Hello from The Netherlands. I followed your instruction for the massaging of the upper leg where the 3 muscles are. My hands are not as strong as those of a fysio therapist, so I used my silicon cup. Also added some drops of essential oils (rosemary, lavender, helicrysum) to the basic massage oil (almond). Massaged my upper leg 3 times yesterday with very good result. It felt like the pressure was released of the “goose foot”. Had a good night's sleep as well. My first problems started more than a year ago. Going out for a stroll during lock down, wearing my Uggs (proper walking boots in the closet). The walk becoming longer than a stroll. Long story short, after fysio, taping etc. it flared up again last week. Terrific autumn weather here so I over did it with walking (on proper boots). I have been resting (weather helps, it’s raining buckets), checked some video's again on taping and came across this one. On my neighbour's question if I have consulted the fysio therapist, I told them I did. The one in El Paso, Texas 😊. By the way, I'm 74. Greetings.

[@civcinfo]

I fixed mine by resetting the knee. Roll up a thick towel and placed it right in the knee joint then pull in from your ankle (trying to squeeze the towel) to open up the knee joint. 1 year worth of pain instantly gone as it opened up within seconds. Stay off it for a few weeks then slowly strengthen it in the new position. HTH

I’m 41, and this is exactly what’s been keeping me up at night the last 4 days. I did the self massage, stood up and could bend my knee. I’m going to keep doing these things and see how I feel before I go see a knee specialist. I also have bilateral hip bursitis that feels like it’s flared up too (playing basketball with my kid, work as a nurse, and doing yoga 3x a week).

[@kasienolan3404]

I’m a runner (for 40+ years) and hiker. I injured my knee in January running downhill. The MRI from early April showed lots of things that seemed to impact each other (Hoffa’s fat pad swelling, plica, thinning of cartilage, bone bruise, patella Alta but not severe). After seeing a few “knee experts” over the past 6 months, I’m still trying to get relief ( I’ve had a cortisone injection into the knee joint, followed by PT, and then eufflexa injections.) At present, the pain still seems to wrap around the inside of my knee, and I sometimes get sharp pain under my kneecap. The surgeon I saw last week said it was actually the pes anserine bursa plus the cartilage thinning that were the issues. He also said that many of the exercises the PT gave me were aggravating it. (In fact, after months of overcompensating for my right knee, my left knee developed a baker’s cyst! I wanted to cry.) The surgeon didn’t explain things very well other than to say it wasn’t surgical, and he gave me no rehab ideas other than… don’t walk, don’t do the pt exercises… and I can try the stationary bike if it doesn’t hurt. He gave me an injection into the pes anserine bursa and scheduled an appointment for late August to follow up. I’ve been researching this to try to understand what’s going on. That’s when I came across your videos and watched pretty much everything you’ve done that is knee related. All the things you said not to do were things that some of my drs and PT had been telling me to do early on in this process (walking for exercise, squats to strengthen quads, stairs with hand weights), and their advice has clearly prevented my injury from resolving. I guess one big question I have is that will the exercises mentioned in the videos for bakers cyst, thinning cartilage, and pes anserine bursitis work together since I have all of those issues? (For example, I don’t want to do something like tailgate swings for the cyst and the cartilage if it will irritate the pes anserine bursa.) sorry, that was a lot! I just want to say thank you for doing these videos. Your explanations make so much sense, and I can now understand how I’ve gotten to this point through overuse, muscle imbalances, and the PT exercises that probably helped some things but really ramped up the intensity of other injuries.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Kasie, sorry to hear about your knee situation :-( To answer your big question, YES!!! The exercises should work together as they are focused on getting your glutes stronger. In fact, pes anserine bursitis, knee cartilage injuries and Baker's Cysts are all rooted in a muscle imbalance involving weak glutes.

[@andreeas6251]

This is very educational, cannot thank you enough. These exact exercises were given to me by my physical therapist years ago when I had this knee pain issue. You are amazing, you saved me from going back and spending more time and money on PT. Cannot thank you enough!!! God bless you-

[@donnakoontz5701]

I’m dealing with this bursitis right now and have been basically incapacitated by it. I saw the doctor a week ago and she gave me steroid pills and ordered PT. In the meantime, I’ve been in tears with pain! PT in my area is booked for the next month. I can’t live like this. I can hardly walk and I’m using a cane. My son moved in to help me since I live alone. I’m 64 but active normally. Healthy, on no medications. I found your video. I’m going to try this regimen for the next two days and will report back!

