STOP These 5 Habits or Your Knee Pain May NEVER Go Away!

[@gladysma308]

1:50 don't stand so straight that your knees are locked, but knees a bit bend. 4:20 don't stand long on one leg locked, better alternate 4:50. If your job needs long standing, have soft cushion inserts. 5:58 have a swirling chair to facilitate sit-stand 6:45 exercise after standing/sitting for an hour Don't kneel, don't cross legs too long, 10:47 take short strides in walking 12:00 sleep, have a pillow or wedge under your knees

Just wondering if you've made any modifications to your car and if you don't mind the question, what sort of car do you drive? We got him a Mitsubishi Triton because it was the only car/Ute for sale at the time, that he fit in 'adequately' but most of his pain still comes from the shape of the seat and lack of leg room. In hindsight we should have tried harder to get an automatic. He uses a lumbar support cushion but it decreases the leg room slightly more. Any tips on making driving more tall person friendly?

I'm doubled jointed so my knees lock back further. I think I have developed crepitus from it, because my knees crunch when I bend them and squat. I had an x-ray preformed from which the results came back normal (which i assume means no noticeable damage). I then started to develop pain as well as the crunching. I had since identified the pain and concluded that I have quad tendonitis. I've been doing some cross fibre massage which seems to be helping.

[@suemetcalf1849]

The trick is to keep checking your knee posture often throughout the day and correct yourself each time you notice you’ve locked knees. Tuck your pelvis a little, bend the knees and engage the thigh muscles (which helps strengthen them). I found I improved knee posture quickly. I need to work on smaller strides and avoid hell walking.

Laurie, Longer strides exercise has different purpose, that includes the Lounges movement. You need to incorporate this exercise in daily routine. Learn to do Taichi Exercise. It covers all the exercises that these doctors mentioned. I am a Taichi Instructor for 2 decades. My students are seniors n middle-agers. These doctors ARE NOT FLEXIBLE. Very awkward looking seniors compare to my senior taichi students. The shorter ones is more typical senior...perfect to practice taichi routine. Learn to meditate with cross-legged position. All the monks do that n it never bother them with knee pains. This skinny tall doctor knows nothing about knees.

[@bumbelbop411]

@@peacebe2u480 The monks may or may not have knee pain (you can't speak for "all monks") but the same goes for the majority of people in the past. It's the modern age that is the largest culprit regarding knee pain. We're meant to move way more than we are doing now and when we do walk/run/train we tend to do it wrong (because we do it so little), which also can result in pain. Knee pain isn't "natural" in the vast majority of cases: it's caused by an unnatural behaviour which is often related to our modern lifestyle. Taichi seems cool but it isn't some kind of perfect solution to knee pain. But you seem like a preacher so nothing I say will probably change your mind.

[@jogriffiths4797]

My mum had terrible knee problems in her later years,and found out it was because she’d always sat with one leg tucked underneath her.

I’m now rethinking all the things I do (sit Criss-cross applesauces nearly all day), sleep on my side (though I do now keep a pillow between my knees), etc. It might be worth you occasionally visiting a Physical Therapist or Chiropractor to just check your alignment if you’re already hearing the pops, cracks and snaps.

Very informative, but left me with questions. Please, make a video explaining why a properly performed lotus or modified lotus position is bad for ones back and knees. Also, include suggestions on a proper way to sit on a hard, flat surface, like a tiled floor. Thanks!

[@aliceharvey1226]

A M My thoughts on this are that lotus causes strain on your knees because they are not simply bending in the normal range. The leg also goes to the side, so if you attempt to bend the knee into that position, without turning the whole leg, starting from the hip, then you are putting all the torque on the knee. So if you learn how to turn the leg, then bend. the knee, you should be ok, of course different bodies have different strengths or problem spots. As for the back, sitting perfectly in lotus takes a strong, healthy back. Many yoga poses will help with this, however sitting on a cushion raises the hips, helping to take the strain off the back. And that’s all I can offer.,

I’m an X-ray tech and often have to stand for long periods of time on hard floors while wearing a lead apron which adds additional forward weight. Ironically what got my knees hurting the most is when I had to do desk work for 3 months because of Covid. Sitting for 8 hours made my knees hurt so bad and they are still killing me. I think perhaps I was over flexing my knees. It’s easier to continue to stand than abruptly start sitting for long periods of time. If I’m in a long surgery case I will often do leg stretches and sometimes wall sits if I’m in between periods where they need me to operate the equipment. Pushing heavy awkward equipment doesn’t help either. I was exercising pretty regularly until the gyms closed down. Now the only exercise available is walking which is what hurts the most. Thinking of getting a stationary bike to help strengthen the knees and give me some sort of cardio. Getting older sucks.

[@traceysouth1047]

I have the same problem and I imagine it's because sitting shortens the muscles that support the knee. (the Quads or Hamstrings ?) so when those are short and tight , it makes painful setup for knees ; I have RA and OA and sitting for even brief periods causes me more pain in knees than anything

[@vrajpatel461]

My pain is now disappearing. Thank you 🙏

[@jreiach]

So happy I came across you guys. Have you done a video for knees that are now “bone on bone”, not cartilage left? Knee replacement coming up once things are safe from COVID, but in the meantime I would like to strengthen the muscles around my knees. Thanks, guys. Great videos.

