[@TheLindyhopgirl]

When you bent your knees and sat on your feet on the floor and said ppl with knee injuries often can't do that, THAT IS ME. Ever since I tore the meniscus in college. So glad to have some exercises to help my right knee, that acknowledge the struggle!

[@trumpflavourednugget9325]

Literally my left knee 😢

[@johnsammers]

This is me as well. Hooray Tom! 🎉

[@dannykolasinski-nm6yn]

I’ve added this to my daily routine. It’s only been a couple of weeks but I can now bend my left knee further than 90 degrees without being terrified and in severe pain. Thank you so much.

[@dannykolasinski-nm6yn]

Since this comment my knees have further improved. Not pain free but normal range of movement. It’s a Christmas miracle.

[@dannykolasinski-nm6yn]

Another update… I can now bend my knee in full range of motion with pain at 0.5 out of 10. I can also do a couch stretch pain free. A miracle!

[@nickjamesdare7345]

Absolutely brilliant. My knees have been going downhill for 7 months and all your other knee related videos have proved too difficult to sustain. This is just what I need.

[@TomMorrison]

Great to hear! 😄

[@ayemiksenoj5254]

I love stuff like this! It's so important to do the slower light movements and yet exercise/fitness channels miss this. I've realized as I age I just can't skip this and go right into a workout anymore. Plus, its relaxing and helps me focus my brain as well. Thank you!

[@TomMorrison]

You're so welcome!! Glad it’s helpful!!

[@StacyTrinidad]

That last exercise was challenging.........but I liked it!!!!!

[@DiMakingiteveryday]

Thank you Tom! I’m a professional driver and after a 12 hour shift,I feel my legs have lost 90% of my flexibility. Thank you for being a big part of my wellness journey

[@TomMorrison]

Will be really good to get into a habit of moving before you go out and then when you get home too!

[@americasariesson1862]

Ayyy- men driver! Especially if you keep those doors closed for hours - knees hips back 😤

[@jeangomez-xf5sq]

I’m a professional driver too and my knees are a mess! Just trying to get some of that mobility back!

[@cynthiaclark4990]

Thank you so much! I will try this after work. I fell on a very hard surface when I was 28 (1986!). They wanted to operate but I refused. I opted out for weight lifting and keeping all the muscles around my knee strong. Well, It is no longer 1986 and I am not the slender young woman than I used to be. I know that some of my issue also. I fell twice over the last year and both of my knees have suffered as a result. I want to get back to being able to go hiking or even just walking on the Appalachian Trail, which is about 30 -45minutes from my house. Getting my mobility back is part of it. I am getting a little bit better everyday with my mobility.

[@TomMorrison]

Would be a good one to try a few times per week yeah!

[@natc4941]

Thank you so so much Tom for sending me the link to this. This is absolutely amazing video and I have started using this video now to try and strengthen my knees. You are excellent at explaining the hows and the whys and it never occurred to me that things I was doing was all in the wrong way. But I feel doing this and over the next few weeks I will for sure feel a massive improvement. Thank you very much for all your help and support. Wish you all the best and thank you for everything you do for everyone and the guidance and care you have to help everyone ❤

[@TomMorrison]

Excellent to hear!!! Hope to see you progress onto the more challenging ones too in future!

You’re very welcome! Yes always important to keep the joints happy!

[@fatpaato6426]

Hi Tom, just wanted to say thank you so much for this video - my primary exercise is classical ballet and jazz dance, and have noticed some tenderness/pain developing in my left knee recently. The elevated split squat and the hip hinge particularly have been very helpful, my knee feels much better after only a few sessions. Thank you 😊

[@TomMorrison]

Brilliant! So glad it's helped!

[@RemyNas24]

Just sat and watched the knee video. (Cat sleeping on me!). Definitely going to start this in the morning. Thanks.

Just done this workout. Not a lot of movement with fused big toes and painful calf and hamstring. But going to give it a go and hopefully will see improvement.

[@NicoleMachele]

Wow! I just did this and the pain in my left knee has gone 👏🏻👏🏻 I know I need to keep working on it as I’ve had issues with this knee off and on since I was 12 (I’m 54 now) and the last 8 weeks has been constant pain… I will definitely keep this up 🤩

[@TomMorrison]

Awesome!! Keep it up! Our knee blog is great to check out at tommorrison.uk

[@kateallert2613]

This is so helpful. Exactly what I need. I feel I’m hitting a block with SMM because my knees are really unhappy with the lunges and squats. I’ll focus on these for a bit and see what happens. Thank you, Tom!

