    I've purchased a number of your books, watched a number of your videos. I always tell my PCP or treating PT that Google nor your videos neither teach me to be a doctor nor a physical therapist (PT) However, they mentor teach me how to ask better questions!
    I am disabled, if I wasn't I'd sure like to take diploma class but I cannot do clinicals. I'm satisfied in continuing to complete master's. I'm in my early 60's. Education is a gift !
    Sir I'm thankful beyond words for your books and videos.
    Not all physicians like an educated question asking patient. Asking, think your a doctor after Google and book research? No sir! I've said.
    Then last comment.
    As an emergency room nurse every pediatric emergency I hear attending say.. wish patient could tell me what hurts. Then when we're adults? No, they want only generalization in PMH or in c/o 's ...
    Thank you again sir for your books and videos! They've given me back a quality of life ! That sir is priceless !

    Wow... that's a serious amount of knowledge, packed into those 10 minutes. Very good, thorough run through. Thank you. Admittedly, I'm trying to self-diagnose because I travel a lot and haven't time to schedule an MRI. Not ideal, I know. I fell directly on both knees by tripping on uneven pavement while jogging. Right knee took it hardest. No twist or pop at the time and I got up and ran another 2.5 miles. But incredible pain that night and for a week after.
    It has since gotten much better, with ice and... after a few weeks... knee exercises (always feels best right after the exercises). However still sig. pain/weakness when going upstairs carrying a bag, trying to jog a few steps, or get out of a taxi with that leg. Also hurts if doing leg extension while sitting or lying down, with pain under kneecap and sometimes on outer side above or slightly below & behind the joint. Massaging the outer tendons brings some relief.
    If I miss a day of knee exercises, the pain seems worse, as though it's stiffening up. And after even a 20 minute rest or so, the first couple leg extensions yield loud crepitus. After that, it seems to calm down and the joint moves more quietly. To note, I can now ride an exercise bike with little pain and use an ellipser. But I can't do deep knee bends without a good bit of pain. What I hope to do is get back to running.
    Question is, while -- yeah, I know, I probably should have gotten that MRI and maybe still should -- with a well-crafted sports rehab that's designed for knee pain, can I eventually get past this and how long should it take? The injury happened two months ago, so I'm getting impatient.

    Thank you John,
    Yes I had started these types of excercises, as I knew from being off work for a year (6 months on meds that obviously were not working). so slowly I started to do more gentle excercises.
    I do two x15 minute ones rather than full on 3I also do 10 minutes abs and arms.
    I have lost the few kilos I was told to lose.
    I have also changed my diet, cut out oats, wheat, barley, fried, I eat only natural yogurt (probiotic, no sugars) I eat easi-yo which is great but I buy sugar free, Greek.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the informative video.
    I had a MPFL reconstruction with a ITB relase as well back in January.
    Returning back to running and twisting associated with football after 5/6 months, I've been performing the glide test and apprehension test pretty regularly just to see if anything has been changing since I've started my running and dribbling etc.
    I've been told by my physio that my MPFL will only stretch and become more lax through twisting motions and prolonged misfiring of my VMO during physical activity. I'd just like to confirm.. by doing these two tests regularly and pushing my kneecap laterally I won't be stretching my MPFL to become more lax? With a long history of subluxation in my knee, I'm a little paranoid in spite of 100% reassurances from my surgeon and physio.
    Thanks and keep up the great work!

    Roman Garcia this is an assessment to a theoretically knee, And obviously it would be aggravating to the pathology if it were to arise in the evaluation, but it isn't the case and at the same time it is the case at which moment the evaluation would pause to further the search for cause as in the case of Patellar Femoral syndrome, Chondromalacia, irritation of the Plica, Hoffa syndrome etc.. ! Another thing Roman there's a few other things you need to keep in mind throughout a knee examination and in any other examination like associated neurological disorders the patients psychological state or if the knees condition is due to a higher or lower disorder that's being reflected on the knee, To ensure that the three sub-systems are being kept in mind. I enjoyed the video John, good work. I would enjoy a video John that implements International Functional Classification with a pathology of your choosing. It would help me in my evaluations with cyclists I usually tend to.

