Everything you say is true to my experience. I'm 72 and about 25 years ago my left knee was deteriorating. I walked with a neighbor sometimes and it would get worse. I took glucosamine 1500 mg daily and within a few months, the knee was healed. Still works great. Most of my friends, even younger ones, have artificial joints. I notice all the ones that work out at the gym on those machines end up with joint replacement. I keep thinking it's repetitive motion. Anyway, this is a channel I will be suggesting to friends and family. Thanks!

I have a 'lazy meniscus' in my right knee and issues with my SI joint. I found El Paso on YT a couple of years ago. I swear by him and compliment his exercises with those by the Seniors specialist physio at HT Physio also on YT. My osteo checked out both sites and approves. Both of them have exercises that are very doable and stackable as you improve and remind you constantly to listen to your own body and its needs. I use them alongside walking, sea swimming and add on the Fabulous 50s YT workout exercises. I have no need for expensive gym membership at all. The only time I now have trouble with my knee is when I stop doing exercises for a few days due to long haul flights or illness. At 61, I'm fitter than I was at 41 and my knees and back feel good. Gyms do not cater for the over 60s, especially if, heaven forbid, we have not been a gym junkie all our lives tsk tsk. They just have no clue about the different needs of seniors. It's one size fits all.

It was suggested a knee replacement a couple years ago, Walking alot was absolutely the worst thing for my knee but I couldn't help it because of my job. I have since been able to NEARLY ( not totally) eliminate my knee pain, Here's what has continued to work for me. I've done this all together at one time so I can't say which has worked the most 1, DRINK lots of liquids (intra workout, post work out) ,and especially WATER 2. I take types 1,2,3,4,5 COLLOGEN POWDER (It's all combined into one product) mixed in my drinks 3. I always trained legs ( squat, hack squat, leg press,leg curls ) but put more emphasis on doing lots slow and controlled LEG EXTENSIONS but not as heavy working sets, 4. At my gym I'm lucky enough to have a stand up RED LIGHT BED which I use everytime I go to the gym, about 6 days per week, 5. I regularly take OMEGA 3 FISH OIL 6. I try NOT TO KNEEL ( like on the floor) as much as possible. The combination has worked for me,,If I had to guess I'd say my knee is 85 to 90 % better than it was...Best, Steve

I'm a dancer. We always wrapped our knees to keep them warm. Now that I'm older, I still do. I stay flexible and even with slight inflammation, I'm still able to do liw step aerobics to stay limber. An odd experience when I fell years ago released all the tension from my bad knee and now I have absolutely no pain. I thought I had broken my knee so I rested for ten minutes before I tried to get up. Shocked to find that nothing was broken and that cracking sound was no less than the knee popping back into place, like cracking my knuckles for relief, amazingly, no pain for years!! I walk half hour every day. Go downstairs backwards leaning into the steps, to keep my buns in shape and not fall down steps. Odd, but it works and keeps my elbows elongated and my knees don't have to support my weight forward.

@@Ses458 either long winter socks with toes cut out so you can cover your knees or wrap them with 6" elastic bands. Get the longest and widest they have. Also push your knee cap in from the side.

[@physicalintellegenc]

Weakness in the gluteal area will also expose weakness in your core stability development too and believe it or not ,incredibly awesome person your core strength &stabilization also involves your Keagle muscles, muscles that are used to control waste elimination: #1&#2 (potty). I would be developing your scapulo-thoracic strength and stability of your upper back and to stabilize your core muscles which involve your transverse abdomen inner and outer obliques ,quadrates lumborum ,gluteus maximus ,gluteus minimus gluteul mobility, strength in your hip stabilizers. There are an abundance of them Adductors are most neglected part on the human body most importantly developing your glutes In isolation. If you’re doing exercises and your medial hamstring muscles start cramping the exercise you were doing is being dominated by your hamstring muscles not your glutes try internally, rotating your leg as you do, exercises like reverse glute raises, even your side leg rays try to internally rotate the hip/the femur bone as you lift your leg backwards.