OH!! I needed this so much. Since turning 51 (so over a year) I've been having so many issues with my knees. Even though I was training to throw shot put, discus, javelin and hammer, my knees have been going downhill.

[@LauraDiSabatino]

my new favorite routine of motions. even though these simple actions tire me out, they also take away most of my pain and instability for the day, starting from the very first time I tried it

[@TomMorrison]

Absolutely brilliant! Well done! 😄

[@dianejackson7336]

Thank you for your amazing help, you explain it so well and I love that you show us how to do it as too. I have RA and osteoarthritis and my right knee is worse at bending then the left and I would love to be able to garden more or on my knees in the house and without looking so ugly when I have to get up.

[@TomMorrison]

This will definitely be a good one to do regularly!!

[@bcat1766]

My right knee has been very painful for a few weeks now. After following you through on this video its already feeling much better. Thanks. Will definitely find time to do this daily 👍

[@TomMorrison]

Brilliant!!

[@DP-cz9xi]

Osgoode Schlater, I had to google it. I've had it my whole life. Agony when kneeling. I couldn't understand why no one else had an issue. Now I know. You're a wealth of information.

[@user-bd9qk5wg8b]

I've been watching you for a while. I passed your name on to my brother, who today, said he followed one of your videos. I decide to do the same. I e had some foot and k ee pain recently so I gave this one a try. I think it will help quite a bit. Thanks for you enthusiasm and silliness to keep it fun.

[@TomMorrison]

That's great!

[@JimCPettigrew]

Thank you for posting Tom - just what I needed after my left knee is feeling tight to bend fully backwards towards my glutes after probably too many Trail running miles last year; great exercises I can now do in my studio...👍

[@dianejackson7336]

Thank you for all the great help and the way you explain how to do each one and the visual is amazing. So I have RA and osteoarthritis, can I do these as well, my right knee is the worst and being able to bend it is awful and painful. I would love to be able to get on the floor again without it looking so ugly.

[@lazur1]

A great alternative for those who find the more athletic versions to be unnecessarily challenging.

[@misspiggy9867]

Hi Tom. Thank you for this. My knees are definitely delicate! The feet-on-chair exercises were painful near the end range of motion, but I will give these a try (but avoid the painful range)and see if I can get stronger. I'm hopeless at the toe-bility too, I hope that will improve.

[@eugeneysaye2685]

That will

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

I had a body boarding incident three years ago. A wave hit my bent left knee and my right bent knee. I didn’t know it at the time, but it tore meniscus in both knees and did other damage that I never addressed. I’m now dealing with OA and my right fibula pops out at the most unexpected times. It hurts like heck and sometimes very difficult to get popped back in. This has had me stop everything. I don’t walk. I don’t bodyboard I don’t mountain bike. I’m 68 and was an avid hiker and mountain biker. I’ve gone through PT had the MRI etc. and the fibula issue stumped everybody. I figured it out on my own, but don’t know how to rehab it. I will start out slowly with these exercises and see how I progress. Thank you for considering people who are struggling with more in-depth issues.💜💜

[@TomMorrison]

Definitely would be great to see you getting back to some things again! Even if you need to start with a stationary bike, not as fun but may lead to more!

[@Brik-in-the-sticks]

BRILLIANT, THANKS TOM. These exercises are now essential for my confidence to use my knees. Both have been fully replaced now, after 6 operation dramas to keep me walking up straight. Because of this follow along and daily "can't sit on your heals in combination with 2 minutes slow standing march"; Now, after only 6 weeks, I can sit on my knees, deep crouch, and balance on 1 foot without holding on

Wow amazing! You legend 💪💪

Yes!! Osgood Schlatters!!! That is exactly why I'm here. My daughter has had knee pain from this for 2 years now. She can't kneel or squat and if she is down on the ground she needs help to stand up. Are these an ok place for her to start as tolerated for strengthening and lengthening the surrounding muscles and tendons? Do you have any other things you recommend??

[@TomMorrison]

I was able to manage mine for a long time with lunge variations and single leg balance, I eventually got shockwave therapy on it and it hasn’t bothered me since, it’s incredibly painful to get done though

I even felt a subtle pain during chair split squats while following this video. Hopefully, I will be able to do this everyday to see what it can do.

[@TomMorrison]

Yes gentle loaded movements to bring it back up to strength, would focus on your hips and feet for now

[@r8chlletters]

If you rock forward at the hip for the last one you’ll be doing what is often referred to as a “dickie bird” or drinking bird and it’s amazing for hip strengthening 🤍

Knee replacements are tricky as the range will always be limited, it’s best with in person guidance unfortunately, may have to try a few different professionals to get some good guidance
