Why Does My Knee Click With Squatting & Stairs? Is It Serious & How to Fix It

[@Dragonflies08]

I've always said my knees are applauding every time I stand up.

[@evrythngbeauty3023]

Stretching starts at 6:40 minutes 😉 Thank you gentlemen for sharing your knowledge 🙏👍

[@steveschu]

Thanks. Less BS talking and more info and examples. You can make it a “TV” show as you do your thing.

[@dr.renateschubert1932]

Thank you from South Africa.... I am a physical therapist. All the videos echo exactly what I tell my patients 👍🏼

[@madeline569]

I have no pain at all, sometimes it just clicks repeatedly.. I do a lot of yoga and pilates and deep stretches so I have a lot of flexibility in my thigh, so I think it's just a matter of warming up my joints and muscles properly Thanks so much for your videos Bill and Ben 💐

[@suelizzi1764]

um Bob and Brad

[@mlnags2829]

Have had this popping/ snapping since a thin young child through adulthood-no issues. Was a 10k runner 40s- 60s. Baker cyst improperly retreated in old age, 2/3 thyroid removal. Subsequent weight gain and left knee issues now painful. Pain disappears when I exercise recumbent bike and more exercise. Used some of your massage and other exercise videos thus less pain. 👍🏻. P.S. I have lower arches.🤷‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@falishatucker3486]

I just tried these exercises on my knees, and I feel a little better than, I did before I first tried them. thanks!!!

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear! Keep up the great work

[@poiuytrewq4049]

Thank you so much for this. 32 male left knee snaps under pressure of first squat. no pain.

[@marybrand8269]

The hamstring stretch is what they did in physical therapy this week and I could only lift 1/3 of yours and it left me sobbing and shaking from the pain.

[@yourfavemovieclips6901]

who else knees clicks and jus keeps doing it and making it click for no reason

[@joshweickum]

Me. I bet there are many people

[@thatbodymechanic]

I've dealt with a bunch. Usually a simple fix

[@veganangel68]

me. they click every time but no pain...

[@jerseylife8701]

Mine snap like a rubber band being snapped on paper. I do it 30x a day lol Once a chiropractor asked, “does that hurt? I said no He says, “well it’s gonna”

[@mmmmkay4773]

[@Nova7o9]

It's always my ankles and toes that pop whenever I get up from sitting or lying down, pretty much my whole life. 😐 So I could never make it as a ninja.

[@libbylife7161]

I "kneed" to do this. 😆 thank you ! God bless.

This information was highly kneaded. thank you!

[@TaoistSwordsman]

This was made for me! Thanks Bob and Brad :)

[@TownspersonB]

My knees would pop every time I squatted down for as long as I could remember. It wouldn't cause pain, so I mostly just ignored it. Then I decided to do some exercising in college and when I did 15 body weight squats back to back, my knees popped every single time and I had to stop because it became painful. I looked up the problem and eventually found out it was because I was flat footed. By forcing myself to have an arch in my foot by engaging the muscles on the bottom of the foot that give that gap between the foot and the floor, I did my first squats without my knees popping, and no pain. If I'm lifting my knees, it's easy for them to pop because I'm not engaging the muscles to force good form, but whenever I squat I do make sure to do them properly. So if your knees pop when you squat and you're flat footed, I'd look into that.

[@cremedelamemesupreme1649]

My situation sounds very similar to yours but I can't get it to work. My knees still click. I'm not full blown flat footed though, only partially.

[@danielprest5887]

Set a new squat PR earlier this evening with good form and no pain/discomfort, yet I'm watching a knee pain video. I was interested in the prehab/rehab tips. I Always learn something from your videos, thanks for the upload.

[@randoff32]

Why did the lawyer with a torn ACL still win the marathon? Because he had the power of a torn knee

[@Intuitivelyspeaking13]

Lol. Attorney 🤣🤣🤣

[@Danielg35sedan]

Thanks u have helped my knee a lot

[@raeleeninNC]

Good exercises to do. I have arthritis in my knees, ankles and feet plus I am overweight. Some days I can barely walk. Anxious to try these exercises. Thank you!

