After multiple doctor visits and physios nothing seemed to fix my YEARS of knee pain until I followed the exercises in this video. Now I can play with my kids. Thank you very much guys!
On Monday I started getting the beginning symptoms of runner's knee (lots of clicking/snapping sounds, and pain in front of knee), so this week I decided to take a break from running and focus on these injury prevention exercises. How many times a week should I be doing these? Is every day too much or is it golden? I've done these two days in a row so far and I think its helping. I just don't want to end up hurting myself by trying to fix myself too much. Any advice is appreciated.
@@yahya9889 Yes! It really did help. I did these exercises for about a month, and then everything seemed to clear up. I think I took about two weeks off running, and just kept the mileage low for the following two weeks. I did the exercises about 5 times per week.
Runner's knee. Another ambiguous term to describe chondromalacia patella-cartilage degradation. If you don't want this shit to develop osteoarthritis like me you have to follow all the instructions of the experts.
Does anybody know where to find one of the ankle resistance bands he used in this video? I have search online for them, but I haven't found ones that are as short as this one. I also want one that is as heavy as possible. If anybody has any good suggestions, please let me know!
Am not sure if this is common in Runner’s knee but I just noticed on my 9mile run my knees after wards were sore for about two min and the rest of my running was fine with no knee soreness, the following week I did 10 miles afterwards my knee was very sore like an aching feeling and I was thinking maybe I should ice it, but I didn’t, I have an 8mile long run tomorrow am hoping my knees won’t be sore afterwards, so basically am asking will these exercises help with soreness in knees after running or do you have other exercises for soreness in knees after long run I can get access to on your website?
I've started running a few weeks back.. Since I've to take a test soon ,I went through a rigorous running pattern.(After spending an hour for stretching and warm up session) One day my left knee gave out and I took rest for ten days and now I am fine. But after a walk of four kms I felt my right(not the cured leg) knee unstable I took a three day rest but now I have a dull pain even when I am sitting without doing anything. I can't take rest again since I have my test soon. Can anyone say what my issue is and how to solve it? Please do reply
Hi Kirk & Charlie, I find whenever I do the swissball leg curls my calf's cramp. I there something I am doing wrong? I don't have this problem on my long runs. thanks
Great question! From Runner's World: "“Runner's knee” is another name for patellofemoral pain syndrome, which translates in plain language to kneecap pain. ... Patellofemoral pain is most often a result of abnormal mechanics caused by problems up- or downstream from the knee, forcing the patella to bump against the femoral groove.
ronny slams these are for long term conditioning exercises. It doesn’t matter when, what matters is it’s incorporated into your daily/every-other-day routine
When I run, specially downhill I get pain right below, on the outer side of my left knee. Bought a 3-pack of rubber band the other day and I started doing these exercises today. I get back with the result but I am very positive to this. Thanks a lot for all great stuff you post here 🐻
... as a German Biologist - this is about Ignorance once we sense “Pain” the Process is advanced Warnings coming far too late it takes intense Study and Training to understand our Complexity and always do Full Body Concept Training as we Over Reward - we numb the PAIN and stay far too long in the destructive way it is a real miracle to meet a fully aware Coach who knows how to direct full concept training Thank YOU!
Trying to become a runner at age 41 and like 50 pounds overweight. My knees put a halt to that quickly. I’m gathering as much info as I can and this makes sense, along with pointing feet forward, picking my heels up more, increasing cadence.
Yes start slowly with low intensity to let your body begin to adapt. I ran 15 years ago and didn’t use RU-vid or a trainer, just went for it, and I’m sure my age helped against injuries. Now getting back into it, I have to be more careful 😂
Thanks! I just came of a month long hiatus from running...(i was walking everyday), but my knee started bothering me. I'm definitely going to implement these exercises.
I run frequently and the best thing I have found that helps my runners knee is a hemp symmetry CBD infused knee compression sleeve...it works great for my knee pain!
Ive been running for a year now and ive never gotten injured because.. Ik a way that everyone can do to get rid of all your running problems that are associated with body problems like arthitis plantar facitis runners knee and so on so on and it doesnt take long
I will never understand what the hurry is with these videos. If I should do 20 reps, then do 20 reps. Do you actually just expect me to pause every 30 seconds, do the exercise then get up, walk to my pc, resume... why? Don't you get more ad revenue on longer videos? I don't get it.
Hey there! We try and mix up our videos with some shorter ones just demonstrating the exercises and some others that are fully follow-along since people have different preferences! You can search "follow along" in our videos if you're looking for full workouts :)
Really nice set of exercises guys. I used to ran Marathons and Half Marathons when I was teenager. Unfortunately, I had 3 knee surgeries that I stupidly didn't recover properly. Since then, I was unable to run without pain and I have the target to finish an Ironman. The pain was so intense that I gave up running about 8 years ago. It was getting sore even to walk. I started to do these exercises and with a week I was able to run two half marathons in the same week, relatively pain free. I can run up to 10k completely pain free. I am spreading this video to all fellas who run that I know
@@pereiraplaza222 Yes, it was almost 2 years ago. To be honest it affected me in the long run, as I added too much on my right calf. But yes, I wasn't able at all to run because of knee pains I had had since my meniscus surgery when I was in college. I was still practising all other sports, but no running. Today, I wouldn't advise such an increase in training load, but it is possible.
I think the meaning was that it's not necessary in order to physically do the movement, but it's important in order to do the movement in a way that won't hurt you in the long run. We all misspeak on camera sometimes ;)
I have a very badly paining knee wen I try to bend it too much lik say 85 degrees doctor say it's patellar chondromalecia.. And advised not to climb stairways sit in floor not to bend much etc.....but cam I do these exercises to strength Wil it be OK?
