Knee arthritis (osteoarthritis) is one of the worst things a doctor can diagnose you with. It’s devastating to leave the doctor’s office with pictures in your mind of your knee x-rays and the stiffness and discomfort you’ve been living with in your knee joint.
It feels hopeless at times because most people in the medical field don’t give much hope for knee arthritis.
They tell patients things like:
“It’s only going to get worse as you get older,” or
“You’re going to have to give up being active like you have been,” or
“It’s age-related and runs in your family, so there’s not much you can do,”
…and the worst to hear is:
“It’s just a matter of time before you need a knee replacement.”

We hope you can feel some relief soon! Please take care.🙌
Very Helpfull !!!. I was able to lay on my table today, facing down, and almost reaching my head with my feet from behind! My husband warned me to not get crazy. The glute muscles are indeed working,!!! But yes I did over do it! a great feeling! Thank you, thank you!!Dr! I wish you were a traveling doctor...lol
Your videos have been so helpful. This is my second flare up with stiff knee, constant pain and a muscle that prevents me from weight bearing in the mornings. I usually use a walking stick plus hold onto the walls or anything else for support. My husband helps me on occasions. With your exercises I am now in the down turn with the pain. Because I am going camping with my Rolling Solo ladies group I have been so worried that I could not go due to loss of mobility. I still have 5 weeks before my long trip and can now look forward to being able to drive. Thank you so much. I had even booked in for an injection to be able to travel. I won’t need that now. I also have the documents to visit a specialist for a knee replacement which I am sure I won’t need in the next 6 months
Thank you so much for the practical positive encouragement- love this!
Thanks a lot Doctor,as a Physiotherapist we always focus on strengthening the Quards,your valuable information will be very useful to me
Thanks for your advice
Thank You so much Dr David I am from Malaysia and suffering from knee arthiritis for almost 10 years especially the right knee...years back a Specialist Orthopaedic advised no surgery due to eroding bones now another one literally scolded me to do surgery otherwise will end up in a wheelchair my mom had oesoporosis and was in a wheelchair in her mid sixties I am in my late fifties...am managing and ardently following your programmes as I understand better the stiffness,swelling and friction in my joints now and am managing with a walking stick for household chores and take the cereblex 200mg for temporary relief if there"s a function outside.
God Bless you doc for your dedication in helping oesoartthiritis patients like us🙏🙏
Thank you so much
Hi Dr. David, do you still do Live videos from time to time, for short Q & As? I feel incredibly blessed that I found your channel. I’m looking into your knee program as well.

You are very welcome Joanne! We are so glad we were able to help you in your time of need! If you ever have any comments or questions feel free to comment on the videos again!
Any location in the houston area??@epmanualphysicaltherapy
I want to let you know how much I appreciate your videos. I never miss a chance to check out and follow your advice. The advice you offer has helped me tremendously. I have bone in one knee and very little cartilage in the other. I ride 5 miles a day on my bike, most always 35 miles a week. Thanks to you I changed the way I ride to use my glutes in place of the quad muscles making me so much stronger than I was. I've been able to avoid a much dreaded knee replacement and rarely have to take an Advil. This is only one example of the tips I've picked up from your videos. Thank you so much!
Hey Jennifer, we are so glad we were able to help you avoid a knee replacement! You are so welcome and we appreciate the support!
I always wondered what I was allowed to do regarding exercise. Thankyou Doc ❤
Thanks for sharing
Very helpful advice,
I think all your videos are very helpful. Very thankful you have put your knowledge out here for us. Thankyou! :)))
Thanks I wish there were trainers that were trained in this info.
I've been doing the foot inverted exercises, scraping the foot on carpet and elastic posterior tib ex...it's helped my patients so much! Thank you!
Hey there, we are so glad these exercises have been working for your patients! You are very welcome and thank you for checking in and letting us know that these are working.
Excellent explanation, I been wondering about this all year, thanks.