[@Mrazzled]

Who else knees to see this? Lol 😂

[@navy2p902]

[@Danae78]

I have two knees for this!

I crack it for fun

[@bethteer1509]

Player Catcher for 12 Summers years ago, fell off of Redneck stairs to a Concrete floor 3x (1st time floor was Bare concrete/last 2x rug*padding was down), plus I'm 71 yrs old. Right knee took brunt of falls & is the worst. Also had a couple of large dogs Hyper Extend my right knee a few times years ago causing pain.

[@WanderingNature]

You guys are wonderful and very helpful I’m grateful for your Channel and knowledge.

[@Rebecca-hv2rb]

Oh man, I love you guys !! You have saved me hundreds of dollars in medical bills that would not have given me the advice you guys do!

[@margretn1274]

Thank you guys.

[@patriciablankenbaker8817]

You guys crack me up! 😂🤣😅 I appreciate your fun way of giving us good info.

[@Andrew22]

Wow I was wondering this exact thing today and y’all upload this. Gods looking out for me

[@brittanycarney1101]

In physical therapy for my knee right now!

[@josh5397]

I just wrapped up my physio and my knee pain hasn't improved much :/ Is there anything in particular that has really helped you?

[@brittanycarney1101]

@@josh5397 I just started. I’ve only gone twice. And I don’t have severe pain and am still pretty young. It’s more to strengthen my week legs and ankles. But my aunts who have had knee replacements recommended like really good gym shoes. Brooks, ASICS, Hoka. That might help day to day.

[@BobbyCharlz]

Brilliant insight, gentlemen, thank you for sharing this great info; awesome episode. 👍

[@MrEricharper]

That massage worked delightfully on both my knees, Thank you very much for that, my knees were getting worse and I was concerned about them but now am feeling a lot better, and that's just after the first time messaging!

[@santharamachandran2427]

Timely help with the knee.Thank you.

[@70foolio]

Thanks for the PT exercises for an issue many people experience but don’t really complain about until it really hurting.

[@kainwi]

I have pseudogout. When my knee hurts, it always feels better after it cracks. It cracks until the pain is gone.

[@Andrew22]

Definitely my meniscus. Click click click and then pain every rep when I do squats

[@suelizzi1764]

mine's more like a thud at times lol...a click into a thud into nothing for awhile...oh the joys of getting older and having OA ..I LOVE your videos!

[@StarshipDolly]

Why do my ankles click when I’m running! Next please!! How do I correct it

[@kennethmarchon9598]

THANKS A LOT .MY RIGHT KNEE DOES NOT BEND AND IS VERY PAINFUL .

[@debconley2310]

Thank you for all you do!

[@hayleymadison9902]

Next week I'm going for knee replacement I experienced those clicks long time ago

[@lisamoore6804]

My knees CRUNCH going up and down stairs. I have to go up at a snails pace too. My boyfriend can hear them from the couch.

[@jerseylife8701]

If you guys want a “knee model” I am certain I have the loudest single click ever coming from both my knees every time I squat past 90 degrees. You could pick it up on a mic 50 feet away from me.

[@dianegilbank5095]

Thanks for this, so informative and relevant for me at the .moment. I've followed you for years now and really appreciate your knowledge. Thank you

[@mw3516405]

I do I'm learning !

[@floc6404]

I know that, in the past you have dismissed this idea, but what fixed my "clicking knee(s)" were orthotics or foot appliances. When the feet are not in alignment (our foundation) then it affects everything else. I've always been in good shape and take a recreational dance class along with daily walking. I've had orthotics created by both a podiatrist as well as a physical therapist. They do take a bit of time to get use to the feeling; I've changed shoe size and shape to accommodate them. Being more "in alignment" has also helped keep my low back and hips in alignment and minimized pain. I use to play basketball in high school and my knees would become painful and sometimes swell up a bit. I wish someone would have told me about orthotics rather than just putting ice on the knee. I do respect the exercises you show (I've watched many episodes). Just exercise/stretching didn't calm the clicking. Orthotics, and wearing them faithfully!, did.

