Way back in 2009, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both my knees. I tried otc meds, therapy, different shoes, lots of different things with no improvement. I lost weight-although I was not extremely overweight to begin with, exercised more. No good. Over the years (I am 61 now) I have seen several different health professionals: orthopedic surgeons, arthritis specialists, pt people, etc. With each one, they wanted me to take pain meds. When I asked how that will help long term, except make the joint wear out faster if I use my knees more-they have nothing to say except that there aren’t any other options other than surgery. Your channel is the first place I have heard anyone say anything else.
YOU Just fixed my meniscus last week. Then today I showed my sister how to fix hers. POP! We heard it. She's fixed! What a sincere helper soul you are. Sending loving prayers
Hi Nancy, That is so awesome to hear! We are thrilled that you all are feeling better.🎉 Thank you so much for sharing your experience using our techniques. We appreciate you being part of our community! We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Hi Sundayschoolnetwork, If you are having knee meniscus issues we have a playlist you might find helpful. 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'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you. I'm active, 68 y.o. female. I walk and bike. About 2 weeks ago I had a bit of pain in my left knee, which I've never had before. It got progressively worse over the next three days. So I started icing, elevated and rested it. There was a bit of swelling below the knee cap, so my daughter thought I should see a doctor, which I did. I'm reluctant to see doctors... 😂. Anyway, he took an x-ray and told me I have arthritic narrowing, which I could see was a bit more narrow than the right knee. He said I probably have a meniscus tear too. He recommended PT. I went to the first one. I'm debating going to the next one. I had started doing some of your glute exercises even before going to PT. I've been doing light biking and a little walking, plus the glute and quad exercises recommended at PT as well as on your channel. The pain has definitely lessened, but I still feel it slightly.
3 months, pain med free. Extended walking to 4 miles, using hiking poles. It's slow but I'm focussed on activating glutes not quads. Mentally I'm in a much better place, no longer in fear of the pain, no longer inhibited by pain, focussed externally on others rather than being consumed internally by pain. Love the analogy, medical profession cutting the wire to the red light, bravo.
Thank you for breaking thru the negative belief systems around arthritis, knees etc... 15 years of trying to manage this and now I feel I've seen the light...thank you
I stopped trusting doctors after my meniscus tear, I have been through cortisone injections, anti-inflammatory medications, PRP injections and when nothing worked they recommended surgery (which I rejected). I spent a fortune...not one of the 3 doctors I paid handsomely ever talked about PT, anti inflammatory diet, natural supplements or therapies like ayurveda or massages (both helped me a lot with the inflammation). This channel was a Godsend, after 1 month of exercises and the correct diet I started feeling better and the pain and noises and inflammation are now way way better and I almost walk properly. Time and patience and perseverance are the key, I know it is gonna take some more time to get back 100% but I am on the right path finally. Thanks
I can relate to everything you say here. 11 months ago I fell off a ladder at work, twisting my leg. X rays first showed an avulsion fracture of the 5th metartarsal. After 8 weeks in a moonboot I was sent to an orthopaedic surgeon. I complained to him that my knee (same leg ) was very painful and I had a fluid filled bulge at the back of it. He said he wouldn't look at it because the Work Insurer had only mentioned the foot, not the knee. After another couple of weeks he said that I was healed. My foot still hurt to stand on it and my knee pain was awful. My Work Insurer said I had to go back to work. Long story short - 2 days before I was due to start I fell down in my backyard because my leg just gave way. An MRI showed a high grade medial root meniscus tear. I had been walking ( hobbling) on it for 3 months. Injections and then surgery followed. I am still in pain. My other knee is also very painful because I have favoured it for the past 11 months. The fracture took 9 months to grow back together. Anyway, I'm still in pain and have just had another MRI. The words knee replacement have been mentioned. I feel gaslit and not heard by these so-called experts. I am taking responsibility for my own health from now on. I had one session of Bowen Therapy which really helped the pain level. I am not killing myself with arduous physio sessions or trying to walk miles only to end up on the couch and unable to sleep because of the pain. I will not be having further surgery.
@MichelleBirchley I hope you get a good workman's comp layer. Esp if they tell you that they won't pay for the knee. That is bs the flow of your body, with the fall from the ladder. Your whole body was effected. I'm going through the same thing right now.
RIGHT ON! I've been doing your hip arthritis program for just over 2 months, and I'm seeing MAJOR improvements. Not back to normal yet, but WAY better. It's actually rather mind-blowing.
Following your advice has helped me almost completely heal my pes anserine bursitis. I’m about 75 to 80% healed. But your advice was way better than what my orthopedic advised. I am forever grateful.
I stopped pain medication after reading about how they work. I have a meniscus tear and working on it by following your recommended exercises. Already getting relief gradually. I have developed faith in you thinking if he is so confident I must trust him and work on my knees. Thank you Dr. Lots of blessings. Since you have such a positive approach i wish you could explore Indian yoga. It is excellent.
I go to a well established knee clinic, named after the Dr., who is in his 70's and continues to see patients. I saw him 2 wks ago after flare up in my lesser osteoarthritic Lt knee. He told me "You didn't come in for the bad Rt knee bc you are not having any pain" I replied, " thats right," he said, " well I'm glad the Lt knee brought you in bc with the stiffness in this Rt knee that u have, you will begin to have PAIN!! He said the reason a person has pain is due to STIFFNESS! Think we can all agree that stiffness is not good. I so want to get one of El Paso's video to him! He doesn't push surgery, his goal is to keep his patients off the surgical table- which i do appreciate!
Carnivore Diet! Eliminates Glutens which cause inflammation, fatigue skin issues, brain fog, arthritis, Fibromyalgia etc etc etc 😢 Dr Peter Osborne's book NO GRAIN NO PAIN gave me a pain free life and ENERGY!
@bradcampbell5766 Tx for stiffness, I used a device called IdealStretch for knee extension, also place back of ankle on foam roll with a wt below my knee to maintain forced downward pressure on it; I also attempt to touch my heel to buttock. These exercises really do help! I reluctantly did a round of oral steroids for Lt knee swelling so I could perform exercises better. You're correct, steroids are not a solution for long term.
@bradcampbell5766 Use device called IdealStretch for stiffness, also prop heel on foam roll and place a 10# wt below knee to exert pressure. Bend knee and attempt to touch heel to buttock. These exercises really do help! Yes, steroids are not a solution.

