Good morning Dr.David I turn down the doctor to take medicine for the rest of my life, Iam so bless to see you your video by chance.I wish one day I can visit your clinic .REGARDS from Madel Crawley from Hongkong.
Hey Madel! We hope you can get your knees healthy and get back to normal again! You’re welcome to visit us in El Paso, Texas USA. Dr. David has visited Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Hi Dr. David how are I really feel good now like 85 percent. Before I was like no patient but its true it's a long process you know I always watch your advice to strengthen your glute muscles and its work. Thank you very much and God bless you.
My knee history: Jan, 2013 Left knee hurts after a 50 min walk in the snow in the park. Temp was just about freezing. (Was told it was due to osteoarthritis). Apr 2016 x-ray of both knees show mild deterioration of the cartilage.pain is due to the bone rubbing on bone. . .. (it has not been too severe) Weight exercises to strengthen the muscles in/around the knee Can jog as long as I can bear the pain as it also helps to build muscle around knee. I used to run 5km in about 30 minutes which I stopped in 2012 but kept cycling during the summer and treadmill during winter. This spring/summer/fall I cycled over 3000 km minimum of 30km in about 100 minutes. While walking on the treadmill now (Dec 2021), I sometimes jog up to two minutes at 5km per hour, to get my heart rate up (in an effort to not go back on high blood pressure meds! 60 days meds free, BP under 140/90 for a 69 yr male) Over the years, I was prescribed pain meds for the knee but after a while, I realized being active was much better medicine. Yes, I thought of re-doing the x-ray to compare to year 2016 .. . .maybe in 2022. Regards, Maisha from Whitby, Ontario, Canada
Knowing that there is not much research makes me feel better! 10 to 12 months is nothing compared to being told NEVER. I will keep hope that my body will heal as evolution and biology intended. Even if it takes 5 years until healing is something to push through the pain of OA.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Totally agree. I had weak abductors which I fixed. I feel way less pain and hope I am on the way to recovery. I can tell the cartilage is damaged, but believe that now there is space in the joint, healing can begin. Your video gives me hope!
Awesome video on healing the meniscus and exercise demonstration, can you make one for the patella tendon Another video elaborating on the food side of things that you started to talk about at end of video would be awesome too Keep up the great work 🙌🏼
Mine kinda healed by going to the gym. There's a machine where u sit and put the feet on a platform and push the weight up. I do just minimal weight and I hold both my kneecaps while I push. I also eat chicken feet, I boil them out. You're supposed to give them raw to dogs , it s very good for them. So, I make soup out of that cartilage. I'm not healed, however it's a lot better than years ago.
Hi Dr David, thank you for your educational videos. My PCP said, according to my knee X-rays, I have osteoarthritis in both knees. Fortunately, I have no chronic pain. I’ve been doing exercises you recommend including ‘tailgate swing’ (with 5lb ankle weights). In this video you mentioned too much activity can negatively effect the benefits of the exercises and therefore the healing process. Would you please specify which activities, or types of activities, I shouldn’t do (I.e. yard work, leg extensions, leg curls, etc.). Thanks again for your wonderful videos.
There is another proceedure called PROLOTHERAPY, where saline solution or an irritant is injected into the joint, this causes irritation, and is suppose to cause the body to then send healing material, blood ? to the site.
I have a rocker/recliner…because of hospital lockdown my knee surgery was cancelled. I changed from reclining to rocking the last year. My knee pain has improved. Can do more things for longer before have to get off my knees & rest. A big positive.
It's been a year since my injury and about 9 months since I've been doing your 28 day knee program almost every day. It has helped so much. I still get a little knee pain if I walk too far without an unloader knee brace. Do you think I will need the brace forever? Or should a few more months of exercise and tailgates be enough?
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! This is fantastic to hear Aloha Dogs!!!! Thank you for updating us on your success!!!! It's hard to tell how long you'll need the brace...but if your knee keeps getting slightly better month after month, then go as long as your knee needs it. You'll need to keep getting stronger as well. There's no deadline if you're improving. For some, it takes months, while for others it takes a year or more.
Hi Doc. Would nutritionall supplements help? Bone broth, gelatin powder bloomed overnight and had first thing in the morning before any other foods.I have tried it. Fairly good.
Sir, I personally have seen people getting benefitted from supplements... All of the things you mentioned in the comment have beneficial for the cartilage... Moringa Tree leaves are also said to be helpfully.
Hey Zainab, I am from India, and I am going through the chondromalacia patella issue from last 2 months. Did your issue resolve? Would love to hear what options did u try?