    Hi john, So my knee is swollen and hurts after doing basically any physical activity: it also gets worse with weather changes,
    (I'm a figure skater and it hurts after I skate a lot) also, it's still swollen after 2 weeks from the initial injury (I fell on it while I was still rotating in the air). It will randomly send pain all the way up my leg and will ache A LOT.
    What do to think it could be!? What should I do!?
    Love your videos, thanks so much!

The meniscus are damaged and very inflamed, however I went to see a Traumotologist but he says start rehab, however I have been told this will not start until June next year. So now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Not sure what can be done for meniscus. Grade 3/4Chondropathy. Any info will be appreciated as I desperately want to start work again. Thank you.

    John,
    As a young sports massage practitioner, I always feel very eager to perform as many tests as possible to help my patients. I'm currently studying sports therapy at the moment and feel I will learn a hell of a lot of tests from that. I have quite a few questions to ask, mainly to try and steal some of your knowledge :)
    Do you feel that most tests are something that a practitioner performs because they value the principles and benefits as an individual? Do you feel that most practitioners like yourself would have quite a few tests in common if you were to treat the exact same patient? Obviously things like postural and ROM are pretty standard but I would love to hear how you feel about the tests you perform.
    Great videos, put it this way, this year I get taught by two great physios in person and by you on here at home!
    Thanks for sharing your talent

    Dear John,
    It gives me immense pleasure to see your video and without a hint or doubt I declare it to be the most informative video covering all that it takes to examine a knee joint.
    Ques: I had undergone ACL reconstruction surgery about a year ago, but still suffer from knee buckling or giving out when I jump, and I twist it sometimes.
    Got it checked when that happened from the surgeon and he says the graft is in place after he performed Lachman's test on my knee.
    What according to you can be the reason for my condition. Can I consider the surgery I went through to be successful and if yes, is there a way to get back to normal physical activity like I used to do, including Tennis, Soccer, etc.
    Thanks for making this awesome educational video.
    Cheers and greeting from India!

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  10 років тому +1

      Thanks for the fantastic comment, I appreciate when people say nice things. In terms of your knee, I think your ACL might not be functioning like you think it does, however, the lachmans is a good test (not the best in my opinion) and if performed by the surgeon he should have a good idea if the ACL is performing its role. If you are unhappy as I would be I would consider another MRI to confirm or deny the possibility of another tear. Good luck, John G

      @Shashank_Naidu 10 років тому

      John Gibbons Thank you John for your valuable suggestion and for replying to my query.
      My surgeon told me that strengthening the muscles in my leg will be helpful in stopping the still unstable knee which according to him should not happen.
      However I have started running normally and I'm also able to change directions somewhat (but with some hesitation).
      What muscles according to you should be strengthened after ACL reconstruction surgery (Hamstring Graft) that will help me achieve a very stable and strong knee that is capable of withstanding pressures of playing tennis and soccer?
      Thanks and love from India.
      :)

    I actually flinched watching the end of this. i had a physio knee assessment done on Friday which agreed with what almost everybody else thinks, i.e. that I have a mesicus tear for the last 11 weeks. Following the assessment (when I ended up flinching for real pain) I have had my knee playing up over most of the Easter weekend - can anyone tell me if that is normal? I am now really dreading the after effects of the steroid injection that I am having on Thursday.

I used to do hill climbing and running with a weighted back back. I've recently Injured both knees by excessive jumping bending and climbing during a mud run after Injuring them hill climbing, right is beginning to ease off I could hardly walk on them nor flex or extend them for a week or more. My left is still in poor condition so after an appointment booked at the Drs I've had no examination no referral and told I need to exercise more and not to strap it as I will weaken the knee.

    Hi, recently i have a knee problem which i suspect it might be patelloferomal pain syndrome however, would you mind seeing if my guess is correct?
    I used to have loud crack sound when i straight my leg after benting it. Did the X-ray but it show no swollen, bone breakage or abnormality. The cracking sound goes off after a few months and recently my knee starts to ache around the top corner of my knee cap and i have this feeling that there is a constant grinding sensation when i just slightly move my knee. I could still walk, climb stairs and sit down but it pain a little when walking or bent my knee 90 degree when sitting.
    Do you think i'm having a patelloferomal pain syndrome or kneecap loosening? What should i do to solve this problem? and.... if i were to go for travel which involves walking, is it still correct?
    PLease help me as i'm still a 22 teenager girl and i do not want to have permanent knee problem

