ABOUT THIS VIDEO
It can seem like knee pain comes from old age and arthritis. Active adults often fall victim to this mental trap and think there's nothing you can do to prevent knee pain. The truth is you can prevent and fix knee pain if you train your knees properly. This will require you to vary your training and activities so you give your lower body a wide range of challenges. You need to train your hips, knees, ankles, and feet to have full range of motion and strength through a full range of motion (i.e. strength at every length)!

Hello hello friend!! I’ve been teaching Pilates for over 15 years on machine reformer. I have to agree with everything you say. It is what I’ve been trying to get across to my clients. Yes the muscles are getting flabby yes you are getting older but pumping those muscles is not the solution. I try to use a full stretching method and work to build muscles as you described. Thank you. I will continue to watch your videos and share them with my clients. Thank you again you are a shining so star. Light the way!

Helping your knees is yet another reason to keep at a healthy weight.

[@SwingingInTheHood]

This video is amazingly good advice. I was diagnosed over 15 years ago with bone on bone arthritis in my knees and had the most awful knee pain and stiffness, etc... The only options I was given was Glucosamine and chondroitin and/or surgery. I decided to take control then and there. Long story short, I drastically changed my diet, and built strength and flexibility in my legs. Today, at 67, not only am I an avid dancer, but I also do Parkour almost daily. So, two activities which will help you: dance (practice multiple styles of dance) and Parkour. Parkour includes quadrupedal movement, which is one of the best full body workouts you will find for knees, arms, joints, back, shoulders, etc... But, whatever you choose to do, do something! And follow this advice. It is golden.

[@doumkatekz]

What did you do? I am 54 with knees that are not quite painful but often very very stiff in fact I wake up extremely stiff all over and it makes me want to avoid doing things I need to be doing. I did start lifting heavy weights a couple years ago and that helped and I feel better right after and I'm stronger but I still end up very stiff the other days. I have a desk job

[@SwingingInTheHood]

@@doumkatekz My knees get stiff after sitting for a long period of time also. Don't know what to do about that. However, in general, I'm pretty flexible and rarely experience knee pain anymore. Things I did: I reduced my sugar intake, increased fruit and vegetables, worked on strengthening the leg muscles while also working on increasing flexibility (quads, calves, IT bands, etc...), heel pads in shoes, practiced squatting more (also helps strengthen legs). I think the advice in this video is very, very good. Get and stay active. Get your knees used to bending -- just don't overuse them. For example, I do a lot of jumping in Parkour, but I've trained myself to always land on my toes first, always bend my knees and always absorb as much of the impact as I can in my legs. So, train your body to do the things you need to do, not avoid them. It will be uncomfortable at first, but over time, your body will adapt. Go at your own pace, don't overdo it. You'll be amazed at what you are capable of down the line.

[@roymarshall_]

Parkour at 67, wow!

[@lauren-gx1lg]

After watching a few videos on this channel, I just want to say that there's something so magical about the way you frame exercising. This mindset you cultivate of movement as an every day, achievable activity that only causes slight discomfort has made the whole idea of exercising every day feel really, really manageable. For such a long time, I have struggled with regularly exercising, going through unhealthy cycles of overdoing it and then hurting myself and swearing off exercising until a few months later, when I way overdo it again. Lately, I've been trying to break this cycle and focusing on finding joyful movement each day, whether that's going for a jog listening to my favorite podcast or playing with my friend's dog. Your videos are now playing a part in helping me break that cycle, and retain my flexibility as I age!

[@zeezoe478]

I did the Asian squat twice on Sunday when I was gardening...congratulations to moi!. Still found it a bit difficult to get back up and heard the cracking knee sounds. Will continue to build the muscles.

