Nice legs Brad 😁

[@dalebisanti218]

Thank you!

[@SusanDupree]

Hi Brad, I'm watching the recent videos and wondering where is Bob? A new guy is with you now? I liked you 2 demonstrating PT moves.

[@loisgraves67]

What about the back of the kneew

[@CommonSenses101]

Good tips.😊

[@lilylui1]

I love Bob and Brad and been following for years, and now Mike as joined I love listening to him he is a great addition

[@BobandBrad]

That's really nice to hear, thank you for giving such positive feedback!

[@michsf-ix9eg]

So great! My knee pain was so bad I couldn’t go down the stairs. Now I can, if I rotate my foot in! Thank you! Also thanks for quoting Bob and mentioning him as we think about him often, and not saying anything about him feels strange/sad.

[@MakerySmakery]

I’m so sorry to hear what Bob’s going through. All my best to him ❤

[@nochannel6589]

I'm sorry to ask. Is he sick?

[@mmiller1011]

Mike. Loving you! You are doing a great job. We miss Bob, but you are wonderful. Just wanted to encourage you!😊

[@Courage10.18]

I do all these exercises. My knees developed wrong (joint structure and muscle attachment) due to a hip birth defect. In addition to knee exercises I also engage in ankle mobility and hip rotation exercises. Keeping all three joints as fluidly mobile as possible is the key to decreased knee pain, where arthritis is substantial. I want my original joints for as long as possible!

[@BobandBrad]

Good job, keep it up!

[@philipsamways562]

A very sensible approach. Feet, knees, hips, glute and abdominal muscle strength and flexibility all work together. Best wishes

[@writeatease3689]

I like seeing Mike gently swinging his lower legs. It’s amazing how something so simple can be so beneficial to knee mobility. I’m also glad Bob has issues with “Dr House,” everything was Lupus and as a SLE survivor, that show was irritating. Thanks for keeping us updated with the right things to do to improve our quality of life!

[@danarzechula3769]

Haha never mind all the ethical problems😂

[@gailnewcomb8256]

I don’t have knee pain, yet, but I’m practicing the exercises just in case it starts. Thanks for the info, 😁❤

[@theknittedgarden]

I use to have bad knee pain until I found a park with an elevation gain of 300 feet and and set of stairs that goes to the top. Going up and down the stairs made my knee pain go away. Hiking up the trails to the top and avoiding the stairs caused the pain, taking the stairs relieved the pain, most likely because stair climbing builds the right set of muscles.

[@williamwhiteley9359]

Wow! It is EXACTLY using stairs that aggravated my problem! Nothing else than that! What has helped is a pt that showed me to grasp my thigh a couple inches above the knee, while standing, and then grip around the thigh and push it down hard. That was the only thing he taught me but it has helped a lot! There is a version of it on this video, but they show massaging that area. It causes the quad muscle attached to the patella to loosen up, easing the ptessure on the patella. I am seeing more videos that mention strengthening the quad is not a good thing with knee problems and I can see why!

[@fruitplantfairynpups]

This was fantastic! I’ve been working on my glutes! This really helps with my TKR! It is life changing! The pain is still here but focusing on the glutes really helps take the pressure off my Painful knee! 💗🧚‍♀️🌸💫🙏☀️🌈💚🌷👍🏼💃

[@BobandBrad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@creativelady7]

Yes! I, too, have noticed the same thing when I focus on the glutes!😉

[@maribelsouza1995]

This KZbin channel is intensely helpful. Thank you to Brad x Michael

[@BobandBrad]

Glad we could help!

[@janeposter4424]

Thank you so very much for this video! I just found you last week, and am doing the chair exercises to get my lower back and hips (not to mention the knees) working again after I messed everything up moving and carrying heavy boxes up and down stairs. I'm 78 and from Wisconsin, so GO PACK GO!!

[@Wtfdawg321]

What if you’re 44 and your knees are 75?

[@alcg3981]

I was told that strengthening all the leg muscles around the knee can help ease knee pain.

[@BobandBrad]

Yes, it certainly can

[@paradehandmade]

That's exactly what I needed to hear. Exercises to improve the knee cap area. It's just beginning to give me trouble. I didn't know it coukd be improved. Thanks a mill!

[@marybayne4150]

Hi Bob and Brad. I watch you alot. I have a bad knee. Holding of of operation. So try all you all show. You both are a BLESSING. AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO both of you. ❤

[@sharonwalters6135]

I was in pain starting to watch this so I felt irritated, but then I grew to really like you guys and your wacky sense of humor. In fact going up and down the stairs was perfect. Go up to heaven go down to and then you wouldn’t say it oh, I loved it.