Thank you for this information. I believe I had a recent meniscus tear and don’t want another surgery (needed for the other knee). It’s been about three months and I feel it might be going through the repair process as some days it’s just fine and other days I feel I’ve overdone my activity. Patience:)

I have a grade 4 osteoarthritis on my right knee, been following your video exercises but sadly there is no sign of any improvement. its been over 4 months now. I wonder knee replacement is what I should opt for or shall I persist with your recommended exercises. pls advise as I find your videos very informative and relevant to my knee problem.
Hey M Shafiq! It sounds like you need to visit a manual therapist in your area so you can see if they can help your knee with specific treatment. You might try that to better exhaust your options before going through surgery. You should know if it's going to help you within 3-4 visits. In the US, you can find a manual physical therapist trained similar to Dr. David at this website: aaompt.org/Main/Public_Resources/Find-A-Fellow/Main/Member_Resources/Find-A-Fellow.aspx?hkey=108c9a56-f793-45e4-b3ed-cefe5d871a94 Dr. David is a fellow of the American Academy of Manual Physical Therapists. His specialty is orthopedic manual physical therapy, which is the ideal specialty for helping someone avoid surgery, injections, and medications. Normal physical therapists are best trained to help people right after surgery.
Hey Margaret! Sorry to hear that you have a damaged knee :-( It's hard to say if using your exercise bike will damage your knee. It depends on what muscles you use while there. If you mainly use your quads (front of the thighs) then it will likely damage your knees more. If you can make your glutes (butt muscles) work while on the bike, then it will typically help your knees.
Fell down hard on left leg been seeing dr. Been 2 months now the underside of my knee stiffen up when i am in a resting state but when i am up all day walking it doesn’t bother me too much any thoughts you could throw my way??
Hey Debra, that sounds like a tibial shift. You can learn more about it here: "This Rare Diagnosis Is Easily The Biggest Reason For Inner Knee Pain" ua-cam.com/video/XY0EbjhK8lQ/v-deo.html
One question: I joined your program recently. I stopped walking and doing the exercises but what about swimming ? I couldn't find any reference about that sport from your videos. Thanks in advanced. :-)
Hello Juan! It's great to hear that you're starting our program. Swimming is challenging...if you use your quads while swimming, then it can be harmful for you. If you can make your glutes work while swimming then it can be helpful for a knee problem. It really depends on how you do it. Some people feel better with swimming while others get worse. It comes back to how you use your glutes. The more you can make your glutes work, the better off your knees are 95% of the time.
Could you please advise a solution my problem : my left knee becomes stiff after walking and it takes time 15-20 minutes of rest or 5 minutes of exercise for it to become flexible again though it does not affect my walking . My right will be perfectly alright even after walking. I have been doing all exercises recommended by you for knees
Hi, I wish I had seen this video b4 the lateral meniscus repair surgery of my teenage daughter. She had dicoid meniscus so the surgeon decided to shape her discoid meniscus to a common meniscus shape on the spot. He didn't even discuss this with us. Never cautioned about the care as it should've been done and now it got worst as she lost some of her cartilage during the recovery time. Also, the physiotherapist didn't take care of the exercises that were need and overloaded my daughters knee. I am depressed and anxious about my daughters recovery. Do you think hydrolaunic acid injection as suggested by the surgeon would help? How can we avoid further loss of cartilage and take care so that she doesn't loose more cartilage? Any supplements that could work? Please help us, we are in desperate need of the right guidance to restore her healthy knee so that she can avoid any further surgery and knee damage. Please Help God bless you

By grace of god my lord Sri tirumala Venkateswara swamy 🙏 now I can run also up to some extent with 103 kgs body weight I’ll get pain sometimes but I’ll do exercise n take physio sessions like ultrasound n IFT heat n cold pads when it’s pain .. and I totally avoided sitting down n do not use Indian toilet n don’t give much pressure on knees like kneel down or related exercise .. i can sit down upto 30 mins max .. May be it’s because of more weight I’ll get numb n pain because of this chondromalacia.. so I decided from 2024 I’ll reduce weight n do more practice to become completely normal.. thanks to my physiotherapist Dr Vamshidar reddy (Gaama physyotheraphy clinic in Hyderabad) and his team had helped me a lot to become better situation from grade -II

Hi I'm from Sri Lanka. I have knee artharitis & have a piecing pain at the back of my knee towards the inside. I'm 63 & doctors say at my age it's impossible to heal.
Is it better to walk all day long back and forth in my house instead of sitting around, just to keep that blood flow going into the joint more?
Hey Artful Dodger, yes it would be better to do some walking at home rather than sitting around. Our bodies were built for moving! That's why we have joints and muscles!
My knee medial meniscus tear is now getting painful nearly 100% of the day! I have been resting it and doing glut exercises

, but can get this in Mexico !
Avocado, tumeric, green tea, berries, walnuts, seeds etc. are good against infammation. For the pain sometimes homeopathic tiny arnica pills are good.
Thanks for mentioning this. These can also help.
