  • These knee pain relief stretches & exercises don't necessarily need to be done in bed, but they may help relieve knee pain in the morning before getting up, and/or when going to bed at night. Buy a worksheet with these stretches & exercises at: www.askdoctorjo.com/knee-pain...
    Often with knee pain, we wake up stiff and sore. We can also have knee pain at the end of a long day. These simple knee stretches and exercises may help no matter when knee pain strikes.
    The first two knee stretches are an active assisted hamstring stretch and a knee to chest stretch. These will help loosen up the muscles around the joint and the joint itself.
    Heel slides are also a great way to get movement in the knee joint and help loosen the knee before you get up or go to bed.
    Finally, isometric exercises like hamstring sets and quad sets not only strengthening the muscles, but they also help loosen up the area by relaxing tight muscles.

    Hi Dr. Jo, thank you for posting these exercises. I have started to experience knee pain intermittently and my knees are very tender when I get down on them on the floor. Fortunately, they don’t bother me enough to curtail my workouts so I am able to complete my training whereby I only have minor discomfort while doing lunges and squats, and those are at the beginning of my workouts. I work out every other day for about 45 minutes to and hour and mostly work on upper and lower body strength. Any cardio work is achieved from weights and muscle stretching via machines. I hope the routines you showed in this video will help curtail or maybe even eliminate my knee pain. I have been able to eliminate impingement in my left arm and Plantar Fascilitis in my left foot with exercises only and no medicine or medical procedures. I feel I can heal and have better recovery with corrective exercises only. I am 68, vegan and have been training for 4 and half years.

    The doctor mentioned therapy when i went to urgent care yesterday. Since i haven't heard anything back about it, i thought i'd search UA-cam and found your site. this particular set of stretches is helping big time already. i goess, i never realized i needed therapy or exercises to strengthen my left knee coz i can barely walk and i'm off with no pay today. so no bueno. anyhoo, i hope this improves my knee pain issue the more i do them and check out your other videos on knee pain. I'm thankful for your channel.
