How To Protect Your Knees + GIVEAWAY!

[@kazj1728]

At age 30 I asked my wife (Musculoskeletal MD) how to relieve my recent knee pain. She responded “The cure for knee pain is to lose weight.” And I responded “Are you calling me fat?” and she said “Yes.” So I lost my recently acquired 20lbs and problem solved.

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear you were able to get disciplined! Extra weight certainly doesn’t help. Losing weight is very difficult, kudos to you for your accomplishment 😊

I was on a 5yr medicine to prevent reoccurrence of breast cancer! I began having joint issues but tolerated it because I didn’t want breast cancer again. I was done with the medicine 2017, my knees are worse than ever. I’m 75 and the best exercise is in the pool but pools closed many months for Covid .

[@BobandBrad]

So sorry to hear this. Hopefully this helped some

[@joseenoel8093]

I liked the pool too but the chlorine was awful towards the end of the summer and I don't put my head under!

[@leefury7]

I'm 72, run almost daily on the dreadmill at the gym. I take turmeric daily. REALLY helps. Somedays there is a little weakness in my left knee but nothing debilitating. During the summer, I bicycle 20 to 50 miles/day. So staying active, IMHO, is a major help. Also, keeping the weight off is a big help as well. I don't know if genetics plays as much an issue as does activity.

I think your videos are brilliant. Actually compelling viewing. I was obese... Lost weight, I did a lot of barefoot running, running backwards... As well as Burpees.. and BJJ drilling all on wet grass.. that was last winter.. this winter I got lazy and I'm just jogging with shoes on a running track.. I'm feeling worn out.. I've learned so much from you it can give people confidence to face the future.. thank you from Sligo Ireland..

[@wendyrose1599]

Just know how much you two are appreciated. 🤗

The problem for people with arthritis is the compressive force that muscle-building exercises place upon their joints. In conjunction with strengthening they need to use traction, or a tensile force, to relieve the pressure of bone on bone. One way is to attach some heavy ankle weights and dangle their legs over an edge of a table; another is to kneel with one leg onto a firm seat with a small rolled-up towel trapped at the back of the knee, to force open the joint. These methods afford immediate relief to most sufferers..

[@radziahradzi]

Thank you I'll try this! Yes, the catch 22 is, we want to strengthen the muscles around the knees but the strength exercises usually causes pain for arthritis knees

[@carolbenson6524]

So great of you both to educate us on so many topics! Our doctors never tell us anything to keep us healthy and strong. Happy New Year!🎈🎆🎈✨

[@joseenoel8093]

Doc want to x-ray which won't show arthritis anyway and give you anti inflammatory pills which is bad for your heart, do they only work for the pharmaceutical companies and mortuaries?

Knee brace setup

[@robertlogan6379]

May I be bold enough to suggest #6. Tripped and hit my knees. Lots of swelling and limited mobility and range of motion. Was advised to buy a mini skate board. Sit on a chair with bare feet in middle of board. Roll board forward until toes come up, then back under keeping foot flat then return to middle. Do 12 reps 3 to 5 times a day. Could barely manage at first and by end had more range than prior to tirp.

[@clararaimundi551]

I have had to decrease my workout intensity due to my knees! They hurt after working out -need to do shallow squats. Got it. 😉👍

[@BobandBrad]

[@suz4keeps]

Thanks guys, you are so funny. I had some kind of knee event during this last year but it seems to be resolving and your encouragement to trial bending is helping

[@poodlebee0077]

Bob and Brad- thank you so much for your vlogs! I find them very helpful and I enjoy you both! Thank you. Happy Holidays to you and your families! ⛄️

Thanks for watching, happy holidays!

Hello , happy to see you both.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you, happy to see you here as well 😀

[@MrsMarks]

Can you do a video on bad sitting habits? I have a friend that constantly sits with their legs propped up and crossed, stretching the leg muscles and lower back muscles. I think it may also be contributing to hip pain. So many people do not know how to sit in a safe, healthy (ergonomic) manner.

[@leigh2117]

Love you guys! So many pearls of wisdom!

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you!

