Improve THIS to Reduce Knee Stiffness Going Down Stairs + 3 exercises

[@GermaineRoss-sg9pf]

These are so awesome- really like having real people with real issues!

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you like these videos

[@carmeliaoquinn2441]

Thankyou. I'm 53 & my left knee started giving out on my 3yrs ago. I was told its arthritis, but a knee replacement is not necessary yet. Some days are ok, but most days are brutal. Your vidoes are what get me through the day. I used to walk 2-3hrs a day, but now I'm happy if I can walk 45mins. You inspire me not to give up.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@arthritisadventure]

You can do it!

[@karylelliott2303]

Thank you Dr. Alyssa for you videos on oesteoarthris, especially knees. Maneuvering the staircase (step savers) is a task.😢😢😢😢

[@LaShumbra_Bates_AuDHD]

The same exercises my physical therapist had me doing. And yes they did help. I need to get back to doing those exercises. I've been feeling some regression. 😒

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you saw benefit from the exercises. Good luck in getting back into the movements.

Question - when I try the ankle dorsiflexion exercise, it puts additional stress on my knee, as my knee is extending beyond the toe of my foot. I’m wondering whether there is an alternative, or a solution to eliminate the amount of pressure on my knee during the exercise?

Could you do an exercise video that addresses this issue? I'm 51 and struggling to walk up steps after being very active in my life. I would love a 30 minute video

[@arthritisadventure]

Inside of my arthritis workout membership, Adventurers for Life, I have follow along workouts that address standing, walking, stair climbing and getting up from the floor. Here is a 14 day free trial you can give it a go: keeptheadventurealive.com/adventurers-for-life-free-trial/

I'm going to try these when I throw the ball for my dog. I hope they help.

[@alaskabarb8089]

I would have liked to see her actually go down stairs after these exercises and remark on any differences she experienced. *** Maybe a video for those who do have knee joint issues. For instance, I walk up stairs normally, but lead with the same leg whilst descending, because of intermittent sharp pain of the patellar ligament when it bends more than 90 degrees (necessary for regular locomotion down the stairs). I do a lot of range of motion exercises in the pool with no problem, but it’s weight bearing during bending that exacerbates the issue. I also have calcific tendinitis from long-term hypothyroidism.

[@arthritisadventure]

You can take a look at this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKvCeoGjbdKhhM0

[@ewan0284]

What about the other foot how much far from the wall and at what angle ? that's about the first exercise

[@maryfolks9368]

This is a great video and I did the exercises with it. Is this something we should do every day? Or did you say that already. Getting my daughter ready for school at the same time lol😊

My heel rises a bit when I do this. While touching the wall Is that OK?

[@arthritisadventure]

For this exercise, try to keep the heel on the floor, as it raises, it becomes easier to touch the wall just from the heel lifting.

[@tejovatimyfav5371]

We have to practice both legs one after the other ,to touch the knee to the wall .she is doing one leg.?

[@karolvoigt3636]

Alyssa ....I am bone on bone...tried the first exercise and it was snap, crackle, crunch...should I continue? It was a little scary. Thank you!!

Joint noises are usually common and harmless. If accompanied consistently by significant pain- it may need more attention.
