I had a total knee replacement around 21 months ago, I’m not going for the other knee. I’ve been doing these exercises for just over a week now combining with walking and I’m amazed at the range of mobility in both knees. I’m definitely going to keep this up. Thanks so much you guys.
Thank you so much for these very informative videos. I am a member of BeMobile and am coming to realise that when I least want to do exercise is when I need it most. Building strength and feeling the benefits day by day. Thank you.
Hi, My name is Kathryn and I am from the UK. I have a sports physio I see when my Knee or back flares up but I have to say your Video clips are so professional and precicse in explaining in great detail the exercises that need to be worked on, I would say you are the best physio team I have watched! Keep up the great work your doing ....
Tnankyou for this tutorial on osteoarthritis in the knee. I have this and was told after having an xray. My pain was excrutiating especially when walking on a deline and going up an incline..I have been shown a couple of these exercises but will incude the others. Appreciation.😊
Thank you so much guys! My lunge capacity is very weak. I have osteoarthritis in both knees. At the moment I'm walking for exercise. It's heartening to know progression is possible. I can't wait to get my knee at that 90deg angle and my rear knee to touch the floor! 🤞🙏
Thank you guys for these exercises. I have severe Osteoarthritis of both my knees being bone and bone. I am already doing all these exercises. Squatting does hurt my knees but I persevere. Most difficult, or rather most painful is the lunge. But despite the pain I do carry on with all the exercises and find them beneficial. So thank you guys.
Thank you for the suggestion! We recommend that you start your exercise routine at a low level you can tolerate, and use your symptoms as a guide to progress. Tolerable and you can persist, but beyond this you can back off, stay consistent and try again.
Hi to the Great Healers!!!! Your awsome thankyou for all these free videos. What is a good exercise to make the tops of my arm firmer. I am 69 and hate my arms. Thank you again Terri
I have had one total knee replacement and am waiting for the second. A nurse at the knee clinic told me to do only shallow squats. I can do medium ones. Am I in danger of doing damage ? 21:55 Oct 14
Research shows that even for those with "severe osteoarthritis with bone on bone," exercise can be performed safely without physical damage. We recommend that you use your symptoms as a guide to perform what is tolerable for you now, and slowly progress over time.
Thank you for the very excellent excises they are much better then having pain killers everyday it also helps with the balance and flexibility.Thank you
Hi Jane, Thank you for your suggestion! We will take it into consideration for our future content. Meanwhile, if you have any specific questions, let us know, we are happy to help!
Brilliant video - thanks so much. Is running OK for arthritic knees? I have grade 3 and 4 and a shredded anterior cruciate ligament. I do strength exercises and cycling, but have recently started doing couch to 5k. I have no intention of ever running more than 5k - if that. It does hurt a bit - not enough to make me stop but enough to make me think I may be doing further damage...
Our pleasure Carolyn, just because you have been diagnosed with arthritis or a meniscal tear does not mean you cannot improve your knee function - though you may need to start gently with the exercise and gradually progress as you're able. Ollie
Hi Angela, have you watched our floor mobility video? It might give you some ideas for working on getting down on the floor. ua-cam.com/video/gUIjJRlgs8Q/v-deo.html Ollie
Thankyou for the Videos I am doing it for a while now. I wonder if you can help me with a few exercises I had a fall on my knee and have a lot of pain. My knee feels stiff and pain when I stand on my knee or bend it. I do Pilates to but some of the stand like on my knee I can’t do anymore. Hope you can help me. Thanks 😊
We recommend compound movements in your exercise routine involving multiple lower limb joints and muscle groups, such as the squat, deadlift, step-ups, etc. Start your exercise routine at a low level you can tolerate, and see what movements and exercises you can tolerate first, and go from there. This allows your body to be regularly prepared for exercise and specific movements, but also it helps you to focus on starting, staying consistent and gradually progressing with your routine. Use your symptoms as a guide - tolerable symptoms (during and/or after exercise) and you can persist, beyond tolerable and you likely need to back off.
Hi guys, I am from the UK and have had right knee replacement 13 years ago. It has never felt really comfortable, but since Covid-19 struck and the lockdowns I have noticed a deterioration in my knee fitness levels. I am interested to know how far I should be able to bend my right knee, is the 90 degree angle the maximum I should do? I am 81 years of age. Love your sessions. Many thanks M
Hi Margaret, After 13 years, it's probably unlikely that you can improve the range of motion to a significant degree. You may find that the amount of movement you have now is enough for your daily tasks. It certainly would be a good idea to start some resistance training and exercise to improve your fitness. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial thanks. Do you think forward or reverse lunges are better to start with? I find forward lunges considerably more unstable and harder to control.
Hi Lisa thanks for the feedback. I think this depends on personal preference. I personally prefer the forward lunge, but we most often use the split squat as it allows you to get your feet set in the starting position and leave them there which might help with balance. Ollie
I had a knee replacement in '17 that continues to hurt as much as before. I am not able to put any pressure on that right knee at all, can't even tap my patella with a finger without causing terrible pain. I can kneel on my bed, but not for very long; any ideas?
Hi Victoria, it is difficult for us to comment on specific individual circumstances as we can’t be there to assess you in-person. However, pain is a protective mechanism from your nervous system - not always a marker of tissue health, and the best solution is to find a way to manage pain whilst engaging in regular exercise to gradually build up tissue and nervous system tolerance to loading and moving. Please feel free to send us more information to our email at info@bemobilephysio.com.au.
You have no idea how much you all have shown me and explained to me over the past few years - thank you yet again
Thank you for the message Helen, we are glad to be of help!

Absolutely. You are on the right track with your management using your symptoms as a guide, and incorporating both cardio and strength training!
Thanks guys really useful. Should these be done every day.
2-3 times per week as part of a good resistance training program, Yvonne :)
Thanks guys, a few good tips there👍
Our pleasure Helen!