Thank you for all this information. I will work on my glutes. I was told I need knee surgery on both knees. I have heard such horror stories from so many who have had knee replacement. Thank you !!!
Thanks for this valuable information . I m diagnosed with stage 4 arthritis and advised surgery . I only did native medication in Sri Lanka and stopped the regular physio exercises. And concentrated on strengthening the glutes while on bed and sitting . I'm slowly recovering from pain no oral medication except fish oil and vitamins and continuation of native therapy for over 3 months now (where they put a pack made of herbal medicine on the knee and bandaging it . Lastly they put a medication made with ghee to improve cartilage on the knee) . So I'm 56 and need to delay the surgery as much as possible . Here I'm now walking better and pain free and now climbing stairs very carefully and hopefully I will go for my long walks very soon . Your advice really works and give hope to people who prefer alternative methods .
I agree with you, Sir! My mom had knee replacement but she still has the pain and very overprotective with any touching of her knee. I wished I saw your video before she passed away.
Yes, true. I am trying to do PT now for a 30 yr old stroke that left my left leg weaker, yet I ran for years. My only pain is after rowing or stationary bike, since I no longer run at 66. My knee ortho said I don't need new knees, and my meniscus tear is horizontal which will heal. He did a injection of hyaluronic acid, but I heard that this is only helps after like 5 times. I don't take pain pills or cortisone. I tried Stem cells on both knees, but was told it might help the right knee only as arthritus. But staying on top of it with PT is where I will see it "fixed" like David says.
Sir you are truly a Godsend. I watched you video on strengthening the glutes just yesterday and started doing the exercises and already I know that this was the missing link. Please keep up the amazing work. You are the gift that this world needs.🙏🙏🙏
I was going to physical therapy and I had to take Advil prior to going to PT. I just had a couple MRIs. One for my lower back and one for my right knee. I have slight bulges in my spine and small tears in my knee tendons.
I just hyperextended both of my knees. This was in January. It is now November and I went to the orthopedic doctor told him what my problem was the muscles the spasms, the aching walking weird hurting my back and all he wanted to do was give me new knees and I said that’s not my problem. He said your knees are bad yesI’m 74 years old. I’ve danced. I’ve read motorcycles. I’ve walked on concrete in Home Depot for 14 years. Yeah they’re bad but they don’t hurt and he walked out.
Hey there, I’ve recently been in a lot of pain with osteoarthritis in my knees. Quite by accident, I ran across a video about earthing also known as grounding. I bought a grounding sheet and put it on my bed. Within 3 days, my knee pain was reduced by about 90% and the inflammation pretty much disappeared. There’s a lot of science behind this. I wondered if you could maybe do a little research on this and offer an insight. Honestly, this may help a lot of your viewers and compliment the incredible advice you already provide. I’m a total believer now in grounding and absolutely know it helped me.
Hi Squeeshi, You are welcome! We are so glad that we are able to help. Thank you so much for being part of our community. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
So this is BRILLIANT! The root cause, not the symptom!! Thank you doctor!! I'm so grateful for the medical professionals who are Daring to do something else other than medications and surgery! Healing is natural, it takes time, patience is required, but the body will heal with time and proper conservative treatment like this good practitioner is telling. Thank you, we need to hear this more. 🙏
Thanks! I have been diagnosed with "bone on bone" arthritis in both knees, but my goal is to stay off the operating table. Your videos have been very helpful and encouraging to me. I am getting cortisone shots though and might get viscosupplementation injections if the cortisone shots quit working. These will temporarily help while I am working on walking better to correct muscle imbalances and continue to overcome multiple orthopedic birth defects. Plus an ACL that was torn more than 30 years ago. Since walking has always been problematic for me anyway, learning a new way to walk is okay with me.
for whatever this might be worth, i'm very old and find that added intermittent heat to ailing body parts via a heating pad OR sunshine OR infrared light, is a help, plus, self-massage ALSO! ps: i LOVE that you raise the info about stem cell usage and btw, William Li is great at explaining about this in enough detail wherein the common people can grasp it aND CHANGE THEIR FOODS INTAKE HAPPILY.❤
Dr. David….. can you send me your video on patella tendinitis or sprained paletta tendon around the knee ( or is it a ligament .?)… I do believe it is an imbalance due to pronation and constant irritation with walking down gravel inclines and some heel slippage inside my shoe….and maybe a weak hip as well as muscles …..I’m 74 and been limping for 8 weeks… now with horrible back pain too because I’m hunched over with two canes and sitting too much…..scheduled for some PT but waiting for it to heal somewhat before starting….but I keep re spraining it ( hopefully I’m not tearing it)….I’m sure I’m off balance somewhere…..it all started by stepping wrong twice… I sure felt that……I also would love to see a good pic of the knee anatomy… thanks.. you are awesome…. And a huge blessing for getting the truth out there!… pamela
Hi Shirl, The best way to fix the muscle imbalance due to knee pain is to focus on glute strengthening. We have a playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here: “Knee Pain Exercises, Stretches, Advice, & Tips Playlist” ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mY02hvFckRQO55HfAqDtWrM.html We also have 2 videos to help improve glute strength: “Top 5 Glute Muscle Exercises For Knee Pain” ua-cam.com/video/NXdCjT2QtJA/v-deo.html “Top 6 Standing Glute Exercises To Help Knee Pain” ua-cam.com/video/jD7IRBfJ-mM/v-deo.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!
Thank you for replying Dr David/@@epmanualphysicaltherapy . I found a Play List of yours on the top 5 which knee pain relief exercises which features glute strengthening. I will beginning really trying to do those. Its only my right knee that’s painful with weight bearing ( like climbing stairs) . Is there a video on how to learn how to strengthen glues without firing up the quads? Thats easier said than done. That’s been my problem. Quad domination in leg exercises ☹️.
Thanking you again for your wonderful informative clips !This one is excellent ,I will carry on strengthening my glutes and toes .I"ve been told I need both knees full replacements done !!I am on the urgent list still another year to wait ,so I"m hoping my knees will be better through using your muscle imbalance work .I am definitely joining your course .Thanking you again .
Thank you for the information. I love how you tell it like it is. Everything you say is true of how doctors treat your knee pains. A lot of good information and have been doing your exercises. Starting to feel better.
I appreciate you Sir. I have been telling people about your program therapy and teaching. You are a Blessing in disguise found! GOD BLESS your Truth in this journey.
You are absolutely the best. This video is so wonderful describing about muscle imbalances. I live in Connecticut and I would travel to Texas just to see you. I have a lot of minor problems. So I won’t be coming there. But I’m going to listen to all your videos and do everything you say. Your attitude is so wonderful with your holistic thinking. You are a true blessing thank you thank you thank you.❤
6 years ago I was supposed to have knee replacements but I opted out and did exercise with kinetics so glad I didn't I'm 95 % pain free and have very little limitations. Really good video well sir. Steve from the UK.
Thank you so much for the information! I’ve received A2M shots, stem cell shots and PRP…and will continue PT and strengthening the other weak muscles. Your video gives me motivation to make this a lifestyle and not to neglect the root problem.
I have sciatica, bone on bone hip osteoarthritis, all on one side and a very painful knee. I love your videos but I don’t know where I should start? Which program to do first. Thank you so much for your videos. I totally resonate with what you’re saying and know that some of the things I have been told to do previously are causing more pain
Im about 3 years into recovery after being told i need a knee replacement. It was really bad, my foot turned out to the side and i only had 1/3 range of motion. Constant pain. 3 years later i have regained full range of motion,(foot still turns out a bit) i can now do 1 leg/pistol squats with no pain! Deep squats and deadlifts with substantial weight and i have 0 pain throughout the day. In my opinion strength training through a FULL range of motion with perfect form(took me a long time to get there) and diet are the most important factors. If i had listened to the "specialists" my knee would still be farked. I basically did the opposite of what they suggested. And check out "knees over toes guy" his content is very useful. Also the "squat university" channels "touchdown squat" exercise is brilliant for knee rehab.
Hi Devis, We are so sorry to hear that you have been struggling with such persistent knee pain. Many people don’t realize how exhausting and frustrating it can be, especially when you’ve already tried so many treatments like injections without finding relief. We hope you can feel some relief soon. If you’re interested, we have a Knee Arthritis Help Playlist on our UA-cam channel that might offer some helpful strategies. You can access it here: “Knee Arthritis Help” ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i.html Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity.