I found your channel about 2 months ago and I was very skeptical about your attention to emphasizing glutes. I was wrong! You’ve helped me so much that I don’t have to wear knee sleeves all day anymore. I’ve lost weight also! Thank you so much 🤗🤗
Hey Steve, you are so welcome! We are so glad that we were able to help you get back to normal without having to wear knee sleeves!
Which glute exercises I’m 36 and have OA. Not overweight
@@lloomis2625 this channel has plenty of glute exercises He’s the glute guy!
hi david i have a question for you? when i wake in the morning i sometimes wake with my knee hurts cause it is bent.
i tried stretching before getting going in the morning.
thank you david i appreciate all that you do on this channel
This has been so well timed for me! I’m now 6 week post TKR on the left knee and doing well however I tried a new exercise with my physio a couple of days ago (half squat) and I now have a very painful sharp pain in the inner aspect of my right knee which had a lesser degree of OA and had been fairly comfortable for a few weeks, till now, it now feels worse than my left knee! 😢 I was in a bit of a panic till I saw your video as I’m keen to avoid a replacement on that side too! 😳I’ll rest with analgesia as much as I can but still have to exercise my new TKR. Hope this settles! Thank you for your expertise, appreciated. 🥰🏴🇬🇧
Hey Diana! Sorry to hear that your right knee has started hurting now too :-( Sounds like something besides knee arthritis. It is possible you have something called a tibial shift. We have a great video that describes this and how to treat it in case you would like to try it. Here is a link:
“How To Fix Inner Knee Pain In 2 Minutes”
ua-cam.com/video/kFLmU4ZHYV4/v-deo.html
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy many thanks for your reply much appreciated, will look again at the information on tibial shift too, you are an amazing team thank you for all your suggestions and expertise, hoping this settles again things were going well!
Thank you Dr David, my knee jerks forward and sometimes backwards which makes me fall on my back or on my knee for the past six weeks. What do you advise.
From Ghana
Thank you very much god bless you and you love one dear ❤
You are so welcome! 😊
Is there any reliefor bone on bone
How to tackle knees in rheumatoid arthritis
Hi Dr David, question, why RA has a different approach? You mentioned this video only applies to ostheo arthritis, I'm very now in this RA world and would love some advice. Thank you. Alejandra
I have severe osteoarthritis and reumatoid arthritis affe ting my left knee,can ypu advise
I got recently diagnosed . The pain stopped me sleeping . I started taking glucosamine sulfate with chondroitin and stopped cycling . Pain is gone glutes feel activated . You mileage may vary .
Dr. I have a question. I have painless knee crepitus on the lateral side of my left knee. My knee only hurts if I do a deep squat, otherwise there is never any pain or stiffness. And sometimes if I sit cross legged for a long time it feels as if there is slow seepage of some liquid inside my knee. What could be the possible differential diagnosis? What should I do?
Should we apply this to rheumatoid? I have been in a flare for 5 months...both knees, shoulder, hands. I feel like my medications no longer work and my RA doc isn't listening.
How to download the exercises I am 86 and have bone on bone arthritis Colleen Griffiths
I am having a lot of pain in my knee today. I don't have swelling. I think I'm getting this due to the issues with the left knee. I've been getting prp in my left knee due to meniscus tear and acl sprain. Now this other knee acting up. Xray shows arthritis. Can't take ibuprofen or Tylenol. Any suggestions? I'm suffering.
i just been diagnosed with knee arthritis and don’t have much of a tear drop, is it ok to build this up? i no i need to stay away from the majority of my quads but can i isolate this to build it up ? what would you recommend??
Hi from New Zealand, I have arthritis in both my knees and would love to do your program - do you offer a payment plan? thanks :)
Hey there, thank you for letting us know that you are interested! Unfortunately, we do not offer a payment plan for these at this time.
I have to beg for medication.. need it to strengthen and function
Apparently someone benefits from my walikg around in agony. Being in extreme pain is a horror
It affects everything adversely.
I am 71 and my arthritis has been around since my late 40s. Right now both knees can barely bend to a 45 degree angle. Stairs are one by one going down and going up is almost as bad. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Can you do a video on Articular cartilage? what is the recovery time after getting arthroscopic surgery for it? what are some side effect after the surgery. I got it 3 months ago and I still having pain on the left side of my left knee.
Hi! Me too I had a surgery like yours and still hurting

I do public address for my local high school and have to go up 30 large steps, meaning about a 14 inch gap between each one, to the press box. Once to twice a week. My arthritis really flares up later that day or evening after going up and coming down those steps. I do use your advice going up and down by turning my leg/foot out to the side, but it still makes it flare up for 24 hours afterwards. Any advice for that? I’ve tried taking Tylenol an hour before hoping that will help, it does some, but the flare up after still happens.
Hey Doug, great question! The reason we turn our feet out while going up the steps is to make it easier for the glutes to do the work. However, it is still very important to concentrate on the glutes during each step. Just because they are in a good position does not mean they will activate subconsciously. Hope this helps!
I miss walking on the treadmill and I have gain so much weight. When and how I should walk on treadmill again?
Hi Dr. David, when you say never needing a knee replacement, do you mean never in a lifetime? If all the advice is implemented, I am hoping this could be the case.
Hey Cheri! It is absolutely possible to avoid having knee replacement simply by fixing the things that are causing the damage. In most cases, using the muscles the wrong way is the biggest contributor toward development and progression of knee arthritis.
I had an arthroscopic knee partial meniscus surgery for 3 months now and my knee is still hurting.

Ouch
Hey Gordon! We are saddened to hear that you're dealing with a flared-up arthritic knee at the moment. We would suggest that you do your best to take the pressure off the knee joint by resting as much as possible so that the swelling and inflammation can go down.

Why does my knee feel fine during the day when I wake up early morning I can’t move my leg, extreme pain until I move around slowing then it seems fine.
Thank you David a injection of cortisone will help?

Why cant Drs. Diagnose the root causes of the knee pain.. as well as other pain???
Or is it that they dont want to.
I also have some sort of muscle injury in the quad on my right leg.
Is it real or referred. Doing exercises tells me that the injury is local. I still have concerns. 😢
I can bend the knee. But it hurts like HELL. And there is a n injury to my quad thats holding me back.
Strengthing other muscles is not complicated to ME...i get it. Imperative t o do.
Consious about and continiously focusing on relaxing the overpowering muscle, front thigh, which is suspected being too strong in exercise, that seems to be working, I find.
By the way, this is why I do not really "exercise". Instead I TRAIN!
Hey there, thank you for letting us know! Keep up the good work! We would love to hear an update in the future.
