- Leg extensions, wall sits, quad sets, & pistol squats all are TERRIBLE exercises for knee osteoarthritis!!! Focus on doing glute dominant exercises instead.

All the exercise he said not to do is what my physio said to do, and it does help reduce the stiffness in my knee
You can do the first and second exercise😅, third one is not recommended as a physiotherapist
Exactly, I'm a phsio and I give these exercises to my OA patients. I have had read the literature and it clearly states that quad strength decreases knee pain for people with OA.
@@olympusmons7411agree. Just don’t go heavy on extensions.
@@olympusmons7411 same here
Ya, I'm confused. Last week I was told by my orthopedic surgeon to strengthen my quads and glutes for my knee arthritis. He gave me a referral for PT and a cortisone injection in my knee. Now I'm not sure who is right. 🤦♀️
Just say skip leg day at this point
Facts
Thank you doctor. I found you, tried a few exercises and this is a third day and I have less pain in my knee.
Quads stabilize the knee
I've done this for 50 years.Helps with arthritis of the knee
Can you cite why these exercises that the majority of physiotherapists recommend is bad for OA? I'm totally confused with your claim.
I’m with you on this one, Alfred
He’s the only one saying, don’t strengthen your quads. But I’ve noticed anybody who’s asking questions he does not respond. He only responds to people who agree with him
I still think he has a lot of great contact, but I’m kind of lost on the quad thing
I have articular cartilage damage on my knees and I’m trying to find stretches and exercises….anyways very confusing
@@matterafact what he taught in this video is correct, you only have to study biomechanics to realize it. most therapists are just copy and paste their exercises without much thinking. you need to glutes to kick in to support the quads. think of barbell squat, try to do it with knees rotate in vs out to notice the difference in your quads.
My orthopedic surgeon told me the same thing as far as the first he said about using the machine where you're pushing against resistance. My Dr said no one should be doing that one. But he didn't say anything about not strengthening your quads.
I sure wish this guy would respond as to why he thinks this is bad. Makes me nervous when they choose not to respond.
@@Chanatxmy doc even specifically told me even if leg extensions hurt you should still get maximum extension. I suffer from an osteochondral defect of 2mm on my lateral femoral condyle and shit gets painful under load.
I will say from my personal experience. The exercisew that were recommended to me from my physiotherapist are not working for me. They keep telling doing these exercisee will help but it is not helping. I am going to try what he is saying.
These are all the exercises I've been told to do for years!!! And yes they have made me worse. Glut strengthening are the best medicine!!!
Yes we feel the same way , it is the best medicine.
How can I focus on the glutes????? Thank you so much
@Valerie Becker you can strengthen your gluts by just sitting and squeezing your butt muscles. I do it while I'm sitting watching TV, in the car or anytime I'm sitting. You can ulternate cheeks. I found that the side I have more weakness my butt muscle is definitely weaker. Good luck and keep watching these videos! He has helped me so much!
@@leslimoore7929 what?!?! What kinda dumb shit is that? That absolutely does nothing..
same here!
You well explained all my knee pain , love your videos. you are savior of my life.
Open kinetic chain (leg extensions) and closed kinetic chain exercises [pistol or isometric squats) are not universally bad to the knees
What makes those exercises bad for the knees is not the exercises for themselves but doing them not having a well balanced, coordinated and integrated kinetic chain, where quads are way stronger than hamstrings and glute amnesia on top of that
You have to go from corrective and therapeutic exercise to create sound and good motor patterns to then progressively and slowly load them in order to make the tissues more resilient
Stability and isolation goes first and then mobility and integration
Whoa, so detailed, but thank you!
Can you add some references, do you have some studies that back up the information shared on this video?
this^
*crickets*
I am so glad I found you. I have bone on bone knees and sacrailliac in both hips. Your exercises helped and the don't do exercise were great advise too. Thank you so much for your UA-cam videos, they really helped me.
That's great to hear! Glad to know our UA-cam videos helped you 😊
Please tell us what to do as well as what not to, which you are doing in this video . Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Great advice, as usual!! Thank you!
Hey Angie! You're very welcome!
So we should just allow our quads to waste away so we become pathetic and frail? No way. The only way to stay healthy as we age is to maintain and increase strength, especially in the large muscle groups like the quads and glutes. Got knee osteoarthritis? You have to keep working these muscles to stay as strong as possible. If you’ve had knee replacement you have to work back to doing all these exercises to avoid becoming frail, weakly and disease prone.
Thank you for the advice, doc.
Great advice! Thx! 😊
Hey, you are so welcome! Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you
You're welcome!
My post-knee surgery is so much better after I discovered your channel for knee rehab! Within days of stopping the cookie cutter version of PT ghersoy exercises and doing yours…I have seen improvement of range of motion, swelling and reduction in pain! Thank you, Sir!!!!
Great advice. Thanks
No problem!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you sir!❤
Thank you! 💗
Timely find, thanks
Thank you very much doctor, God bless
Hey Sergiu! You're very welcome! God bless 😊
@@epmanualphysicaltherapyso what exercises should we do instead then?
thank you for your advice regarding kneartrises.
Plz let me know dr wich exercise will be beneficial for me i m 40 years old female with osteoarthritis in my both knees stage 4 and now my right foot also hurting a lot i need ur help
Thanks Docter
You are a gem
Many thanks 👍
Avoiding quad work may help with knee pain, but the atrophy and muscle imbalance consequences will be regretted.
Thank you so much 👍🩺😀
Thank you sir
I absolutely hated the ones where you had to lift your legs and hold it while laying down on your back. Between my back muscles and my thigh muscles I didn't know which one was worse!!
I lost full extension, which I think resulted in my having to use my quads to stand & walk. After TKR, the Fellow who visited me the morning after surgery pushed my leg down…essentially forcing an extension. Thankful that he did. It hurt! I continued to work on extension by placing my heel on a pillow and letting gravity pull my leg down. Thankful because now my leg is now straight and now I can follow your advice to work on glutes and no longer have to rely on my quads to stand or walk.
I m suffering from knee osteoarthritis from last 1 year ,could u suggest some excercise that Will help me,I was doing these excercises but no improvement.
Pistol squats are the ones I’ve been told to do here in uk by my physiotherapist 🇬🇧. I have bone on bone osteoarthritis and a meniscus tear! I wondered why it wasn’t improving and the exercise was so painful 😖 So glad I’ve found your channel ❤
I was getting shots for my knees. I saw a physical therapist on you tube stand feet 8” apart we will call neutral. tap your toe forward, n tap sideways,n tap backwards and repeat I haven’t had a shot in two years. good luck ❤
Great info. Ya I learned not to do the leg extension the hard way.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you. 😁💪I will look at the link later today.
I'm coming up on hip replacements and I've had knee surgery on one knee. Torn meniscus in both but the other one doesn't bother me anymore. It's felt the same as the surgical knee for a couple of years. I do your glute exercises but I have been doing extensions too. Wouldn't extensions be okay as long as you kept the reps high and the weight low and stretched daily? I do some yoga stretches, the ones my hips will allow anyway. 😂
What exercises can you do for your glutes that won’t exhaust your quads??
Hey Comaletha! Here are two great videos on glute exercises that do not work your quads! Hope it helps!