3 weeks in strengthening glutes and toes-28 year old knee injury feeling great!(I'm 61) I'm sure it's bone on bone, especially on ouside of joint. The very first day of concentrating on glutes,my knee rippled in bed,it was lovely! Thank you so much,for sharing your knowledge.xx
I have had knee pain since being a teenager. I am now 60 and I have had constant pain all that time. I have a condition called Hypermobility in my joints. Knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists and some fingers. I live on pain meds with all meals. I want to get more active but it is a painful process. I think I may try strengthening my glutes before I get into my walking regime.
Hi Dr. David. I love your videos, they are so useful. My knee pain is getting better. I have posterior medial meniscus tear. Is surgery the only solution for complete tear? I got better after the tear in July 2024. Then I went to physical therapy to strengthen my knee. May be the balancing on a foam mat in the advanced level didn’t suit. It started hurting my knee pain, I had some swelling , difficulty bending the knees , I still have pain in the right side of the left knee. I am following your glute exercises, pain relief exercises and for the stiffness. I would love to hear your suggestion.
In my experience, the red light therapy knocks down the pain, so I don't take medication, but the relief is temporary. Cold laser treatment (at home devices) has stimulated healing and improved range of motion. But you still need to do the exercises to deal with the muscle imbalance root cause. This experience is from my shoulder issues (rotator cuff partial tendon tear and secondary frozen shoulder).
How would you modify OA knee exercises for knock-knees--not severe, but my doctor wants to do a TKR. Thank you so much for the explanation of treatment options that my doctor didn't even mention during the consult. Doctors seem to be complicit in a scam.
I had a tear in my shoulder and your rotator cuff exercises helped heal it within 2 weeks. Now my other side needs help know one knows why my elbow and biceps goes into cramp changing clothes
Thank you for your advice and techniques. I have returned to better functionality being a walker and cyclist. I have been exrayed and diagnosed with mild osteoarthritis. As I progress I’m learning new techniques from you. Firstly, is walking backwards beneficial? And how to make my cycling less taxing on my knee. Thanks
I'm going for physical therapy. The first day I did some exercises there my knee pain woke me up at night. U was afraid to do the exercises at home. I have a few more spots and will see what happen next.
Hi doc I was seen your iner knee pain video I also suffer from knee pain from several years is that same what u shown in that vidio but on both side of knee my question is this iner knee pain feels in both side of our knee iner and outer part of knees because I have pain in both side
I rejected surgery! I'm doing Nordic Pole Trekking and it has pretty much eliminated the pain. I also swing my legs with six pounds weights and it helps too. Keep moving!

