Finally glute exercises to help knee pain, without having to get down on my hands and knees.

[@HT-Physio]

:)

[@sharibaratono8363]

I fixed knee pain by walking backwards on the treadmill or on the hill near my home. So I walk very slow on the treadmill, I can hold on to the hand holds for balance. I turn on the belt very slow and just leave it there and turn around while it’s moving, it’s not a speed exercise. I do this for about 2.5 to 4 minutes, whatever I tolerate. Works great. If I slack off doing this exercise and the pain returns, I just get back to doing it. My knee pain is a muscle that often feels like a painful rope on my medial (inner) knee, not inside my knee, it’s not bone pain or inside the joint, it’s a muscle on the outside. I twisted this knee years ago by stepping into a hole that had caused swelling at that time.

Thank you for this. I did notice my knee rolling softly inwards and I am glad I came across your video

[@janjenkinson1829]

Hello from America. Thank you Will for always being positive. My Dr. of Osteopathic medicine had absolutely NO suggestions for the knee pain I’ve been experiencing, after X-rays revealed server bone on bone osteoarthritis. He told me a cortisone injection would help. I got it… week later still not great but better. Then I got to thinking most health professionals in this country are at the mercy of insurance companies. This is a profit business. He told me I’d be looking at surgery in 2 yrs. $$$….. He never discussed diet, lifestyle changes, physical therapy. Just so you know we all on your channel appreciate your honesty. Jan

[@paraponon]

Osteopathy isn't serious. Visit a physiotherapist.

It's true, my knee pain got better but it is not really disappearing. Seems they engineered a new virus that ultimately your leg has to be amputated?

[@kmsongbird]

Can't believe I've been struggling with a knee that turns inward and the resultant knee pain (mostly feel it down the outside of that knee) for all these years and the solution was in my glutes all this time! Thank you - I'll come back to this video with an update soon!

[@Only1SapphireDiamond]

👀 so, how’s it going?

[@leahw4187]

OMG!!! I did 3 sets of 10 for each exercise 1 time and my knee pain is 80% better. I wish saw this video before I went to the sports medicine doc only to be told I have knee arthritis and a suggestion to get knee injections of hyaluronic acid at 200 a pop. Thanks so much. I for this video.

[@HT-Physio]

Wishing you all the best!

[@christinenewland386]

I never even thought of the glutes!

[@IsSocratesDead]

Stronger muscles, less pain in the joints - excellent principle for healthy aging!

[@purrpaws]

I felt so much better following Docs instruction! Am 70+ & pretty pain free ever since following the instructions!

[@mrsnegrich]

This is marvellous and I can’t thank you enough. I’m nearly 75 and been walking & cycling my whole life. Coming out of winter in February or so, I had a craving for biking and didn’t follow up. Then come March, my right knee started acting up. Got X-ray found out a lil arthritis and Dr said the cartilage looked fine. He prescribed cycling to me on a stationary bike. Did some, helped a…bit…then a few days ago KZbin showed me a physiotherapist teaching standing exercises for knees which was bit painful to do standing. Started doing your exercises 2 days ago, I can already feel the benefits. I’m so amazed. Thank you thank you thank you Dr Harlow. You’re the best. I’m subscribing. ❤❤❤

[@ainsworth538]

I've been having knee problems for years and going to physio and never told these things so thanks very much doc

[@deniseq6371]

Thanks for your quality info in each video, much appreciated!

[@susanpeart1023]

I am so impressed with the clarity of the instructions and just how easy you make the movements appear. An excellent instructor indeed.

I will start today. I cant stand for a longer time, i cant sit for a longer time because of painful knees. Osteo arthritis has been diagnosed.

I've been dealing w knee pain for 7 years. When I saw this it explained MY particular knee issue. The exercises work and its the first relief I've gotten. Thank you!!!😊❤

[@abdurrahmaniwan9668]

Is your pain the inner side of the knee?

[@saadmansakib6612]

How are you now compared to when you started?

