I honestly cannot believe how well this worked for me. My right knee has been sore off and on but nothing ridiculous. I've been upping my mileage and now it's more sore than ever and suddenly a concern. Today I completed a slow 5 mile run and the knee is talking to me (not in a good way). I came home put direct isolated pressure on my quad in different spots as suggested in the vid. My knee pain is gone.. I honestly cannot believe it...I was doubting this would work and now I'm slightly embarrased by my ignorance,, thank you so much for this vid!

[@realrichloen]

Great advice Coach Nate!! Thanks a bunch 🙏🏽

[@bozorgmehrbahrami]

I’ve been dealing with weak knees since I was 7years old. Your video helped me run pain free for the first time in years. When I applied the pressure the way you demonstrated it the pain was unbearable, but after a few days it became better and now it’s much better. Thank you man

[@dontmatterbecause1009]

How old are you

[@Kelly_Ben]

I'll have to try this! I get occasional aches in my knee, with a history of an overuse injury.

[@nromagnola]

I’ve been dealing with knee issues for months now and I used this trick and it’s AMAZING! I had incredible releases in my quad and my knee felt instantly better! Thanks, coach Nate!

[@TheRunExperience]

Always love a happy customer. Keep it up 🙌🙌

[@rachealkayuma4887]

You tried all these knee exercises?

[@garychapin448]

Thank you! Is there a benefit to using to using a vibrating machine instead of a kettle bell to relax quadricep muscles?

[@mikezen99]

Great tip Coach Nate! So happy to see Nora 😃

[@DipBuyer83]

Amazing thanks!!

[@zenabby5540]

It worked! Amazing 😃 although think I need to do more as still a niggling bit of pain but I’m impressed, thanks so much 😊

[@larryphotography]

This video saved my running! I've been suffering from knee pain that only starts a good few minutes into my run, but stopped me from running for more than five minutes before the pain was too much. Now I massage my quads and calves for a few minutes before I run, use the percussion massage gun, a few dynamic stretches and I'm good to go! Thank you!

[@dchang7211]

Thank you for this video! I’m an older man and just started running and got aching knees with occasional knee pop and cracking sound (no pain) last few days. Just tried the 50lb kettlebell on my quads and worked out the big knots. It really is (almost) instant knee pain relief.

[@condesabeatriz9303]

Good info! Thanks!

[@garyknight8616]

Good luck with the run. This constant pressure technique works well on the lumbar spine although you'll need someone to apply the pressure. And check with a physio if you're not sure!

[@TimelapseWTO]

i have to run a race tomorrow and I cant miss it so this is really helpful

[@camowens2]

Brilliant. Thanks!

[@mostlyrunchat6132]

That worked a treat, thanks a lot

[@SonOfAKing921]

This honestly is a lifesaver. I am a new runner and you are correct it was almost an instant relief. I used the roller and held it in place like you said but then I proceeded to do a very slow roll up and then back down. The pain was crazy while doing this but when I stood up I felt so much better. I feel fine, but should I still rest? or am I good to go back out there the next day?

[@N8IRun]

Nice Video Coach Nate!

[@glorysparks1832]

Good Luck in your race tomorrow Coach Nate and God Bless you.

[@fazlbuchari3236]

Genius!!!

[@Diagon_Alli07]

Thanks for this video I found your channel this week and am so happy! Because I am a super beginner and want to get back to learn to run far (was sprinter in middle school track) excited to learn more from your channel! You guys deserved my follow!! KEEP UP THE CONTENT! Question: sorry if you have video on this and I missed it again super new havent watched every video yet sadly. When it comes to knees..any advice on if knee makes popping/cracking noise when you extend it after sitting etc.. anything to help this..cam/should I still do my light training (just started doing couch to 5k program) ANY ADVICE FROM ANYONE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED😊

[@TheRunExperience]

Hi Alli and welcome! First of all if you haven’t downloaded our training app you should. There’s a link in the description. Lots of great training and workouts to follow. Usually that cracking and popping is the sound of tendons sliding over bone and knee caps which is really a sign of some tight quads. This release technique will work in addition to regular foam rolling. Keep it up!

[@richardedward123]

Excellent topic. Thank you. 👍👍 For my occasional knee pain - I focus on my hamstrings. Windmills especially help. Pain gone.

[@TheRunExperience]

Yup, taking tension out of those hammies can certainly help a lot too!

[@owenmcgh]

Been struggling with a lingering patellofemoral injury for too long. Going to try this. Thanks! Good luck for your race!

[@kevinmadru18]

Same here. Where and what does it feel like?

[@runnersfamily3368]

Love from runners family❤❤❤🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@joedyer4891]

What the…….I’ve been using the rollers, hot and cold, stretching, even the TENS unit…I did this at my desk at work for 5 minutes and was blown away. This is no joke, this works if you’ve got knee pain that’s not joint related.

[@asoro_1632]

I have a terrible knee pain after i run longer runs like 12km+ my legs are stiff, usualy this pain is no more after 2 days or less. I will try this and give you my feedback, i hope it will work.

[@robertrasband8235]

Where do I find the Daily Run app that is mentioned???

[@jeancater1388]

Perfect timing! Two achy knees. Love your dog.♥️

[@TheRunExperience]

Sorry to hear about those knees. Let's get them un-achy. and thank you!

[@Rohilla313]

Luckily I have a 50lb Kettlebell. I’m using it before a run. 🙏 really appreciate the info.