Hi my name is Nancy I started to watch your videos you are so right can you tell me what can I do to stop the arthritis in my knee I have a little bit and I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hand can you tell me to help me naturally🎉😢
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words. Since we don’t specialize in rheumatoid arthritis, we wouldn’t be able to offer specific guidance for RA in your hand. However, if you’re experiencing symptoms of osteoarthritis in your knee, our Knee Arthritis Help Playlist might be a helpful place to start for natural strategies you can try at home. “Knee Arthritis Help” ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i.html Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity.

I've been struggling with a patello-femoral issue for decades. I did everything docs and PT's said to do, exercise, injections, drugs. I think I knew none of it would help. I know my issue is mechanical, but I dont think theres anyone to help me figure that out. So frustrating.
My sciatica’s both hurt. I had surgery on both about 15 years ago but it has come back. Is there anything you recommend besides surgery. Please help🙋♀️❤️
Hi Judy, Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We’re so sorry to hear you’re dealing with that sciatica pain again-it’s tough to go through surgery only for the discomfort to return years later. We hope you can feel some relief soon. 🙏 For now, we’d recommend focusing on strengthening your glutes. Building glute strength can help stabilize your pelvis and ease some of the pressure on the sciatic nerve, which can make a big difference in your comfort. We have a sciatica help playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here: "Sciatica Pain Exercises & Stretches" ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maZPQPPtirn4oxj8oCPuIMR.html Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity.

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. You might also consider trying an inversion table to gently stretch your back and relieve some of that nerve pressure. Just a quick note-if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or certain other health conditions, it may not be the best option for you, so please check with your doctor first to see if it’s right for you. We have a video for them that you might find helpful. You can access it here: “Is an Inversion Table Helpful for Back Pain?” ua-cam.com/video/j61ImGQdFTM/v-deo.html We hope you found this information helpful.

What is treatment for bone spurs. I take phos food liq from Standard Process daily from chiropractor for the past 9 months. Do I keep walking outside despite the pain?
I ve osteoarthritis both knees, the left knee is swollen the cartilage is all gone ,stage 3 ,iam scheduled for steriod injection was told that knee replacement will be a better solution . Advise me Dr.
Plantar fasciitis Dr wanted me in expensive shoe inserts and cortisone shots. I healed it with increasing mineral intake, with an emphasis on magnesium. Orthopedic wanted me on pain meds, braces and surgery for knee and ankle issues after an injury. Fixed it by ingesting diatomaceous earth and strengthening the muscles
I have been fighting pain 4yrs after total knee replacement... it's so painful...I can't stand for very long before it starts and goes all the way up the back of my leg into my bottom.... do I need scar tissue removal surgery? And will it just come back?
Brillant. I too came to muscle imbalance as the issue to address. Yup did HA shots etc. I am noncompliant with the Tylenol script and the diagnosis of eventual knee replacement. Bunnies, use their knees more than me and I’ve never seen one with an artificial knee. CQ
I have chondromalacia patella grade 4 and patella alta with mild lateral maltracking. Small joint effusion n subchondral edema too. I tried doing glute strengthening exercises but they made my tailbone pain worse pls advise Dr David, will be very greatful🙏🏻 thanks
Orthopods have had their way with my right knee and both shoulders a total of five times. My current doc wants to do the exact same surgery on my right shoulder as another doc did 20 years ago. He wants to fix a bicep tendon that has come out of the bicippital groove, fix a rotator cuff tear, and grind down a bone spur. He is already eyeballing my left knee... "total knee replacement" noises coming outta him, while the slobber dribbles down like shoestrings between his 2" lower canines. Dang! I'm hoping I can fix them with autophagy, monoclonal antibodies, and stem cell therapy? By the way, my lower glutes flap around behind me, making a slapping noise when they alternate hitting the back of my thighs. I gotta hope your glutes exercises will do a lot more than fixing my knees. Maybe I'll quit having to worry about getting arrested whenever I wear a swimsuit. 🙄
Way back in 2009, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both my knees. I tried otc meds, therapy, different shoes, lots of different things with no improvement. I lost weight-although I was not extremely overweight to begin with, exercised more. No good. Over the years (I am 61 now) I have seen several different health professionals: orthopedic surgeons, arthritis specialists, pt people, etc. With each one, they wanted me to take pain meds. When I asked how that will help long term, except make the joint wear out faster if I use my knees more-they have nothing to say except that there aren’t any other options other than surgery. Your channel is the first place I have heard anyone say anything else.
Dentists are even worse!

3 months, pain med free. Extended walking to 4 miles, using hiking poles. It's slow but I'm focussed on activating glutes not quads.

