Brilliant ! So simple – I just need to get on and follow through now !!! Your explications are always to perfect and well shown – thank you so much, Will 🤩
Love your videos Will. Im on the list for replacement because I have no more cartilage in my knee as well as some arthritis started. Will this help or is replacement probably going to be my only option? I love walking but it can start being very painful for me.
The insurance cie's no longer cover minucus tear surgeries in the States finding they don't help, when mine was done I made sure they only froze me from waist down and I got to escape hosp sooner! Our bud had hernia repair on his groin injury, it finished mid-aft but kept him there hrs until he was able to pee, my husband can't even purchase his meds for him (pain killers I presume). Our friend will still have to contend with whatever gave him his severe injury anyway! 😮
I love ankle weights, they seem to make exercise count more and done correctly via alignments and where your strength needs focussing!
Love your videos Will, they are so helpful. Thank you 😊
Another American physiotherapist strongly advice "do not strengthen your quads " to treat knee arthrisis. According to him it is a big mistake, He made many video on that subject., The latest video "brutally honest advice to avoid knee replacement" El Paso Manual physiotherapist.
I am not a physiotherapist and I do not understand his theory, but I am certain that you could understand and evaluate .
I have a lot of confidence in your expertise and I would be happy to know your point of view on his theory.I read your letter very friday with pleasure.
Thank you, this is a much needed addition to my routine.
Saw the knee surgeon yesterday, he said I don't need it yet. Hope these will keep the doctro away. So thankful, Will, brilliant!
Hi thank so much for the amazing channel.I have chondromalacia patellae can you please make a video with exercises for this condition?
Thank you for the knee exercises. I have pseudogout in knee. OK to do these exercises..?
Thank you, Will! These exercises are spot on! I did PT a few years ago for my knee arthritis and muscular imbalance. I went through these same exercises, more or less, and feel that they have REALLY helped me. I plan on modifying what I currently do now as per your instructions! CHEERS!
An exercise can fix the muscle causing the issue without or with surgery. Surgery comes from a word meaning injury, so it is good actually if you would much prefer to have the muscle innervation fixed. The dog is smart, he has only wanted to fix the issue. A physiotherapist has fixed the pain completely more frequently.
I have knee arthritis in both knees and these exercises and previous ones you've shown have helped so much that I am now confident to go hiking in New Zealand!!! 😁
I m a retired gynecologist, 74. Learning a lot from you to keep my knees fit n fine. Thanks a lot 🎉
Congratulations on hitting 1 million subscribers!
I find it very strange that no one mentions how being overweight affects your knees. Is this now such a taboo 'politically incorrect' subject that fitness advisers totally avoid it in fear of being derided and cancelled?
I'm starting to have problems with my knees, I have bought your latest book, resistance bands, foot rests for under my desk and I watch your videos on this subject, but I wonder how much my weight is affecting my knees – I'm 70yo : 5'4" :157lbs?
Ima retired few months ago and started experiencing a knee pain when walking, I learn so much from you thanks
I want to give you my email so I can get Friday tips.
I am 96 and my left knee was replaced 2007 and the Dr said the right was also in a bad way however I ignored the advice and now a although I can bend my knee completely and it can lie flat on the bed without pain it's really painful when I walk. It feels as if part the knee is knocking against another. What now. I live in South Africa!
Congratulations, Will, on reaching one million subscribers. Your caring but laid back attitude draws us into your instructions and information. Thank you!
The titles do not allow to read the instructions
If the knee arthritis is 4th degree and cartilage is almost lost, can this exercises help? Pl advise.
Thank you so much for the detailed advice.
Thank you for this information. Just received your new book😊
Your interview with Dr. Latham RE: hip replacement was extraordinary. Very good info on a widely misunderstood subject. I am facing hip replacement. I have no other choice. I exercise regularly, am in good health and tend to heal quickly. I will be on a walker for 2 weeks. After that, I'm not sure what to expect. My orthopedist is very good and has worked on me before. I have had surgeries for other things, but this is the first one where they will cut a piece out of me and take it away! I always do physical therapy,, including my "homework"..I am going to watch the interview again and take notes for my doctor, so I don't forget anything on my list of questions. Thank you for this video..
I have a complete meniscus tear. 5 months on now. Pain is not that bad now, though still can't squat..this is what I have been doing.
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm 72 and was disabled at 50 with chronic pain from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety and depression. I was told this week that I need to have a total knee replacement to solve my pain! I was also told this 4 years ago! But with therapy I found on YouTube, at first from Bob and Brad, and with cutting out processed foods, carbs, and sugar, I have done really great with the arthritis and bone on bone situation in my knee!! I had a couple of falls recently and so I was scheduled for physical therapy for my ankles, calves and quads, and after a couple of weeks of that, my knee flared up again!! You mentioned the quads, but said first you have to help the flexibility of the knee!! I really think this will help me!! God bless you for ALL the great videos i have watched of you helping people over 50!! I really appreciate you!! ❤🙏🙏
Good work out for my knees 👍Tq
Thank you Will, I really enjoy your exercises. I’ve just bought your book 📕 I can’t wait to read it. 😉
Writing the instructions on the screen certainly helps re- enforce the verbal. Great idea.
Thank you Will. I will add these exercises to the others you have recommended. Thank you for your patience, kindness and encouragement.
So helpful! Thanks!
