Thanks so much, Sweet Caramel! I appreciate your support!

[@ravichandranr809]

I had an operation a month ago and your 1 to 4 exercises are very helpful for myself. Thank you

[@aydaghashamshami2046]

Thank you so much! I'm 25 and I injured my knee three years ago while doing a deep yoga squat badly. It did not get better with time as others told me. I'm a runner an my gym instructor told me if I don't remedy it now, I may not be able to run ten after 30. I do some exercises as she told me with machines for strengthening my quads. However, I've decided to stop since I notice pain in my caps with even the lightest weights. I don't know exactly what to do but now I think starting with these light exercises at home and without weights and machines, I may be improving my quads without aggravating my caps injury. Thank you😊

I am 29 years old & I'm suffering from pain for few days in my lower part of left knee, is there any solution I can go to

[@marionbaker4168]

I am 74 years old and have always done some form of exercise. I developed a pain at the back of my knee whilst visiting the ruins in Greece a year and a half ago . It felt like the tendon was tight. For the last six months my quads are very tight and aches and walking I have pains from my heal up the back and top of the leg all the way up to my buttocks. I would appreciate your thoughts on what stretches would be suitable. Sorry for the long message. I am in the UK

These exercises are very helpful. I’m 49 and training for my 40+ soccer league. I pulled my right quadriceps while sprinting. Did some ice and rest for 3 days. These exercises are great for helping me know where I stand with the injury and to helping me regain strength! Thank you!

You are really quite good at PT. I go to a good one also. Sometimes I was feeling discomfort in left meningitis that’s why I asked my husbands knee doc about squats. Where I go for pt they are also great. I’ve gone for a few things, starting 3 months after spine surgery (successful). 2 of the owners are also teachers at a good university. You’ve also helped with a lot of exercises to be strong. I also go to my pets recommended personal trainer who is awesome too. I’m 73. Got a keep moving. 🙌😊

[@paulgerzon9633]

Thanks for posting all these videos. They are useful! And I'm using them ----I am wishing to strengthen my quads as part of an overall program to heal my left knee. I used to be able to pull the left foot all the way back to buttocks; but now it won't go that far. X-ray and expert Dr. says it's loss of cartilage, so now bones are closer, so less movement is possible. Solution: None, he said. It's like you drive a car, eventually the tires get balder and balder. My knees, thus, after decades of use, are "bald," or loss of cartilage. He had no program to reverse this..... Well, true, or not? Maybe. Maybe not. Are my knees like tires, or not? I'm not sure Maybe the knees are troubled because I've had some imbalance, some tightness, and some weakness in left leg / hip, and then I walked and ran on that leg for decades! After that amount of time, an imbalance eventually causes problems. So I'm going to try to get the knee more flexible by strengthening the weak muscles, and stretching the tight muscles. What do you think?!

[@GrazielaHaney]

Great demonstration! Would it be helpful to use EMS on my quads for better strengthing while exercising?

[@MA-ph2sn]

Hi, I am 52 male weight 61kgd with a history of diabetes for almost last 20 years. I had an accident and 3 out of the 4 knee ligament are partially demage.

My question is , does these ecercises will help improving my condition or would it worsen them. Awaiying your kind guidence. Thanks Moon

I’m recovering from a knee dislocation, it’s been a year since I was injured and it took me 4 months to start walking again and now I’m trying to regain that strength and muscle in my thigh, my physical therapy that I was given seems to not be working any more unfortunately and I’m a dancer so having this injury is kind of ruining that for me so I’m trying to find ways to help me recover, I can squat and sit and walk but I can’t run and when I jump (barley even leaving the floor) I land straight legged which is not safe and I still can’t straighten my leg all the way, so basically what I’m wondering is, will these exercises help me get back to my full ability?
