How to Stop Knee Pain with Bicycling. Stretches, Exercises, & Adjustments,

[@kaylamaxfield3035]

I freaking love you guys. You save me a lot of anxiety with the clear-cut answers and solutions you give me.

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover knee tendon try Mackorny Treat Bones Blueprint (should be on google have a look )? It is an awesome exclusive guide for dealing with chronic knee pain minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got great results with it.

Nice dear mam

[@austinthaijam7009]

thank you for making physical therapy fun

[@gordonmosher7714]

Want to say thanks. My knees were killing me after first 3 days (350 km) into a 2,000 km bike tour. Problem was the maximum I had done prior to the tour was 20 km - so I was overdoing it. As suggested, the solution was two days rest with vigorous (yes, painful) massage of the quadriceps every hour with a rolling stick followed by continuing the tour with a higher pedal rate on a lower gear. Two weeks later, I completed the remaining 1,650 km. Thanks guys!

[@MonicaAlvarez-ls6nc]

Hi! Do you have pain now??

[@thepatternforms859]

your pain was front of knee at patella or the quad muscles???

[@gordonmosher7714]

@@thepatternforms859 The pain that stopped me was at front of knee at the patella. By December (four months after the injury) I could do some light walking pain free. I'm now able to run 1 hour hard every second day.

I’m dealing with knee pain. Left knee, outer left cap. Freaking hurts like a mofo, major discomfort. I’m trying to find the correct fitting. I’ve been riding little over year and as of 2 weeks ago pain starting accruing. I’ve moved my saddle couple time and still the pain happens, but it’s only after about 10 miles into my ride. Help please

[@bartonbrown4172]

Like a lot of people asking questions here, I used to ride (a lot) and run in my ‘30s, then I slacked off because of pain from severe pronation, and even with custom molded orthotics (from chief of orthopedics at Yale-New Haven Hospital), and New Balance anti-pronation training shoes, running is out of the question, but I’ve been trying to get back on the bike. However, I’m now 70, and within the last 3 weeks have had extremely painful pops, first in my right knee, then a few days later, as the right knee started to feel a little better, my LEFT knee popped. I’m now confined to one floor of my house, and I have to walk with a cane. Last week I went to Middlesex Hospital Orthopedics, and they X-rayed both my knees. There is still a little cushioning where the knee joints come together, and I can move both my patellas side to side and up and down a very little bit, but I definitely have osteoarthritis. I’ve gone through the usual NSAIDS and warm support pads, but a contemporary (75 yr old) relative had to get BOTH his knee joints replaced; he was laid up in bed for months, and finally died, a trip I don’t want to take quite yet, and I’m scared. Thanks so much for your videos, and I’ve started doing the exercises you’ve demonstrated that I can with minimal pain, but could you please tell me what you think about “prolozone therapy”? Is it a bunch of baloney, or does it really offer a shorter way to relief? The more relief I can get, the more mostly pain-free exercise I can do, but I’m not sure “prolozone therapy” isn’t some scam. Please let me know your opinions, and thanks again for the great videos.

One question. Is it able to ride for long with that tape one the knee?

[@hoogiechugie]

I cycled recently , my left patella felt like it was "popping" with each revolution, when i would exert pressure to straighten the leg that was when my patella would "pop" and slide in a bad way. It became painful and I had to stop, and the pain carried on days afterwards. It sucks because I was looking for an alternative mode of transportation!

[@nitinsharma6832]

idk.....last week i did little intense uphill cycling last week and then in the evening i went for my walk I started to feel quiet a pain in my inner side of knees (both) and its very uneasy since then...p.s. i had got my arthritis test done some 6 months ago which was all ok please tell me what is wrong

I injured myself while riding not even sure what I did, I ride a recumbent trike (Catrike-Expedition) I was looking for help with sciatic, knee and foot pain and found you guys (your the most famous on the net).....I was wondering about the distance from seat to the pedal, I know about the slight bend at the knee and have adjusted for that....I've always try to keep my feet below the knee and my knees in line with my hips (not always successfully) I haven't been on my trike in 5 weeks this is the longest I've been without riding....and tour season is getting closer....gotta get this fixed

Could you do a video for scoliosis

[@MrPressHere]

Hi I have a question please. When I use the bike, my knee hurts, but no exactly the outside but the top of the knee and the bottom of the thigh. My Lower back hurts as well. Interesting enough when I run the pain goes away. I tried raising the seat as high as possible but the pain still persisted. I have a lot of climbs in my drive, which make me push harder and I was thinking that I was straining the tendon or muscle. What do you think?