Don’t listen to this guy.. start learning your lowerbody muscles/parts and work on ankle/hip mobility.. thats main cause for knee pain. Most people are not flexible and have weak muscles from inactivity
I've bilateral osteoarthritis of the hip, which exercise can i use?
I wish if u were in my country to look after my foot. I am getting lots of pains even though I had an injection in the knee and is drinking tablets
Most annoying injury I’ve ever had. Constant contradiction
How then if you on top of knee OA have patellar tendinosis? How to start healing it without aggravating the OA? Tendons like isometric/heavy-slow resistance exercises.
It's been 2 month i have grade 2 miniscus tear i am facing issue in straightening my leg . I have seen your videos saying to do these exercises and here in this video avoiding.. please suggest me what to do🙏
I can't tell if this is sarcasm. Strong quads are absolutely crucial to prevent knee and arthritic pain. Of course putting excessive pressure on the knee is harmful but spreading false information is even worse. No wonder you have a microscopic following. Go figure
No disrespect but this dudes a quack… soooo don’t exercise your quads AT ALL and let them waste away, thus putting MORE pressure on thr knee from lack of quad strength?? No thank you… first time I EVER heard an orthopedic specialist or physical therapist say this…
But it really works for me, i only watch exercise that is apropriate for my knee problem since i don't have enough money for paying for hospitals and terapys..

