Excellent explanation. Thank you. Originally the VA had me doing quad exercises for weak legs. That is when the knee pain started. Eventually I moved to a civilian clinic and was diagnosed with stage 4 arthritis. You have helped me immensely. The foot exercise is something that I have been doing, not for arthritis, but for neuropathy. Amazing results. Legs do not feel weak anymore. I can walk 2 miles a day with no pain in my knee (Except for frostbite) andI no longer walk as if I am drunk.
Thank you for the great content. There is a diagnosis of stage 2 to 3 chondromalacia on both knees. The kneeling even on the bed hurts for a few days afterwards. If the program has many exercises on kneeling poistions, it is necessary to get variations of those.
Hi Doc. You are so good! I just love and respect you. I had back fusion on L 4 L5 2 years ago. I was supposed to have a R hip replacement after that and decided not to due to complications with my back surgery. Well, now my L knee and L hip hurts worse than the R hip ever did. I am at a loss. Can you lead me in the right direction please. Thank you. Joanne
I recently found you and took an immediate interest because of my "severe knee arthritis". After watching a bunch of your videos I'm wondering about your comments on the quad muscles. Would it be at all helpful, on top the glut, lower abs, and toe flex muscles, to use a massage gun on the quads to maybe "loosening them up"? Thanks for all your great content. Just started the exercises so we'll see what happens.
Bro just ask chatGPT, it’s smarter than most doctors. It’s compiling everything online (which where doctors get all their information from) and handing it to you on a silver plate. It has more up to date info then what most doctors, especially old ones, have been taught decades ago.
I had pain in my knees since I was 10 years old. Was paralyzed in my left side when I was 9 years old, my left leg stopped growing when j was paralyzed and are 3 cm shorter and are weaker in my left leg too do to nerve damage and paralysis in my foot. I have a lot of problems in my right side if the body, my knee, my hip shoulder and neck. I injured my meniscus in my right knee a few years ago and have light arthritis now. I already work out the best I can and hope I don’t need surgery in the future. But my neurologist and my other doctors said when I was injured that I would get problems in my body after the injury. My muscle mass is about 20-30 procent weaker and less in my left leg. And can’t move my foot.

Hi Doc. Ty so much for all the info, I have a question, how do I pick the right program for , I'm very interested, I need help, do give consultation ? Please help.
Hi doc I have had 2 Knee operation s due to oestoathorites after 3yrs I'm still walking with a crutch as I can't control my balance what do you recommend. Thank you.
Why does in my 60's years of age knee pops but no pain. I'm a truck 🚚 driver active, left leg pushing clutch in alot. What can I do to prevent future problems???😮
I've been working to strengthen glutes. What I think is I am not standing straight and not lifting each foot. I do a short walk outside and then attempt inside walking and exercises but trying to stand straight and not shuffle. I wonder - would failure to do these and then changing to pick these up be the reason I'm sore? Anyway, I keep watching your videos and trying to apply what you explain. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
I was going to physical theapy and doing exercises 7 days a week like she told me. She would give me different exercise to help me get stronger to help me with the knees. She gave me to much to fast now i cant even step up stairs leading with the left foot. I am so disappointed. She told me she thought my piriformis was inflamed that was in oct and i still am having trouble. Dont know what to do or how much i should do.
Hi, i had tibial plateau fracture, went to pt for 30 sessions then only worked on glute muscles for 6 months while not using quads and it didn't do anything for me. Are you sure glute muscles can fix everything?
I also had a tibial plateau fracture. I was getting out of my truck and it was icy. My leg slipped and went side ways. The left leg bent outward at the knee. I had to wear a brace on whole leg up to the hip. Very painful for me. Now I have nothing but problems with that knee.
@@la8833 Sorry to hear, last year I had an accident where my bike fell on my knee resulted in a tibial plateau fracture, I had nothing but constant pain for a straight year even after a lot of pt sessions. Then I found this guy his channel, got some hope and started working on my glutes like crazy, unfortunatly it didn't do much for me... I think this channel is mostly meant for those who have knee pain naturally due to age or overuse and it's not really meant for those with an injury. However I recently started focussing more vmo muscles of quadriceps and I'm starting to see some improvements so I guess you shouldn't only focus on glutes but instead on entire leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, calf, glutes, foot etc etc) Either way best of luck and hope your recovery will go better than mine, tibial plateau fracture is quite serious...
I got a EMG done and the test came back negative, so I was told I have nerve pain in the knee from cartridge surgery, they said if you have a negative test most likely in time the nerve pain will go away in time is that true?
Thank you for this. I use proper technique when getting up from sitting using my heels and not allowing my knees to pull in. No pain when walking or standing at all@@marnieecklund3520
I’m considering your program, but I have a question, I need to take down the inflammation and I’ve never had Cortizone shots in my knee before, is that something that you would think would be OK initially?
I'm 18 and i hv upper back pain constantly and knee pain shin splints and even ankle pain after a leg day Or running.... My form and posture is what I really worked on still I have pain again when I do some intense workout be it running or leg day Or playing some sport. Pls help what should I be doing
We’re so sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling with upper back pain, knee pain, shin splints, and ankle pain-that’s a lot to deal with, especially at 18. Many people don’t realize how frustrating and limiting these issues can be unless they’ve been through it themselves. We hope you can find some relief soon! Shin splints and joint pain are common after intense running or leg workouts, even with good form. A key part of prevention and recovery is making sure your muscles are balanced, especially focusing on your glutes, core, feet, and upper back (traps specifically) to help with alignment and posture. Strengthening these areas can reduce strain on your lower body and help prevent recurring pain.

