Thank you Sam. I had knee injury and rested. Now ready to do strengthening exercises. Your instructions are excellent, just enough to slowly work back to normal. Greetings from Vancouver Island, Canada🇨🇦🇬🇧

Thank you! I’ve struggled with knee pain and arthritis for years. Your explanations are more helpful than any I’ve heard, including from my personal therapists.

I had Knee surgery a year ago, this is quite helpful! Also as a Martial Arts Instructor I find the seated leg extensions are are genius for kicking training.

Thank you. I had a bad fall and shattered knee cap and have plate in knee about year and half ago. Needing more surgery soon. I liked your exercises. Felt good. Thank you.

I am so pleased I have found your video. I am waiting for results of scans and hopefully a knee replacement. Until a decision is made I wanted to do some specific exercises for my knee. Could do most, but not the ankle on opposite knee or standing up. Any alternative for the ankle on knee?

Hi Sam, my doctor recommended this video and I am looking forward to starting it. My knees have flared up over the last week with a lot of crunching and clicking so hoping these exercises help. Thanks 👍

Thank you so much for this much needed exercise. I’ve been walking dogs for the past 8 or 9 years, which has put so much stress on my knees and one has become quite painful. I’ve been doing some gentle Pilate, and your knee exercises is going to add to my routine workout. Much appreciate it.

I need to get a new knee, but I have been refused because I'm 49 so my doctor said about strength exercises for the knees, just wondering would these exercises help/work