Hi, I appreciated your video. FYI I had allergic arthritis years ago that came up very quickly. I could no longer climb stairs, but had to sit on the steps and go up backwards. I could no longer drive. We changed vehicles so my knees wouldn’t have to bend and so I could hold my knees because they jiggled so much. A friend gave me a book by Dr Mandell (or Mandrell) with the words allergy and arthritis in the subject. As he treated allergies his arthritis patients improved. I was able to identify the allergy: amalgam fillings. I told the dentist I was allergic to silver, and he told me I would probably be just fine. Well, obviously not after several years! Once removed and replaced by resin-based fillings which are stronger by the way, the arthritis started to heal and a lot of other nagging problems like numbness in my face started to go away.

I am a survivor of Psoriatic Arthritis, and in the first year of its onset, I was bed ridden for months. So much pain and swelling in my knees, it took the Doctors ages to diagnose, but eventually they put me onto 20mg of Methotrexate (once a week) certainly eased the pain and the swelling, but I hated how you had to have a blood test every month or so to check the meds were not damaging the liver. After a few years of being on it, I weaned myself completely from the drug, and changed my diet to an anti inflammatory diet, and started taking MSM daily. I walk and exercise most days, and feel fantastic. My knees are still an odd shape (probably some calcification) but I am so grateful that I can walk miles without pain anymore. I have been off the meds now for four or more years, fingers crossed it won't come back.

Thank you for all the information you share. Actually, I've learned more from these videos in the past month than in the several the years I've been dealing with bilateral knee arthritis. With walking, I'm good for short distances, but the pain ramps up after that. I was in misery last month on vacation that involved airports and lots of walking. Although I had a great time, couldn't wait til I got back home. It was very humbling to be pushed in a wheelchair at the airport (but much needed), as well as in a wheelchair in a casino during the vacation. Don't want to be in a wheelchair again, but at the same time, there's no way I could have walked that distance or been on my feet for such "long" periods of time, either. I'm following my gut feeling on taking Aleve or Motrin to help with the pain, and realized the meds really do next to nothing for my pain, so I stopped them a few days ago - and oddlly, I feel good and the pain kinda feels less. I'm very conscious about how I move (no pivoting), how I walk, walk down stairs or downhill, and avoid uneven surfaces.

[@isabellegiorgis2975]

That wheelchair service is the best! I could not do airport without it. Not only, the walking would be too painful but they know where they are going, and you get priority in every lines. Don't be ashamed to use this service. I am not.

I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in my neck 10 years ago. The doctor mentioned surgery to have plates put into my neck but suggested physiotherapy first. I have always exercised and at the time was training as a yoga teacher. The physiotherapist gave me some exercises and mentioned that my fitness level would be beneficial to the management of my condition. Since being diagnosed I have continued strengthening and mobilizing my neck, with an awareness of my alignment and posture. I never suffer from pain in my neck now, despite remembering how degraded my vertbrea and discs looked on the X-ray. I truly believe gentle stretching to release tension in the soft tissues around the joint alongside strengthening the surrounding muscles to support the joint, is the answer...

I'm 45 and have severe OA. When I was 26 in 2004, I had a severe sinus infection that went up to the brain and lesions in the spinal cord. I woke up mute and hemiplegic on my right side. I didn't actively move my muscles for 8 weeks from an autoimmune disease called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. I've been left with massive spasticity and have an intrathecal pump delivering baclofen, bupvicaine and dilaudid in my spine and the device housing the meds is under the skin in my right buttock. I have been in and out of PT for years but never for this awful OA in both knees. It's at a point where I cannot drive and my quality of life is in the dumps. With all the spasticity and imbalance of muscle tone on my right side I was fearing total knee replacements. Thank you for this information as I will focus more on my glutes.

Osteo Arthritis is caused when the joint is out of alignment, which causes the cartilage to wear out. So you must strengthen the legs adequately to put the joint into alignment. Then you can exercise. Been a massage therapist for 25 years and have always been able to tell that the knee joints hurt when it is out of alignment. ..always. Exercising with a joint out of alignment, only wears it out. That is why leg strength is the key to eliminating most all pain thru out the whole body.

