I have been searching for this "clicking" knee cause and treatment, you are the only channel i found with such clear and precise explanation! gratitude
Mine knees have clicked while walking upstairs for a while, can't wait to do these exercises. Many thanks.
Hi Faith🌹
How are you doing?
Wishing you all the best!
Thank you Will for this nice video I a lady with tkr done on my right knee also do these three exercises which you have shown Awesome exercises all seniors should do it every day
This video I have waited for a year as I have the right clicking knee, but not painful and I am 62. Thank you so much 🙏
I have congenital patella maltracking. I always thought I was just knocked kneed. I thought knee clicking was just normal for everybody. Then, in my late teens, I started to have terrible knee pain that severely limited my mobility. My orthopaedic consultant showed me that my knees were not knock kneed but my patellas slid diagonally towards the medial aspect. One patella did it by 30 degrees, the other by 25. No amount of physio was going to solve the maltracking and clicking.
I had the worst patella realigned with the patella tendon resited. I wasn't keen to have the 2nd done as it was a painfull operation to recover from. However, as I get older the uncorrected patella is now causing a lot of problems, so I am looking at finally having the second realigned.
Your advice is remarkable God bless you
I've been doing similar exercises for years with hip circle bands, but I've never thought of doing them this way. My knees and ankles are fine on the flat and walking uphill no problems at all. Walking downhill however my outside of my knees hurt and I often sprain my ankle. I know my knees come inward when I walk down hill or down steps. And when I push really hard on my bike my knee sometimes comes in and strikes the cross bar, and ankle the peddle arm. My IT band also starts hurting the outside of my knee. It would be great if you can prepare a video for problems walking downhill or guide me to an existing one. It would be great to leave the walking poles at home and not have to keep taking Ibuprofen on hill walking.
I got left leg shorter and its thigh has less mobility.I did not realize the clicking of the left knee since my 30s was related...Great channel, THANKS
Hi Marie🌹
How are you doing?
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for this video.
Bless you, my right knee clicks so loud I could moonlight as a Halloween skeleton. Can’t wait to do the exercises.
Hi Cathy 🌹
How are you doing?
Wishing you all the best!
This has been a new issues for five weeks yet mostly when going upstairs once agin this is most helpful to relieve my mind it’s bone on bone but something I can correct Thank you so very much
This comment makes no sense. Check your English grammar. Also, no such word as agin.
You're very welcome - wishing you all the best!
English teacher spotted 😊
Very helpful Thank you.
My knee is cracking,,I hope it will help its very nice love it
Happens to me sporadically. I am just glad that it only happens while walking. I cant imagine how I'll end up if I encounter this while running.
How about crunching knees?
My knees usually click loudly after I've been inactive for a while i.e. sitting. When I stand up or lift my foot off the ground, they click but after that, don't click again. Any suggestions. The clicking doesn't hurt, it just makes everyone around me cringe 😀
I know more young people who have clicking knees - do a video for them.
The clue is in the age specialism will is a physio specialising in the over 50’s.
I'm 54. Had a very heavy work for 1 month, after that knee clicks started. Woman. If u are feeling fine, jump to the video that will apply to you.
@@yall2743 Is that supposed to be funny?
@@bichu232 ofcourse, your knees are fine so you can jump without clicking.
@@yall2743 Don't presume you know people - click off.
Love your video! The challenging without complicated moves that are hard to follow or too fast.
So pleased you found my suggestions practical!
My knee clicked the like button on this video..
great video thanks. I've subscribed recently and now youtube is suggesting your content. cheers from Australia
Thank you for your support!
Simple, quick excercises for knee, hip improvement, also have ankle pain and thinking that maybe because of knee arthritis affecting the hip and the whole leg function. Do you have any excercises involving foot, ankle pain, please.
By the way, great content and have subscribed. Thank you.
Plz guide with some exercises relayed to radiculpathy

Use a capital I when talking about yourself!
your life must really be sad @@suzanneemerson2625
Thanks
I have klickly knee because of tkr. The surgeon said there is nothing he can do. It doesn’t hurt.
Love this. Thanks for sharing.
(I do, however, have an overwhelming urge to fix the cable management in the background 😂 just me?)
You're welcome - and sorry about that! I hadn't picked up on that!
Great video, I'm going to try and apply these tips to my stretching routine. Question: If I want to go to a doc and get things checked out, what kind of a doc should I be looking up" I want knee pain to go away and not be completely fatigued and drained when I do my run, or climb stairs.
Ugh, I hate the clam. We used to do it in aerobics class back in the 80s. All that lactic acid builds up and it burns. The clicking in my knees depends on what I eat, so it must be inflammation. Some days I don't have hardly any. Other days, it is up all 3 flights of stairs on both legse (when it's food inflammation). After the 2nd dose of Moderna I couldn't even do 1 flight of stairs when the week before I had been 3 flights of stairs twice daily for 7 years. The pain was unbearable. Couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders, either. Chest pain. Bizarre and frightening at times. No pain now, thank goodness.
It is interesting all the things that can cause this. I definitely need to strengthen my gluteal muscles, though. I can't deny that.
Great video. So just out of curiousity if you experience knee clicking during certain exercises like squats, and there is no associated pain or discomfort before, during, or after the exercise, should one stiill consider doing such exercises to address the knee clicking. In other words is there any long term benefits(i.e., prevention of long term knee issues), or just addressing an annoying sound?