[@tonyeezi7315]

I was suffering joint pain (especially knees and elbows) a few months back, which came on quite suddenly. I took a good look at my diet and cut out chocolate (not that it is chocolate in the UK anymore! I used to eat a lot.) and other sweet treats, improved my intake of fruit and vegetables, have more full fat dairy and red meat, absolutely nothing processed, and within a month I had no more joint pains. At 56 years of age, a long distance lorry driver, I'm glad my issue was just down to diet as it was affecting my ability to work. I can still get up from a crouched position without using my arms, and as long as I keep moving as much as possible while behind the wheel I do not get any aches or pains at all at the end of a long days working.

[@sylviaellis373]

Good advice, will be doing them🥰

[@jointxlplus]

That's fantastic to hear! It's amazing how dietary changes can have such a positive impact on our health. Your commitment to improving your diet and staying active is truly commendable. Keep up the great work and stay healthy on the road! 🚛💪

[@lakshiabeyasekera2909]

[@HT-Physio]

I'm sorry to hear about your injury - I'm pleased my channel is able to offer some support!

[@joanijackson3108]

I’ve just had a second total knee replacement in the same knee in 14 months. I kept falling over with the first as my knee kept giving way without notice so I had to rely on crutches but I still fell and fractured my neck, fractured many ribs, sustained many concussions after falling backwards down 3 steps with multiple lacerations and other injuries. It was a mechanical problem so my surgeon took out the prosthetic and put what he described as a more stable on. I’m three months post surgery and still in excruciating pain 24/7 and no medication helps so I rely on ice. I can’t be active on my feet for more than two hours as I’m crippled with pain, just like the first surgery. I have not fallen, buta quite a few times I’ve felt my knee almost give way, but very managed to regain my balance. I’ve now been on crutches 17 months and post surgery I was in a rehabilitation hospital for 5 weeks and was doing really well with not too much pain. However when I returned home I had to do everything for myself, cooking, cleaning shopping etc because I live alone and all the extra work and time on my feet causes excruciating crippling pain after two hours so I have to elevate my leg and ice it. I wish I’d never had the surgery as my pain was not nearly as bad as it is now, but I was working bone on bone. I attend out patient Physiotherapy session twice a week for two hours and do the exercises at home the other days. Do you think these exercises would help me? I just don’t see any progress and I’ve been on crutches 17 months now and petrified of falling as I’m a 73 year old woman with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis so that’s why I have sustained so many fractures when falling. I had a hip replacement over three years ago and did follow up physiotherapy exercises and measure back to normal, pain free within a few months. This pain is so debilitating and prevents me doing activities I enjoy and I feel so isolated because I can’t sleep with the pain so I’m very sleep deprived too. I went from an extremely active person who could work hard all day without a problem, but now I feel truly disabled and wondering if I’ll ever be able to return to my old active life again. Thank you for showing those exercises adrift you think they may help, I will add them to my routine I would appreciate your views. Thank you so much. Joan 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very well explained. We are family of doctors except my husband. He will not listen to any one. He started getting knee pain in one of his joints. He does few exercises which are no where near your explanation. I agree with you and enjoyed all of the exercises you showed. Hope fully I can get him to watch your show and learn how to take care of his knee. I will get back to you once he watches your show he will be convinced. These exercises are not difficult but one should learn and do the exercise daily. Thank you very much and I am lucky to bump in to your show as I was browsing. Thank you very much. God bless you.

[@doctorclutterbuster8791]

On a similar note, (but not to take away from HT's most excellent information), sore knees can also be caused by too much sugar in the diet. I went to Italy twice this year and both times came back with swollen, sore and stiff knees (too much pasta, pizza, cakes & puddings!) After a bit of research, my suspicions were confirmed.

[@martinezdirce9225]

Thank you !

[@katfitness2701]

Same here. This is truth.

[@nandansharma3923]

Did your pain go away.. after adjusting the diet?

[@katfitness2701]

@nandansharma3923 my arthritis pain didn't go away, but it decreased by about half when I cut down on candies and other sweets. I could prob see even more benefit if I were to cut all sugar. But yikes so hard to do that.

[@lenny108]

Stretching exercises make little sense because this is a case of tendonitis. The inflammation must be treated first. Turmeric is a natural remedy for healing inflammation. One should not consume turmeric raw. In the morning, pour boiling water over a handful of turmeric and make a turmeric tea. A pinch of pepper on top. Frankincense tablets are also good for healing inflammation. After a few days, the inflammation should be gone. Then one can do stretching exercises again.
