I just discovered your channel in August 2022. Then I went on a hiking vacation to the Rocky Mountains in September and came back with painful knees. Most of the pain resolved after I got back to low country, but it turns out I have a >1cm tear in the posterior part of the medical meniscus in one knee that causes pain in some circumstances. So I was attracted to this video by the reference to knee meniscus surgery in the title -- the local orthopedic surgeon has offered this surgery to me, but I decided to try strengthening my quads and hamstrings, and hip muscles, first. (Being over 60 y/o I thought it best to allow for slow healing and see how good I could get the knee without surgery.) The cites to papers about studies of knee meniscus surgeries in people with my kind of tear (middle aged to old folks with a degenerative tear rather than one from a sudden trauma) have been really valuable to me! So thank you very much for the info.

Thank you so much. Your careful, concise instruction on assessing our own body areas of weakness /tightness is singularly outstanding! I am a 74 year old sculptor who cant work anymore after 12 years of ruptured lumbar disc pain that has morphed in S I joint pain that was debilitating. Now your description of Anterior Pelvic Tilt describes me to a T. This condition-is causing all of the hip and groin pain that sometimes affects the knees. The problem in going to all the therapist is they do their thing to relieve your pain but they don’t tell you why they’re doing it and exactly which muscles are being affected. Much less to avoid making certain movements that have cause and now are aggravating the condition. Therefore you never get well because you don’t know what movement you were doing that are causing what you have. This is what makes you outstanding as a body movement consultant. I don’t want to just say trainer because there’s so many out there who called them selves trainer but don’t know anything about how to avoid further damaging their client. They mean well but you end up with weeks of recovery and pain. I am so grateful for your wonderful instructive videos!

Awesome advice. I've been doing a lot of squats, lunges, sumo squats with weights to improve my hip strength and neglecting stretching so of course I'm getting stiff and starting to get some pain again because something is still not quite right with my hip mechanics. Still doing FAI fix and sometimes forgetting the basics.

[@michaelgadalla3764]

Would you please do a video on spondylolisthesis please and the exercises I need to do. I’ve diagnosed with grade 2 and want to avoid surgery.

[@tcookie]

I really appreciate this channel's 'second opinion' considerations of surgery. I recently started PT for hip and periformis issues and it's motivating to think that the small exercises I do now can prevent surgery, with all its attendant risks, later.

[@jhezzy]

This is so helpful. Very much appreciated!

[@bisaiah9797]

THIS IS THE HIP STRETCH I NEED. THANK YOU MATT !.

[@Uprighthealth]

You're welcome!

[@hwbi]

Hi Matt thanks for this! I do have to say that after my surgeon trimmed a meniscus flap it no longer gets in the way. I don't know whether his stitching actually did anymore benefit, I stopped doing the lotus pose. And my body thanked me for it. On the hips, Could the tightness of the outer hips be a sign of weakened internal rotational muscles? I experience pain whenever I go deep into middle or front split. Thanks you helped me rule out the source of the pain being from bone-on-bone. I see you were careful not to directly identify the cause of the pain, but from my shoulder impingement experience, I keep thinking it's a similar case of the muscles around the joint are not functioning properly. This rotation really helped, I will definitely keep it a daily rehab. Appreciate your good work.

[@MiuMiuG]

This was so useful. I felt instant relief and it felt super good!

[@Uprighthealth]

AWESOME! 🥳

[@jeffin_k2925]

your hunchback really helped me but i am not completely got rid of that. i still have hunch back. i does the exercise regularly and it is being cured

[@falayyou]

What is the cause of tightness here?

[@robinsegura7577]

In doing leg extensions I'm having a little pain & cracking should I continue?

[@katherinecoles191]

Thank you! Thank you!

[@chandrubalaraman1123]

thankyou !! please add more videos for APT !!! thank you !!!

[@Uprighthealth]

You got it!

[@rickkane8043]

What you mean by placebo effect. I’m on FAI fix but I take a break cause every time I’m kneeling doing FAI fix exercises the pain in my outer hips and outer thighs getting worse. I’m just pick the exercises that I don’t need to go down to the floor. I hope you give me some exercises that fix the outer hips pain when kneeling. Thanks

[@lamisjaleel2726]

Getting better

[@briandewald621]

Thanks!

[@Uprighthealth]

You bet!