What diet did u take?
Now my Dr was saying the meniscus could NOT repair its self bc of lack of blood flow. So is that not true?
I can relate to everything you say here. 11 months ago I fell off a ladder at work, twisting my leg. X rays first showed an avulsion fracture of the 5th metartarsal. After 8 weeks in a moonboot I was sent to an orthopaedic surgeon. I complained to him that my knee (same leg ) was very painful and I had a fluid filled bulge at the back of it. He said he wouldn't look at it because the Work Insurer had only mentioned the foot, not the knee.
After another couple of weeks he said that I was healed. My foot still hurt to stand on it and my knee pain was awful. My Work Insurer said I had to go back to work. Long story short - 2 days before I was due to start I fell down in my backyard because my leg just gave way. An MRI showed a high grade medial root meniscus tear. I had been walking ( hobbling) on it for 3 months. Injections and then surgery followed. I am still in pain. My other knee is also very painful because I have favoured it for the past 11 months. The fracture took 9 months to grow back together. Anyway, I'm still in pain and have just had another MRI. The words knee replacement have been mentioned. I feel gaslit and not heard by these so-called experts. I am taking responsibility for my own health from now on. I had one session of Bowen Therapy which really helped the pain level. I am not killing myself with arduous physio sessions or trying to walk miles only to end up on the couch and unable to sleep because of the pain.
I will not be having further surgery.
@MichelleBirchley I hope you get a good workman's comp layer. Esp if they tell you that they won't pay for the knee. That is bs the flow of your body, with the fall from the ladder. Your whole body was effected. I'm going through the same thing right now.
RIGHT ON! I've been doing your hip arthritis program for just over 2 months, and I'm seeing MAJOR improvements. Not back to normal yet, but WAY better. It's actually rather mind-blowing.
I tried strengthen my glutes this was a game changer my knee arthritis pain has reduced 85% amazing. Thank you!
Following your advice has helped me almost completely heal my pes anserine bursitis. I’m about 75 to 80% healed. But your advice was way better than what my orthopedic advised. I am forever grateful.
I stopped pain medication after reading about how they work. I have a meniscus tear and working on it by following your recommended exercises. Already getting relief gradually. I have developed faith in you thinking if he is so confident I must trust him and work on my knees. Thank you Dr. Lots of blessings. Since you have such a positive approach i wish you could explore Indian yoga. It is excellent.
I hope there are some doctors out there who are listening. We must all keep learning.❤
I go to a well established knee clinic, named after the Dr., who is in his 70's and continues to see patients. I saw him 2 wks ago after flare up in my lesser osteoarthritic Lt knee. He told me "You didn't come in for the bad Rt knee bc you are not having any pain" I replied, " thats right," he said, " well I'm glad the Lt knee brought you in bc with the stiffness in this Rt knee that u have, you will begin to have PAIN!! He said the reason a person has pain is due to STIFFNESS!
Think we can all agree that stiffness is not good. I so want to get one of El Paso's video to him! He doesn't push surgery, his goal is to keep his patients off the surgical table- which i do appreciate!
Carnivore Diet! Eliminates Glutens which cause inflammation, fatigue skin issues, brain fog, arthritis, Fibromyalgia etc etc etc 😢
Dr Peter Osborne's book NO GRAIN NO PAIN gave me a pain free life and ENERGY!
What did you get for treatments of your knee stiffness? If you get an injection, then the joint will continue to worsen is my understanding.
@bradcampbell5766
Tx for stiffness, I used
a device called IdealStretch for knee extension, also place back of ankle on foam roll with a wt below my knee to maintain forced downward pressure on it; I also attempt to touch my heel to buttock.
These exercises really do help! I reluctantly did a round of oral steroids for Lt knee swelling so I could
perform exercises better. You're correct, steroids are not a solution for long term.
@bradcampbell5766
Use device called IdealStretch for stiffness, also prop heel on foam roll and place a 10# wt below knee to exert pressure. Bend knee and attempt to touch heel to buttock.
These exercises really do help! Yes, steroids are not a solution.

