Hi there Dr. Jo! Should I do the knee exercises first or the knee stretches?

My father has Knees Osteoarthritis for a few years. We had reached to a stage where pain killers were not helpful. He watched these tips and started doing these exercises. It worked for him amazingly. He is back to normal functioning. He stopped doing exercising at one stage but had to start as developed pain again. Thank you very much for solving this issue for my Dad and for me as well as he was constantly looking for help and medical advice. God bless you.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. I'm glad they helped.

[@applepie8138]

Naveed Bangash, I know I’m a year late, but I was wondering how long your father did each exercise for, and how many reps he did. My dad works really long hours standing straight for way too long - even though he’s old, so I give messages to help relieve pain he gets from working like that every day. But you say these stretches really work, so I’d like to try them on him too!

​@catcam4028 true, but it's good for anyone to know in case u get injured, and also if you're trying to help someone else

[@veemcg3682]

Thank you Dr Jo for this very useful video. I've had severe widespread arthritis for years and had a total knee replacement 5 years ago. I'm retired and have other health issues as well so though my knee is a great success I have little strength and poor balance no stamina... At 60 I thought that's just my lot but now I think with the help of your videos I could improve my physical and mental health gradually whilst accepting my limitations...I don't expect to be 16 again but just stronger and more able to cope day to day with life and be as independent as I can. God bless you from vera in Northern Ireland. PS love your t-shirt! My lovely Snoopy..large black and white Springer spaniel died on April 20th this year just two days before his eighth birthday in a seizure and I miss him dreadfully...a very loving and special friend.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. So sorry to hear about your sweet Snoopy. All the pups here sent you virtual hugs ❤️🐾.

[@ghadghudi7737]

I always come back to your videos. They have helped me a whole lot.

[@prettynoose8497]

I strained my knee on a Friday from squats in the gym. Did all these exercises 3 times a day for 30 reps and the stretches once a day. Got great relief after the third day...and a week later I was back in the gym. I hated doing them, but the motivation was either be back in the gym in a week, or be out of the gym for a month.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Glad they helped.

[@MarcoDPolo]

For a beginner, how many reps for how many times a day would you recommend I do this?

[@nickijames5122]

I’ve strained my knee doing too many squats and lunges over the months, 6 days a week mostly, as part of my HiiT and strength workouts. It’s so frustrating. As well as doing these knee exercises, did you do any like upper body or abs exercises too? I’m trying to but wondered if I should be completely avoiding all exercise/workouts as I might prolong recovery (apart from knee exercises) 🤔 😔

[@kingdomwarriorpraise6294]

Could I ask if your knee swelled when you strained it? So, these exercises really helped cut down the recovery?

[@lizalane16]

Did you do the squats even though the knee hurt?

[@913spiffy]

My knees were the best thing about me then my gym closed and I had to start (yuck) gardening for exercise. One morning my left knee hurt so much that I was limping. One viewing and acting as advised in this video and I'm cured. I'm now jiggling my knee caps, squatting and stretching as per Dr. Jo. AMAZING!!! Thank you!!!

[@creativefolk]

This is the third time in 5 years I've visited your site for help, so I finally got around to sending a DONATION! What's invaluable is the way you explain things so clearly...the first time, I had seen a PT here in town for the diagnosis, and they hadn't been as specific as you are so their instruction actually made me worse because my posture wasn't correct. You're the BEST, and thanks for making this available free to so many people who need it. (But to those of you who can afford to send her a couple of bucks, don't wait 5 years like I did!)

Last year I had both my knees replaced 8 weeks apart I completed my PT visits for both knees. My first knee they had me doing these exercises, when I had my 2nd knee done, they didn't have me doing these exercises they said they were trying to catch it up to my right knee. I have been having trouble with the left knee. The more I used my left knee the worse it got. Been to the Dr. a couple of times with no help. I said it would be that way for awhile after 6 months of exercising with the more advanced exercises it got to the point that I could barely walk. And was in pain all the time while walking I knew it was my muscles because it only hurt while standing and walking. I have been doing these exercises for a week and a half now. I am seeing a huge improvement in my mobility. I am able to get up and start walking with light pain now. Thanks for reminding me about these exercises. That PT skipped. Its making a difference in my life.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. Sorry to hear it was a rough start, but I am glad you are progressing again. Good luck with the rest of your recovery!

Dear Dr. Jo, First, your info helps as It starts Safe and stays Safe for the patient. I have a bent knee that has been difficult to straighten. The bent knee seemed to come on when I have been sitting for long periods doing legal research for the benefit of Disabled Police Officers and Firefighters. I need to say, Mia is letting me use her phone and KZbin account to reach out to you Dr. Jo. My knee had two meniscus tear surgeries as a Firefighter, with the second tear occurring shortly after the first surgery as I returned to work too soon but it you speak to any firefighter off on an injury, their goal is to get back to work as soon as possible! Working on the scene of a trauma patient who thrown from the vehicle and upon providing needed medical attention, an unintentional movement of an ambulance medic hooked my ankle with a boot and twisted my knee sideways causing a sharp pain in my knee which was still healing, hence back to the Doc and off work again! So today, I am much older and have a bent knee that need ms your expert help Dr. Jo?

[@AskDoctorJo]

How long has it been that it won't straighten?

It sounds like your closed captions got turned on. You can easily turn them off by clicking the "CC" button at the bottom of the video. If you want to leave them on, you can drag them to another area on the screen, or you can make them transparent. You can even automatically translate them into many different languages.