[@jeffbonifield8981]

Thanks for all of your content! Your side sleeper pillow episode got my right shoulder back on track!😎

[@BobandBrad]

That’s great to hear!

[@everyoneytubes]

Sleep pillow helped me a lot too. Thanks!

[@DOLRED]

Thanks for these tips. I started the chair exercises while watching the last part of your video. Better than just sitting here watching a monitor. My Right Knee acted up again at Thanksgiving and just this week, things are getting back to normal for me. Any degree of squat causes my knees to start talking back (Click and Clack).

[@BobandBrad]

Great job on keeping moving! Such a great idea to start while watching. Keep up the great work !

[@joseenoel8093]

Good advice as always, I think I need protection from my knees, maybe I'll make a million selling little masks which go upon your knee which'll force them to keep their pain to themselves!

[@joseenoel8093]

Oh nice Siamese!

[@rodneymills6477]

I'm 31. I lost 90 pounds over the last 2 years and found a love of weightlifiting. However, I haven't been able to in a year. I thought I had a hernia, so I just went to only cardio, and twice as much. Eventually my NP told me, "Just stop. It's not a hernia, and I don't know what it is, but you have to just stop." After 9 months of diagnostic tests, it turned out to be a hip labral tear. I thought you were supposed to ignore pain if it wasn't intense...

[@jeffbisscrx]

In my youth I used to powerlift and would work up to 475 lbs squats for reps. Now that I'm in my 60s I have no knee problems. So, could you discuss what you've seen with powerlifting patients? What about older people who once powerlifted and would like to do it again, rules? What about younger people who are competitive? I've heard of a lot of injuries that could be avoided in competitive powerlifters that could be avoided that young people should know about.

[@nz-nz]

I have never had knee problems but a few months ago I got something in my foot and I had to twist my leg around to get to my foot. All this constant twisting has left me with a really bad knee….. 🤦‍♀️😥😥😥

[@BobandBrad]

So sorry to hear that ! Hopefully you’ve found some relief from this!

[@nz-nz]

@@BobandBrad some good ideas thanks! Love you guys… your chair exercise helped my shoulder!!!!!!

[@fd_skate]

Good video guys! One thing about the shallow squats. If comfortable (and performed with control) isn't deep squats benificial for you? Isn't it good to build strength through the entire motion? And isn't it good as a mobility exercise as well? I get that shallow squats can be needed if you experiense pain or discomfort going deeper, but do you recommend avoiding deep squats even if they feel good perform? I am myself doing deep squats when standing on a slant board as a way to keep my knees healthy. Should I avoid that? Thanks for the good content guys! 👏🙏

[@jamesianv]

IMO if you can deep squat you should. Im 67 and did 5 x 167lbs last tuesday a PR and my knees never felt better. I was impressed with tighter ligaments. Now to figure out my shoulder thats giving me problems.

[@kathleensanchez4483]

My knees thank you for this information 😄

[@cillyhoney1892]

What do y'all think about hyaluronic acid supplements?

[@mariag.8242]

Remember that height makes a difference in what’s a shallow squat. Our short friend might find squatting to a cushioned chair is shallow but it’s the angle that’s the important guideline, not the chair 😊

[@ellatoler9706]

Lol, the only advantage to having to get up at night for bladder emptying is that it makes you move. It is actually helpful. The pillow squish I have to try.

[@jeffreysmith236]

Having to urinate in the middle of the night indicates a very serious problem. When you are in deep sleep, iirc the pineal gland releases vasopressin which causes every cell to absorb water. Therefore you do not wake up and need to pee. So, you are not getting deep sleep probably due to apnea. The first thing to try is a good elastic strap around your head to keep your mouth shut. Breathe through your nose and your airway will not close. This also reduces anxiety. I went the CPAP route but due to my mouth being wide open it did not work so I got the strap. I quickly realized that with my mouth shut I did not need the CPAP. But I am stuck with a $600 CPAP that they would not buy back.

Hey Bob and Brad. About 5 days ago I sprained my ankle. My ankle doesnt hurt when I walk or move it. It only hurts when I touch it. Should I start rehab exercises or wait till the pain goes away. I was able to walk without pain even just after I sprained it.
