Knee Pain With Exercise (SURPRISING CAUSE and HOW TO FIX IT!)

No Pain, MORE Gain with the joint supplement trusted by today’s top pro athletes - athleanx.com/x/...
Knee pain is one of the most debilitating discomforts that you can feel when you're working out, especially during a leg workout. Pain in your knees can come in many different forms. You can get ligament pain usually seen from an injury to the ACL or MCL. You can get meniscus pain that usually results in a knee that gives out or locks unexpectedly. You can also get arthritic changes to the surfaces of the bones in the joint that makes movement difficult.
That said, the most common cause of knee pain in those working out is patellofemoral or patellar tracking dysfunction. In this video, I show you the root cause of the knee pain and more importantly, how to fix the pain. There are many exercises for knee pain but if the ones you're doing are only focusing on the quads and the muscles around the knee, then you're not looking at the complete picture.
Most pains are caused by dysfunction at joints above or below the site of the pain. In the case of the knee, you have to look up to the hip or down to the ankle for the real cause of the pain. Patellofemoral exercises are usually the focus of treatment for knee pain. They even are considered the best workout for knee pain. That's a mistake.
There's more to getting rid of knee soreness than just working on that VMO. Knee pain on squats is common when there are tracking issues in the kneecap. Most often, weak hips (glute medius exactly) cause the femur to track incorrectly. You want to do exercises for knee pain that strengthen your glutes.
I show you the easiest and best way to do this so you can start fixing your knee discomfort and soreness starting now.
For a more comprehensive treatment for knee pain, you may want to check out the latest in sports nutrition and science. The ATHLEAN-Rx joint supplement - MECHAN-X is revolutionizing joint recovery and helping guys who have suffered with pain in their training, workout without pain for the first time in a long time.

[@Blakewater0326]

I'm an active duty parachutist, have been for 18 years. I finally went to medical to get help for my knees because it got so bad I could barely climb stairs (but I was still jumping). Naval medicine told me I had chronic knee pain and told me to do lunges and leg curls. Everything they did just aggravated my knees further. Through X-rays it was discovered I have metal fragments imbedded in and around my knee, so MRI is out and naval medicine basically gave up on me. Jeff's videos have given me so much I've been able to reduce my pain to a point I may be able to start carrying my wife up to bed again. Thanks, Jeff.

[@nocturnal7345]

Blake Water How did the metal fragments managed to get imbedded into your knee?

[@Blakewater0326]

Not sure. IED, RPG, mortar, rocket, hand grenade; take your pick. The fragments are fairly small, but there's a few. Enough that they can't figure out how to image my knees. Small and deep enough that surged to remove them would do more damage than the little bits already have. I was concerned, but like I said finding Jeff's channel and scouring the internet I actually have a proper PT program and a lot of the pain is gone.

[@Artemisstudent]

Cut back on your portions a little at a time, you will lose weight this way along with exercise. Just leave something on your plate, one bite of food at each meal. Do that for a couple of months at every meal. Then try eating 90% of what’s on your plate. Replace that missing 10% with a filling vegetable or fruit like broccoli or a banana if you still feel hungry. Do that for 2 months. Add simple cardio like two 20 min walks or dancing each week. Keep cutting back on your portions every few months, drink some water at each meal. Your body will get rid of the existing weight and your stomach will also adjust to the smaller portions. I did this and lost 30 pounds in a year. I realized I was eating too much food and I sit all day for work so I had no way to burn the excess calories. So now I eat what my body will actually burn for me and help it with eating a little steamed vegetables, salads, & fruit from time to time. I go for 25 min walks when it’s warm out. I still don’t own a gym membership. I couldn’t believe it worked for me but it did. Try it if you’d like. This approach is low maintenance and you go as fast or as slow as you’re comfortable with. It’ll be easier on your joints too.

[@greenstair]

Thank you very much for this information - I did six - only SIX reps and it burned like a sonofa, think this might explain a lot of my knee pain. Really appreciate your putting this out. Just thank you.

Fantastic video! I had severe IT band issues and now my knee hurts. This makes sense! Thank you.

[@londonk09]

Omg this worked instantly I feel so free... I was in so much pain before the video now I feel free. Even my ankle stop hurting..

I can barely do 30 of those leg lifts in a row, and I have chronic knee pain. My hips are weak as fuck. Thx for the advice!

[@shlokamehta1984]

Your quick video on this topic has been a game changer for my "knee-pain". Thank you so much Jeff!!

[@chvycamaro98]

Holy cow! I tried the Jane Fonda leg lift and got to 15 on both legs and it burned like crazy! After only doing just that, 15 reps on both sides, my knee pain has been reduced probably 75%!!! I am absolutely going to include some glute medius training in my routine because I am super weak there! THANK YOU JEFF!!!!!!

[@jankoskudar422]

Thanks for the video! Helped me big time. Took 2 weeks to stop feeling the pain.

[@gauravtiwari9263]

Jeff, I am your big fan, When I went to doctor for my shoulder pain(AC-joint). he just prescribed pain killers, with your videos I was able to treat root cause, and got rid of issue. I understood anatomy of shoulder and pec muscle, corrected my bench press form and worked on should blades muscle. I can not express in words but I am truly indebted to you. Also please bring join kind of button, I would like to pay back with money.

[@gttone323]

I started getting pain constant pain while playing soccer for the first time weekly. This immediately got rid of my pain. I will incorporate this exercise rutine in the gym and warm ups before playing.