My young PT at my 2nd appointment had me do the quad set.... I am back in pain X 1 week.
Well, this explains a lot.
I'm sticking with pilates then 😅 (I just noticed in pilates they rarely ask you to do any of these).
So can you tell me what are good exercise TO DO?
The mean ortho told me to find bew friends and just work ny quads.
He shouted at me. So I refuse to follow him now and do ny own research.
I'll follow you and just work ny glutes instead of quads
What is yout opinion about the ‘kneesovertoesguy’?
u gave the solution but offered no version of glute exercise - can u share a few?? thanks

I play basketball as a center and i jump to get rebounds. Is that ok?
YOU are a MARVEL!!!
How about stair climber… when I do it, no pain, no pop, crackle and snap sounds. 😅
so what to do for quad muscle?
Dude just rejected all the UA-cam videos 😂
Can you explain us why???
I also have injury.. what exercises should I do?
And please don't tell me to squeeze a ball between my legs.
I understand what you’re saying, but my quads need worked on. What do I do then I don’t know if I have arthritis I have more of a meniscus problem.
Hey Gaylalnn! You may be correct that your quads need work as well, however, the more important muscle to concentrate on is usually the glutes. Once the glutes are active and strong, then incorporating quad exercises into your normal routine is perfectly fine! We have a lot of other content available for meniscus in case you would like to look into that. Here is a link:

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you for the info! 😊
Could you cite your sources? I agree that glute strenght exercises for OA, because most OA patients also cope with weaker hips and/ or lack of hip extension (sometimes because of the decrease in knee flexion, common symptome of OA). Every Physiotherapy guideline/ protocol informs that you that you also engage knee extension exercises, because especially in knee OA the quads gets weaker and stiffer which results that people walk with bended knees and cant fully extend the knees in swing phase + loading response (which actually increases the impact of the knee joint).
So why would knee extensions be a bad thing if its helping with the swing phase of knee OA patiënts? And how would you say biomechicanically say otherwise?
Not an attack/ critisism. i’m seriously curious in your explination, maybe theres a new study im not aware of.
Idk bout you but no exersize has ever made my glutes tired😂 is that even possible
So what exercises would you recommend?
Hey Sammii, we have some great videos for this as well. Here are a couple of links that may be useful for you in case you are interested in learning more:

Some of us need stronger quads.
stronger quads take pressure off the knee joint no?
Hey Rae! Not necessarily! Your quadriceps pull on your patellar tendon, which could impact your arthritis condition if there is not a good strength balance between your glutes and knee extensors. Here is a playlist with several videos and explanations on this:
“Knee Arthritis Pain Help”
ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i.html
Hope this helps! All the best
So what for quads ?
Hey PepperMD, thank you for your question! We understand that the advice about limiting hamstring and quad exercises may seem counterintuitive, but let's think of it as finding a balance, just like a seesaw.
When it comes to knee arthritis and muscle imbalances, the hamstrings and quads tend to be more dominant, like the heavier side of the seesaw. This can put excess pressure on the knee joint, leading to discomfort and potential issues. Our suggestion is to focus on
strengthening the glutes and engaging the core muscles, which act as the other side of the seesaw, helping to restore balance and reduce strain on the knee.
You can go back to working the hamstrings and quads as soon as you are confident the glutes are stronger. You will know when the pain subsides in your knees but you will need to make sure that the strength in the glutes, hamstrings, and quads are balanced.
Of course, we acknowledge that everyone's situation is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. We encourage you to listen to your body and if you don't feel like focusing on the glutes is going to work for you then do what feels best.
❤
Where are glute excerises pls?
Why would you refrain from working quads at all.
Healthy balance between glutes and quads is important. One building one muscle is not the way to go if you want to play sports.
I don't understand why you would post a video on how to hurt your knees. Better to post the correct exercises.
Hello, we have many videos showing exercises to perform for knee arthritis. The reason we have created this video is to warn people that some exercises may actually be causing them more issues.

