OMG! Why did my doc not tell me this! WHY! I watched your video, got up, went downstairs to do the massage and was virtually pain free in 10 minutes when I was suffering for weeks!!! I’m stunned. Boy is she going to hear from me!! I have really suffered. She just saying take a pill, take another pill! 😮😮😮. I’m 67, fit, female.

[@reneepanagos-felice2684]

My knee has been hurting sooooo bad, and I stumbled across this video, praise God. I started to massage like he instructed, and 80% of the pain immediately went away.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Holly, sorry to hear that your knee was hurting, but we are glad that most of the pain has gone away!!

[@kcs529]

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).

[@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-

[@willekefarrington3020]

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.

[@hopegoldsmith5159]

[@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.

[@kathleenbell218]

Wow!! I have been doing stretching for two weeks and haven’t gotten much improvement. I tried this yesterday and could sleep all night and this morning I am not in as much pain when walking. Thanks so much!

[@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.

Sweet havens! It litteratly took me 1 minute of just massaging a sore spot on the upper half of the satorius muscle to get instant relief from my symptoms. And I ran 10 km on it (sore since soccer practice 2 weeks ago) yesterday! Been worried about an upcoming half marathon next Friday but now I feel pretty confident.

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.

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.

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.

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

[@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.

Hi Cher, We are so sorry that you are experiencing inner knee pain. We have added a few more links for you below as well: “Inner knee pain: Why does the inside of my knee hurt? [5 Common Causes]” Chapter on Saphenous Nerve kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnzcoYmhgbl0p9U "Inner Knee Pain Help" kzbin.info/aero/PLJVIPiFvv1ma8eg9DwBsl5IRgnLdKCcHs Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not. We hope this helps! Please keep us posted on your progress 🧡

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thanks very much. I have watched the additional videos. I'll keep up with the exercises for the next few weeks and hopefully get rid of the pain.

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.

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. Here is a link to that video if you are interested in learning more: “How To Fix Inner Knee Pain In 2 Minutes” kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXevnohqj62MjJY

I never seem to feel any “hard knots” when doing the self massage, but I do feel some sensitive spots, so I work on those.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey, @floxendoodle942 sometimes Pes Anserine Bursitis can be mistaken for saphenous nerve irritation. For this reason you might want to check out this video: “Inner Knee Pain From The Saphenous Nerve - How To Find And Treat It” kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHqXnYGIjt6Kn5o

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

[@pault477]

What about the outside of the knee is about the same spot.

Hey Paul, we've got those videos on the list to be produced later :-)

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?

[@BandGalaxy]

I do have this, but the pain continues down into my calf & inside the tibia. I've got a spot in the middle of the calf that extremely tender. Thoughts?

[@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.

[@stevenrobinett6994]

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?
