Tony, not sure if you will read this response but I must tell you that I've watched and APPLIED most of your exercises for knee flexion. My patella fracture left me with 25 degree flexion at six weeks when the brace was removed and I thought my life was over! After six weeks of physical therapy AND doing most of your knee flexion exercises, I am now at 130 degrees! THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
Tony, I am looking at my third knee replacement on my right knee. I am a very active 59 years old woman. The 1st was destroyed by neglligence of doctor and especially rehab facility in 2006. Was able to get the 2nd done by a incrdible ortho dr Kirby Hitt at Scott & White hospital in Texas (I live in Florida) that was in 2009 and my knee has been great until a series of falls due to heart issues. I am scared to have the revision again, but has altered my life so much I am not enjoying it. Do you have any suggestions?
Tony, your videos continue to be extremely helpful, as is your Facebook page. I am in Canada and was discharged from physical therapy in week 4 as I achieved 138 degrees flexion and 0 degrees extension. While these are great numbers and I am happy to have achieved them, my knee is very stiff and my walking gait is certainly off. I am walking around as much as possible - on average 2-4 kms a day and riding the recumbent bike about 5 kms a day now. Recovery is very tiring. I continue to do PT at home (stretches and strengthening ). The tightness is so uncomfortable. is it okay to use mild heat to relax my knee? While icing helps after a walk, I find a warm magic bag to be so soothing - thoughts?