[@sashikala2229]

Very good information to both of you🙏

[@goofy170]

Thanks for this video, very informative 👍

[@caseykennedy8129]

I have problems with my right knee clicking and locking up and swelling with fluid after walking of doing and sort of physical activity and it all makes sense now but I also have been horseback riding since I was 2.

[@jenniferp4612]

Thanks uncle Bob and uncle Brad!!

[@gloriamakano3611]

From South Africa thanks Bob and Brad you are both really funny friends, I love your Videos 🇿🇦🤩

[@luvfitall]

Please do a video explaining what to do or not to do after fluoroquinolones antibiotics. Post taking them 2months later, my knees progressively crackle and pop more and more. After a leg workout with squats I crackle and sting so bad that I can barely walk and can barely stand for too long. Should I rest and relax? Or should I keep doing these motion stretches and workouts to keep fluid in knee?

[@RatedRKO269]

Both of my knees make crunching noises when they bend, no pain, can do training and running with no issues but the noise never goes away. Not sure if that’s the same thing as clicking.

[@midnightbeats7484]

Same

[@txmade210]

Me too, were you able to figure out what it is?

[@funkymunky]

My feet - toes and ankle joint - click when I go up and down the stairs... I have flat feet, though. No pain. Common problem?

[@janedmunds4218]

I have flat feet too but no clicking. Could be I’m uncommon though...

[@misscyanic2484]

Thx for the valuable info! And love Bob's lilac shirt & tie! Happy Spring 🎶🐦

[@debbysimon120]

ok, that explains the clicking, but what causes the pain?

[@lukemorley7481]

The Best from Ireland 😊

[@fpupesh]

my knees have been clicking all my life and it happens when i extend the knee. should i be worried and get it checked?

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

You guys have some good videos. This is the BEST. Some I'm familiar with from PT in distant past; some I'll be adding to my knee work. Thanks. Trying to keep from knee surgery through Regenerative treatment (A2M) about every 5 yrs.

[@florypridgen4773]

Very good video, thank you gentleman.

[@josemartimartir]

B&B watch you & recommended you for years , because you are the best. How ever you would be even greater, if you put name or description of excercises below i. E. 1.ankle twist 2 quads stretch. Etc etc. Thanks

[@veronicawest1586]

Does any of this apply to a hip that clicks?

[@chandlersampson]

I have to crack my wrists, fingers, back, hips, constantly. And those have all been hurting/cramping so bad lately. 😞

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

Food can influence your joints. Learn what not to eat. Take omega 3 regularly, AND eat Sockeye Salmon at least once a week. (Try: Broiling each side a min for small piece. Then, spread already mixed ground pecans, very little cracker crumbs, ground or shaved Parmesan, and melted butter together . Spread over skinless side.). Broil again topping side up not too close to heat until flaky. You can find foods to avoid (for me tomatoes) or use less of on KZbin. Biggest thing to avoid daily is sugar or a lot of carbs.Keep these minimal and you'll feel better. Make changes while you're young😉

[@hlowrylong]

@@greenleavesofsummer9673 Why tomatoes? I’ve heard this, but haven’t researched why … I’m a huge consumer of tomatoes, so I’d love your reasoning.

[@catchheronthefly4532]

My knee has something in there that actually pops/moves when I bend it. I can even see it with my eyes. Only hurts when I go downstairs. I do a lot of hiking, always scared I’m gonna be 10 miles from my car and my knees stops working.😱 lol

[@OutrageIsNow]

Look at kneesovertoesguy channel. My clicking/crunching sound got better with the split squat he recommends

[@DennisNowland]

Is it serious? My knee started clicking when I was 17 I am now 67 and doing pretty well. Does that answer your question?

[@sonjanasseri3066]

Thank you I feel so much ease as I get up still click it's a start.

[@ringwoodwood]

Are you 2 in cahoots with my doctors?! I just went to my knee doctor yesterday! Arthritis and floating cartilage for me! ...how is floating cartilage taken care of?

