You did such a good job of helping me find the muscle at the beginning. I also like how you are encouraging about saying it’s okay if you don’t find the exact muscle, you’ll be able to help yourself by massaging around in the right general area.
I became aware of the popliteus muscle a few years ago when I suffered from chronic achilles tendonitis. There was scar tissue there bulging out at the back of the heel, and over time it became painful to walk. My chiropractor did something with the popliteus -( he did a massage or knee adjustment, not sure) In a few weeks the scar tissue disappeared and stayed that way and now I walk pain free. And scar tissue went away. It felt like a miracle!
Hi Teri. I need your help. I have been suffering from an inflammatory Achilles tendinitis for many years and now I have developed an incredible pain at the back of my knee? Are they correlated? If so , could you kindly let me know what I should do to alleviate the pain. Thanks a lot in advance!❤
Thank you so much, Todd. I ordered yesterday and started right away. I believe that it has helped my left knee in just two days, where my pain is. I'm looking forward to a very healthy, strong and feel good knees~ God bless you!

Thanks mate U nailed it 🙂 I’ve been searching for some time about that disabling pain in the back of my knee.

I had my popliteus lock up on me Thursday. I finally figured out what was going on Saturday. I massaged it Saturday night and when I went to bed I still couldn't bend my knee. In the middle of the night I tried bending my knee in my sleep and I woke up to a sensation like pulling a sock up your calve but only it was the muscle releasing the tension going down the back of my knee. The only thing I feel now is the soreness from giving myself a deep tissue massage. This video absolutely helps. Good luck.

Wow. Thanks is for this. I was in a motorcycle accident 7 months age. I broke my leg just about 2 inches above my ankle and banged up my knees. Still working on getting the stiffness out. That muscle you mentioned is in a knot on that leg. Nothing on the other leg . You gave me something I can do to improve that knee. It has been fairly unstable but slightly improving. I’ve been working out my whole life so you pointing me in that direction helped. Now I can get those adhesions sorted out and moving like they my are suppose to. Thanks again.

Hi, @Johnnysixpac! Giving your popliteus muscle a massage could help with pain. However, if you've been dealing with pain for two months, it's super important to chat with a healthcare pro for the best advice. In the meantime, you might want to try using ice or heat on the sore area, do some easy stretches, and steer clear of activities that make it worse.

Hey William. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing pain in your knees. This article will be a great help to ease the pain you're feeling in your knee. www.feelgoodlife.com/sharp-knee-pain. Let me know if it helped :)
I used to suffer from leg cramps in the back of my knee when I was a child. It would bring me to the ground it was so painful. It felt like something was getting twisted. My mom and teachers used to massage it and it helped. I thought I grew out of it as I haven’t had an incident in like 20 plus years. Today I was kneeling down (like child pose) and it happened again! It brought me to tears and when I stood up it was like a tendon moved back to place or something. It felt better after that but my foot went numb too. Now it’s sore and I’m TERRIFIED of this happening again. What could be happening???
@wildwyattthecrittercatcher4637 That sounds rough! Leg cramps are no joke, especially when they hit unexpectedly. It might be a good idea to chat with a doctor about what's going on, just to be safe. In the meantime, take it easy and avoid stuff that makes it worse. Maybe some gentle stretches could help too. 🩺🌟 Let me share a great resource I have.

Can tight hamstrings cause pain in this muscle, I’m a cyclist and I’m starting to get quite a lot of pain in the popliteus area. I’ve tried lifting and lowering my saddle height but the pain persist.
Hey, rob white! I'm sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing. If your knees hurt a lot after the exercises, I encourage you to back off. Maybe start with the bare minimum. Obviously, I don't know your specific condition so it's hard to recommend specifics but in general, I normally encourage people to ease into the exercises gradually if they experience pain with the program.
@@FeelGoodLife Thanks for your reply. I’ve been a life long cyclist. The pain has only started in the last 6 months, I regularly do 50 km rides each week. I’m 58 so could even be arthritis sneaking in, but from what I’ve researched the pain seems to be in the area of this muscle.
You're welcome! It's great to hear that you've been a lifelong cyclist, and it's essential to address any pain or discomfort that you're experiencing to continue enjoying your rides.

This area is swollen it makes legs look odd shaped. I was a young childcare teacher for 25 years bending forward picking up these little kids all day . I can’t truly squat right or stretch my leg backwards . I am trying every day
29 Feb 2024…last week had back of knee pain. Afraid it was blood clot. So painful to walk on that leg. Then a 7-year old girl neighbor brought her hula hoops to teach me. I used to do it but now cannot. Tried and tried. I swayed my hips left right really fast to keep the loop from falling. got the hoop around twice. Kept doing this fast hip motion and like magic my back of the knee pain went away.

Hi, @samanthawilliams-zb7yf! Don't hesitate to reach out to a doctor or a physical therapist for a more accurate evaluation and personalized guidance on your specific case. This is especially important if you suspect a more serious injury or if the pain does not improve with home care. Your health and well-being should always be a top priority. If you're experiencing discomfort or pain in your popliteus muscle, it's important to consider a few things: 1. Gentle self-massage can sometimes help relieve muscle tension and discomfort. However, it's essential to be cautious and not apply excessive pressure or continue if it causes more pain. 2. Avoid activities that aggravate the pain. 3. Apply ice to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Use a cloth or towel to wrap the ice pack to prevent direct contact with your skin. 4. Elevate your leg to help reduce swelling if there's any. 5. Non-prescription pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be considered, but always follow the recommended dosages and consult the label or a healthcare professional.

