Top 5 Exercises To Start Doing To Successfully Avoid A Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery is recommended too soon and too much for people that have knee osteoarthritis. The reason is that people tend to get sent to surgeons too often and too soon and they are trying to do the best they can with what they know.
But avoiding knee replacement surgery is a new specialty that is slowly growing. There are not many healthcare professionals that understand how to help someone avoid knee replacement surgery.
Most physical therapists are great at helping people AFTER knee replacement surgery, but aren’t 100% sure what to do to help their patients avoid it.
If you're suffering from knee arthritis and end up going to physical therapy, you would end up doing exercises that are very similar to what people who are recovering from knee replacement surgery are doing.
This is not right!!! And don’t get mad at the physical therapists! They’re doing the best they can with what they know too, just like the knee surgeons.
The exercises covered in this video are the best 5 to start to avoid a knee replacement. But this is just the start!
Fully recovering to where you can get back to “normal” again - like being active in the home and maybe even exercising - takes much more exercise than this.
You’ll have to get much stronger and more flexible. And it will take your time, commitment, and dedication.
Our 28 Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program can help you achieve more knee flexibility and strength.
It's a 100% online and on-demand program for improving knee health. It's packed with exercises, advice and coaching from Dr. David.

Thank you doctor . I followed as you said and in three days I feel a lot of difference in my knee now. It's much better than before. I was in a desperate position before watching your videos. I'm relieved now that the pain is much less than before. God bless you.

Thank you for sharing these exercises. I will definitely try them as k have been struggling with horrible knee pain (bone on bone)

[@MsAalston]

I am 51, I had the knee scope done on right knee in November of 2020. I had to even go back to get cortisone shots because it was hurting after wards. I'm overall healthy but I noticed I have knee aches, and pain and didn't know why. I realized that I have been irritating my knee more by doing spinning, with intensity, and walking exercises. Once again thank you for this info. I plan to start doing these exercises this week and only do spinning with no intensity. My husband has already had a knee replacement on his left knee; now he is having issues with his right. If these exercises help me I will definitely order the 28 day program.

Dr. David. I was seeing a physio therapist about a gr 2 gastroc muscle tear with swelling. He gave me a firm resistance band to improve strength in the muscle. In doing so, I felt the tibia squeezing in to the femur. Subsequent MRI found a medial meniscus posterior root tear and extrusion. I have no pain or swelling and no mobility or flexibility problems. I get some clicking and soft grinding at times. I enjoy watching your video and practise the exercises esp the glutes. Thanks

Working on day 10 of focus on glutes and awareness of how we prioritize quads on almost everything we do putting pressure on knees. Observed how even working in the garden on a bench stretched quads accidentally leading to knee pain. Trying to change walking & elliptical technique to focus on glutes. Doing both floor and standing glutes exercises. Already feel some improvement in knee pain.

Thank you! I was stage 3 medial arthritis knee diagnosed since 2017. After having a brain trauma accident 2018 (at work) I have to be more or less be housebound for three to four years. So my knee improved tremendously I could go up and down stairs like a teenager lol! BUT now brain is healing I am walking 2 miles a day (with stick ) I fekt great until knee swelled like a football and still kept on cause no pain..Now in major flare can,t move at all with pressure and pain. It’s a beautiful spring day here in the United Kingdom and I can’t even go out for a very small 10 minute walk but guess what I found your channel!>👏👏 I know what is wrong I put too much pressure on myself and walking for one hour a day the way I was doing it is no good. Doctor said rest take medication. Ice it…Then go back walking slowly! But I’m going to take your advice .I’m going to wait until the swelling goes down completely %, even if it take months and then I’m gonna do all the exercises you show and tighten up my butts. I don’t wanna go into stage 4..I.m 66 and I’m going to do everything I can to keep it as it is. God bless you.