[@sunvavachi]

This is interesting...both my knees since I was a child it clicks once a day when I bend down for dance since the age of 6. After that does not click for the rest of the day. It's never been a bother in sports, weight lifting or anything else. I've always wondered why. I know the anatomy but I wonder if that is common? Now I'm 33.

[@dinacardoso5942]

Are these stretches safe for a knee replacement as well?

You guys are great !

[@Johnrider1234]

Guys. Will you please please please help us. My son 25. Oblique hematoma. Right side

[@TT-de7wb]

Please don't stop a video because of time. I have a longer attention span than a toddler. :) But even if many do not, they can simply turn it off or skip ahead. We that have longer attention spans can get the benefit of many more exercises to aid in recovery or to strengthen areas needing to be stretched. Thank you so much for all these videos!!!

[@jollymelloncolly]

My knee is clicking and it hurts sometimes as well. I hurt it a while back it has never fully recovered. It kind of clicks at the back of knee left side and the front right..

[@My2KrazyKidz]

Most of my joints are loud but my ankles are the Worst and loudest each cracks at least 20times a day. Will you do a video on ankles?

[@zoeberry33]

My knee sometimes clicks and Ive had a knee replacement

Mine too. Wish I knew why.

[@taramarcelle1706]

Happy moments 💖 great knee job.

[@robinfleischer9804]

One knee has been clicking for years. Now the other one started to after hiking. But, they don’t hurt. Hamstrings are good. Should I start theses stretches?🤔

[@judistull5279]

My left knee clicks and has a very sharp pain. Not always an audible click, but a sharp pain every time. Also, painful to bend my knee too far forward (as in a squat or trying to get into a car seat). It almost feels like the knee cap is out of place. Guess I will find out what’s going on next week when I see an orthopedic doctor.🤷🏻‍♀️🥺

[@hejhejkupsoklej]

What test permits to know if this is IT band problem? And what you think about mobility exercises, like using "passive leg excercises"?

[@ferdinandsolano4690]

I have a prepatellar bursitis before on my right knee, but now its healed already. I can walk normally without pain, I can run just like before. I am 65 years old but the problem is I always feel clicking on my right knee. My question is....can I apply those two exercise that you have shown in this video clip using resistance band?

[@donnasimpson9731]

Hi Bob and Brad - love your info - my knee makes a loud crack with a lot of pain and usually I can't walk or put weight on it for a few minutes but upon resting it or sitting down for a few minutes it corrects itself and I can walk on it again - when it happens it feels like I broke my knee but it functions again after a short rest. It happens when I overuse my legs - I am on a list for knee replacement but I am very curious as to what is happening here. Any ideas

[@Th3BigBoy]

Save me boys! It's driven me mad for years and now others can hear it!

[@willothewispl]

My left knee sirt of moves around. And I cannot walk till it goes back into place. Also what do you think about wearing these stretchy knee covers to help.

[@puddenpudden4304]

I luv your show however can u show a excerise that a disabled senior can do please like from a wheelchair ❤️

[@pennyshaw4915]

I have a question. Why is it that my replaced knee hurts more than my regular knee. It also pops and gets really stiff.

[@JoshuaLeggans]

My knees pop but I also have Osteoarthritis in both of my knees one is worse than the other and they pop and sometimes there's pain but not too bad. I fell off my bed back in 2019 and fractured my right knee and let me tell you it hurt like hell.

So if you’re stretching your quads and the knee hurts should you stop?

Cavitation does a lot of damage (etching) to propeller blades on boats. (But i wonder if some electrochemical activity is occurring there) Has the gas bubble hypothesis been confirmed by fMRI?

[@apolloskye17]

Sometimes when I sit on a chair (with the knees in about a 90% angle) and put some weight on my right foot. That results in a LOUD pop that feels like it's coming from the back of my right knee. There is some pain in that moment but it quickly subsides. I'm only 24. Any one who's experienced this? Should I be concerned in the long run?

[@dawna4185]

what if you have knee pain and xray didn't show any problems ie: arthritis? what other tests can be preformed? thanks

If you can’t get up and roll on that tube for your ileotibial band, what else can you do?
