When you bent your knees and sat on your feet on the floor and said ppl with knee injuries often can't do that, THAT IS ME. Ever since I tore the meniscus in college. So glad to have some exercises to help my right knee, that acknowledge the struggle!
I’ve added this to my daily routine. It’s only been a couple of weeks but I can now bend my left knee further than 90 degrees without being terrified and in severe pain. Thank you so much.
I love stuff like this! It's so important to do the slower light movements and yet exercise/fitness channels miss this. I've realized as I age I just can't skip this and go right into a workout anymore. Plus, its relaxing and helps me focus my brain as well. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant. My knees have been going downhill for 7 months and all your other knee related videos have proved too difficult to sustain. This is just what I need.
Just done this workout. Not a lot of movement with fused big toes and painful calf and hamstring. But going to give it a go and hopefully will see improvement.
I'm 40 and unfortunately suffered a workplace accident. Now with a much more sedentary job I find this kind of stuff to be a lifesaver for my poor knees. Thanks very much for this.
Osgoode Schlater, I had to google it. I've had it my whole life. Agony when kneeling. I couldn't understand why no one else had an issue. Now I know. You're a wealth of information.
Excellent!! 62 yr old. I've been looking for a long time for exercises to regain strength, stability, and range of motion after a series of injuries and inactivity. This is definitely IT. Thx, Tom!
I had a body boarding incident three years ago. A wave hit my bent left knee and my right bent knee. I didn’t know it at the time, but it tore meniscus in both knees and did other damage that I never addressed. I’m now dealing with OA and my right fibula pops out at the most unexpected times. It hurts like heck and sometimes very difficult to get popped back in. This has had me stop everything. I don’t walk. I don’t bodyboard I don’t mountain bike. I’m 68 and was an avid hiker and mountain biker. I’ve gone through PT had the MRI etc. and the fibula issue stumped everybody. I figured it out on my own, but don’t know how to rehab it. I will start out slowly with these exercises and see how I progress. Thank you for considering people who are struggling with more in-depth issues.💜💜
Definitely would be great to see you getting back to some things again! Even if you need to start with a stationary bike, not as fun but may lead to more!
Thank you so much! I will try this after work. I fell on a very hard surface when I was 28 (1986!). They wanted to operate but I refused. I opted out for weight lifting and keeping all the muscles around my knee strong. Well, It is no longer 1986 and I am not the slender young woman than I used to be. I know that some of my issue also. I fell twice over the last year and both of my knees have suffered as a result. I want to get back to being able to go hiking or even just walking on the Appalachian Trail, which is about 30 -45minutes from my house. Getting my mobility back is part of it. I am getting a little bit better everyday with my mobility.
Thank you Tom! I’m a professional driver and after a 12 hour shift,I feel my legs have lost 90% of my flexibility. Thank you for being a big part of my wellness journey
I've been watching you for a while. I passed your name on to my brother, who today, said he followed one of your videos. I decide to do the same. I e had some foot and k ee pain recently so I gave this one a try. I think it will help quite a bit. Thanks for you enthusiasm and silliness to keep it fun.
Thanks Tom, So I have been working through your videos and wow am becoming more flong and strong. Thanks for this video as well. So glad you have a channel and i found you guys.❤❤😊😊
Hi Tom, just wanted to say thank you so much for this video - my primary exercise is classical ballet and jazz dance, and have noticed some tenderness/pain developing in my left knee recently. The elevated split squat and the hip hinge particularly have been very helpful, my knee feels much better after only a few sessions. Thank you 😊
my new favorite routine of motions. even though these simple actions tire me out, they also take away most of my pain and instability for the day, starting from the very first time I tried it
OH!! I needed this so much. Since turning 51 (so over a year) I've been having so many issues with my knees. Even though I was training to throw shot put, discus, javelin and hammer, my knees have been going downhill.
This is so helpful. Exactly what I need. I feel I’m hitting a block with SMM because my knees are really unhappy with the lunges and squats. I’ll focus on these for a bit and see what happens. Thank you, Tom!
Thank you for posting Tom - just what I needed after my left knee is feeling tight to bend fully backwards towards my glutes after probably too many Trail running miles last year; great exercises I can now do in my studio...👍
Thank you for all the great help and the way you explain how to do each one and the visual is amazing. So I have RA and osteoarthritis, can I do these as well, my right knee is the worst and being able to bend it is awful and painful. I would love to be able to get on the floor again without it looking so ugly.
My right knee has been very painful for a few weeks now. After following you through on this video its already feeling much better. Thanks. Will definitely find time to do this daily 👍
Wow! I just did this and the pain in my left knee has gone 👏🏻👏🏻 I know I need to keep working on it as I’ve had issues with this knee off and on since I was 12 (I’m 54 now) and the last 8 weeks has been constant pain… I will definitely keep this up 🤩
Thank you for this. It's great to see how the moves progress from beginner, weak, tight to stronger and loose. This way I can gage where I need some help and not to fear a bit of pain.
BRILLIANT, THANKS TOM. These exercises are now essential for my confidence to use my knees. Both have been fully replaced now, after 6 operation dramas to keep me walking up straight. Because of this follow along and daily "can't sit on your heals in combination with 2 minutes slow standing march"; Now, after only 6 weeks, I can sit on my knees, deep crouch, and balance on 1 foot without holding on
Wow those single leg balances were tough work. Just starting to get knee pain and want to prevent it occurring so figured this was a great starting point.
If you rock forward at the hip for the last one you’ll be doing what is often referred to as a “dickie bird” or drinking bird and it’s amazing for hip strengthening 🤍
Hi Tom. Thank you for this. My knees are definitely delicate! The feet-on-chair exercises were painful near the end range of motion, but I will give these a try (but avoid the painful range)and see if I can get stronger. I'm hopeless at the toe-bility too, I hope that will improve.