[@paulinedodd8671]

Just twisted a very old cruciate replacement. In a lot of pain but will try these gently. Thank you for the help...especially stairs

[@DouglasJMark]

Thanks! Got some great tips. Agreed, House walks incorrectly with his cane. I love toe or forefoot walking especially on hard, irregular pavement, concrete sidewalks, and lawns. Also, it's great for going backwards as my ballroom dance teacher taught us practising for our wedding....over 39 years ago. Lotsa love to all, especially Bob. ❤❤❤

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you

[@cuearesty]

Omg, how timely! My knees are failing me bad, and I'm in my 30s!!!

[@BobandBrad]

we are sorry to hear that, but we are happy we can help!

[@boogiemorgan]

Thanks to both for this video! I have the cartilage gone in both knees and my left hip joint! I went to one specialist and he said the pain I was probably going to need knee replacements! I went to another specialist as a second opinion, and he said it was my hip joint, not my knee, and I needed a hip joint replacement! I'm afraid to go to another specialist, he may say it is my ankle joint! What next?😢

[@Diana-007]

Brad glad to see you and Bob bringing on a “youngster” 😁 to keep the legacy going, Mike has the best teachers, he’s doing a great job, Bob your influence is still there behind the scenes I know it and Brad makes sure of that too, sending hugs and positive vibes your way lovely man. Thank you for this information, especially the standing advice and stairs I’m 8 was post TKR doing ok but still need that extra guidance and reassurance from you guys to supplement my great PT and Consultant. You won’t see this comment as it’s an older video but wishing you guys and everybody out there a very merry Christmas when it comes and best wishes for better knees in 2024 😁 lots of love from a very cold Scotland ❄️🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for the kind words. Happy holidays!

[@anawipazukawaste5378]

It good to have fresh brad in the morning

[@BobandBrad]

Yay!! Great to hear!

[@willothewispl]

Thank you, I have been suffering fir a while, having very painful knees when walking. This seems to help.

[@robinbirdd3]

Brad, is the young guy related to you? Love everything you guy's do for us! Say hi to Bob. 👋😊

[@BobandBrad]

No, Mike is not related to Brad or Bob. He has worked with them for several years in their therapy offices :)

[@bldmyamean8352]

We want Bob back!

[@marycarty5879]

Really,honestly get used to the change and quite whinning.🙄

[@debbiescott2674]

I’ve found hiking poles work well for longer walks if my arthritis is flaring up. Thanks for the advice

[@indriadrayton1132]

I like the stair technique. I go up with knees outward because I'm wing footed.

[@lilygregorash6871]

Hi bob and brad! I don’t know if you’ll see this but I wanted to give you my sincere thanks for making your content available. A few months ago my 90 year old grandma fell, and lost her ability to walk. Using your exercises she’s been able to greatly increase her strength and grow confident in standing on her own. Thanks to you, both she and the whole family has hope that she will walk again, as we go through the (long) process of finding her a physical therapist insurance will cover. You are truly doing God’s work. ❤❤

[@ursulacortez6853]

😊😊

[@kathlynsteinman3599]

You're describing my knees. I can barely walk after P.T. for days. My knees don't extend very far, but they are getting straighter.

[@bettyjohoadley6566]

Thank goodness for these guys. I started having arthritis in my knees this year and it is getting worse. My doctor suggested ibuprofen and arthritis creams. Didn't work for me. So I came to Bob and Brad. The things in this video make sense because it's taking my full weight off the arthritic leg. I tried some of the things in this video--the soft walking with a cane. Oh my gosh, what a relief and I found out I was using the cane incorrectly. Geez!! And I can't wait to try going up stairs. I'm sure I am doing it wrong too. I'm a walker so no problem there. I'm going to try the exercises they suggested too. I want to get rid of this stuff. Thanks guys. You rock!

[@thewhitner1]

What if both knees are bad. Any tips? I have spurs on both knees and I’m 43 years young.

[@BobandBrad]

I will add this to our to do list!

[@diauser3327]

thanks Doc, its not just for over 50, but for someone like me in mid 30s, who is having severe knee pain since many years and daily struggle with stairs etc and commuting around is a nightmare, will definitely try all,

[@toadhall5041]

I had a PT tell me I was walking wrong with the forefoot walking you recommend. She urged the heel strike method. After I went home, I ignored her.

[@gladysperkins4527]

Very informative! Thank you. Stairs are often a challenge for me.