[@liampinney]

How did you get on?

[@donnakoontz5701]

@ Thank you for asking! I did this regimen, slowly at first because of the pain. The therapist at PT also gave me similar exercises and stretches. I massaged my muscles in my leg because they would tighten up so bad. Then I would apply heat to the muscles and ice pack to the bursa site. The ice really helped with the pain. Ibuprofen helped a lot. Tylenol didn’t help at all. It took 8 weeks to get back to a normal routine, but I still am very careful with stairs and use a cane if walking long distances. I hope my comments help someone else going through this painful problem.

I have such sore knees I can hardly walk. I think the tight thigh muscles are pulling up the knee caps and causing them to catch. I can feel knots in my thigh muscles but thought it was my imagination. If these exercises work on the pain it will be a miracle! I’ve been in increasing pain for more than 2 years. The exercises are the same as my physio gave me but they weren’t helping while I’m in pain. So happy I found this! I’m praying it works. Thank you for this advice. 62 yr ‘want to be active’ female.

Hey iChefTheImpossible, We're so sorry you hare dealing with the pain in your knee when doing the bridges! Usually if you are feeling it your knee you may be going too high and stretching the quad and the pelvis. This can compress the knee. Keep the lift low for now and focus on the glutes when performing the exercise. Do not push through it If you are still feeling pain after making the adjustment. We hope you feel some relief soon. Please keep us updated on your progress!

Massage to the hamstring may help provide temporary relief. In the long-term, you need to fix the underlying muscle imbalance in the hip and knee area. Our 28 Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program is truly the best fit for this. It is a comprehensive exercise program for knee problems. It's a 100% online and on-demand program for improving knee health. It's packed with exercises, advice and coaching from Dr. David.

Dr David…I’m a huge fan! I’m almost 75 and have concluded from watching this video that I have bursitis in both knees. Not sure how this happened except from being too aggressive with a roller bar. My hands/fingers are weak and getting arthritic which makes it difficult to do the self massage. Once I can get rid of some of inflammation, would it be ok to do the massage with the roller bar gently? Another question. In about 2 weeks I will be taking a long car trip. It will take a 14 hours. If I’m still dealing with the bursitis, what can I do to help my knees to keep from getting too stiff to walk? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you for doing these videos! Wish you were in IA!

I thought I had pes anserine until I did your test. Now I don't know what it is. Where's your link to the other medial knee pains you mentioned? I can't find it in your description

[@sierrabaker3521]

Is pes anserine bursitis typically accompanied with really tight calves and hamstrings? I have tendon pain and such extreme calf tightness it makes me feel like I can’t bend my knee.

Does using a massage gun in the same areas achieve a similar effect?

[@brorjohansson3013]

Very helpful! Big thanks for this! Is it okay to do the massage with a massage gun if you do it gentle, or better wirh hands? Would love to hear your opinion. Again. Thanks for the straightforward video!!

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Bror! You are very welcome! :-) And yes! Gentle massages are your best option, if you can manage to have your massage gun in a slower setting, you'll be able to reap the benefits without incurring in potential problems. Hope you have a great day! All the best

Any treatment for snapping Pes Syndrome?

[@valentinaheredia9904]

Thank u for this video!! Just 2 weeks after first pain symptoms my pain has gone down a lot with rest and some massages. Should I keep on doing them? It is not flaring up but I’m afraid to return to activity and hurting myself again 😅

[@rmanoppo1251]

ThankU Sir 🙏

[@game-pi1uq]

Thanks for this video....sir should i continue my running with this pain or i need rest and wait till pain free?. Im a beginner as runner. (This pain caused me when i moved from soft surface to a harder surface.)

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey game, great question! Yes you should absolutely stop running until the pain clears up. You've got to make sure to reduce the inflammation. In the mean time work on the treatment from this video.

When having knee flexion, shortening of hamstring, it causes pain on the area of pes anserine bursitis. Is that also a symptom of pes anderine bursitis, or sMCL?