Thank you so so much Tom for sending me the link to this. This is absolutely amazing video and I have started using this video now to try and strengthen my knees. You are excellent at explaining the hows and the whys and it never occurred to me that things I was doing was all in the wrong way. But I feel doing this and over the next few weeks I will for sure feel a massive improvement. Thank you very much for all your help and support. Wish you all the best and thank you for everything you do for everyone and the guidance and care you have to help everyone ❤
Well, another one to help. Osgood Slatters as I was growing, coupled with sprained ankles playing football and rugby really have left my knees achy (at 49 years). Some good strength there as I've been working on years of neglect. But still a way to go.
Thank you for your amazing help, you explain it so well and I love that you show us how to do it as too. I have RA and osteoarthritis and my right knee is worse at bending then the left and I would love to be able to garden more or on my knees in the house and without looking so ugly when I have to get up.
Hi Tom - thank you for this. what do you think about insoles? I think the idea of the toe exercises was to strenthen the foot to better support the knee. Insoles are marketed so they can position the feet correct so the rest of the body going up stays in correct alignment.
I would start with our feet playlist and work on strengthening them, you can change the shape of your own feet with enough time and consistency really, insoles are very unnatural and let your feet get even lazier, only if you had super flat feet and a lot of pain would I think they’re ok in short bursts
Yes!! Osgood Schlatters!!! That is exactly why I'm here. My daughter has had knee pain from this for 2 years now. She can't kneel or squat and if she is down on the ground she needs help to stand up. Are these an ok place for her to start as tolerated for strengthening and lengthening the surrounding muscles and tendons? Do you have any other things you recommend??
I was able to manage mine for a long time with lunge variations and single leg balance, I eventually got shockwave therapy on it and it hasn’t bothered me since, it’s incredibly painful to get done though
As my doctor said, I got soft cartilage (or runner's knee?, idk) while doing bulgarian split squat with more rom and too heavy weight. Now, I can't even squat with weights properly. I even felt a subtle pain during chair split squats while following this video. Hopefully, I will be able to do this everyday to see what it can do.
I’ve just found out I have stage 4 osteoarthritis in my knee, bone on bone, as well as a torn meniscus and Bakers Cyst. I’ve always worked out but noticed this year that I’ve been struggling to kneel and squat. Would these exercises help me, or will they make it worse?
I wrenched my R knee several months ago by stepping too far off a step stool - really hurt to bend it, still stiff and won't tolerate bend all the way yet. How can I get rid of the soreness (all the way around the knee), and regain full mobility so I can run, jump, bike, and use it fully again?
@@TomMorrison Would these exercises be okay for patellafemoral pain? I get pain after sitting down for long periods and also can kneel and bend my knees. My physio told me to do backwards lunges but even a few causes knee pain the day after!
Hi have rt knee replacement I had for 6 yrs i feel the knee joint irs self could go further... but inside the back of my knee tightens as i bend to a certain point, and hurts bit frustrating as i cant sit on my heels..well one leg only....amy suggestions..guys ❤
Great drill! Is this good for knee replacement and ability to sit crossing the legs like a man? My brother had a double replacement and doesn’t have that ability anymore- says he’s disappointed in the results. Been going on 2 years
Knee replacements are tricky as the range will always be limited, it’s best with in person guidance unfortunately, may have to try a few different professionals to get some good guidance
Hi Tom, would these excercises help on recovering from a medial meniscus tear? I injured it a couple of months back and have flare ups when i try to improve my range of motion. Thanks!
my inner (medial) knees were impairing my sitting (Indian style: impossible) after doing a few of Tom Morrison's videos and following along (very very simple movements) I am 95% better. I swear it. My side above my right buttock was just killing me don't know why but after the knee exercises even that's 95% better. OMG, i just needed to work it out. Tom Morrison is SPOT ON. Gonna tell all my pickleball friends about him !!!!!!!!!!
Are these excersises okay post knee injury? I dislocated my knee a year ago and Im so scared to mess it up again, but even after a year of physio my knee has not had much improvement
I've been doing this regularly. My Osgood schlatters bump is nearly gone. I still have a lot of difficulty (pain) kneeling on the chair with r leg ...can't lean back at all.
Cartilage damage under patella, so I've found my glutes, hams, soleus have taken over quad functions. Even adductors are trying to help. Isolating quads - like 1-leg dips, sissy squats can really aggravate it. Any tips for restoring quad functions?
I know this is older and maybe Noone can answer my question but I was a waitress for many years and recently had to have cortisone injection in my right knee. I can't bend it certain ways and I def can sit on my knees due to pain. Would something like this be helpful? I hope so.
Absolutely! If you try to do this 2-3 times per week to the easiest level you can handle you should start to see the range improve, gentle nudging consistently will see improvement, just have to teach the muscles
@ omg, thanks so much. I have been following your vids and doing your neck stretches for a few weeks and my neck which had a fusion from a herniated disk feels amazing!! Also checking out your paid program!! Thanks!
If you have a lot of weakness present it can feel like that but gradually strengthening can be a massive help, we have lots of people that have been told they have no cartilage and the knees of a 90 year old or “the worst arthritis they have ever seen” that are actually fine and train just like anyone else, takes a good bit of consistent effort just
When you bent your knees and sat on your feet on the floor and said ppl with knee injuries often can't do that, THAT IS ME. Ever since I tore the meniscus in college. So glad to have some exercises to help my right knee, that acknowledge the struggle!
Literally my left knee 😢
This is me as well. Hooray Tom! 🎉
Same here
I’ve added this to my daily routine. It’s only been a couple of weeks but I can now bend my left knee further than 90 degrees without being terrified and in severe pain. Thank you so much.
Since this comment my knees have further improved. Not pain free but normal range of movement. It’s a Christmas miracle.
Another update… I can now bend my knee in full range of motion with pain at 0.5 out of 10. I can also do a couch stretch pain free. A miracle!
I love stuff like this!
It's so important to do the slower light movements and yet exercise/fitness channels miss this.
I've realized as I age I just can't skip this and go right into a workout anymore.