that's exactly what it is & thank you for exposing it, Doctor. Having people do exercises & therapy that worsens a condition.
Thank you for all this information. I will work on my glutes. I was told I need knee surgery on both knees.
I have heard such horror stories from so many who have had knee replacement.
Thank you !!!
Very good anology thank you. A breath of fresh air . I give you 10 out 10. I am listening and trying my best to fix my muscles.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are not only smart but wise and compassionate. Thank you.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this valuable information . I m diagnosed with stage 4 arthritis and advised surgery . I only did native medication in Sri Lanka and stopped the regular physio exercises. And concentrated on strengthening the glutes while on bed and sitting . I'm slowly recovering from pain no oral medication except fish oil and vitamins and continuation of native therapy for over 3 months now (where they put a pack made of herbal medicine on the knee and bandaging it . Lastly they put a medication made with ghee to improve cartilage on the knee) . So I'm 56 and need to delay the surgery as much as possible . Here I'm now walking better and pain free and now climbing stairs very carefully and hopefully I will go for my long walks very soon .
Your advice really works and give hope to people who prefer alternative methods .
I agree with you, Sir! My mom had knee replacement but she still has the pain and very overprotective with any touching of her knee. I wished I saw your video before she passed away.
Yes, true. I am trying to do PT now for a 30 yr old stroke that left my left leg weaker, yet I ran for years. My only pain is after rowing or stationary bike, since I no longer run at 66. My knee ortho said I don't need new knees, and my meniscus tear is horizontal which will heal. He did a injection of hyaluronic acid, but I heard that this is only helps after like 5 times. I don't take pain pills or cortisone. I tried Stem cells on both knees, but was told it might help the right knee only as arthritus. But staying on top of it with PT is where I will see it "fixed" like David says.
Sir you are truly a Godsend. I watched you video on strengthening the glutes just yesterday and started doing the exercises and already I know that this was the missing link. Please keep up the amazing work. You are the gift that this world needs.🙏🙏🙏
Thanks!
Hey @SRC805, you are so welcome! We really appreciate your support!
Brilliant advice i so wish this guy was in the UK we desperately need him.
I had a bad pain in my left knee in spring, I've been exercising glutes and it works! Ican walk longer without pain, thank you💐
Good to hear @@annaawik989 👍🏾😊. Which glute exercise(s) did you do?
I was going to physical therapy and I had to take Advil prior to going to PT. I just had a couple MRIs. One for my lower back and one for my right knee. I have slight bulges in my spine and small tears in my knee tendons.
I just hyperextended both of my knees. This was in January. It is now November and I went to the orthopedic doctor told him what my problem was the muscles the spasms, the aching walking weird hurting my back and all he wanted to do was give me new knees and I said that’s not my problem. He said your knees are bad yesI’m 74 years old. I’ve danced. I’ve read motorcycles. I’ve walked on concrete in Home Depot for 14 years. Yeah they’re bad but they don’t hurt and he walked out.
Hey there, I’ve recently been in a lot of pain with osteoarthritis in my knees. Quite by accident, I ran across a video about earthing also known as grounding. I bought a grounding sheet and put it on my bed. Within 3 days, my knee pain was reduced by about 90% and the inflammation pretty much disappeared. There’s a lot of science behind this. I wondered if you could maybe do a little research on this and offer an insight. Honestly, this may help a lot of your viewers and compliment the incredible advice you already provide. I’m a total believer now in grounding and absolutely know it helped me.
Thank you so much for all the precious informations you’re putting out here 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Squeeshi, You are welcome! We are so glad that we are able to help. Thank you so much for being part of our community. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
So this is BRILLIANT! The root cause, not the symptom!! Thank you doctor!! I'm so grateful for the medical professionals who are Daring to do something else other than medications and surgery! Healing is natural, it takes time, patience is required, but the body will heal with time and proper conservative treatment like this good practitioner is telling. Thank you, we need to hear this more. 🙏
Thanks! I have been diagnosed with "bone on bone" arthritis in both knees, but my goal is to stay off the operating table. Your videos have been very helpful and encouraging to me.
I am getting cortisone shots though and might get viscosupplementation injections if the cortisone shots quit working. These will temporarily help while I am working on walking better to correct muscle imbalances and continue to overcome multiple orthopedic birth defects. Plus an ACL that was torn more than 30 years ago.
Since walking has always been problematic for me anyway, learning a new way to walk is okay with me.
Am trying to avoid surgery too !
for whatever this might be worth, i'm very old and find that added intermittent heat to ailing body parts via a heating pad OR sunshine OR infrared light, is a help, plus, self-massage ALSO! ps: i LOVE that you raise the info about stem cell usage and btw, William Li is great at explaining about this in enough detail wherein the common people can grasp it aND CHANGE THEIR FOODS INTAKE HAPPILY.❤
Dr. David….. can you send me your video on patella tendinitis or sprained paletta tendon around the knee ( or is it a ligament .?)… I do believe it is an imbalance due to pronation and constant irritation with walking down gravel inclines and some heel slippage inside my shoe….and maybe a weak hip as well as muscles …..I’m 74 and been limping for 8 weeks… now with horrible back pain too because I’m hunched over with two canes and sitting too much…..scheduled for some PT but waiting for it to heal somewhat before starting….but I keep re spraining it ( hopefully I’m not tearing it)….I’m sure I’m off balance somewhere…..it all started by stepping wrong twice… I sure felt that……I also would love to see a good pic of the knee anatomy… thanks.. you are awesome…. And a huge blessing for getting the truth out there!… pamela
Do the knee bands that you wear under the knee help? I have knee pain due to spinal problems so I am stressing my knee right now.
I am so glad to find your channel!! Thank you
Hey Tim, you are so welcome!
Thxs for this info. Can’t wait to hear from you how to fix muscle imbalance .
Hi Shirl, The best way to fix the muscle imbalance due to knee pain is to focus on glute strengthening. We have a playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here:
“Knee Pain Exercises, Stretches, Advice, & Tips Playlist”
ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1mY02hvFckRQO55HfAqDtWrM.html
We also have 2 videos to help improve glute strength:
“Top 5 Glute Muscle Exercises For Knee Pain”
ua-cam.com/video/NXdCjT2QtJA/v-deo.html
“Top 6 Standing Glute Exercises To Help Knee Pain”
ua-cam.com/video/jD7IRBfJ-mM/v-deo.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!
Thank you for replying Dr David/@@epmanualphysicaltherapy . I found a Play List of yours on the top 5 which knee pain relief exercises which features glute strengthening. I will beginning really trying to do those. Its only my right knee that’s painful with weight bearing ( like climbing stairs) .
Is there a video on how to learn how to strengthen glues without firing up the quads? Thats easier said than done. That’s been my problem. Quad domination in leg exercises ☹️.
Thank you@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Def world love to be treated by you if I lived closer to your State… but this info is 2nd best. Thxs 😊.
I ve had hip pain recently. Started doing the exercises (butterflies, bridges, glutes etc) pain improved tremendously. Thanks for the advise!
Thank you for another great video Dr David!
I wish all doctors take the patient caring approach you take to preserve and repair the body without chemicals. Bless you Dr. David
I think it might be a money thing.
Thank you very much for posting your links.

