I'm a lowly peasant compared to this man's client's level and I always find it so hilariously idiotic that all of us, pro or non pro, struggle with pretty much the same stuff. I've gradually incorporated mobility and stability drills from this channel into my big lifts and it just feels like a new world has been opened to me. It feels so good!
All of you exercise gurus, putting out your videos, are so wonderful and helpful. I am grateful for your information and kindness in wanting to help us. Sincerely, Katie
Thank you !SQUAT UNIVERSITY..i have knee pain for 2years and weak leg .I try this single leg squat for a week and my knee pain is gone and my leg is getting stronger.
But where do you begin? Is there a place I can access these workouts? My knee is giving me issues. I love to run but I am too afraid to push myself because I fear causing more harm.
I wish to go back to basketball rec leagues, but I've got this light pain that comes out when jogging. I'm hoping this exercise will help me. Thanks a lot for the great info!
Will your exercises work for me? I have half of a meniscus and I've had 1 all tear. I've sprained my knee like 6 times after my surgery. ATM I feel one wrong move and it's sprain city. I can't run.
I have been training myself to do the gopnik squat. My knees improved massively. Also, stretched my hamstrings with pointed toes. I used to feel pain and struggle to put weight on my knee after a game of squash. Now I can sprint top speed again, and jump like Jordan. If this was the 14th century, people would think I was a witch possessed by the devil.
@@slantdwave I am 46 años. That being said, I may age slowly as my dad is 93 and my granddad passed at 105. so I may have reduced wear on my body compared to the average person.
@SquatUniversity what do we do if we are hearing knee clicking sounds in conjunction to knee pain. will these exercises reduce the clicking from the knees? or is that a separate issue on its own?
Why aren’t these things the first method that PTs use? Like in all your videos you breakdown the possible problems and when you identify the problem you propose a solution, whereas most PTs say “this method works for x% of patients, let’s try it on you” without acknowledging the specificity of the situation
Honestly? Because they make more money that way. They hook you up to a tenz machine or heating pad or needles, none of which have any imperial evidence of efficacy, and then they can leave you and see more patients. It's that simple.
Google it. It is amazing how many solutions for physical issues are now online. OR- Get a Physical Therapist. This is usually covered by your health insurance. You said that you have a diagnosis. Ask the Physician who diagnosed you for a referral to a Physical Therapist. If I were you, I would get some names of potential Physical Therapists - ask your: family, friends, coworkers, etc. I sought out physical therapists in my area, so I wouldn't have to drive so far. (If this is possible.) Then do a little research on the Physical Therapist, check out their facility and equipment, etc. Once you are prepared with a name of a Physical Therapist, then you can ask your Physician for an Order referring you to your selected Physical Therapist so you are covered by your health insurance. Check your health insurance plan to see how often you can go. Then, work with your Physical Therapist and plan a schedule. Once your Physical Therapist teaches you the exercises you need to do, you can also do them yourself, if you have the discipline. The thing that is nice about having a Physical Therapist is that they can be so encouraging. It's like having your own cheerleader. This was what I did when I developed issues with my knees. @simplyret
i still have pain doing this. i do all these and can only squat half way to parallel before i get a pain just above my knee cap, anyone know how to fix this?
I noticed that when he was doing the touch-down squats and normal squats, he was activating his back muscles and extending his spine, so he needed to activate his hip flexors to keep his torso forward. When doing the pistol squat, he was letting his spine flex and so the hip flexors weren't working as hard. I'm guessing this is the issue. I notice when I squeeze my back, core, and glutes, my pistol squats are more stable and pain-free.
I’ve been dealing with this for over 2 years 😭 sometimes it hurts sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes I can run pain free, squat pain free, and other times it hurts when there is seemingly no change, other than it being a few days later, it makes no sense. I suppose this could maybe be a clue.
@@Skidgiz99Um, no. That may have worked for you, but the whole “it worked for me, so…” isn’t the best approach to giving advice. Go get it assessed, man. Two people can have the same symptoms of something with different causes. Just like in this video where his knee pain had nothing to do with his knee, your hamstring pain very likely is a symptom of something else. And simply squatting more runs the risk of you encouraging whatever imbalance, weakness, or immobility you may have. It could be that your hamstrings are working harder to compensate for a muscle that’s not priming. By just squatting more without engaging that muscle, it will only weaken while your hamstring works more. And eventually you’ll get injured. Get it properly assessed.
@@RGV2300Clicking sound from above the knee cap...quad tendon? But the pain/irritation on outside of knee. Already had meniscus root tear surgery 2 years ago.
@@leny7829 might be that, i was supposing it could be a meniscus tear, but since you already had that injury, then it might be just pain from a bad movement or something like that. I had a tear in both of my knees, the pain was also in the side, click was between the femur and tibia, so the meniscus itself (after the click, pain used to came). If you have clicks somewhere else, there is no need to worry about, at least in my experience. But better go to a doc, now diagnoses are kinda quick, two of my friends have told me docs now use ecographies to watch the injured tissue. 7 years ago, in my country it was x-rays or a magnetic resonance imaging, which was expensive.
@@RGV2300 thanks for your feedback. Never heard of ecographies. Need to ask doc...when I finally get around to it. Been trying to do some rehab exercises just in case it is more of an issue of weakness or tightness
@Rob Marsh I did and had therapy with Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine team. There was little to no change. Then, they suggested ultrasonic tenotomy on both patellar tendons. Took a while to heal up, felt okay for a couple weeks but pain came back. Felt like they gave up on me after that. I'm screwed.
@@Sleepless222 You need to possibly/likely go deeper. How is your diet and weight? Look into eccentric emphasis resistance training and utilizing isometrics if you haven't already.
@@bonusmeme1468 you made a statement you simple minded f***! Your statement was based upon your opinion, I contradicted your opinion. If you had a right to make your statement I have a right to make mine, you get it?
Neither one of those work Try a deep tissue massage with ART massage and maybe some Graston then do these exercises a couple days later Maximum results, almost like it never happened
It's bc our bodies are not symmetrical. Ex. One leg is shorter. Messes with all joints. Compensate the height difference of yr legs. Shoe pad(s) in the shoe Of yr shorter leg. Yr hip won't drop effecting all parts of yr body. Simply stated
Nah you actually need to use your glutes in squat. if you use your quads you will get injured more. the reason for this? glutes are 3x more powerful than your quads furthermore its situated behind you so you will be able to balance yourself if you use the glute muscles. the quads are weaker & are directly on top of your knees. so injury to the knees are not unheard of.
Um yeah. That was the prognosis in this video. The guy was putting too much pressure forward and not sitting back to use his glutes. Thanks for summarizing I guess lol