Because these improper excercises are exactly what we have been prescribed and gotten worse. So we need to not do these. There are plenty of yt with the right excercises if you look at his play list.
I was good walking up my steps . With all I had the pain. Infact it was better. Like nothing was wrong at times. My hamstrings were better going down steps. Foot positio was better. down..(hamstring,) had alot of pain but step were OK. Got better.. not the pain in general. just down the steps.. but i was getting better.Until the PT much to my protesting blew out my knee and leg with exercises I told her I should not do.. I should have just refused. Then she dropped me from PT saying I was non compliant. If I was non compliant I would not have gotten hurt. There were many other exercises she should have had me do to help me.
Now im worse off than before.. No pain med. Or treatment.forth coming..pain got worse. Knee and hamstring. Knee very stiff sore painful. Someone had her hurt me no doub. This is more serious than it sounds. Blame is alll on me.😢.😮
Terror, panic.
The first one is instructed to runners for knee strengthening:(
ok, but how can you strengthen your leg extensors? Just don't?
Hi Romed, It's best not to as they are usually overworked. In case you are interested we do have additional information and exercises in a playlist we have compiled for knee arthritis. You can check it out here:
“Knee Arthritis Pain Help”
ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i.html
We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thanks for the playlist. But the leg extensors being overworked? How? The big majority of people don't do enough exercises to even stay just somewhat healthy.
As for me, I need to strengthen all my leg muscles, including the extensors as my upper body is too strong and heavy relatively to the base. This gives me lots of problems with my back, which is weakened due to old injuries and degenerative damage to the spine.
I train Tai Chi and Qi gong and also some Kung fu and came to realise that my legs and my core muscles are too weak.
I had the knee arthritis under control with turmeric and exercises until I increased the intensity of my training. Now it's bloomed up again, but I cannot ignore the need of more strength in my legs for the sake of my lower back.
@@romedbucher2854 How are you doing now? Want to know what exercises have you been doing to fix the issue.
Lower region of the body stores trauma. You practice Qigong so you must know the whole pelvic area can store trauma. Blocked energies. Which blocks movement- thus resulting in tight hip flexors or pelvic floor dysfunction. Target to fix the mechanics of the hip and pelvic joints.
I suggest you go for pilates as they focus on balance, which targets the main roots and causes of the body's imbalance and improper movement. Bad posture and bad habits are mostly the reason of the body's imbalance and thus causes so much problems. If you are aware and gain clarity on the subject, of learning the proper and correct method to use our body's mechanics(the right exercises, good flow of movements, good posture, healing blockage of energies, healing trauma, discarding bad habits for your health, balancing of the mind, body & soul, always having a peace of mind and gratitude) all these underlying issues will be solved.
You have to understand and be clear on what a certain exercise is targeting and how if it’s helping you strengthen your muscles or are you straining it. Be conscious of how your body is feeling and going through so you can target and address them correctly and can avoid unnecessary troubles. Don't blindly follow what anyone's teaching you to do. Try the exercises with an open mind, do your research, and note if these exercises are improving your body's health state or your feeling some sort of discomfort. Remember, you're recovery journey relies on your clarity on the issues, and always be in a confident state that you have healed and you're healthy and strong and much better than before. Always be positive and stay strong.