Great video Matt. A few years ago I had surgery ( clean up) of my torn meniscus … Since I started watching your channel, I am NEVER going back! ATM are words to live by. Now I have to keep the rest of my body from falling apart:-)

[@thefisherking78]

This is super vital to understand! I once stayed on the sixth floor of a hotel and I thought I was doing myself a great favor by avoiding the elevator until my shredded quads started pulling my knee joints out of alignment. Same with shoulders.. I had a partial rotator tear from uneven training and that taught me so much

[@MarmaladeINFP]

So happy I found this channel you are changing my life I almost got my deep squat down and my knees feel so much better

[@alainfitnessdoc4503]

Excellent presentation and I totally agree with everything you said. I would also mention the connection between joint pain and systemic inflammation from eating inflammatory foods, stress, lack of sleep, medications, environmental toxins, lack of exercise….etc.

[@mitzipepall3075]

Dear Matt, I quit tai chi because my knees were starting to hurt. My doctor took an xray and had me move about while he peered at my knees. No arthritis. The problem was that my muscles were so tense and stiff they were actually pulling/twisting my knees out of joint. After a mere week of doing a heel to bum stretch regularly my knees stopped hurting. Since then I have learned much else (a great deal from you) and have had to deal with all kinds of issues. But I pay attention to my muscles.

[@peterbeyer5755]

How true, moving in a bent knee position, as in tai chi, and falling to stretch to counter the shortened thigh muscle can give you knee problems, foam roller on the thighs helps.

[@kevinblythe2192]

You are right about muscle contraction and inadvertently only training the shortened muscle on contraction. This is why you should also train the 'negative' movement - full contraction to full extension, slowly, under the same load for full muscle development. Thanks, I enjoyed your video.

[@MuzzoWolf]

I used to have some knee pain and a doc told me it was about muscles being too weak. I've restarted my fencing classes and that helped big big time. Fencing focuses so much on legs, you do so many kind of exercises for your legs!

[@patriciapiper6294]

This matters so much! I didn't want to believe it or care, now I'm in trouble and all you say makes sense. Thanks!! I'm decrepit and feeble!!!

[@emazey5044]

Dang, so i imagine the same goes for hip stiffness, upper thigh pain. Strength exercises along with flexibility then? Doing pool exercises and some swimming ATM, seems to be helping. Need to be more intentional with my other exercises. Thanks Matt!

[@nickretrae2487]

This is why Yoga and Calisthenics are king for me. Train for longevity, not short term gains.

[@33Jenesis]

My mom is 84 and she only does the same things, often in the wrong ways. Over time her muscle atrophied and currently has very limited range of motion. She still nags me about being active but I tell her she’s the best example of what not to do. I switch things up every 5 years, not stick to one activity exclusively. I discovered swimming last July and am loving it. As great as swimming is, it isn’t a cure all. I am doing weight train to help with bone density.

[@MarmaladeINFP]

I mix up it up over time. I jog, run, and sprint; sometimes doing it backward and sidewards. I also do full squats, split squats, Cossack squats, and a couple other kinds of squats that get my legs in different positions and angles, including getting up and down from the ground with using my hands. I also do seiza, horse stance, joint rotations, side-foot walking, toe raises, step downs, tibia raises, hacky sack, and a few passive stretches. I just think of all the ways my joints and muscles can move. I don't do all of this on any given day or even necessarily any given week, but I do most of it on a regular basis throughout a month.

[@minolta7i]

You refer (many times) to muscles and their (lack of) length. I know you have a history of studying Ida Rolf and her therapy called Rolfing. In her book on Rolfing, she has this most important statement "The length of ANY muscle in your body indicates its POTENTIAL STRENGTH and the distance thru which it can move the related body parts." Rolf also points out that as we age, we naturally shorten VERTICALLY and lengthen HORIZONTALLY! Basically, as we move thru life, we are losing CRITICAL LENGTH across the many joints in our bodies...which will sadly manifest in many nagging pains across those joints!

[@FalconWindblader]

Things deteriorate naturally in time in just about everything. that's where the RIGHT SET of exercises come in. it's the ONLY way to counter those natural deterioration to a certain extent, vertical shortening & horizontal lengthening of muscles included.