I have NO muscle at all in my quads, calves, arms, glutes etc... even though I do HIIT twice a week. One knee is replaced and I don"t ever want anything else replaced. How can I build muscle?
If you're old eat good protein. In my 60s I got sarcopenia big time even though I was athletic most of my life. I went vegan for 10 years and couldn't get strong. I hired a personal trainer for my75th birthday but it was really going slow. I decided to add meat, egg, dairy and fats to my diet and over the past 6 mos I have leapt far ahead. That's my story. Not every body's. By the way I'm not wealthy, but the personal trainer was the best investment I ever made.
@@catobie1948 I really appreciate your story. I'm 70 and it sounds similar to mine Especially with the sarcopenia. How did you choose the personal traîner? Il not wealthy either, but I know we all pay one way or the other. I soooo want my strength back!!!
@diamonddx95 the big change was when I put meat, eggs, dairy back into my diet. I was lucky in that my sister found the PT. The trainer is a physiotherapist and worked at a large area hospital til she went on her own. I would definitely find out their qualifications. Anyone can become a personal trainer on line so I would ask for credentials beyond personal trainer certification. If you have a doctor ask. You could try the YMCA. Or maybe a Silver Sneakers group. I really don't know. If you have a knee replacement you have to find someone who knows how to work around. I assume you had physical therapy after your knee surgery so maybe they could recommend someone. Look at the videos this man provides. I wish I could help. Good luck.
I tried almost everything but no joy then I saw your video 👌🙏🏻🙏🏻 within the first day I got so much relief. Now almost normal. Just need to loose some weight
I started with the glut muscles calf muscles and the shin. Instantly started feeling better. The pain was gone. Still was very weak . Could not be on my feet for long periods. Gradually started increasing the length of time. Still not 100% but feels good. I’m 73 years old so it’s good enough

I double checked with chat GPT, and it checks out. Arthritis is caused by muscle imbalance, particularly the over activation of quads due to compensating for weaker glutes. You need to train quads just as much as you train glutes, he isn’t telling you to neglect your quads.
That's what I need!! My quads are like leaky balloon, with no more water!! My knees arthritis, osteo. Cant exercise quads due to grinding knees, , , in a corner. Help. My dr want surgery.

Glutes ?
Yes the rust muscle group is the glutes, aka your but muscles. He also talked about the feet and abs.