[@Knightstalker45]

I legit did 3 sets until I couldnt take the burn and i purposely did a body weight squat putting pressure on my knees and i was giggling like a girl because there wasn't any pain or discomfort lol

[@denis_ds]

Jane Fonda leg raise on first try. Left leg : 36 Right leg: serious burn started at 16 reps, and I took 1 sec break there, on 25 and finished again with 36 reps.

[@SeaniMonsta]

I come to your channel first for all my joint problems...and typically learn more than i can digest with one viewing, so I watch it again and again, which then levels up my training long term. Over the past 3 years, with your vids (and my own casual hobby of drawing anatomical posters) I’ve learned nearly as much as a PT student, and more! Thank you, i hope you earn a lot of passive cash from youtube because a lot of us athletes can’t afford the injury, let alone the consultation bill. Not saying I worship you, but over time, ive come to trust you wholeheartedly. Peace and gratitude from Rhode Island!

[@R_samurai779]

Thanks Jeff... I now experience knee pain.... And also I have flat feet... So yeah... And I can't do squats without pain... So I guess I have to strengthen other areas too... Thanks once again

Everything you said in this video is so true. my hips are weak, and collapsed arches due to that.

Wish I had watched this video before... My right knee is in pretty bad condition right now. Frequently popping and painful during flexion. Will try this Jeff! Thanks.

[@thekingdomofanimals8323]

Did it help? I'm here going to try it.

[@MotivatedMindsAcademy]

I thought I was possibly going To have to stop weight training because of the pain I’m having in my knees. Now that you mention this about weak hips this makes perfect sense. I never thought of this. I have been so focused on my knees. Thank you for doing this video.

Hi Jeff , this really works... My knee pain is gone after one week doing this... THANK YOU!!!!

[@ryno3888]

Super helpful video. Keep setting the standard, my man!

[@starvinmarvin7964]

People, especially athletes that rotate alot, often have femoral external rotation/abduction on one side and internal rotation/adduction on the other. In this case the core is the issue. It will seem as though their external rotators/abductors are weak on one side, but that's not necessarily true. Theyre just being stretched and unable to contract properly. You can try to strengthen the hip external rotators all you want, but it will do nothing until the core is addressed. It's an imbalance between the anterior and posterior oblique slings.

[@heckerj44]

[@aarnoarnold1973]

Fantastic to see and hear explanations about biomechanics that regular people can understand. I've started doing these movements along with some others and rollouts. I'm hopeful that some improvement will come in the near future.

[@abhisrigiriraju9237]

Did it work? If so, how long did it take?

[@dazzlingpumppouches]

This is so right. I had a knee replacement on right side, two weeks in left knee got bad due to overcompensation and gait. A few months later after suffering with bad knee pain, knee cap tracking issues, along with pt I started doing clam shells and the side leg lifts you mentioned every night before going to bed. About a week or two in I’m feeling better. My gait is getting better, the pressure on my surgical side knee and other side feels more even. I also did some other flute exercises and foot also and I’m seeing so much improvement. Also after my surgery developed Morton’s neuroma on non surgical side foot. The whole thing was so out of whack. I

[@LegendOfBread]

Excellent excellent video. Even from doing this for about 20 reps and squatting right after helped my lower quad and patella pain somewhat go away. PS you deserve all the 6 million subscribers that you have. Quality quality content. Love this channel!

Great video. What causes intense aching near the gluteus medius /also piriformis even when lying down but especially when sitting :(

[@orenloya1092]

you actually gave me hope in being able to have stronger knees thank you. this is all valuable information

[@jerrysofley720]

I have pain in one knee. Tried that "Jane Fonda" exercise you suggested. I happened to do the not in pain leg first and got to 42 reps before fatigue and a burn at starting at 46. Then tried the hurt side. Fatigue started at 12 reps and serious burn at 14. I got to 50 eventually. After 5 minutes of rest I could squat without a since, and my natural out-turned foot stance was less pronounced. Thais was immediate improved internal rotation of the legs from the hip. Thank you.

Thankyou Jeff! You saved my life.

[@beastmode5952]

Thanks so much Jeff, been doing my Jane Fondas' and my knee pain has gone! You were right, about 20 reps in I was toast, very humbling.

Jeff,I attempted the Fonda leg raise test and on the right side which is the weak side,I was only able to get 25 out of 50 and 40 on the left.It especially lit on fire on the right side showing how weak the right hip is.Another pit stop to fix the Kinetic chain!

[@yarpen26]

as a matter of fact, i haven't had any joint issues until about four days ago when literally all hell broke loose. i mean, all of a sudden my wrists started popping, my shoulders started popping, my elbows started popping, my knees started popping, my ankles started popping... just crazy. no pain mind you, just that annoying crack every once in a while. i'm just worried it will develop into some major shit if i don't do something about it. so right now, to fix the knee stuff, i started doing fifty Jane Frondas on each side and then fifty closed hip abduction reps per leg. you guys think it will help? or maybe just popping isn't anything to be worried about until it starts hurting?

[@UNr34]

+yarpen26 Same here. Took a break from exercise for about a year. I come back and within the first two weeks EVERY joint contantly clicks and generally feels immobile even though I'm only 26 :/

[@Batmanexxx]

I haven't been working out for about 6 months now after losing roughly 20 lbs. I've been having horrible knee problems (mostly my right knee) just from regular walking and standing up. It has been eye opening watching this video!!! I had no idea what was causing the pain and just figured I had weak knees and being overweight was making them more sore than normal. Well, now I know what's causing this!!! I did the test and did about 20 leg raises on my right leg and didn't continue because I already had my results LOL. Then when I started doing the workout (which I'll be doing daily now) I could feel the burn again. Thank you so much for helping me figure out how to correct this issue!