Thank you for the information. I love how you tell it like it is. Everything you say is true of how doctors treat your knee pains. A lot of good information and have been doing your exercises. Starting to feel better.
I appreciate you Sir. I have been telling people about your program therapy and teaching. You are a Blessing in disguise found! GOD BLESS your Truth in this journey.
You are absolutely the best. This video is so wonderful describing about muscle imbalances.
I live in Connecticut and I would travel to Texas just to see you. I have a lot of minor problems. So I won’t be coming there. But I’m going to listen to all your videos and do everything you say. Your attitude is so wonderful with your holistic thinking. You are a true blessing thank you thank you thank you.❤
6 years ago I was supposed to have knee replacements but I opted out and did exercise with kinetics so glad I didn't I'm 95 % pain free and have very little limitations. Really good video well sir.
Steve from the UK.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! I trusted you the most, and my knees are much better now after I balanced my leg muscles! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much you are inspirational and motivating me
Thank you...
Uhmm I'm sorry but I know I'm in South Africa but could I ask you ibubrufen is what my GP keeps giving me is there something else I can use
Great information I agree,Thank you!
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤
Thank you so much for the information! I’ve received A2M shots, stem cell shots and PRP…and will continue PT and strengthening the other weak muscles. Your video gives me motivation to make this a lifestyle and not to neglect the root problem.
This is applicable to all of our healthcare!
Hi Sunday, We think so too! 🙌
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy after 2020, it's hard to trust them. 😔
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge 🙏🏼
Hi @Theresafb1! Thank you so much for watching! 🧡
THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP SHINING WITH THE TRUE AND REAL AND YOUR SENSITIVE AND EXPERT ADVICE
Thank you! I love your honesty..... I subscribed so I could hear more of you.
Good man; good doctor. Real help.
Hi Richard, Thank you so much for the kind words! We appreciate you being part of our community. 🙌
I have sciatica, bone on bone hip osteoarthritis, all on one side and a very painful knee. I love your videos but I don’t know where I should start? Which program to do first. Thank you so much for your videos. I totally resonate with what you’re saying and know that some of the things I have been told to do previously are causing more pain
Im about 3 years into recovery after being told i need a knee replacement. It was really bad, my foot turned out to the side and i only had 1/3 range of motion. Constant pain. 3 years later i have regained full range of motion,(foot still turns out a bit) i can now do 1 leg/pistol squats with no pain! Deep squats and deadlifts with substantial weight and i have 0 pain throughout the day.
In my opinion strength training through a FULL range of motion with perfect form(took me a long time to get there) and diet are the most important factors.
If i had listened to the "specialists" my knee would still be farked. I basically did the opposite of what they suggested.
And check out "knees over toes guy" his content is very useful. Also the "squat university" channels "touchdown squat" exercise is brilliant for knee rehab.
Very true
Best advised
I really have bad knee pain.
I many did many kee injections
Spend lots of money .
But the pain is still there
❤😢
Hi Devis,
We are so sorry to hear that you have been struggling with such persistent knee pain. Many people don’t realize how exhausting and frustrating it can be, especially when you’ve already tried so many treatments like injections without finding relief. We hope you can feel some relief soon.

3 weeks in strengthening glutes and toes-28 year old knee injury feeling great!(I'm 61)
I'm sure it's bone on bone, especially on ouside of joint.
The very first day of concentrating on glutes,my knee rippled in bed,it was lovely!
Thank you so much,for sharing your knowledge.xx
You are the best
Thank you for your honesty and your knowledge. Very helpful.
Hey Kathy, you're so welcome! So glad we could help!
Hey Kathy! Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊
I have had knee pain since being a teenager. I am now 60 and I have had constant pain all that time. I have a condition called Hypermobility in my joints. Knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists and some fingers. I live on pain meds with all meals. I want to get more active but it is a painful process. I think I may try strengthening my glutes before I get into my walking regime.
Hi Dr. David. I love your videos, they are so useful. My knee pain is getting better. I have posterior medial meniscus tear. Is surgery the only solution for complete tear? I got better after the tear in July 2024. Then I went to physical therapy to strengthen my knee. May be the balancing on a foam mat in the advanced level didn’t suit. It started hurting my knee pain, I had some swelling , difficulty bending the knees , I still have pain in the right side of the left knee. I am following your glute exercises, pain relief exercises and for the stiffness.
I would love to hear your suggestion.
What is your opinion on the red therapy lights?
In my experience, the red light therapy knocks down the pain, so I don't take medication, but the relief is temporary. Cold laser treatment (at home devices) has stimulated healing and improved range of motion. But you still need to do the exercises to deal with the muscle imbalance root cause. This experience is from my shoulder issues (rotator cuff partial tendon tear and secondary frozen shoulder).
Can you recommend which one of your videos that could help me with my Aviator’s astragalus following an accident 10 years ago?
Excellent video!
Hey @klmjtr, thank you for your support!
It is all about posture and strengthening muscles.
Love this content!! B
Hi Hehtac, That is so awesome to hear! Thank you so much!
Thank you 🦘
Hi Deidre, You are very welcome! Thank you so much for watching. 🧡
How would you modify OA knee exercises for knock-knees--not severe, but my doctor wants to do a TKR. Thank you so much for the explanation of treatment options that my doctor didn't even mention during the consult. Doctors seem to be complicit in a scam.
Love you! Thank you.
How do we deal with arthritis and knee pain?
I had a tear in my shoulder and your rotator cuff exercises helped heal it within 2 weeks. Now my other side needs help know one knows why my elbow and biceps goes into cramp changing clothes
Thanks dr. What can you tell me about stem cell injection?
Hey doc. Could you please give a talk about deep squatting and how to do this and if it is helpful. Thanks in anticipation.
Thank you for your advice and techniques. I have returned to better functionality being a walker and cyclist. I have been exrayed and diagnosed with mild osteoarthritis. As I progress I’m learning new techniques from you.
Firstly, is walking backwards beneficial? And how to make my cycling less taxing on my knee.
Thanks
Thanks for the info my knee feels better with the glute exercise from the carribbean😊
Any elliptical pr treadmill machine settings that works in favor of knee-glutes that you recommend?
I'm going for physical therapy. The first day I did some exercises there my knee pain woke me up at night. U was afraid to do the exercises at home. I have a few more spots and will see what happen next.
Thanks
Hi doc I was seen your iner knee pain video I also suffer from knee pain from several years is that same what u shown in that vidio but on both side of knee my question is this iner knee pain feels in both side of our knee iner and outer part of knees because I have pain in both side
Well, you don't know much about auto mechanics, but you are totally correct about doctors never treating root cause.
I rejected surgery! I'm doing Nordic Pole Trekking and it has pretty much eliminated the pain. I also swing my legs with six pounds weights and it helps too. Keep moving!
torn meniscus, ACL _ basically walking and pool work no surgery 5 yrs later not bad occasional twinge were soft brace but my right knee patella tendonopothy, bone on bone arthritis 😢 impossible!!to ride a bike jog!! been there done everything 15 yrs no amount of physiotherapy, mindset etc is going to fix this baby❤ age 62 active person 15 KMs walk a day and swim 1 hr.

