Top Exercises for Pain-Free Knees 

You can also increase blood flow to an area with a mild warm up, like a cardiovascular activity. That would a lot easier and less uncomfortable than a tennis ball.

great advice and exercises. Many seniors have knee issues. Show a progression of this so that a senior can learn the coordination mechanics of the advanced movements so they can do this without injury.

I'LL FOREVER REMAIN GRATEFUL TO YOU IF YOU ANSWER THIS... been suffering terribly from overuse injury knee pain for 5 months. Explain fully (in terms of musculoskeletal biomechanics and functional movement patterns) whether "stalk exercise" without stalk in video is same as "straight leg bends" on one leg in article for which link is given in video. I guess they're not same bcuz pic in article shows "straight leg bends" keeping shin perpendicular to thigh (although not written in article), but video shows "stalk exercise" keeping whole leg straight.

Very well demonstrated, Sir.

Could you please explain more fully or more preferably refer me to videos (preferably 1080p and with a close-up view from multiple angles) for each of the following exercises described in the article for which link is given below video: 1. "Have your client lunge forward gently with the left foot while reaching the right arm out toward the right side. Make sure both feet are facing forward. As the client reaches to the right, instruct him or her to push the left hip to the left (i.e., away from the right hand) to help keep the body balanced over its center. Move the left leg/knee toward the midline of the body." In particular, I would like to know how to "push the left hip to the left". 2. "Have your client stand with the feet hip-width apart and facing forward. Instruct the client to step toward the left side and lower body into a squat position. As the client does this, rotate the arms and torso over the left side of the body, ensuring that the torso remains upright." In particular, I would like to know how to "step towards the left side" - do I simply increase the distance between my feet while keeping them forward-faced or do I rotate my leg out so that the left foot is at an angle away from the body's midline, or do I do both?

The step back exercise is obviously good for the knee, but probably also a good drill for people who get back pain when walking, i.e. Lumbar extension intolerance

I get the exercises but I don't get that stuff with the tennis ball. A Foam roller might be best.

Thanks Im going to work on this

Thank you so much!

First time visiting and bravo on these exercises! Thanks

These exercises look fantastic.

*I'd just do that exercise in the book **_Bulletproof Your Knees_** - one and done.*

So you are advocating stretching a cold muscle before resistance training?

Be practical to see results.Nothing to lose.If works for you then continue otherwise stop.Thanks.

The R-KILL-EEEZ Tendon....LMAO!

why not use a hard foam roll??

with the last exercise cant you just do a simple sumo squat at 90 degree?

but my knees hurt too much to do any of these smh

😃

why would you smash you soft tissues before a workout?

complete waste of time...please folks...squat..ACE is starting to really disturb me with their lame exercise advice
