extreme amount of valuable information that my PT has not ever given me. Fabulous vids & your easy way of speaking to the camera makes it very easy to watch.
Thank you Kevin!!! We're glad you found us and we hope you get better really fast!!!
Just subscribed after two videos. My knees have been killing me for years. I'll be adding isolated glute exercises now. Thanks !
you are such a genuinely helpful person i love your videos
I already do most of the exercises that you show here, I will try the others!
My knee was really messed up. I’m doing a combination of yours and another video I found. It’s helping a lot. At first I didn’t get any results . I still had pain until I found another video that has helped with this one
4:19 straight leg plea fire hydrant (quadruped hip extensions toes turned outward)
6:32 donkey kicks
8:24 wide knee low bridges
11:34 clamshells (isolate gluteus medius on side of hip)
14:11 isometric plea squat toes turned outward, wider knees, push hips forward.
Thanks for this ❤!
You are GREAT! LOVE watching you , & learning @ 73!
Thank you Diane!!! We're so glad you found us and are learning!!!

I've been addressing my knee pains by strengthening my glutes for several years but not so thoroughly as you DEMONSTRATED in this video. Thanks for devising and demonstrating these 4 low-stress exercises.
Thank you very much!

Thank you, Doctor for providing this video on knee pain exercises. I was suffering from Baker’s cyst and swelling behind my left knee. I found your video while searching for knee pain remedies and exercises. I started exercising my glutes with the exercises in your video and my knee pain and swelling almost gone. Thank you, Doctor! You are a godsend. You also gained a new subscriber!
Hey AZ, you are so welcome! We are so glad that you pain and swelling have almost completely disappeared! We really appreciate the support!
Thanks Dr. David... u have driven the point home about strengthening the butt muscles...already started following ur exercises....will reap the benefits ...
Hey Shyla! YES (fist pump)!!!
Get those glute muscles STRONG!!!!
Please give us an update on how it's going!
Thank you Dr..

Hey Trish! Glad to be able to help!
Thank you doctor for good health care🙏
Wow: I did the exercises once and felt better. I did not realize how important strong glute muscles were to overall knee health thanks for the knowledge.
Great exercises Dr David... been doing some of these though I learnt few new ones too... thank you🙏
How are they going for you Shyla? Are you getting stronger?
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Definitely YES!! Dr.David.. thanks to you ... looking forward to more nuggets of valuable information.
I started with sciatic pain, then pain in my left inner hip, then pain in both knees. I have been strengthening my quads with little relief. After finding your channel, I know I need to strengthen by glutes. Thank you for your videos which have helped me do much.
They do not cause further flare ups and are easy for me to do with little pain. If I encounter pain, I know to back off and rest. I have learned do much from watching your channel. You are the best!
Almost the same as me,
Started with hamstring pain from kicking a soccerball, then sciatica, then ankle and foot, and then hip and knee pain, right now im focusing on getting rid of the knee pain.
How are you doing now though?
Thank you!!
Wow so informative Thank you ❤
Thankyou! I love your honesty and compassion for people I will be trying these exercises. I am trying so hard to improve my Ostia Arthritis, thanks for going into detail about the good and the bad of the exercise!
You’re welcome Tessa!!! We hope you get better really fast!!! Let us know how it goes for you doing these exercises!
A great BIG thank you for your excellent, detailed explanations of what the problems are and how to fix them. I just received a diagnosis of knee arthritis. Luckily, I found your UA-cam channel. I have started some of the exercises, and I already feel physical - and emotional - relief. Importantly, with your encouragement and professional guidance , I now know that with determination and dedication to doing these exercises, it is very possible I can relieve the pain by correcting the issues and strengthening the under active muscles. Again, thank you for your generous offering here.🙏

hi, just came across your channel two days ago while looking into hip replacements which i was told i needed but my gut says otherwise so i opted for the ACP therapy " blood plasma injections, into the joint" which made some difference.
ive just started doing the exersises you ve shown in the videos and there helping after only a couple of days, the glute bridge and clam shells seam to hit the spot the best for me.
just to say many thanks for shareing your informating. :))

Dude!!!! This guy is the most genuine, honest and straightforward doc I’ve ever seen. I just had arthroscopic surgery on my meniscus 3 weeks ago. Thanks for the exercises doc!!!
I had a menisectomy on 8-2-22. How are you doing?
Thank you for the tips on how to do the Glute Bridge exercise. I’ve always struggled with those, but emphasizing pushing my back into the table and squeezing my stomach muscles and positioning my feet a little further apart REALLY helped!! I may actually be able to strengthen my glutes!! Which I’ve known for a long time need strengthening, but my knees are really bad, so most exercises hurt my knees! Thank you! Excellent video!!
Hey Cathy! You got this!

You're welcome Fred!!!
Thank you
I love this. I needed to hear this I had bilateral patella tendon repair surgery 2 years ago after I ruptured both patellas from a fall from a window. You broke this down way better than my surgeon, my physical therapists, and trainer. They never listened to my concerns because i have recently been having knee discomfort after nearly 3 years of being pain free. They just insisted that I work my quads more to fix my knees. I definitely appreciate this. This has changed everything for me.
I do these exercises but realized my quads were working more than anything else. Slowing down and concentrating on the glutes to improve the neuromuscular connection was helpful!
Hey L.A. W.!!! Slowing down will be key for you to get those quads to quiet down so you can actually train the glutes. Great job!!!
I have learned so much from you , thank you
You're welcome Dawn!!!
Best explanation of those exercises yet, good job 👍 Now I can feel them working. Thanks 🙏🏻
Just subscribed to your channel. I had a left knee arthoscropy done on 26th September and i am recovering at the moment. So good to have come across your channel. Very important to know that the healing takes longer than I thought. I will for sure follow your guidelines on the exercises I need to do to strengthen my glutes. Thank you.
Had a partial right medial menisectomy on 8-2-22 and been having lots of knee pain. I can walk and have decent range of motion. Comforting to know that it may take 12 months to heal. Going to do these exercises every day and see what happens. Hope you’re doing well.
I did these exercises and some different ones an my knee pain is little to not noticeable now, it took about a day or too, i can now play without pain. I think i woke my glute muscles or something. Thanks a lot
Wooohoooo!!! This is great to hear Apex predator!!! Thanks fir following up to let us know how you have done! Glute strength does wonders for most knee problems!