[@GSalem]

Dear Dr. Middaugh : I am a very active 76 year old female. I played tennis and table tennis all my life and added pickle ball in the last 8 years. I injured my knee 6 months ago on the pickleball court and was in pain day and night, limping around trying different exercises for months, and nothing helped. I was so depressed and worried that I would never be able to run after the ball again, not even walk without pain and would be trapped home alone. Surgery terrified me. I stumbled on your website and was so impressed with your knowledge and expertise and the energy you spent to put us on the right path to recovery. You enlightened us with details of causes, different ways of dealing with the pain, surgery, sleeves and braces and therapy. You made me so well informed and I chose your therapy. By religiously following your instructions, resting the knees, staying off play, doing the simple exercises you prescribed throughout the day, quad massaging, not putting weight or pressure on the knees, engaging the glutes, not the quads, (a wake up call) walking like a penguin, feet turned out, glutes tight lol.. (It was discreetly done as, unlike Texas, It was cold in New Jersey and I wore a long jacket :). I used ice for pain and heating pad at night. I was your faithful student. YOU SAVED ME..I am now back to tennis, rushing the net and resuming pickleball and pin pong play, being with people and smiling at my success and thinking of you. You are the best. You are sincere, you are a good man and a great therapist. Your preach treating the symptom instead of putting a temporary band aid on the problem in the form of harmful drugs. I live a natural lifestyle, I always look for natural solutions in a natural diet and healthy lifestyle. You are helping a lot of people here that want to help themselves. They must do the work and be consistent and follow you instructions and be patient. May you and your family live a healthy long life. With gratitude. Grace, NJ.

Hi Doc. Thank you very much for suggesting these exercises. I am a daily runner (about 10-12km). I have a knee pain. I guess these will relieve my pain. I will update after 3-4 weeks.

[@newyorkguy158]

Hi... love the video. Have mild OA in terms of symptoms. No problem walking, just when I get up from sitting for a period of time, or from bed in the morning. Need about 20-30 seconds to fully extend my right leg. Then I'm ok. Just a little discomfort if I contract the muscles in the leg. I wonder if you have an opinion about the exercises for knee pain of the knees-over-toes-guy, starting with walking backwards and tibialis raises.

Hi Dr. David, Thank you for all of your advice. I have a question. I am 76 and still working. I do have knee arthritis. my question is. I have to work 2 days a week on my feet. Would it benefit me to rest my knees at some point during the day? And for how long should I do it to continue to work for the rest of the day? Or should I do it a couple times a day? I thank you again for your videos. I have started to follow you faithfully.

[@paulbuelterman392]

I started your prevent hip surgery exercises 3 weeks ago, and just started your knee exercises today. I also ride a recumbent bike for 15 or more miles every other day. Lately the bike riding has caused some knee and hip tenderness. So I cut down on intensity, going a couple of mph slower. That has helped considerably. Walking also has causes quite a bit of tenderness when walking a kilometer or so. Should I discontinue walking and biking? I’d rather not…. I am 77 and do not want to lose the fitness I now have. Thanks.

What about strengthening exercises for the legs using progressive overload

[@user-zg9ed5ls1x]

These are great! Can you help out with tight IT band and doctor is recommending PT and mentioned a procedure similar to acupuncture to the IT band

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Julie, thank you for the kind words! Not sure exactly what the doctor was mentioning but it sounds like it may be dry needling. If so, there have been many patients that find relief with this procedure. An important thing to look at for IT band tightness is your Tensor Fascia Lata muscle (which connects to the IT band). This muscle can become tight, which would in turn cause the IT band to become tighter as well. If you are able to massage that muscle and find relief then that may be your problem.