Potentially! Be careful to identify if pain is from injury or from potential weakness. We aren't doctors so make sure to clear anything with your doctor first. Strengthening should be top priority once you're cleared though!
How do you fix your knee (and only on one leg) turning inward when I run? the other leg tracks in a straight line but one leg keeps turning into the center. I have to keep looking down and very CONSCIOUSLY forcing my legs to track properly. How can i fix this for good??
I have been running for quite sometime mostly 10k distances, but recently I have been feeling pain at the back of both my knees (on my left knee its in the right side portion while on my right knee its on the left side portion) while running, very painful, even for just like a 4k walk I still feel it, can anyone tell what this might be and what is the treatment. Thank you.
what does it mean when my knees start to hurt really bad when running DOWNHILL, but not when running UPHILL?? Is that also from weak glutes? Or something else?
Absorbing impact on downhills is also much more stressful on the body than uphills, even though it feels "easier." Makes perfect sense your knees would hurt on downhills rather than uphills.
It has been 6 months and my knees still hurt. After my shoulder surgery last year, I couldn't do any lifting so I started running. After about 5ive months running on a treadmill at 6mpg at 6° incline for 20 min daily, my knees started hurting and no matter how much rest I do, the pain doesn't go away. I'm doing these "tests" to see what I might be able to strengthen but in this video, it does not say what to look for. Am I looking for one of these activities to hurt more than the others? If that's the case, should I continue in order to strengthen it or avoid it to promote healing?
While performing the last exercise I have intense pain in my left knee. Is that just a combination of being weak and tight? Meaning i need to Strengthen and Stretch it more. I just started training for a half marathon 5 months away
This hurts my knee whilst doing it. Is this a good sign? I've been doing a lot of exercises for my IT Band but when I put a lot of weight on my IT Band it hurts (I can jog normally but a full sprint I cannot do), any suggestions?
Why isn’t anyone talking about stretching? These strength exercises did not help my knee pain at all. It has been about two months of trying to find an answer. I finally stumbled onto some janky video of a Russian doctor who told me to stretch my quads. It’s now been three days of hour long quad, hamstring and hip stretching and I can actually walk a quarter mile without shooting pain in my knees.
Hey Hannah we actually LOVE talking about mobility. Just youtube "The run experience mobility" and we have a plethora of information. Check out these videos that could help your knee pain immensely ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RyosKaZO9lc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ECL7cApOppg.html is also another great video!
The magic bullet for knee pain will be specific to your problem. These hour long strengthening or stretching exercises might well be a waste of time depending on your specific problem. If you want a tight diagnosis and treatment plan you need to visit a professional, you're not going to get it on RU-vid.
There are several factors in treating joint pain naturally. One resource I found that succeeds in merging these is the Hartlyn Pain Plan (google it if you're interested) it's the most incredible blueprint that I have ever seen. look at the unbelievable info .
Appreciate Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Dinanlinson Rocky Position Approach (just google it)? It is a great one of a kind guide for learning how to fix chronic knee pain without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got excellent results with it.
Back into it as in these exercises work and you're running pain free again? Just found this video and am excited to try these out, but wondering how it's worked for you. I quit running as well because I just couldn't get around the pain, despite multiple doc visits etc.
i have pain in back of my knee little bellow knee. its not hurting when walking but hurts after 3-4km run. It started month ago. i started running one year ago slowly building my weekly km to around 60per week but pain started month ago you think thins exercises might help?
k0bi1 I’m the exact same. I have a marathon end of may so panicking now as back of knee hurts on every run. Going to a physio tomorrow. It’s $150 for a 45 min assessment so I’m hoping they don’t just refer me to doctor
@@mbubbles4808 $150 for a 45 min assessment? That's a lot of money. I experience knee pain as well and have started going to a physio. I live in Sweden and only have to pay $15 per session (which are either 45 or 30 min long). Once I have paid for more than 12 visits to the doctor's/physio/therapist, all visits are free for the remainder of the year. As someone who wants to stay physically active, I'm very grateful I don't have to pay very much to get professional help if I ever get injured.
Can I do this exercises every other day? Or 2 to 3 times a week? Can it be done as part of my lower body weight lifting day? Also, can it be done as a regular routine long term and maybe making it more challenging as I get stronger? Thanks!
The intention of the exercises in the video is to identify if there are weaknesses in the glutes that need to be addressed. While you can certainly incorporate these exercises into a regular routine, I wouldn't do them as frequently as 2 or 3 times a week, since your strength work needs to be balanced. Let's see what Kirk and Charlie have to say about what strengthening exercises there are in Part II of this series.
So symptoms are pain and weakness so I have pain after about eleven km in my left knee below my petela laterally which this band test recreated. Is this “runners knee”? Or tibial plateau issues? Could you explain the difference. Thanks. Ps. this channel is the best
Jude Scott get checked out at a physio. These exercises are mainly geared towards Runner's Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) whereas the pain (tibial plateau) you describe normally comes from a fracture of the shinbone.
+1 on Luke's recommendation. You can also sign up for an online consultation with TRE's Dr. Kyle Bolling. Check it out at therunexperience.com/training-plans/injury-consultation
Thank you for your video! Ive been running for 5months already gradually increasing speed. I increased my speed to 4.3 and my knee starting to hurt is been a month now; should i stay on the speed that i was on 4.0?
would back off the speed a bit and really pay attention to your form as you run. Form comes first before we add speed/velocity to our movement. Also, make sure you're giving your knee and surrounding tissues some extra love with some mobility before and after your workouts. Check out our video" How to fix your knee pain" with our friend Kelly Starrett.