Hi my name is Nancy I started to watch your videos you are so right can you tell me what can I do to stop the arthritis in my knee I have a little bit and I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hand can you tell me to help me naturally🎉😢
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words. Since we don’t specialize in rheumatoid arthritis, we wouldn’t be able to offer specific guidance for RA in your hand.

I've been struggling with a patello-femoral issue for decades. I did everything docs and PT's said to do, exercise, injections, drugs. I think I knew none of it would help. I know my issue is mechanical, but I dont think theres anyone to help me figure that out. So frustrating.
I walk around with my walker. help is there any help for my right knee , or am I going to have to use my walker from now on. What can I do ?
How do you fix the muscle imbalance?
Steroids
My right knee hurts here and there... Lonzo Ball has some type of meniscus transplant or something and he's doing excellent.
My sciatica’s both hurt. I had surgery on both about 15 years ago but it has come back. Is there anything you recommend besides surgery. Please help🙋♀️❤️
Hi Judy,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We’re so sorry to hear you’re dealing with that sciatica pain again-it’s tough to go through surgery only for the discomfort to return years later. We hope you can feel some relief soon. 🙏
For now, we’d recommend focusing on strengthening your glutes. Building glute strength can help stabilize your pelvis and ease some of the pressure on the sciatic nerve, which can make a big difference in your comfort. We have a sciatica help playlist you might find helpful. You can access it here:
"Sciatica Pain Exercises & Stretches"

Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.
You might also consider trying an inversion table to gently stretch your back and relieve some of that nerve pressure. Just a quick note-if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or certain other health conditions, it may not be the best option for you, so please check with your doctor first to see if it’s right for you. We have a video for them that you might find helpful. You can access it here:

What is treatment for bone spurs. I take phos food liq from Standard Process daily from chiropractor for the past 9 months. Do I keep walking outside despite the pain?
Colegen works for me ❤
I ve osteoarthritis both knees, the left knee is swollen the cartilage is all gone ,stage 3 ,iam scheduled for steriod injection was told that knee replacement will be a better solution . Advise me Dr.
Useful video ! Newly subscribed to your channel.
Can you please make a video on what to do for Patellofemoral arthritis ? Thank you !
My horrible knee pain has so far been eliminated after the replacement of my hip.
Plantar fasciitis Dr wanted me in expensive shoe inserts and cortisone shots. I healed it with increasing mineral intake, with an emphasis on magnesium.
Orthopedic wanted me on pain meds, braces and surgery for knee and ankle issues after an injury. Fixed it by ingesting diatomaceous earth and strengthening the muscles
I just watched your video on your toe knuckles how do you strengthen your feet and toes??
I have been fighting pain 4yrs after total knee replacement... it's so painful...I can't stand for very long before it starts and goes all the way up the back of my leg into my bottom.... do I need scar tissue removal surgery? And will it just come back?
Brillant. I too came to muscle imbalance as the issue to address. Yup did HA shots etc. I am noncompliant with the Tylenol script and the diagnosis of eventual knee replacement.
Bunnies, use their knees more than me and I’ve never seen one with an artificial knee.
CQ
I have chondromalacia patella grade 4 and patella alta with mild lateral maltracking. Small joint effusion n subchondral edema too. I tried doing glute strengthening exercises but they made my tailbone pain worse pls advise Dr David, will be very greatful🙏🏻 thanks
Orthopods have had their way with my right knee and both shoulders a total of five times. My current doc wants to do the exact same surgery on my right shoulder as another doc did 20 years ago. He wants to fix a bicep tendon that has come out of the bicippital groove, fix a rotator cuff tear, and grind down a bone spur. He is already eyeballing my left knee... "total knee replacement" noises coming outta him, while the slobber dribbles down like shoestrings between his 2" lower canines.
Dang! I'm hoping I can fix them with autophagy, monoclonal antibodies, and stem cell therapy?
By the way, my lower glutes flap around behind me, making a slapping noise when they alternate hitting the back of my thighs.
I gotta hope your glutes exercises will do a lot more than fixing my knees.
Maybe I'll quit having to worry about getting arrested whenever I wear a swimsuit. 🙄
If I have oa in my knee and very knock kneed from birth which of your programs should I do 😢please help
