How To Treat Knee Pain Without Exercises (At Home)

[@Pixie2sweet]

It’s like you guys somehow know what part of my body is hurting the most every time you upload it’s exactly what I needed

[@BobandBrad]

Great 👍

[@simonbremner2707]

Same here, I think the algorithm picks up even if you slightly pause while scrolling which can be on any network or google.

[@sharonsquires3556]

Wow! you guys are great! Why didn't I find you before this! How come my former PT didn't know or tell me about you guys!! (I recently went and told her about YOU! 🙂). All your tips are so helpful!!! Thank you for what you do!!! You definitely SHOULD be the most FAMOUS on the internet!!!

[@PeachBoiASMR]

I love how you guys bring on new people to the channel to discuss their ideas on certain topics. I great person the bring on next would be Dr. Aaron from squat university!

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for the idea! We will look into him

[@knittingknut]

I bought a concept 2 rower. It’s early days yet but I swear it’s helping my knees. It’s almost as if the bending and straightening of the legs while rowing is increasing circulation to the knee. My knees actually feel GOOD when I’m walking around

[@janehood5427]

My Physical Therapist used this technique during knee replacement therapy. It breaks up the tight tissue. He called Astym technique. It was painful at the time but worked wonders.

I just love you guys and enjoy learning how to relieve my arthritis pain. Thank you!

[@BobandBrad]

You’re welcome 😊

[@kimberlyscott864]

You guys rock! Coincidentally, this is the direction I would rub my knee/low thigh and get relief from bone spurs and arthritis in my knee! Your explanations and methods have encouraged me so much! I just turned 50 and was ready to just give up due to newly discovered bone spurs and pain in my right knee...because I already have severe facet arthritis (L3,4,5,S1and2), severe SI joint pain and bilateral arm numbness! After 26 years as a sonographer, the body mechanics used daily at work have worn me out in so many areas. Your videos have given me hope that I can feel better. Thank you so very much.

[@BobandBrad]

So happy to hear this!

[@TomZ23]

This is great! I could have used this advice a couple of weeks ago when I started running again. Thank you!

[@BobandBrad]

[@ShaunResolute]

Tried this using the butter knife, I’ve been having knee issue from playing soccer. Retired playing few years ago but recently come back for a social league. My knee hates the twisting especially the next day. Been quad mashing and flossing but did this for about 5 minutes and it’s worked really well. Good work with the videos and great demo for people like me without the equipment.

[@veronicasamantha13]

Your BEST GUEST to date!! This Doctor is BRILLIANT and speaks so the lay person can understand! I went to a PT, who used the metal tools on me, telling me it's a BIG DEAL in the State of Maryland, you have to be trained and certified to use the metal tools. It was a while ago, so I don't remember what she called it, BUT it was dreadful!!! Certainly, hurt my neck, very uncomfortable and resulted in no pain relief. Now with this knowledge, I will use a butter knife, shoveling on my left leg above the kneecap, in hopes of some relief, this is a new symptom for me.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing, hopefully this will help

[@rosimeirenogueira2933]

Thank you ever so much. You are all wonderful. Am excited to give this a try on my knee recovering from fracture. MM

[@berka05]

I was walking/running today up and down some stairs in a hurry and got sudden sharp knee pain. Got home and in an instant I see this video which was really helpfull. Anyway my knee pain was always a problem since I had skateboard injury where I was skating this wooden skatepark which was made of wooden boards and panels. One of the panels had a hole in it and a sharp piece of wood sticking out of it. Fell right with my knee on the sharp edge had a hole in my knee. Had to keep my knee straight for weeks so the wound could heal up properly, whenever I would bend my knee I would tear a wound. Had it pictured back in a day doctor said everything was in place nothing broken but hurted really bad. Since then, when I had that accident. Sometimes pain would appear even tho for most of the time I'm alright.

[@BobandBrad]

Hopefully this will help!

[@justinewhite8288]

I have had meniscus repair, however I have arthritis, so now I have no meniscus left and am bone on bone. The pain is mostly on the outside of my knee. Can I do this on the side of my knee? I rarely have pain in the area demonstrated in the video.

Rest and avoid anythung that can trigger the swelling and put ice on it in a plastice wrap for 20 minutes and repeat it a lot of times suring the day and you can compress it by a bandage and elevate your legs above level of the heart by adding pillows You can perform isometric exercises like Contracting your quadriceps without moving it And take anti inflammatory drugs

In October 1987, I had a WALL fall on me. A 6 inch thick by 8 foot high by 16 foot long wall that was pressure treated lumber fell onto my back. I had a 2 by stud land RIGHT on my spine and smashed my L patella onto a small rock. We were putting up walls to frame-out our basement so the house could be built. A strong wind came along and caused the wall to fall. Unfortunately it landed on me. 32 years later and 24 "Specialists" later(2019 is when I was told), I get told that I have OSTEOARTHRITIS in my L knee. I'm going on 49 in May. I'm now using a damn walker when my knee hurts or gets swollen. This morning I was woke up by pain that feels EXACTLY the same as growing pains in my knees. Got any exercises that COULD help my knees?