Hope you enjoy
All the videos I watched and looking at gif of where the muscle is and were my pain is. It looks like the muscle comes around the outside of the leg to the back of the knee. Yours seems to contradict that. Which is right?
Hi @JP1AO! Understanding anatomy can be confusing, right? Our video shows the popliteus muscle's role in knee movement, but its exact positioning can vary slightly from person to person.

Is there long term benefits for massaging the popliteus? I've been experiencing pain for about 2 months now, (26 y/o male) thanks.
Hi, @Johnnysixpac! Giving your popliteus muscle a massage could help with pain. However, if you've been dealing with pain for two months, it's super important to chat with a healthcare pro for the best advice.
In the meantime, you might want to try using ice or heat on the sore area, do some easy stretches, and steer clear of activities that make it worse. You can also check the related article to this video. Please check out this link: www.feelgoodlife.com/popliteus-pain

How often would you recommend this self massage so you don't overdo it and inflame the area?
Hello, @M.M435! I suggest doing this self-massage 2-3 times a week. Pay close attention to how your body feels. If you experience any discomfort or increased sensitivity, take a break for a day or two.

Awesome, Ahmed! Happy to hear that :)
I have a bakers cyst that was drained 3x. All the PT didn’t help at all. Can I do this if I have a bakers cyst? They say my xray & MRI don’t look bad. I’m going on month 6 now & so irritable due to the cyst pressure & discomfort
Hi, @azinaz1625! Since we aren't able to do a physical exam and see exactly what is going on with your knee, I can't for sure recommend what exercises you should do. However, let me share with you a great resource that might be able to help you. Please check out this link: www.feelgoodlife.com/exercises-to-manage-a-bakers-cyst

Well done. Can you tell me what causes this. Are your DVD / videos available online?
A tight muscle could be caused from any number of things, from an injury, to inactivity, to inflammation. Our programs are available online and DVD. Hope this helps!
@@FeelGoodLife thanks !!
What about on the opposite side? I have pain is that the same thing
Hey William. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing pain in your knees. This article will be a great help to ease the pain you're feeling in your knee. www.feelgoodlife.com/sharp-knee-pain. Let me know if it helped :)
I used to suffer from leg cramps in the back of my knee when I was a child. It would bring me to the ground it was so painful. It felt like something was getting twisted. My mom and teachers used to massage it and it helped. I thought I grew out of it as I haven’t had an incident in like 20 plus years.
Today I was kneeling down (like child pose) and it happened again! It brought me to tears and when I stood up it was like a tendon moved back to place or something. It felt better after that but my foot went numb too.
Now it’s sore and I’m TERRIFIED of this happening again. What could be happening???
@wildwyattthecrittercatcher4637 That sounds rough! Leg cramps are no joke, especially when they hit unexpectedly. It might be a good idea to chat with a doctor about what's going on, just to be safe. In the meantime, take it easy and avoid stuff that makes it worse. Maybe some gentle stretches could help too. 🩺🌟

I got arthritis in that area. Can these exercises help with my pain?
You can definitely try it to see if it gives you some relief!
Can tight hamstrings cause pain in this muscle, I’m a cyclist and I’m starting to get quite a lot of pain in the popliteus area. I’ve tried lifting and lowering my saddle height but the pain persist.
Hey, rob white! I'm sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing. If your knees hurt a lot after the exercises, I encourage you to back off. Maybe start with the bare minimum. Obviously, I don't know your specific condition so it's hard to recommend specifics but in general, I normally encourage people to ease into the exercises gradually if they experience pain with the program.
@@FeelGoodLife
Thanks for your reply. I’ve been a life long cyclist. The pain has only started in the last 6 months, I regularly do 50 km rides each week. I’m 58 so could even be arthritis sneaking in, but from what I’ve researched the pain seems to be in the area of this muscle.
You're welcome! It's great to hear that you've been a lifelong cyclist, and it's essential to address any pain or discomfort that you're experiencing to continue enjoying your rides.

Whenever I extend my leg I feel clicking in the back side lf the knee but without any pain
Hey @indiantrainworld6031! It's good that there's no pain with the clicking behind your knee when you extend your leg. Just keep an eye on it, and if you have any concerns or if it persists or worsens, consider consulting a healthcare professional for peace of mind. Take care!

Going round the block to go go next door. Does this man know what he is talking about?
Hey, @mikeriley5568. Thank you for your feedback.
29 Feb 2024…last week had back of knee pain. Afraid it was blood clot. So painful to walk on that leg. Then a 7-year old girl neighbor brought her hula hoops to teach me. I used to do it but now cannot. Tried and tried. I swayed my hips left right really fast to keep the loop from falling. got the hoop around twice. Kept doing this fast hip motion and like magic my back of the knee pain went away.

Must I not go to the docter
Hi, @samanthawilliams-zb7yf! Don't hesitate to reach out to a doctor or a physical therapist for a more accurate evaluation and personalized guidance on your specific case. This is especially important if you suspect a more serious injury or if the pain does not improve with home care. Your health and well-being should always be a top priority.
If you're experiencing discomfort or pain in your popliteus muscle, it's important to consider a few things:
1. Gentle self-massage can sometimes help relieve muscle tension and discomfort. However, it's essential to be cautious and not apply excessive pressure or continue if it causes more pain.
2. Avoid activities that aggravate the pain.
3. Apply ice to the affected area to help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Use a cloth or towel to wrap the ice pack to prevent direct contact with your skin.
4. Elevate your leg to help reduce swelling if there's any.
5. Non-prescription pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be considered, but always follow the recommended dosages and consult the label or a healthcare professional.