Hi there. I started with knee arthritis back in 2008 and it's worse today. I used to drink down bottles of Advil because in the beginning I had to keep my job which involved lots of walking in downtown Oakland. About a month or two ago I had a fall in my kitchen from an office chair. I landed on my gluteus maximus area and thought I could get up the old fashioned way, just get up on your knees. I tried it, only to wince from pain and sit on the floor. I scooted on my butt from the kitchen to the living room where i grabbed 2 pillows under my knees and got up that way. So now a couple months later, all hell has broken loose in my knees. For a month or so now I am awakened with knee pain never having had it when sleeping before. My knee creaks like an old tugboat and pops a lot. I am following your videos and they might help but if I don't do it more than once, I know it won't work. Your videos are very good and informative. My last ortho took xrays about 5 years ago and said my kneecap is "shattered" because of an earlier fall on the sidewalk hitting knees first. So, the right knee is very painful, the left knee not so much. I am using a walker in my house now when I never ever had to. So I will continue to follow your videos and hope for improvement because I am not getting a knee replacement! Thank you, Pat, San Jose, CA

This video earned a sub for the channel from me. I'm a 55 year old mountainbiker and farmworker. I've just been diagnosed with moderate to severe left knee osteoarthritis. Biking doesn't affect my pain level, but walking does. I don't understand it, but I'm here to learn. Great video.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Paul! Thank you for your wonderful message and your amazing support! 🌟 We appreciate it. We're so sorry to hear about your struggle with mild to severe knee osteoarthritis in your left knee. However, it's great to hear that you're not experiencing any pain. That's definitely encouraging! When it comes to biking, we'd like to offer you some observations to consider. Biking can be beneficial if you're able to engage your glutes during the exercise. It's important to pay attention to whether you're predominantly using your quads rather than your glutes while biking, as this could potentially worsen your knee problem. After your bike ride, take a moment to assess if your quads and hamstrings feel more fatigued compared to your glutes. By focusing on activating your glutes during biking, you may be able to alleviate some strain on your knees and promote better muscle balance. In case you are interested we do have additional information and exercises in a playlist we have compiled for knee arthritis help. You can check it out here: “Knee Arthritis Pain Help” kzbin.info/aero/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Wow, thank you! I'm heading out tomorrow for a 2.5 - 3 hour cycle. It's about 1 hour of climbing and 2 hours descending on very rough trails. Last time I did it, I had some discomfort in the knee, but I found I could get relief by stretching and backwards treadmill walking when I got home. It's interesting to me how the rough descending down the trail causes more discomfort than the climbing part. I have had to switch to flat pedals after years of being clipped-in and I've reduced the discomfort a bit. Tomorrow, I'll pay close attention which muscles I'm using more than others and which are more fatigued afterward. Thank you so much!

Interesting ride today. I was paying attention to which muscles were doing the most work on the climbs and I can say definitely my quads were working hardest on the uphill. On the descents, my calf muscles we protesting (the majority of the time I was standing up on the pedals.) I've been biking for years and I've never stopped to consider which muscle group is doing what. Once back at the parking lot, I was limping again as I loaded the bike back into the van. I find it fascinating how a person can mountainbike for 3 hours without pain, but can't walk 50 yards without limping. Also, how would a rider change the cycling habits of a lifetime and switch to a different muscle group? Love the channel 🤙

She had the surgery, which did not help, so it was advised to have another, and four surgeries later, she had to undergo an implant of some kind to deal with the pain. I never understood the issue, but wondered if it was an emotional thing. Pain can make people desperate. Finding the least invasive solution can be easier than we think.

I was scheduled for a TKR and in a lot of knee pain. I started doing glute exercises and my knee pain went away. I told them I wanted to reschedule some time in the future. I might be kicking the can down the road, but I'm totally pain free today. I'll wait until the pain affects my quality of life before I do that major surgery.

Thank you. I just subscribed because I know what you are saying is true from my own experience. I will now spend time following your exercise advice.

wearing flip flops or shoes without any support makes my knees worse. going up and down stairs especially when carrying groceries is bad. When I wake up I take my hand held shower wand and shower my knees with cold water. It instantly helps by getting rid of inflammation, taking golden milk every day, and small movements in different directions where it hurts a little increases my range of motion. Also isometrics- which is stiffening my legs and relaxing them four or five times takes away the pain as well. It also strengthens the muscles around the knees. Massaging your knees with olive oil or just rubbing them increases circulation. Also hot baths with epsom salts. If your feet hurt sometimes, I soak them in warm water, ginger paste (found in the produce section) or fresh ginger minced like a tablespoon and lemon juice (1/4c) takes away inflammation and helps your feet to recover in minutes. Feels great! I also have begun taking collagen supplement that I am sure is helping as well. I have tried soaking golden raisins in vodka and that helps inflammation too. Just several of these raisins a day can also help.
