How to Quickly Lubricate a Stiff Knee

Dr. Rowe shows exercises that can help improve synovial fluid flow around the knee.
If you're unfamiliar with synovial fluid, it's a thick liquid that surrounds the knee that acts as a lubricant, allowing for smooth movement.
Conditions, such as knee arthritis, can disrupt the flow of synovial fluid leading to aches, stiffness, and pain.
These exercises are going to focus on quickly improving circulation of synovial fluid. Each exercise works a little differently. To get the best results, go through all the exercises and use what gives you the most relief.
Watch now and quickly lubricate a stiff knee for instant pain relief!

Hello dear doctor. Please make a video on how to remove knee pain (synovitis) without pumping fluid out of the knee with a syringe. Is there an alternative to puncture?! Sorry for my English. Best regards - Svetlana.❤

Good morning, Doctor Rowe! I kneed this! 😀

[@DrRowe]

😂 (have a good morning too!)

[@curiouscat3384]

This is excellent! It really works. I've been learning these things for several years and try to practice the synovial fluid swinging every time I think about it, sitting watching tv, standing in the kitchen alternating legs, or getting out of bed in the morning. Shake it out :) You mentioned core strengthening and I'll ad that is key to preventing more knee pain. I'm very conscious of how I use my thighs, abs and especially butt muscles, for standing, walking, climbing stairs. As soon as I feel my knee tightening up, I clench my glutes and activate my calf and thigh muscles.

[@redwave894]

Thank you so much . I have two bad knees , right one is bone on bone but I have been doing your exercises for about three weeks now and I can really see the difference. I’m not in pain as much and the fluid build up and stiffness is better . I can walk a lot better without hurting . I’m 77 and getting back to being active again . God bless !

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for watching and sharing!

[@menaciajones7923]

These are great exercises and you demonstrate them very well! One thing I would recommend is you point out during the squat that you never want your knees to go past your toes. You demonstrate the exercise correctly, but when you are doing it yourself, you may not notice your posture and if your knees are going past your toes.

[@PFG62]

Subbed and Thanks for all your tips.. I have been going through sciatica hell the last few days. Of all the dozens of YT vids I have watched , your advice has been the most helpful. Took me 2 days to get to my computer desk and actually sit in a chair without screaming in pain. The meds help , but I want to work on the root problems so the chance of recurring is reduced. Been through this last year also , and blew L4,5,6, about 7 years ago. The ability to walk is EVERYTHING . Thanks Doc. Pete

[@DrRowe]

Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for the sub!

My knee has become so stiff though a recent injury this helped so much!!

[@DrRowe]

Glad it helped!

[@melsgh]

Dr Rowe, thank you for the illustration and for helping me! I was stuck in slow traffic for 2 hours and went to a shop and squad to look at something. Soon I was not able to get up and needed help. After that, my left knee got very tight. I came across your video and did the swinging stretches for some time. The next day the tightness left my knee. I was then able to walk for my short holiday. I do have now bone to bone pain and try your exercise using a rolled tower. Found some slight relief and ill continue to work on both knees. Should I wear knee guard?

[@zhd6438]

You are an Amazing ANGEL ❤ I have had upper back advanced problems due to poor posture and bad habits as I work from home on my laptop and I move very little just around the house which caused me a serious upper back spine and nerves issues I could not sleep anymore as I feel like my back is burning and can hardly turn from one side to the other while sleeping the inflammation wakes me up and ultimately I don't sleep! I have been following your videos for about two weeks now and I feel a bit of relief ! Thank you so much for sharing those Would you be able to share some exercise we can do to strengthen the upper back muscles,please? Thank you!

[@reverendfawkes6138]

Great vid! Your content is very enjoyable and easy to follow along with! Quick question - When I sit, I typically put my left foot under my right knee and let my right foot dangle. Up until about a year ago, this didn't cause any problems, but lately, if I sit like that for more than fifteen minutes, my left knee locks up and causes blinding pain when I unfold the left leg. Will these exercises help with that, or do you have a different recommendation?

[@deongillespie6847]

I sing your praises everywhere I go. I never had any knee issues till I took a fall after doing yoga in the dark, and not realizing my foam roller was under my foot when I stood up. My lifelong issue is scoliosis, which is a chronic pain situation. I really can’t remember not being in pain, even through dance and drill team days many, many years ago. Is that pain and subsequent arthritis a type of pain that can be minimized?

[@shamsunnisadossal4392]

This knee bend exercises ,Is good for patellofemoral arthrosis or not ?

How often are we supposed to do these exercises? Once a day? 3x a day? Per week? Thanks 🙏

[@falakgilani6448]

Hi, what can i do for a meniscus tear that came with lcl, acl and pcl injuries? I have been bedridden for 3 weeks on the doctor's recommendation and my knee's been pretty much motionless throughout this time, but it's still unhealed, a little painful and swollen, and getting stiff. How can i start moving it slowly and encourage it to heal after three weeks of no motion?

[@gdubya83]

2008 i had a broken femur in a motorcycle crash because of a hit and run car driver. Recovery went well but there are maybe two times a year the knee needs stretching. Like a standing heel to butt kick like military calls it. There is one pin on the inner side and two on the outside. The inside always has a minor but painless movement but not a pop. Someone did say it could be removed. Anyway great videos, Doc

[@l3138]

How could it be removed? I have a sort of pop. MRI didn't show any proper reason

[@likkeaaaabawss]

Hey @drrowe does this work for knee arthritis? My grandma has pain in her knees and MRI image shows that there is friction in the knee bones due to loss of cartilage I assume, and I want any exercise to help her so would this kind of exercise work?

[@LeviteSpiritShine]

❤

[@thinkhine8866]

This latest exercise is the more muscle good and the more bone good ,right ?

[@latoncangelose1250]

What about Rheumatoid arthritis that attacks the synovial fluid can you help us there please?😢😢😢 1:46

My right knee isswollen which exercise is suitable for me

[@torriesmom1]

What if there is no synovial fluid because of knee replacement? Do similar motions or movements?

[@miajuggler12]

Is this safe for those over 85 and had a knee replacement?

[@flameguy3416]

Hey Dr what are your thoughts on knee replacements? Is it a last resort sort of thing or is it advised to do if you're feeling alot of pain everyday.

[@DrRowe]

Personally, I view them as a last option if everything else has failed (i.e. physical therapy).

[@curiouscat3384]

I've heard other chiropractors say if you can still walk that means it's not "bone-on-bone" pain and is treatable.

[@MoonBeamLight]

Try looking into PRP first. It can really help coupled with physical therapy. Surgery should always be last resort.

[@ROCKLEEAC]

Tore my ACL and Meniscus about a year ago and went through surgery. Its now at the point where i dont feel stiffness as much but once in awhile itll happen. Any other exercise/practices you recommend for knee injuries like this or arthritis in the knee?