[@JaisriRAM007-a2z]

Started running from 10 days back and boom here I go with this pes anserine bursitis .... How many days does it take to heel ? How can I heel it faster does it have any medication ?? Trying to get into good habits and now this happen is like a pull back

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Vishnu, sorry to hear about your Pes Anserine Bursitis :-( It can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to heal. And that's if you're doing everything correct to heal. It may get delayed to 6 or 12 months if you continue to aggravate it and it doesn't get to heal. There's a usually a muscle imbalance that sets up Pes Anserine Bursitis. The treatment we discuss here in this video is definitely what we recommend. Medication might dull the pain, but it won't take away the root problem. Without treating the root problem, you're likely to have knee pain once you start running again. Our 28 Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program is designed to help you treat the root problem. It's a 100% online and on-demand program for improving knee health. It's packed with exercises, advice and coaching from Dr. David.

These exercises helped my knee pain so much! I'm coming to the realization that i need to strengthen my glutes. I'm a triathlete so i basically have no ass 😅.

I'm going to give this a go as my physio thinks I have this so I have nothing to lose. When doing the clam shell I feel the exercise more on my injured side which is also my weakest side. Is that to be expected?

[@elizabethivey9326]

Would a foam roller work for this?

[@RebinKadir-b4l]

Hi, I have been struggling with patellar bursitis for two years. I got tackled hard on artificial grass which damaged the the whole patella. Everytime I do rehab exercises my knee relapses eventually, what exercise should I implement? Detailed answer would be very appreciated. Thank you!

[@lizdenas]

Could i use a thera gun to do this massage?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Lizdenas! Yes, a theragun would be great to use on the muscles. Just don't use it directly on the knee joint.

[@lizdenas]

Awesome, thanks.

[@CricketNewJersey]

Can I use the massage gun for the massage?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey CricketNewJersey! Yes absolutely, the massage gun is great anytime you need to massage your body!

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thanks so much for your reply!

[@Aviation_Professional]

Does medial pain during terminal extension indicate pes issues or meniscus in your experience? Seems lower than the joint and I can easily palpate the tenderness.... thanks so much for the video

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey there, in our experience the most common cause is for medial knee pain is a tibial shift. We detail it very well in another video and also show exercises to do to help fix it.

I am six weeks post patella fracture but most pain is coming from pes ancerine bursitis which I think I had prior to fall. Is it ok to do these exercises and massage, hurts to walk should I minimise walking? Many thanks

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Carbhandle, i Thank you for sharing your situation with us. We’re sorry to hear that you're dealing with pain from pes anserine bursitis on top of your patella fracture-managing both must be challenging. It is very difficult for us to provide guidance as we do not know the full extent of your injury nor the details of your medical history. It’s important to be cautious with any exercises, especially considering your recent fracture and ongoing bursitis. Generally speaking, gentle exercises and massage can be helpful, but since you're experiencing significant pain, it would be best to proceed with care. You may want to start with lighter exercises and avoid anything that increases your pain. Regarding walking, it’s often a good idea to minimize activities that cause pain, but completely avoiding movement can also lead to stiffness.. It might be helpful to reduce your walking for now and focus on low-impact activities that don’t aggravate your pain but if you have no choice but to walk offloading by using crutches, walker or cane could be beneficial. We hope you find some relief soon. 🙌

[@timothygallagher4663]

is it ok to do these exercises on a bed? or is a firmer surface more desirable?

[@sarahdee3546]

Hi! First off thanks for the video! I am finding relief from the these exercises. I would like to know is this an exercise for the gluteus medius or gluteus maximus - or both?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Sarah, great question! It's not 100% clear on whether you're using more gluteus medius or maximus, but you're likely using both because they overlap in function and space.

[@jordydemeyere5029]

With knots you mean sore spots? How do I know if I find one?

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hi Jordy, great question! Imagine a muscle knot like a small bump or lump in your muscle that feels tense or tight. It's a spot where the muscle seems to be holding onto stress or discomfort. People often use the term "muscle knot" because it feels like a small, knotted area in the muscle. It's like a concentrated point of tension that might cause some discomfort or tightness.

[@zehravigna4873]

I have this pes anserin bursitis for 10 months, I got it while doing "leg press" machine. Althought I do these exercices every single day in a gym class, nothing gets better. I have no hope and I am very sad.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I am confused on one thing : Does the problem come from the imflamation of the Pes Anserine BURSA or from the TENDON (goose foot tendinitis) ? These are completely different things. One concerns of BURSA, the other TENDON. Can you please explain it to me ?
