Dr. DAVID I am following you from London UK. I was diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis a year ago. I had 5 sessions with a physiotherapist without any relieve then followed a physio on You Tube until I stumbled on your videos about 3 months ago. I found your videos informative and entertaining and your charisma inspiring! I have been doing your glute exercises religiously and am delighted to report that the certainly work. I am now able to isolate and engagemy glutes doing the glute exercises , both standing and in the lying position AND walking ( that was a tremendous video). You were correct when walking you have to concentrate. In 3 months I am now pain free and consider it fortuitous to have 'discovered' you. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your emphasis on the importance strengthening the glutes. It certainly helped me big time. With gratitude, Susan

I’m 36 y.o suffering from knees pain , visited 3 different orthopedics doctors 4 X-ray done , 2 mri for left knees and lower pain , took more than 400 non steroidal drugs pain killers and anti inflammatory pills ,20 physiotherapy Ift , then decided to get my own ems machine and still suffering from knees pain but so far no one advised me to focus on my glutes whereas I was strengthening my quads and hamstrings all the time , finally someone explaining my situation which is my glutes are weak and the way I walk (always focusing on my thighs) is the reason behind my knees pain , I’m working on activating my glutes and again this is my second day and somehow I believe this is way I’ll heal and treat my knees problems thank you doctor for sharing this

[@pjj.5649]

UPDATE: Dr. David, I thank you and my knees thank you. I have been doing the glute exercises daily for about 1.5 months and I am now pain free in my knees! Besides starting my exercises in bed as soon as I wake up, I also have become very conscious of doing them throughout the day.: waiting for an elevator, to cross the street, waiting at the bus stop even from stop-to-stop on the subway. I am loosing that hesitation to go up the steps or stepping off the curb in expectation of pain. Going up/down a flight of stairs is relaxed and calm. I want to strengthen my trunk more and that will come in time. Rigtht now, I am basking in no more knee pain, that's the holy grail right there!!!! Thank you again and again!!!

[@philipsamways562]

Hi. Keep positive I'm in my late70s and have been active all my life. My knee has degenerated since I injured it 10 years ago. I've gone through the typical MRI/ osteo specialist route, but after being told my anterior meniscus is " for the bin", I ignored them, maintained my wholefood vegetarian diet, kept fit on the exercise bike (NOT walking) and keep all my leg muscles strong and balanced. I'm still able to compete and teach ballroom dancing at a fairly high level. So don't go the surgery route until you really have to. An enlightened surgeon once told me that, bad as it may seem, my own joints are better than any artificial ones. BUT, managing your knees will have to become an everyday part of your life. Good luck and best wishes

I went to an orthopedic doctor and he told me come back to him when I need knee surgery. I told him I’m not coming back and my knee will get better. I just have a little pain on the side of my left knee. Since following you and doing the exercises I notice a difference. 🙏

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Christine! We are thrilled to hear that you're feeling better after giving our exercises a try and that you notice the difference. Unfortunately, it is common that a lot of orthopedic doctors will push the idea of surgery because they simply are not aware or lack knowledge about how to fix the root issue that contributed to a knee issue in the first place. Here are some additional resources that you might find helpful: “Top 6 Standing Glute Exercises To Help Knee Pain” kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHWaeoV4m69go68 “3 Big Reasons Your Glute Muscles Won’t Work Well For You” kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipLQiaKopt12d80 One thing to consider is that at El Paso Manual Physical Therapy we specialize in helping people avoid unnecessary injections & surgery while traditional physical therapy tends to focus on healing post-surgery. Because of this, the information we provide will be different from traditional physical therapy advice. It's important to note that Dr. David's methods are specialized and not currently considered traditional or commonly practiced within the field. As a result, some other physical therapists may have differing opinions and may not subscribe to these approaches. We wish you the best on the road to recovery! 🙌

I have been told that both my left knee and left hip have "a lot of arthritis and I need joint replacements" from my ortho M.D. My pain level when I saw him was a 2/10. For the last 8 weeks I have been doing your exercises for the hip arthritis since the dr. said I should have the hip replaced first. I have found that after doing the exercises for over 6 weeks, my knee has no pain and the groin stiffness has lessened. I give you so much credit for being such a giving Dr. with your advice for people who (unfortunately) can't see you in person. So many ortho "surgeons" just have one advice-get joint replacements. I hope you are blessed many times over for your helpful advice.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was diagnosed with bone on bone about 10 years ago and advised to have double knee replacement or get a cane . I refused the surgery and they offered a short rehab.

If I’m one of those people that don’t have butt muscles. I have a popping snapping in my knee and it goes all the way up to my hip and now my back hip knee something hurts really bad I think all three and I watch you all the every day. Thank you so much.

[@hannahevans8193]

I love this. I needed to hear this I had bilateral patella tendon repair surgery 2 years ago after I ruptured both patellas from a fall from a window. You broke this down way better than my surgeon, my physical therapists, and trainer. They never listened to my concerns because i have recently been having knee discomfort after nearly 3 years of being pain free. They just insisted that I work my quads more to fix my knees. I definitely appreciate this. This has changed everything for me.

[@stewartcameron3699]

Dear David,almost 1 yr. ago I had a TKR .Do to a tibia fracture which occurred during the tkr, my rehab was delayed by one month due to restricted weight bearing . After 3 months of phyiso exercises, working hard. Unable to get away from the same persistent pain(inside lower corner) the physio instructor recommended I eased up a bit on my exercises.😂 . So I searched KZbin for help, because I had hit a wall,referring to my pain. Your first exercise, toe turned in, pulling foot from straight to up under my knee, was fantastic, just what I need. The next day I knew I was on the right track. Working on all your recommend exercises now, always keeping in mind tightening my glute muscles has taught me thatIhaveweakness in my glutes. I feel our thankful for your help, I share and will keep sharing to anyone who could use your help. Your the best. Thanks again, Manitoba Canada Canada 🇨🇦.

[@dorothyosaki7130]

I started with sciatic pain, then pain in my left inner hip, then pain in both knees. I have been strengthening my quads with little relief. After finding your channel, I know I need to strengthen by glutes. Thank you for your videos which have helped me do much. They do not cause further flare ups and are easy for me to do with little pain. If I encounter pain, I know to back off and rest. I have learned do much from watching your channel. You are the best!

Hi Dr. I really appreciate you posting these videos it really has given me so much knowledge I really appreciate more than you know! My doctor or physiotherapist wants me to do straight leg lifts, Quad arcs and hamstring stretching. Well needless to say I have been doing that and I feel like I am top-heavy meaning it feels like I’m coming forward when I walk because my hip flexors are so strong and my butt is not, I feel like it’s putting more pressure on my joints. Which makes perfect sense as to what you are saying to get your butt muscles firing it’s just total common sense and I really wish more doctors would understand this and do your approach which instead of pushing through pain etc. etc. sorry this post was a little bit all over the place, I am in the middle of trying to fix my phone.