[@iriswellen]

I hardly ever comment, but I had to do it now! In all my years of running I have never had an injury. A few days ago, two weeks before a race in my hometown, my knee started hurting. I tried everything but nothing relieved the pain. I was on the verge of a mental breakdown when I found this video. Did it yesterday evening and this morning it felt so much better!! I can finally straighten my leg again without pain. I'm going to do this a few more times over the next few days and then hopefully I can race next week! Thank you very much for this video!!

[@TheRunExperience]

That is awesome to hear! Let us know how the race goes

[@iriswellen]

@@TheRunExperienceI ran a PB!! 1:14:45 15KM. No knee pain thanks to you guys!! 💪🏼

[@starzgonzales4358]

I injured my right knee in a basketball game, now I cant jog Koz of knee pain, going down the stairs is painful too. Will these methods in your vid alleviate the pain?

[@Just_A1icia]

😮 It worked!!! Thank you! 🙏😭😭😭😭

[@rodneysoto9555]

What breed dog is that? Can it run long distance with you?

[@maxturgeon89]

That's great advice, it almost sounded like you were describing my knots (I often have one at the same place in my right quad)! About 18 months ago, my knee pain got so bad that I couldn't run on it at all, and my PT came to the same conclusion as here: no structural damage but tight quads pulling on tendons in the knee. Now I regularly stretch and foam roll, but he also helped me improve my glute strength and my running form. I haven't had the same level of knee pain since then.

[@TheRunExperience]

Glad to hear it Maxime. That is one of the common patterns of dysfunction we all deal with. Keep up w the good work!!

[@brittanyperdigao3988]

Can this feel like the ligaments?

[@mikey-mo]

I'm a big guy. I've been walking and jogging about 5 times a week for the past few and I hit the "oh fuck I did too much point." I don't want to miss on the cardio so this is helping to get me there.

[@tsubakichan]

Go get it tomorrow, Coach Nate! And have fun with it too!

[@fa8280]

Wow, i can’t believe how much this works.

[@CrystaLink10]

What the heck its actually really effective

[@Quenaelin]

I have knee pain problem when started my daily bicycle commuting after being two months sick in covid, foam rolling and massage gives only temporary help, but not releasing knee pain completely, my muscles are just too tight from training after long break, I have to put more pressure to release them, good advice.

[@TheRunExperience]

Personally, I would back off a little. You were sick for 2 months. Your body just isn't ready to take on the same load as you were doing prior to getting sick. Try backing off by about 30% first and if that helps great! If not, try backing off a little more to find relief.

[@Quenaelin]

@TheRunExperience That must be reason I got knee pain in the first place, I started too quickly and tried to get same fitness level as before too fast. Thanks for your advice, I will not do daily biking unless knee pain is gone.

[@millemaolchannel8608]

I have the same issue in my right knee, it’s my medial meniscus

Get on it!

[@harshh2604]

Hey i wanna ask something .....

[@randomastheday1306]

After a year of not running as I used too, I'm back at building miles, but my ankles are weak. Never had a problem before. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@paddywiggle]

Run barefoot in sand or on grass. Trail running will also strengthen your ankles, just take it easy and don’t twist it

[@TheRunExperience]

First of all good for you for getting back into it and building some momentum. I like to answer this question less on any specific exercise and more on the allotted time you're spending on your strength weekly. 2 days per week of 30 min or less sessions makes a big difference. We have great videos on the channel on foot and ankle strength to get started. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ_dZ556isycqMU

[@Kelly_Ben]

I bought a Wobble Cushion off Amazon, it's like a big air filled Frisbee. You can do all sorts of fun stability exercises on it- even just standing on it helps build foot and ankle strength.

[@randomastheday1306]

@@Kelly_Ben thanks, I'll look into it.

[@DanRuns]

I hurt my knee during my recent 50 miler and used an arm sleeve to support it and ease discomfort

[@TheRunExperience]

50 miles is a lot, and good for you for doing it. All that hard work takes an equally important focus on your recovery and mobility work. Sounds like it's time to get a mobility move on!

[@rtb1487]

Holy crap this works! I haven't been able to squat without pain for over a month and now after a few minutes with my cheap Wal-Mart 35 pound kettlebell I can squat again!

[@Matt-iy2cf]

What does that have to do with your knee pain? The knee pain is mostly joint/tendin pain

[@TheRunExperience]

The joint/tendon pain isn't exactly caused by the joint itself. In runners, it's found to be a combonation of tight muscles that are connected to the tendons that insert at the knee joint. This creates friction in the joint and tissues around the joint. If you free up those tissues in the quads, hamstrings, and even the shins and calves, you could find relief because the tendons will no longer have that tension on them.

[@Matt-iy2cf]

but if there is not tension the joint will be loose and that's not a good thing either...@@TheRunExperience

[@yndiramartinez375]

Good luck tomorrow!!!

[@phillippearce9680]

[@wavetime3651]

Started running six months ago and I would get occassional knee pain after runs. I put pressure on my left quad with a 30 lb DB I had and immediately felt improvement. Wtf is this sorcery.

[@koDiacc]

the concept of trigger points and "knots" was never based by research and is outdated.

[@koDiacc]

funny how you said its not foam rolling in the intro and then did some "manual" therapy ;(

[@oldman9154]

Okay nate went to Dr I have now call Meralgia paresthetic.so my running days are on hold and arithris in back.get health will kill you .lol

[@michael4250]

Sure...rub that bone-on-bone contact with exercise so the inflamation incrases with the friction of contact. That increased inflamation is so helpful in slowing down the arthritic porogress, isn't it?

Does anyone else have a huge crush on Coach Nate? 🙈😄