Hi Emily 🌹
How are you doing?
@@georgemoore6662 I am fine thank you,how about you?
Wishing you all the best!
@@HT-Physio you are not saying anything about my clicking arm
Great vid.
Thank you!
My patellas are very tight, I believe my quads won’t allow them to move, I can barely move them with my hands. Are there exercises for this
Very good
Thank you!
What I feel is more a scrunching sound in my knees which is pretty alarming. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.
What about click in hip when walking
At age71, my knees click but there is no pain anywhere. It's just a noise.
😂 a little spritz WD-40
I have this in my right knee, but it happens when the knee is bent and I am putting weight on it, like bending over to pick something up or to do something with objects that are on the floor. With each click, my knee collapses what I will call one step. Then it clicks again and collapses a little further. This may go on for 5 or 6 repetitions, each time my knee collapses a bit more and goes down, down, down like a wind-up toy winding down. The only way to get out of it is to support my weight completely on the other leg and straighten my right leg back up completely. The only way to prevent it happening is to keep my leg straight, sort of locked into that position. If I don't, and this happens while I am walking, the sudden click/collapse can make my knee buckle and give way completely. If there is nothing stable available to reach out and grab, I could go down (and have done so). To keep it from happening requires keeping the leg stiff/straight while walking, which is not a natural gait.
You need hands on assessment to rule out a meniscus injury which is totally different
I have an experience similar to this, too. I have quite bad arthritis in my knees, and worse in my hips (which is the limiting factor for my mobility). I've had that give-way-while-walking thing occasionally - thought it was more my leg muscles giving way, which was quite alarming. And then quite bad clicking like yours when I am shaving my legs (in the shower), and I am holding the position for a few minutes. (This doesn't alarm me quite as much, since I have enough available support not to worry about falling over - but the clicking itself is quite bad.)
Great video as always - Will I have a quick question if you don't mind sharing your thoughts, thanks. A football striker's shot (to score) which muscle strength palys the important role or has to be the stronger?
My 9 year old has really bad clicking knees. He's very active and very slim. I'm wondering if these workouts might help to eliminate the clicking.
Is re-starting cycling after many years a bad idea for someone with clicking knees or degenerative meniscus damage?
is there any specific exercise that helps with crunch in knee walking downstairs? I get it just in the left knee
Hi
I just watched video and am going to try these exercises, one question before starting, i recently heard clicking sound from my knee, and my knee is hurting too. Would you recommend to me the same exercises or some different ones
Thanks
I'm 39 and they sound TERRIBLE going up stairs 🤮🤮
Does this work for under 30s too?
My knees have been clicking off and on. I had both knees replaced in 2017 but supposedly they used my original knee caps. Is there something I should be doing differently?
Hi Anna🌹🌹
How are you doing?
Thanks for the fantastic content Will. Is it also the patella not tracking properly if your knees crackle rather than click, like when you pour milk on rice crispies?! Thanks
That's crepitus and isn't the same thing. You might benefit from a hands-on assessment
@@cassieoz1702Hi 😊
How are you doing?
My right knee pain is behind the knee on the right side. My knee clicks loudly!
My age is 34 yr I have knee pain😢
למה למה אין תרגום לעברית
can you make one for under 50 like 20s 😅
❤️💖🙏💖❤️
I want to know how to stop my jaw clicking.
Contact your dentist, as it may well be a problem with your TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint). You may just need some self-care exercises. 😊

Thank you!
My own Will is the arm,is embarrassing
great video ,do you know if using the kinesiology tape would actually help during the day walking around when you cant do the actual leg workout? perhaps just a little pull inside
Always good. Thanks.
Thank you!
@1.44, it's super satisfying to hear 'Bones Not rubbing'.
Iam 20.yesterday during playing cricket I hit a backfoot shot putting whole weight on right leg. My knee cap get clicked inside to the knee. I got internal pain and got inflammation
Dear Will, you are the best!! The exercises on this video as well as in all your other videos are beautifully presented and explained, they helped me a lot with my knee. I am very grateful to have found your channel. Keep up the wonderful work and thanks again.
I'm so pleased my videos have been helpful for you, that's great to hear! Have a great weekend :)
