Wo, wait, I've been watching 1,000,000 knee videos and I finally find one that treats this issue specifically which has got to be the root of this Dom pain for so many people. Goddess bless your work.

[@teresaspensley5640]

Just found this video but I did this a few days ago myself using a spoon as in another video I saw. OMG the relief I got was amazing.I’ve not been able to walk downstairs (one foot on one step)for about 5 years but i did it straightaway after one more exercise.I could of sorted this years ago had I found information like this. Thank you for giving people this knowledge guys 🌟🙋🏻‍♀️🙏👍🏻🇬🇧

[@health-of-it]

​@@Cas3620I was wondering the same thing

[@Xoppaly]

What do you mean spoon?

[@BIGLOVE4TRUTH]

I have had this pain for a week. Been to 3 PT appointments so far. Never have they done this. Gonna show them this video next appointment.

[@BeYourUniquePotential]

There is nothing like a bit of solid torture therapy! Great sounds coming from the bench. ;.P. Seriously, this has been a game changer. I feel I can run again. You are a blessing. Waving to you with thanks from Cornwall, UK

[@triffidgrower]

I am encouraged that a freshly graduated Physiotherapist relative mentioned Popliteus when I described a recently aquired pain in this vicinity. Sadly, your patient in this video has convinced me that I will not be placing myself in anybody's hands anytime soon, whilst I continue to ever so slowly improve under my own instinctive pampering. I have rehabbed a couple of knees already, from fractures to patella dislocation, and in my eighth decade, I dearly wish to groan no more...😄

Thanks souch for this video, been dealing with this since I've been walking a lot past month, hope it works for me. Thanks for the explanation regarding root cause of instability of the knee.

[@jasonjoe733]

I'm totally gonna get this done.

[@Xflosiv]

Man was in so much pain he coughed 😛 I currently have a popliteus injury after kicking someone in an open water swim. The next day I day I cried from pain during a run and couldn't straighten my leg. Went to see a physio and she did almost exactly what you're doing, with some ultrasound treatment. I think there's a tear so she strapped me up and I'm impatiently waiting to start running again in 2 weeks after more messages. Good Physios are such gifts to sportsmen and women. Thank you for this!!

Yes. I knew this was the issue. Therapists and doctors made me believe i didnt kno what i felt.. they kept blaming it on my weight.. to this im still suffering with pain from my knees

[@bar8419]

Hello. Who does this type of therapy?.would this be a physical therapist? I have had this for 3.5 years, and just realize that muscle is very involved in my knee instability. I am in northern california. Who would I call that could do this with knowledge and care?

Darcy boa noite eu tenho uma bolinha nesse lugar sempre aparece uma dor devo fazer este tipo de tratamento para melhorar eu agradeco em compartilhar seus conhecimentos.

[@michaelsiler4702]

Thanks for sharing this! I currently have a really bad snapping/pop that is happening behind the knee and on the outside behind the knee. MRI was good and 2 different drs had no idea. When my snapping happens it hurts and is really loud. Then after 5 seconds the pain goes away. Doesn’t happen if I run but will happen when jumping or quickly changing direction. Any idea on how to treat the muscle don’t will no longer snap? Mentally I am scared to death to do anything sport like as it snaps all the time.

[@moxy2468]

I found some relief by laying on my back and crossing the stiff knee over my toe or shoe of the other foot and letting gravity apply the pressure. Working down the knee and calf in the same fashion.

[@marcostevens4086]

Brilliant. Just what I needed to understand

[@kyleos6312]