[@Kemal-vh8hj]

What if you have a pain on top of your knee cap right above it?

[@iggydip]

Hi guys. My problem is that when I stand up and pedal on my bike my knees feel like they are going to collapse and I feel like I lose confidence when doing this. I also struggle with leg lunges as my knees feel, again, like they are going to give way. Obviously a trip to a physio is what I need but do you have any suggestions as to the cause and possible exercises to help with this.

[@markdavis8430]

If had the same problems Av been told to do straight leg raises while sitting to build up strength in the patellae in the knee cap And to use bike lightly It works but takes 3 to 6 months Hope this help a little Take care

[@iggydip]

@@markdavis8430 Thanks for the reply Mark. Do you mean to sit down and raise your leg to 90 degrees so that the leg is horizontal?

Thank you, guys! One question: I bicycle on a ladies’ commuter bike (retro Raleigh) in downtown D.C. every day. That means I have to stop and start a lot, sort of twisting every time I lean over - to stop and then start up again. I have arthritis in my knees and lower back. Any exercises to help with pain from that? I do the clam shell one already - and other knee and back exercises. Any thoughts? Thanks. Mattie

i have a small cartilage tear in my knee including arthritis because of the injury. i find it hard to do any exercise. Doctor is suggesting to hold off on surgery for a bit. i need to exercise. Is it a bad idea to weight lift? Can my bad knee be strengthened? I obviously can't run.

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

sweetspice I think I have the same problem as you. I asked my Dr about exercising my knees and he said yes, but I think he misunderstood my question. I started weight lifting light weights and it made things much worse. I think my Dr meant to exercise in general to loose weight so it would be less stain on my knees. I am 65.

[@melodybarlow7815]

The title of your video is misleading. I thought this would be a video explaining how to help a knee that ALREADY is painful with bicycling. Not pain caused FROM bicycling. I have really bad osteoarthritis in both knees. Am not able to cycle as it is too painful to fully flex my knees to complete a pedal circle. Do you have videos addressing this? Thanks so much.

[@gmjo5300]

I get a pinch sensation on my right inner pelvic area. I had a cortisone shot which helped but wondering if there is something else I can do? I have to stop and kinda swing from my hip and it relieves it for a maybe another mile or so. Any way to stop it?

[@EliteCaca]

i am 5,1 a short person if i put the seat to high i cant touch the floor when coming to a fall stop and i sometimes end up falling. how do i fix this?

[@EricReyes0142]

When you’re standing with feet flat on the floor, you should be able to stand over the top tube of your bike. Your feet should not be able to touch the floor when you’re sitting on the saddle. When coming to a stop on the bike, get off the saddle and lean your body forward to stand over the top tube. At this point you can put one foot down and lean on that leg with the other foot still on the pedal or take both feet off and stand over the bike.

Great video! I'm getting back into biking more recently myself after many years and I want to have correct form. I may have ridden too much to start back recently. I noticed after a longer ride that I was hearing popping noise coming from my right patella area while pedaling, no pain but the popping and right knee in general felt odd (this was with correct bike seat height). I took a break from biking and I have since noticed that my patella pops more when bending my right leg than my left leg. Sometimes it feels like the knee needs to pop to "feel right". After watching your other videos it seems like my right patella may be having some tracking issues due to weak muscles and tendons. I'm working on doing daily quad, hamstring, and calf stretches followed by quad strengthening exercises. Does it sound like I'm on the right path? Should I hold off on biking for awhile and continue strengthening exercises before starting back slowly? It seems biking would also be a great exercise for strengthening the muscles and knees, but I didn't want to do any damage by repeatedly causing my patella to pop. Thank you for your help, you guys are great!