[@feoleb]

I think anytime you guys talk about knee pain you need to talk about kneesovertoes guy. His exercises help so much. Everything you said seems valid to me but also for long term relief I think his exercises are important to be aware of

[@BobandBrad]

We have done videos with him, we do have great respect for his knowledge as well!! Here is a link to all the videos we've done with him: www.youtube.com/@BobandBrad/search?query=knees%20over%20toe

[@barbaras8838]

after watching Bob and Brad for a couple of years, I seem to have appropriated moat stuff - doing the knee extension every morning even before I get out of bed is one, what I have to try is the duck walk up stairs; I am disappointed at myself that I can no longer change feet going down, I have to do it the toddler way - had been hoping to improve but even Mike seems to suggest that may be a no? At the moment, I am experimenting with doing squats in between my long sessions at the desk/computer and it seems to reduce the pain on getting started walking. and I notice how much difference mood makes. - Hardly any pain on a good day! PS my condition is double meniscus tear left and now also right hip osteoarthritis (because of compensating for knee?), both I chose to treat conservatively yrs ago. Will look at your knee program. Thanks - and yes, Mike is not as shrill as he used to be. Thanks all around. 😊😊

[@v_ChimChim_x]

13:05 Rotating my foot outwards really helped me out. I'm able to do squats pain free now by rotating the foot outwards. I'm only 30 but both of my knees are popping and creaking like a rusty door hinge. And when I bend to about 30 degrees, I feel the strength just vanishing from my legs, and if I keep going it becomes painful. So doing squats was out of the question. Well until now. I just managed to do 4 sets of 20 squats pain free by rotating the foot outwards. Both knees were still popping and creaking, but at least there were no pain. Brad and Mike, do you guys have any ideas as to why they are creaking, and what I can do about it? And lastly, thanks for the video, that rotating of the foot really did the trick!

[@outdoorsummiteer399]

After 2 knee surgery s, always had pain, now nothing whats so ever to me there is 2 exercises that will cure it. 1, is walking backwards on a treadmill. 2, try sitting your arse on to your heels in a kneeling down position be patient with this takes time 3x a day, trust me it works

[@maryvought9244]

You guys are great! Thank you!❤

[@BobandBrad]

Great thank you!

[@karenhughes636]

Thanks for the exercises. They are very enlightening and I believe I will get some pain relief from these! Body mechanics are the most important. Thanks Guys!

[@BobandBrad]

You're so welcome!

[@helen677]

I’m so fed up with my right knee. I’ll defo try these and hope it helps me. Thanks guys. 😊

[@edwardwiebe8080]

Thanks Bob and Brad .

[@bumpercoach]

you can rappel downstairs by using the rail as the "rope" and even take 2-3 steps at a time descending in reverse like a cliff

[@bumpercoach]

you can use the forefoot method to make stair descent easier especially using your heel to brace on the riser

[@annekesalter669]

I started doing the parkwalk on my old days 😂 and now my knee is very painful i will definitely try this

[@tpotts4]

I’ve been going up my basement steps backwards(very slowly and carefully😬)It has helped to strengthen different muscles I think and alleviates my knee pain. My pain is usually felt when I am going down steep hills and stairs after I go on intense hikes or walks.

[@bocla6163]

I have found that I need to put my heel down first and push through my whole foot, including all the toes, because that lessens my foot and leg pain. I guess I need to use those muscles.

[@staciewilsonmumpower6986]

I really needed this. Thank you!

[@shelahbhajan6136]

[@sialee5926]

Also, when you walk, point your toes, slightly outward, instead of straight ahead,,

The odd thing with my knees is that I get random pains that are really just annoying. But, starting just about a year and a half ago (shortly before my Parkinson's diagnosis), my left knee started randomly buckling and causing me to nearly fall or sometimes to actually fall. So, I carry a cane a lot of the time but there are times that I can go months without it. It makes no sense to me. Right now, I am in a period of having to carry it whenever I'm out and about.

[@BobandBrad]

Sorry to hear that, that does sound irritating not knowing when it's going to act up. Take Care!

[@debbiemabrey9240]

My knee pain is totally random. It got really bad 3 days after a recent surgery ( not related to my knee). After taking Tylenol and Meloxicam and Voltaren cream, It seems better. x-ray showed no issues. I have an appointment with my PCP tomorrow.

My knee aches all the time, and i can not bend it without pain. I can't touch my heel to my butt without pain in my knee. I did the mobilization of the patella. It moves in all directions without pain, but when I move it front to back, I feel grinding. What cauees that?

Sometimes cramps are due to mineral deficiency and other factors. It's good to rule out.

Tonic water. One cup of it can instantly stop cramps. If happening daily, drinking one cup at bedtime can prevent them.

I walk down stairs backward. It's much easier on my knees. You just have to be careful and hold the railing.

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

I do not ever remember my patella (knee cap) being loose at all... in all of my life since I was age 5 or so.... And I use my cane on my bad side, whenever I walk the pups... it is there to prevent the pups from pulling me too hard the wrong way more than to support my bad knee. You need the cane to prevent them from pulling your weight onto that knee, as they rush from side to side checking the smells.... and starting to chase SQUIRRELS!!!! or MEOWSWERS!!!