Just sat and watched the knee video. (Cat sleeping on me!). Definitely going to start this in the morning. Thanks.
Just done this workout. Not a lot of movement with fused big toes and painful calf and hamstring. But going to give it a go and hopefully will see improvement.
That last exercise was challenging.........but I liked it!!!!!
I'm 40 and unfortunately suffered a workplace accident. Now with a much more sedentary job I find this kind of stuff to be a lifesaver for my poor knees. Thanks very much for this.
Gotta get things moving regularly in a gentle way! 💪🏼
A great alternative for those who find the more athletic versions to be unnecessarily challenging.

Ayyy- men driver! Especially if you keep those doors closed for hours - knees hips back 😤
I’m a professional driver too and my knees are a mess! Just trying to get some of that mobility back!
Thanks ,you help me a lot my knee pain was limiting my workouts

Fantastic idea for chairs. I never thought of it ❤

Don’t aggravate it but keep working with it and see if it changes for sure!
Nice explanations. I'm wondering if this exercises could help with inner knee pain in the back leg in lunges.
Yeah it might help! You can also search TH-cam for Tom Morrison Inner Knee Pain

Yes gentle loaded movements to bring it back up to strength, would focus on your hips and feet for now
I’ve just found out I have stage 4 osteoarthritis in my knee, bone on bone, as well as a torn meniscus and Bakers Cyst. I’ve always worked out but noticed this year that I’ve been struggling to kneel and squat. Would these exercises help me, or will they make it worse?
Always worth trying to maintain/improve whatever movement you have, would be good to get some in person physio guidance too!
you are a legend!
Thanks so much!
I wrenched my R knee several months ago by stepping too far off a step stool - really hurt to bend it, still stiff and won't tolerate bend all the way yet. How can I get rid of the soreness (all the way around the knee), and regain full mobility so I can run, jump, bike, and use it fully again?
You made me realise I’ve been doing most of these exercises wrong, no wonder I haven’t seen much progress!
Can always make anything a little bit better really!! 😄
@@TomMorrison Would these exercises be okay for patellafemoral pain? I get pain after sitting down for long periods and also can kneel and bend my knees. My physio told me to do backwards lunges but even a few causes knee pain the day after!