[@bosvigos9165]

Do what is the best way to fix a meniscus issue...?

[@ReneelovesGod]

Every step I take my knee has a stabbing pain. MRI and X-ray done and results are that there is nothing remarkable happing. I’m not able to walk without limping and the orthopedic surgeon thinks it may be my back which doesn’t hurt. I’m so frustrated and I don’t know what else to do😢

[@alexg8327]

Oh man… I’ve been struggle with my left outer hip being really tight and I never seem to be able to hit the right spot but this really helped relieve that tension! Thank you!! 🙏🏽

Wow ur video getting so good ..good before but awesome now 😁😁😁

[@simonmanning1844]

Superb.

[@kathcares]

A practitioner's good intentions are no cover for putting their clients through useless and ineffective procedures. Any professional needs to continue their study of the current research to be an effective caregiver. People give so much unquestioning faith to those in the medical profession, and there are few protections for those who have been taken advantage of. When poor research spawns an industry, consumers suffer. Thank you for exposing this issue. I'll stop commenting on it now. Please keep educating your viewers!

[@ravjc55]

matt, thanks so much for the content of this video and all the other videos that provide such valuable and empowering information. doctors really do not know EVERYTHING and i have found from my own experience that the content from upright health has helped me deal discomfort from good old fashioned stiffness. i am 65 years old, and because i am "blessed" with high cholesterol numbers, my doctors and therapists have encouraged me to focus on cardio activities when working out. i take zumba classes (750 - 1000 calories in an hour), and i can proudly say that i am able to keep up with the "young-uns" in class. however that has lead to discomfort and stiffness (especially at my age. lol!!) the content on upright health has greatly helped to manage all of this, particularly focusing on proper form for back issues, stiff hips, and knee strength. thank you, all, for the valuable information you provide. robert

Might want to put a warning in for people that don't like seeing scalpels cut into flesh.

[@harryg2778]

Yes! Very helpful video but I'm not a fan of scalpels cutting into flesh :D

[@maureenpolak2184]

Thanks for stretch. Notice that while working on the good hip the bad side was quite painful. Not sure if this does occur

[@rachkate76]

I always get stiff hips overnight and wake up with them in the morning. I’m a side sleeper but my sleeping position is just weird.

[@maureenpolak2184]

I have similar hip issues at night. Hopefully FAI fix will continue to help

[@maureenpolak2184]

What are some ways to help with stiff hips during the night?

[@kittenheels1958]

My mom just had knee surgery and sooo regrets it now.

[@Uprighthealth]

Sorry to hear that. Can you share some detail on it?

[@kittenheels1958]

@@Uprighthealth I’m sorry just saw your request this morning almost a year now she gets around fine no cane or no walker but still has uncomfortableness. Have you ever seen what a replacement knee looks like? It’s not a pretty picture nor is it even knee shaped.. it looks clunky n very robot like. I suggest before one plans to do the surgery to speak to others that have had it and look at a knee replacement on an X-ray. My mom is not content with it but she does walk $85,000 later.

[@Uprighthealth]

@@kittenheels1958 I remember working with one person who had total knee replacement, and "clunky" definitely comes to mind. Her knees were still not very comfortable...😕

@UprightHealth - Can you respond to my messages sent on the portal? You haven’t honored the 30-day refund guarantee as the program isn’t working for me.

Hi there, not sure how you have been sending messages. All you need to do is email [e-mail] and the support team will get it done. Refund guarantee is ALWAYS honored.

Blood letting is related to iron overload/toxicity and pathogens feed on iron so reducing iron helps inflammation related to pathogenic processes or any other inflammation. There are numerous studies related to iron toxicity. One of which shows that those who regularly donate blood live longer in general. Poor example of science evolving. But good example of alternative methods of healing rather than surgery ✌️

[@Uprighthealth]

I think you may have missed the point on how blood-letting was used historically and was rabidly defended as a cure for all kinds of ailments (for which it was ill-suited)...It has SOME specific uses now (as you point out), but it took A LONG TIME for it to be abandoned in cases where the evidence was clearly against it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodletting

[@runnerrn2247]

@@Uprighthealth I respect your work but would never consider Wikipedia a reliable source of information. Of course blood letting was used for things it was not efficacious for historically but the concept remains the same. Way back when people did things because they found benefit without the use of online searches. The benefit of releasing excess iron remains. That’s all. Happy holidays!