[@user-zg9ed5ls1x]

[@jeanpierrespa]

My name is Jean. I have bone on bone arthritis. I have no pain in my left knee. However, I have stiffness when walking in my right knee. I started having pain at the area of the popiteal fossa then it moved over to the Tibia. I sometimes feel what seems like a sack of liquid which when I massage goes away but it is quite painful when it happens. Initially I took a Tylenol but no longer in need of any pain medication. I have difficulty going up stairs which has improved a little although I feel restrictions in my knee when walking. My knee also feels like it is giving way but I have never had a fall. I can bend my knee without discomfort. I have seen a surgeon who cannot understand how I do not have pain. I have been referred to a clinic for cortisone injections. I do not like the idea but the restrictions in my knee has impacted my quality of life. This has been going on for over 8 months. I have just watched one your videos about strengthening your butt muscles which I intend to work on and hope this will strengthen my knees and stop it from having way. I am also wondering about hyaluronic acid injection not sure if this would help at this stage. I am desperately trying to avoid surgery. What are your advice to me? My MRI indicated my bone on bone has been going on for the pass 20 years. I think my legs are quite strong. I can adduct and abduct 130 to 170 lbs so think as you have stated" work on your butt muscles"

[@margaretteleekong5411]

A few years ago I was told i needed total knee replacement. I wasnt in pain then. But now if I don't use d stationary bike often I am in pain and I now take pain killers once or twice weekly which I dont know like.

What are your thoughts on using kinesiology tape for your arthritis knee

[@majid5898]

Hey David, recently I subscribed your channel and watch your videos regularly. I'm running 62 yrs. In the mid age I used to do exercises like jogging , run, walking, swimming etc. Sometimes practiced yoga. From 2013 I used to play golf regularly. But at times I fell pain on the inner side of my right knee. Recently in last February the pain became severe and stopped playing golf. Finally as per doctor's advice I did MRI. The impression is like following:- 1. Minimal joint effusion 2.Grade2 signal change in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. 3.ACL injury with small ganglion cyst on PCL. The docto comented as OA advised me some medication and advised for gym, cycling and swimming. I'm following the advice without significant improvement. Could you please advise me what to do?

Limited funds so I’m praying it will help. Both menisci are gone in my knees. Losing weight is another goal also. I’m praying surgery is not needed at all.

How are you doing, Marcia?

Hello Dr David , do you have exercises for hand arthritis?

Dear Sir; Thank you so much for your ACL related video. I hope you give my question’s answer ; such as : My ACL ligament tear- Right knee( confirmed by MRI & also Dr. Physically observed ) this February 2023 And I appointed with a few DR. & they said to go with acl surgery ( by using biodegradable screw, etc.) . I already booked for surgery next month BUT WHEN I SAW YOUR VIDEOS IN KZbin I GOT A HOPE OF HEALING ACL LIGAMENT NATURALLY WITHOUT SURGERY. In My injured knee no pain & muscle also little bit weak & muscle getting smaller than my Good knee. Can you please let me know details & what’s kinds of Exercises I have to do ?? Please please answer.

DR David thank you for being you because you are helping so many people. I am Evelyn Robinson from Maryland with the bone on bone both knees and I watched the sciatica video and I got mixed up because my thigh started hurting so I stopped for a bit. I've got the glut exercise but I have to get a video. GOD BLESS YOU.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey Farida! We are so sorry you had to have your knee replaced! Our advice is to consider doing these exercises instead: “Knee Replacement Help” kzbin.info/aero/PLJVIPiFvv1maC3n6M0ksF5F17DPDcI98a

Dr. a 70 year old here with bad knees and shoulders due to arthritis. I have had cracking and pain when squatting on an angled surface located at the TIBIALIS ANTERIOR. The pain and cracking has been in existence for about 2 years. I do those exercises shown in this video, slow progress. Any ideas on what to do for the TIBIALIS ANTERIOR. THANK YOU.

[@epmanualphysicaltherapy]

Hey James, tibialis anterior pain is not usually connected directly to knee arthritis. You may have something else going that might need to be evaluated by a professional in person. However, if it is progressing, even if it's slow...you may actually be doing the right thing!

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you very much, I failed to mention that my fibula head locks from time time, especially when I stretch in the morning. I will speak with someone for sure, thank you again.

[@nurjehansadat748]

When you have 3 compartment osteoarthritis with almost no cartilage left how do you avoid replacement?