    I am just wondering why I would need info on bow legs??? My legs are not a problem just the knees (chondropathy, tendonitis, degenerative meniscal one posible tear the other no tear) please I was aaking for help, as I have been informed that Chondroitin and Glucasomine taken can help with these issues, I was asking what your thoughts were on treatment as have been told to have rehab, however my first appointment is not until June next year. I was hoping few tips on how I can help myself. However just not sure why you would think I had bow legs. Thank you

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  8 років тому +1

      +Alison Stevens I would try and look at strengthening the Gluteal muscles (Gluteus medius) without exacerbating the knee pain. Be careful on squatting and lunging initially as these exercises could make your pain worse. I would simply stand on one leg making sure you activate the gluteus medius, and then balance for 10-30 seconds and repeat on opposite side. when you can this without being unsteady then start to move the non stable leg (swing leg) forward and backwards and side to side for 3-5 times as this will help stabilise the knee by strengthening the muscles that promote stability on one leg. If you can't maintain stability then simply stretch the adductors before you perform the exercise. Hope that helps and good luck

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  10 років тому

      If it is the movement at 8.40 then as I am passively flexing the knee it could be patellofemoral pain if on top of knee cap or meniscus if pain is deep inside the knee. If you feel pain walking downstairs then it might be a patellofemoral issue. Book in and see someone like me in your area, good luck.

    Great video. Question: is there no objective manual method to check for patella maltracking? Or did I miss that part in the video? thanks

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  10 років тому

      I think i show a few tests directly for the patella during the video, if my patient says their anterior part of their knee hurts when they sit for a long time and they go to stand up then it could be patella femoral pain syndrome, also if they say it hurts downstairs or walking downhill then these are part of the subjective history so should help your hypothesis during the objective assessment. Hope that helps

      There is also another test I remember called chondromalacia patella stress test. You apply pressure on the superior part of the patella then ask the patient to isometrically contract the quads. Pain on the patellar region and the quads tendon is a positive sign. I have patella alta on both knees so I'm always positive.

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  10 років тому

      That test is commonly called the 'Clark's' test and i advise not ever to do this test as it can seriously cause a major problem if done incorrectly and most people perform the test incorrectly.

    I cannot believe all that you have done, all these tests, I have had MRI which have shown Chondropathy grade 2/3 8 years ago now I have grade 3/4 I have damaged menisci, all I was given by the Traumotologist was heavy pain killers and to start rehab, I have now been off work for a year, although I am taking 800mg of chondroitin which was prescribed by a Rheumatologist. I am not over weight but my job is to be on my feet all day.Traumotologist said it was my age and wear and tear what do I expect. Which I thought was just rude. Surely I would need to see an Osteopath not a Traumotologist. Any help would be so so grateful so I can get back to work.Thank you so much.

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  8 років тому +1

      +Alison Stevens Thanks for the message and if honest I am not sure if Chondroitin actually repairs the cartilage, however if you feel it helps then why not. I always say that the Knee is the 'Weak link' in the chain and it is not normally the knees fault of why it becomes degenerative and painful. Maybe see someone like me to have a look at the position of the foot and the strength of the gluteal muscles as I say - strong glutes makes the knees more stable. Good luck!

    People just think you tear you acl, but it's not just acl. You damage your medial meniscus and MCL with ACL tear. I have slight acl torn, damaged my medial meniscus and MCL. Doctor was planning for surgery, but he changed his mind when he saw me after. My leg straighten up nicely, swelling was gone and could walk properly. Now the only slight problem i am having is that i cant bend my knee all the way to my buttocks. There is only half a inch gap, which stressed me out. Any solution?

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  9 років тому +2

      guggie hi, thanks for the message. Sounds like you are recovering well, the limited knee flexion is either from residual swelling or the meniscus due to the tear is limiting the movement. The ACL will never repair but if it is only a partial tear you can probably suffice without surgical intervention. Good luck!

    I've been having a problem with my knee for about 3 months now and I was wondering if you could help me out, it started out with some pains with running and jumping. I went to the doctors and he said to take it easy as he thought it might be a sprain. A few weeks later nothing had gotten better, he said there was some swelling and to go for an x-Ray, so I did and they checked the results and said nothing is wrong with, I'm very confused as I just want to know what is wrong with it. It's getting better but I want to know how to speed up the process.

