Thanks for the detailed explanation. My Osteoarthritis is more to the inside & bottom of the knee cap. I also get sharp pains under the knee cap with certain exercises like lunges & squats. My Physio Therapist told me I will feel this for the rest of my life. I hope she's wrong. I have saved this video & will work my way through these. My goal is to get back to doing stairs properly & not the one step, one step I have been doing. I love all the content (videos & emails) you put out! 🤩

That is exactly where my osteoarthritis is and I get the pains under my kneecaps. My PT told me the same thing and was giving me exercises that were causing more pain with the mindset of “No pain, no gain”

@bethhasilo1536 День назад

@@audraadams1447 I will say when I told my PT the squats were causing a sharp pain as well as a locking up feeling, she told me not to do them. At Physio, she put me on a weight machine that has a big plate for my feet attached to weights & I push out to about 85% extension then back. This simulates the squat with much less pressure on my knee. I find the exercises in these videos are very beneficial as well. Good Luck with your journey through this!

Thank you so very much for your inspirational videos. I'm a 68 yr old female knee osteoarthritis and damaged my lcl. I have strong quads and glutes but it's amazing how quick you lose it I'm 10 weeks in to recovery. Its been fairly exhausting getting back to walking without a limp. After watching one of your videos it clicked that my brain is getting the muscles around my knee to stiffen when starting to walk and almost like protecting from pain. So I've been following your instructions and it's amazing I'm not limping anymore. So very grateful to you for all that you do blessings from Ireland ❤

Yes they can be, but recognize everyone with arthritis is starting out at different levels. Choose the movement that feels best and work there. The goal is not to increase pain significantly. Modify as needed.

Hi Alyssa, thanks so mucho for these videos. I have a question: I have chondromalacia on my left knee after knee surgery (they aligned and lower my knee cap) and my knee hurts really bad on the front. The other knee keeps out of alignment and higher that the left). I’ve heard that stepping up was bad for my knee, is this true? I also have been recently diagnosed with seronegative arthritis now

@arthritisadventure 2 дня назад

Stepping is not inherently bad but it does depend on how it feels. If it causes pain right now, modify to continue to work on strengthening as strengthening remains important.

Really good. Thanks! My knee has had discomfort on the medial area just below the knee cap. It is getting better, but the leg presses I have been doing in the gym seems too annoy my low back.would these exercises be a better solution for me? Also how do I strengthen my arthritic low back?

@guillermojacques6671 2 дня назад

Solid and sound advice progressing through each level of difficulty. Is once or twice weekly the limit of performing these exercises? Does anything help in increase this frequency to three times per week? Supplements or hydrotherapy?

@allancowley2254 День назад

Hi Alyssa. This seems a very useful video with reasonable steps in progression. The only option that I would also recommend (from my own frustrating experience with knee pain) is wall squats i.e taking the squat position with your back "resting" flat against a wall - which is another way of getting eccentric time under tension. Many physical therapists recommend quad strengthening to reduce knee pain, but I am curious about your view on an alternative argument that one practitioner advocates - that quad strengthening is actually counter productive - because it tends to pull the knee cap up into a position that aggravates tendon and joint pain - he instead advocates hip, glute and calf strengthening - in effect using anything but the quads ! I cant say that this tallies with my experience (and I would be cautious about losing quad strength) - but maybe it depends on the cause of the knee pain - arthritis c.f runner's knee ?

@arthritisadventure День назад

There is no research that I have come across saying that quad strengthening is detrimental so I disagree. Quad weakness can contribute to knee pain. I do agree that strengthening the whole leg is important: quad, hamstrings, glutes.

they can be as long as they feel good! Strengthening the quads can be helpful in supporting the knee. I also have this video that may be helpful for bone on bone: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Q68eY9k5Ps.html

@juliaryan1410 2 дня назад

Would you explain why you shouldn't let your chest come forward when going up or down with the chair squat? You say to not do it "especially as you stand up". I'm thinking there's a good reason for quality of form or not working the quads right, but am not sure how the move is compromised if you lean forward. Thank you! (p.s....your videos here and in the membership keep me hopeful).

@arthritisadventure 18 часов назад

They are both important.

@pats3714 День назад

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but there's a school of thought that strong quads feed into muscle imbalances and worsen, if not cause, knee problems.