Hi have rt knee replacement I had for 6 yrs i feel the knee joint irs self could go further... but inside the back of my knee tightens as i bend to a certain point, and hurts bit frustrating as i cant sit on my heels..well one leg only....amy suggestions..guys ❤
Some in person physio guidance would be ideal, strengthening your hamstrings may help to ease that also, knee replacements are trickier to work around
Hey Tom, i'm Theo from Brazil. Hope you're fine.
I just found out i'm having chondromalacia patellar. Grade 2.
Can I try these exercises? Hugs.
it's worth a try to keep good movement in your knee! But, move slowly & listen to your body! Don't push through pain 💪🏻
Great drill! Is this good for knee replacement and ability to sit crossing the legs like a man? My brother had a double replacement and doesn’t have that ability anymore- says he’s disappointed in the results. Been going on 2 years
Knee replacements are tricky as the range will always be limited, it’s best with in person guidance unfortunately, may have to try a few different professionals to get some good guidance
Hi Tom, would these excercises help on recovering from a medial meniscus tear? I injured it a couple of months back and have flare ups when i try to improve my range of motion.
Thanks!
Worth the try as they’re lighter on loading, would check out our hips playlist also for things you might find challenging!
V interested to try this. Osteoarthritis in both knees…..
did it help ?
Do you have a fix ankle one? I have a good routine for my knees but it highlights my weak ankles.
Yeah! Here you go: th-cam.com/video/n6ADu6pRJhQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=blInk8fwcqPRU4aA
Hi Tom ,will these exercises work for a prepatella bursitis??
Would consult a physiotherapist but generally these will be ok
@TomMorrison thanks Tom, I will give them a go and let you know 😀
Do you have exercises for pain behind the knee ?
Do these exercises in this video help at all?
Thus is hard for me but I'll keep going
Little bits spread out throughout the day would be good even! Doesn’t all have to be in one go!
I have severe arthritis in my knees. Will this help?
Would be good to do regularly yeah!
I am able to bend my right knee confidently (split squat) or kneel; the left is weaker and can be painful! Not sure how to resolve, any pointers?
Keep working on the exercises in this video! Just go as far as you can without pain and with practice the strength will come 💪

Are these excersises okay post knee injury? I dislocated my knee a year ago and Im so scared to mess it up again, but even after a year of physio my knee has not had much improvement
Been four days since my comment, and after doing this everyday I can say that my knees are feeling really good again.
I've been doing this regularly. My Osgood schlatters bump is nearly gone. I still have a lot of difficulty (pain) kneeling on the chair with r leg ...can't lean back at all.
Be a good one to take out separate and try to do gently 2-3 times per day!
Cartilage damage under patella, so I've found my glutes, hams, soleus have taken over quad functions. Even adductors are trying to help. Isolating quads - like 1-leg dips, sissy squats can really aggravate it. Any tips for restoring quad functions?
It might be worth trying some isolated exercises like leg extensions at first, either using a machine or a resistance band 😁
Good video but I have a replacement knee so most of the knee bends are not possible!
Just go to where you can comfortably, learn to adapt things to what suits your knee
I know this is older and maybe Noone can answer my question but I was a waitress for many years and recently had to have cortisone injection in my right knee. I can't bend it certain ways and I def can sit on my knees due to pain. Would something like this be helpful? I hope so.
Absolutely! If you try to do this 2-3 times per week to the easiest level you can handle you should start to see the range improve, gentle nudging consistently will see improvement, just have to teach the muscles
@ omg, thanks so much. I have been following your vids and doing your neck stretches for a few weeks and my neck which had a fusion from a herniated disk feels amazing!! Also checking out your paid program!! Thanks!
Awesome! Yes the neck yes no’s are incredible! Dunno how I functioned before knowing them!!
Is bone on bone on both considered delicate?
If you have a lot of weakness present it can feel like that but gradually strengthening can be a massive help, we have lots of people that have been told they have no cartilage and the knees of a 90 year old or “the worst arthritis they have ever seen” that are actually fine and train just like anyone else, takes a good bit of consistent effort just
Tom you should reshoot this video with closeups of your feet so that we can see the motion in the toes and foot you describe.
We have another few feet ones in a playlist too!
Are these ok for knee replacement people?
As long as you have had your ok to return to exercise you can gently try them yes 💪🏼
