The roller has become my friend w PF! Helps so much… found cross training so helpful overall w barre, kick boxing & yoga 8mths post injury. As well as leg exercises like you suggest. Back to soccer next season 🤜
Also, once front knee was better, would get this really irritating back of the knee tightness a lot during / after exercise . Prob fluid? Since cross training that’s much better too now. And roller helped that too!
Cross training is also something I recommend to so many patients. Most of the issues I see in the clinic are related simply to doing too much of one thing. If we can alter the stress we put on our system throughout the week, we are much less likely to experiences injuries.
Thanks very much. Ive found foam rolling to be very helpful with my knee pain. Are there any tips you would give for getting back in tge gym again with squats with patellafemoral joint pain ?
Foam rolling can be quite helpful with this issue. In terms of getting back to squatting, I would start by performing squats that are more hip dominant, which will take stress off of the quads and the patellofemoral joint. This is usually best accomplished by sticking with back squats where the trunk tips forward slightly as compared to front squats. I would also use single leg variations, such as Bulgarian split squats, walking lunges, and single leg squats, as these require less load, which means they are typically less likely to irritate the patellofemoral joint.
I had a right knee replacement 6.5 years ago and a revision almost 4 years ago. The patellar component was loose, and it caused the pain that you spoke of. The component was replaced, and some spacers were also added. I continue to have the pain, though it has decreased as I try to implement the PT that I learned post-op. I just don't understand why. I'm tired of being limited in my physical activities. I know I'll likely not run again, but it would be nice to be able to at least ride a bike!! Please advise!
Sorry to hear about this. It’s really difficult for me to give accurate suggestions without knowing more details and testing you myself. Have you tried exercises like are shown in this video?
I had a lateral partial knee in 10/23, and I am having the most difficult time with stairs, in particular down, extending my leg, it hurts on the top right portion of my knee cap, and I also have medial pain, it’s a very sharp pain, and when I ice too long it feels like im stabbing my knee with a blade. I am having an extremely difficult time developing my quad because of this!!! What can I do
I couldn’t agree more. Patellofemoral pain syndrome will usually get worse with his programming. He isn’t a physical therapist and doesn’t understand that different conditions require different approaches.
Soft tissue mobilization is a form of manual therapy, which has plenty of research support. Applying novel stimulus to the skin and other soft tissue structures has been shown to alter the pain experience. Using a foam roller or other tool is not an outdated strategy unless you think it is actually changing mechanical tissue properties. I taught pain science for eight years at the university level, so I have a decent grasp on the current research.
@@RehabScience I agree with the first part, but the studies seem to show that such techniques only have a positive impact while you are doing them, it’s only short term and in my situation (pain consultant for automobile sport) where time counts, the time you spend foam rolling with no long term effect, is time that you don’t spend doing something more useful with a long term impact, treating the actual cause of pain. I would have done a video called « small tips to live with patellofemoral pain » where i would have included foam rolling. Sorry for the intonation, there is no agressivity in my words, english is not my first language!
@@Theabtheabtheab I agree that the research has shown that manual therapy techniques have a short-term effect. But, as a clinician who has been treating individuals in pain for 16 years now, I very much find that offering strategies that help reduce pain, even if they are short-lived, are appreciated by patients and often help them move forward faster in the recovery process so that active mobility and resistance training/loading exercises can be implemented. By no means does someone have to complete these techniques, but I find that the majority of people benefit from them and appreciate learning about them.
Diz kapağı kayması var dizim tam olarak fleksiyona girmiyor. Sürekli kütlüyor kıtlıyor tıklıyor. Tam çömelmeme izin vermiyor. Bu egzersizler bana uygun mudur . Daha önce lateral gevşetme ameliyatı oldum ama faydası olmadı @RehabScience
I have patellofemoral arthritis in my right knee only right after my accident last year thank you so much ❤
How are you doing now after doing this exercises?
Yeah how you doing?
Great video man thank you!

The foam roller is such a simple and awesome tool.

4:21 Those stretches at the knee? I was told by my ortho to not do them in my case of PFA (patelofemoral)...so I am always confused...
Yeah, I also don't understand this. The doctors suggest to not bend the knee, and these PT suggests otherwise.
How many reps (or time) and sets would be ideal?
Also, how long would we need to go back and do normal training?
Thank you!!
i have this on boths my knees.
And on my left knee i also have meniscus tear ..i would try this but with me having meniscus tear it would hurt.

@@RehabScience thank you so much !! I really appreciate you replying and for your channel 🙏🙏🙏
What if I can't bend my knee far
Thank you for this good video 💛

Agree with the riding a bike again

My mild chondromalacia went away in a week by doing straight forward leg raises with a few pounds on my foot
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
Exercises start at 2:29.
I find that when I do the one legged squat my supported leg wants to curve inward?? Could you help
The exercises in my video below typically help with this issue.

Pain only when I do squat up
These are great. Do not do Ben Patrick's ATG program for this condition. IT It is not a cure-all and will greatly agitate PGPS..

❤😊
OW my knees!!!
Why such exercises when you cannot even bend below 90 degrees???
How can you have « science » in your name and still put the foam roller in a video in 2023? Time to update 😢

I definitely found it to be helpful. Thanks!
If quad weakness is one of the major issues, why do cyclists (like me) get this so much? (I'm 40% quad by weight)