Hi Darcy .... thanks for this video as I think it has spot on hit my problem. Did a 20m quarry jump into water and hyperflexed my knees about 3 weeks ago. Both hurt but as the right has had pevious misstreatment it was not able to recover like the left. Though sore I could swim out and after a few minutes feeling sorry for myself I could gingerly drive home (thank god I have an automatic). Next day could not walk on the right knee - did the elivate Ibuprofen and ice pack treatment and slowlty got, hobbling, walking and about 10 days ago even started running. Did lots of planter flexion excercises , calf raises, rubber bands etc and this week was able to go back to the gym and run 5 km every day fairly hard. It was tender but ok - so I thought I was ready for beach volleyball ( I know stupid). Anyway on one of the net jumps landed in a locked out position on the sand ... and felt a twig. This then happened again on a small jump and the 3rd time the knee just felt weak and gave way, so I wised up and called it quits. Walked home fine but worried as I am hobbling again and have to go coach swiming in NY in two weeks where I will be required to be physically active. I went to the NHS and had it x-rayed after the initial jump. The knees is a bit of a mess - as I chipped off a piece of bone in front of the tibia and sliced it open falling down a mountain at 12 growing up in Namibia. And did a medial strain which I had to rehab 3-4 years ago surfing as well as came off a motorbike on an earlier surf trip. At the time I donated skin to the tarmac and was traveling in places where hospitals were 50/50 as to whether you come out better. So after asking the local boys who had had similar accidents I got guaze banadges silverdurm cream and good old tiger balm and self medicated ... not just rum and beer promise, also did excercises, rubber bands, extentions to get things back. The X-ray also showed I previosly cracked the knee cap ... which I cant really remember. Anyhow when I did the quarry jump I felt like 3-4 swollen lines on the right back of the knee ... running diagonally doward from the outside of the knee in. These has swollen up and disapeared after a few days of ice. After the volleyball they have bounced back up and I have them back iced as we speak. I will definitly go see an osteopath in the next few days ... thought your mates moaning and writhing has me rather nervous I have to admit. treatment looks ouch. Any excercises I can do ?

[@Feline202]

Is this the same problem as bakers cyst???? I would love it if you answered me. And is the treatment the same?

[@alanfrancis9225]

This is what I did ten years ago. Believe it or not I was carrying a tray with a latte just after being served at a cafe. The latte was falling over. I twisted to avoid the hot coffee. No pain. The following morning I was in agony couldn’t stand on leg. Took me months to walk. MRI showed strain of popliteus and slight cartilage tear. Still aches now. Will have physio. Can straighten leg but cannot put calf muscle on quads.

[@PascasiaRweyemamu-ls2yf]

Thanks a lot. I had TKR five months ago now I am having pain at the back of the same knee. Is it advisible to undergo the same manipularion? I scared of such pain whereby the man was screeming!?

[@binny9820]

Did your chiro release this muscle?

[@salvadoriana1]

​@binny9820 it was better after the first time. He massaged the top part of the calf and then did a type of manipulation when he bent my knee and the K-taped it. Now I'm like nothing ever happened. He said it's so important to stretch before and after so UT doesn't lock up.

[@binny9820]

Is this muscle tightness common after ACL surgery using hamstring graft? I have a weird pain in the back of the knee which prevents me from getting full flexion and sitting in the childs pose bum on heels.

[@dshell1095]

When I told my new therapist about the pain behind my knee he did the same technique and I had to yell into my pillow 🤪. The next day, I had a lot more flexibility and less pain ☺️

[@MelbourneMuscularTherapies]

GREAT RESULT! 🥷

[@mercuriallimit]

I know mine is not coming from sport but from prolonged driving with the wrong foot position between brakes and accelerator. It should start like 6+ yrs ago, i knew was wrong but don’t know what, I ran for 2 km and it starts hurting like hell on the back of my right knee. Makes me not want to run at all, but now just sitting at the desk with bent knee and extending it make it painful.

I need your advice please: j had a meniscectomy on my right knee last july (7 months ago), unfortunately i haven't been able to exercise since (i used to be quite active: running & doing a couple of boxing classes every week), the advice i was given by the surgeon & the physio were very basic (no impact training, just cycling & swimming), I'm finding this extremely difficult to accept as I truly want to get back to some basic running & light boxing classes. Could you please tell me if this is possible, as you have the experience dealing with such issues on a daily basis??? And if so , what kind of exercises I should be doing to improve my chances of getting back to running again. Please help me out, as this situation is really depressing me quite badly.

I have posterior knee pain (6 months now) that starts at the knee and radiates out to mid calf and mid thigh. It limits my range of movement even while rested, and once I have stood or walked (limped) for any amount of time it becomes excruciating to try and bend it at all. I had assumed it was sciatica (Dr on a telephone consultation had no questions). I have a horrible feeling it might be this. I don't want it to be this. Dorf is a big strong guy and I don't think he was faking the pain. I don't want that. The physio clinic would kick me out for using all the swearwords.