      Hello Baka, its hard for me to comment on your knee pain without looking at you but I would suggest seeing someone like me for an initial assessment as you might have torn the meniscus (cartilage) within the knee or the ligaments on the side (MCL) as these are typical footballers injuries. Good luck, JG

      @JohnGibbons  9 років тому +2

      Sounds like an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear if gives way, if no swelling but just painful then it probably is a Meniscus tear (Cartilage). Either way a MRI scan is next stage to see what you have done. Good luck

    Dear Dr. Gibbons, thank you for sharing your informative video. I've been feeling a discomfort behind my right knee for some time, hard to bend down, hard to sit down on the floor etc. I haven't exercised for over a year and I have gained about 15 lbs, I feel stiffer in general. Yesterday when I sat down in my car I felt a new pain in my knee, I would like to describe the feeling as it popped out but it didn't. I can not put any weight on that leg so I can't walk. The pain/discomfort is not behind my knee anymore but on the front under the cap more towards the inside. I have also felt a discomfort in my hip during this time. I have not gone to the DR yet, I am resting and waiting for it to get better. Your advice would be highly appreciated ...Thank you Kindly . PS. Can one get a tier in the minis without doing anything stringiness?

    • @JohnGibbons

    My Quad muscle has lost it support knee cap. Doctor gave me 2 exercises to do. He says Meniscus is not torn. Physical Therapist thinks it is torn. My left knee does not flex as well and clicks. My knee does not have any pain just a little discomfort due to muscle support. I heard Meniscus can still be torn without pain. What do you think?

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  10 років тому

      Most meniscal tears will either give you a restriction to either full flexion or full extension. It can be painful or just feel a bit stiff, you can also have pain around the joint line and a sensation of locking or clicking. If you feel you have those symptoms then you probably have a meniscal tear.

    hi dr.john gibbons
    at 3:30 when i do the same thing i hear a knocking sound at my left knee but when i release it i hear another knocking sound like...... there are something stuck :( ,
    i can walk and run normally but i can't bind it 100% without hearing that knocking sound .......please tell me if you know what might cause this knee problem ....... i am waiting your response.

    • @JohnGibbons
      @JohnGibbons  10 років тому +2

      If pain / stiffness feels like it is deep inside the knee then it is probably a meniscus tear (cartilage), if pain / stiffness / click is on top of the knee then it is probably the patella realigning itself...either way you might want to see someone like me. Good luck!

    • @sbapungi1506
      @sbapungi1506 10 років тому

      i saw both conditions symptoms and i feel sure that it's the first condition (meniscus tear), like i said i can walk and run normally but i don't feel that my knee is tight 100%, i am afraid to do any binds with my knee due to this injury and since 35 weeks ago when it happens. so, do i need a surgery ??or am i late to even to think about it ??
      and sorry it toked me so long to answer back.

    @romangarcia1974 9 років тому +1

    Your evaluation is thorough I will say that at least.But it was redundant and potentially painful to the patients.For example the grind test for the patella femoral joint is not necessary as is most of the meniscus testing techniques.Your techniques potentially create unnecessary traume to an already traumatized tissue .further more maybe your position during the presentation was for filming purposes.But I would recommend because of the parallax phenomenon , a better position for knee examination would be facing the patient, not next to the patient.For knee examination you want to determine two things only.How much is hard tissue related or soft-tissue related cause of knee joint pain.That you can determine without exposing the patient to potentially traumatizing techniques or exorbitant examination procedures.

    Thank you for being so gracious .But my comments were some what chital of your evaluation techniques.You video was posted in 2012.Time does have a way of refining a clinicians techniques as they evolve their sensitivity to their environment and develope procedure more akin to their own qualities and perspectives of joint conditions and refrain from mimicking others evaluation techniques whose effectiveness has more hearsay than clinical validity.The best clinicians posses a sensitivity gardnered from years of observation from trial and error consistent with measured and validated consistency.Learn first your strenght and degrees of observational skills and develope them as they will be your guide to true objectivness .Sooner or later we have to shake free from other clinicians way of examination and develope our own.