[@BobandBrad]

Glad you like the videos! Here is a video for bone to bone arthritis and pain in the knees. Hope this can help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6XWfGCMhNZqh9E

Bob and Brad, I always enjoy watching your videos as they are informative and I like your sense of humor too. I work as a professional painting contractor and have to get down on my knees to paint the lower part of walls sometimes and also baseboards. When I do this, I try to change the position of my legs as much as possible, but it is a movement that I cannot totally avoid because of the work I do.

Congrats Bob and Brad, the crew and Sam for your 2M subscribers...give/share more and you'll get more!

[@denasharpe2393]

Thank you...will surely share..this is great especially since we are so limited in being able to out and see a practitioner in person after so much sedentary sitting at home!! So grateful

Holy Moly ! 😮 Bob has 8 sisters and 2 brothers !!!

[@LadyKay78]

Thank you Docs! May I please ask, are compression socks good for standing long periods as well?

[@cockeyedoptimista]

For circulation, but they probably don't help your knees? Unless you wear therm on your knees..

My left knee got very sore due to getting into my Ford Expedition. Stepping onto the runner, stepping up on it and turning to sit in the driver’s seat started hurting my knee. I was stepping up on my left leg and rotating to sit. Now I step up with my right leg closer to the door hinge, step up put my left foot down and rotate to sit. The left knee is recovering.

[@daymaker5460]

When you bend the knee does the cartilage at the back of the knee come into hard contact there? I am just a curious cripple. Regards

[@KevsGuide]

i would think not. the knew is designed to bend. when you lock your knees, you are hyperextending the joint

[@sharifierstine9194]

I had arthroplasty on my knee in January and because of Covid couldn't get in when I was having trouble. I heard something pop and my whole leg swelled up. It took 3 days of flat on my back with my leg in the air. My knee is so sore and stiff, I have trouble walking, standing, going up and down stairs, down is worse. Shouldn't it be better by now? I've been doing therapy but it seems to make it worse. Any suggestions?

[@liorliv3Gaming]

Could you make a video on 5th metatarsal pain? And how to relieve the pain? :) Also thank you so much for this video :)

[@aiureapriniarba7]

I was 25 when I was started having severe knee pain in my right leg. After MRI and a lot of visits to a lot of doctors, apparently my cartilage has been thinning and that's what caused the pain. Practiced handbal and voleyball when i was younger and i can just imagine that constant shock my knees had from throwing myself on the hardwood floors to get the ball. Hurts when I think. I started exercising the correct way, removed dairy and meat from the diet, less inflammation in the joints and went to several physiotherapy procedures. Also had some hyaluronic injected into my right knee, rid me of the pain and thay peanut feeling i was feeling from having the patella rub onto the 🦴. Igh. Take care of your legs folks. Knees are crucial. But they don't teach you that in school unfortunately. Wish you all health!

[@selfactualizer2099]

you two are incredibly smart, your videos have popped up for literally every question I've had as an athlete

[@mrgruffy4499]

Also when standing, keep your feet apart more than normal to show a stable "stance" like those in the military. It projects self-confidence, and that you won't be pushed around.

[@FantazmagoricalOne]

I do that! 😁😁😁

Thanks for sharing those tips! I will translate them to my sister and dad because they have knee pain, I hope it works for them. I also realized I had bad knee posture so I'll fix that. Love from Peru

Found your video for bone on bone, pre surgery, video. Thanks.

Of course!

[@johnwalsh1648]

Love you guys. BUT re #4 Have you ever visited Japan, or other parts of Asia? A lot if human beings living there. No wonder our religions are so different (Catholics do kneel quite a lot). In Japan there is a sitting position called 'seiza." It's most common with women traditionally speaking, but both sexes can do it for extended periods of time, especially when it comes to formal and traditional ceremonies. (Remember, these are the people who sit on the floor) It's not the 'W' position you referred to, I'm sure you may know, or may easily look this up. My point, well we Mercans are raised differently to be sure, but in our culture, our religion, only the one knee position is sanctioned, that is, kneeling. There is the related gesture 'genu flexion' (genuflection in English), but it is only taken momentarily, to show respect, etc., like in the old old days of Europe when you did it in front of the monarch. And then there's India, oh yes. You guys must know all about yoga, surely. The caution about stressing joints is very necessary with Americans, but if they start slowly, as in a beginning yoga class, and obey the teacher not to overstretch or compress, they'll be fine. Also in the villages, in the islands of SE Asia there is what our bodybuilders are calling something like (village squat). It's a new trend or craze with some bodybuilders (who are doing squats all the time anyway). I've seen the old men (often with their roosters on display) squat all the way down (as if on a primitive toilet) and hold the position, perhaps swaying from time to time, for as long as an hour, or as long as the rain hasn't started yet and we've no work to do. So, my point is just, can you dig it?

[@spicymustard15]

you guys look soo much younger and radiant compared to your videos from 4+ years ago! omg we love to see it!!

[@KINGTHEYORKIE]

He say “young looking 70”. The other doctor said “oh sure” 😂😂. Thank you guys this was helpful now I know why my knees hurt

I have a job where I'm standing for long periods and I thought it was perfectly normal to stand with your knees locked. I have this nagging knee pain. going to try this!