[@stevescholey3479]

I am seing the same on myself. Years of sports and quite frankly my knees were bulletproof. Covid came, lots of lock down in my country, guess what knee pain pops up. I am finding as you say, full range of movements in my exercises reduces my knee pain. The days I am office bound, I feel the knee pain just sitting at my desk. Once I do some exercice, cycling, running, stretching… The pain goes. Thank you for this video .

[@ryancooper3629]

I've never heard someone state it quite like this, thanks! I've struggled with knee problems for years. Specifically while hiking on uneven terrain and downhill my meniscus area gets sore, swells, and then I lose range of motion and the ability to maintain strength while bent. I've spent thousands on physio trying to fix it and nothing has really helped. Definitely going to think about the ideas in this video, though, in my case I am in the climbing gym at 3-4 times per week which I'd argue is one of the only sports that one could say actually trains the full range of motion in a dynamic and non-repetitive way. I've never considered trying to apply strength while stretching though, that is an interesting idea which I will give a try. My physio has never suggested it but it makes sense.

In case of athletes, depending on the sport, arthritis might be the most likely cause - certain contact disciplines, particularly submission-focused grappling ones, are really hard on structures within the knee.

Unfortunately, in my case it is osteoarthritis. Having been a ballet dancer, aerobics instructor, and runner, it’s hard to accept that I have trouble doing squats now because of the arthritis pain. But, I do what I can, which is HIIT classes three times a week, and I’m nearly 70. So not bad I guess.

I also had 2 neck fusions c3 to t1 .do to a fall on ice backwards , but that's a different story . I am a retired 56 years old 215 pounds 5'5 white male . why I went back to the knee Dr , is because about 3 months ago , walking around Walmart with my wife , like we always do , I got shooting sharp pain in my knees , I mean sharp . I always have some kind knee pain in both knees , but not like that , I could barely walk . the pain went away around a week later , that's why I saw my knee Dr . any clue what I can do for my knees besides getting the 3 knee shots in both knees again ???

I'm going to be 76 in less than 2 months. I don't play any sports because I have no coordination whatsoever (and never have). I'm not afraid of hard, physical work which is probably one of the things that's kept a lot of my muscles in fairly good shape. My knees are one of the few things that don't bother me. My back, on the other hand is a hot mess. Scoliosis, DJD, etc. I've been doing old physical therapy exercises for weeks that involve a lot of ROM and they've been helping.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

"coordination" improves greatly with an increase in physical strength. Having a high strength to weight ratio means you can control that weight much easier. Add in flexibility and range of motion. Your pessimistic mindset which gets to be "CORRECT" a majority of the time is your greatest limiter. Pessimism is a form of an affirmation, where you intentionally say you can't or limit yourself so that you can be "right" a majority of the time. SO you tell yourself you "can't", you and you literally can't because that's your self imposed limit. Growth requires failure and correction. So the question is how do you get from point "A" to point "B", what is all required and what are the steps?

Maybe I need to strengthen my VMO, do you think so? What do you suggest sir?

Hi Matt! Great content, Great personality and I enjoy your sense of humor. Do I need a lot of your kid's toys to help with many of your exercises? I have tried a lot of your exercises, continued with some and especially the Asian Squat. You talk a lot about over using biceps without equal use of opposite muscles. Do you have a video that addresses specific arm exercises that I can use? If not, can you create a video. I made a Paypal donation this evening(eventors). Keep up the great work. I am 74 and trying to keep my body in good shape. My Jack Russell has me walking him 4miles a day, but I need a lot of upper body work.

Hi Matt. I had a go linking to your pain-free online course, but the message on both my email addresses was, "This value seems to be invalid". Not sure what's happening there.

I had both meniscus repaired, lateral and medial and now I am having trouble getting full knee deflection back. It's becoming a problem with my other knee now because I don't deflect my knees all the way. it's a struggle, any advice?

Yeah, you get the surgery and you end up doing the physical therapy anyways. Why not start with the physical therapy? Insurance doesn't pay very well for PT, however. They can't argue about it post-op.

Just to make it clear for the bicep curl example, if i open my elbows all the way before lifting the weight again, will that protect my wrists and keep my range of motion? Or do i need to do something else?
