I just want to thank you from the bottom to my heart so much I been suffering a meniscus tear for since June 7th 2021 till this day and I been doing these vmo exercises along with meniscus tear videos you have and I can finally sit down for a while and stand up and walk without pain thank you so much may god bless you and a blessing to come across your videos I can’t wait to start running again 🥲🙏❤️

@@user-cl7fm1uc4r yeah I was training for a marathon running 10 miles for a week and one of those days I was training I twisted my ankle in the middle of my run and after that next day I went to run had the pain on my knee and from there got worse and worse
@@Ortiz_julian13 I cringed on the part where you ran and twisted your ankle... I know just walking and twisting is bad... Jesus man I'm really happy everything is better for you now!
I am a personal trainer and while I’ve always incorporated terminal knee extension exercise, the standing lunge was a new take on this, for me. Thank you for this new tool to use in my repertoire for my clients! 😊
Sir Thx to the bottom of my heart ❤from last month I m suffering vmo joints pain due to jogging n exercises, Whnvr I sit n try to stand, My muscles stiff, But doing only once these exercises, so much relieved, kindly guide me can i again go for jogging n exercises I subscribed ur channel lot of thx
Finally I find someone on TH-cam giving accurate, meaningful advice on exercise conditioning. Bravo, Sir and THANK YOU for sharing good ideas. Very few "experts/wannabes" mention Functional Integration. Best wishes from New Zealand. Go well
I have been told my knee pain is because of poor patellar tracking. The are so many contradicting information out there. I have just done what you did through the video and I am VERY HOPEFUL. 💪🏼
Yay! So happy that you found it. There is definitely hope for you. Also, consider grabbing the Knee Pain Solution program.

Fantastic! I didn't realize my right quad is barely firing at all. Now that I realize it, I will definitely do these exercises regularly. Thanks Coach E!
this is the perfect channel. exactly the info I've been curious about when looking for stretches and mobility, none of the hand-waving and copy-paste reasonings
I can’t thank you enough for your videos, so fabulous. My lack of movement during COVID caused my left knee to become problematic causing lute imbalance and knee pain. Gone now following your protocol, I refer all my clientele to you online to help their issues. You have a good following with my business, your such a blessing.
i have been struggling with knee pain a year after my surgery. after long process with some help i was able to identify, that the problem is with the quad s but only after your video I was able to find the right exercise. thank you very much
Your video, teachings, instructions, info provided as unbiased as possible and just well spoken professionalism is super impressive. Will definitely follow your other videos, even just after one day of performing these exercises I've felt improvements already!
I've been running for years and have had knee paint recently and tracking issues that's started 10 years ago and I'd completely forgotten about VMO activation. Loved the in depth look in this video. Thank you so much!
I think I finally realized the purpose of these exercises. I used to think that all I needed to do was to make a certain muscle strong by working it with weights for instance, now however watching your video I see that it’s it the mind muscle connection that matters. I had the hardest time finding and activating the VMO. It took me a long time to actually see it pop, this tells me that I probably don’t use this muscle enough when I need it. Thank you for the informative video. I hope this will help me solve my painful, prone to injuries knees.
Thank you for being you! ❤❤ Your information based on research and personal experience is appreciated. Slowly describing and teaching the exercises is also very much appreciated!!
Been having knee pain while trail running downhill. Gonna give these a try. I backed off running and began doing more stretching, lunges, thera gun on the legs, and leg extension exercises to engage the quads. After 4 weeks, it's about gone. This video is super helpful. I'll do these exercises. Thank you.
Wow! I did the Extended Knee Ankle Fl-Ex while laying up in bed, and have never felt my VMO fire like that before. I did it twice and felt it actually cramp up for the first time, which actually felt kind of good, surprisingly. I’ve been having having some knee pain for awhile and it’s somehow magically gone.
I'm an ex body builder and you can see my VMO from across the room. I fell outside and medially dislocated my kneecap. I appreciate you explaining the almost immediate weakness that occurs in the VMO after injury. I'm heading into my sixth week post fall and VMO weakness is my main issue now.
I started to develop knee pain along the medial line of my right knee in March this year. My physio told me it was a fraid medial meniscus resulting from arthritis (I'm a 64 yo distance runner). He told me to reduce my training load and do some leg extensions and it should settle in a few weeks. It didn't really recover, although it was tolerable. I ran 26 races in 24 weeks, winning my clubs xc championship, which was excellent, however, toward the end of the season my knee became quite painful. I visited my local sports doctor, who recommended PRP injections at the end of the season in mid-September. Unfortunately, the pain in my right MCL forced me to stop running completely. Today I saw the senior sports doctor, who immediately focused on the VMO. Thanks for the video, I am hoping to follow your program into the future, as until today I was almost certain my running "career" was over.
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. In 2022 i had meniscus repair surgery. Every since then my knee is slow to recover. Im going to incorporate these movements to start my pain free journey.

It worked! It took the pain away and I can walk without swaying. I have bursitis and arthritis in my hip and very bad back. I exercise all the time but doesn't target exactly what I need. Your video did this for me and I thank you.
I have a lateral patellar tilt on my left knee and found these exercises very useful and simple to perform. I appreciate adding these exercises to my repertoire! Thanks
Very interesting exercises with good explanations. I thought that locking out the knee was not good for your knees but it seems to be a key component of these exercises to heal your knee.
Another magical routine from Coach E! I've had a strained MCL for 8 weeks that just wasn't getting better, and one routine of this has given me hope that I'll be back to basketball soon It also seems to help with my 25 year old IT band syndrome. As always, a great anatomy less as well. Thanks, Coach!
He's just amazing and his workouts are so rare but super effective. You start to wonder if most physical therapy channels on TH-cam are owned by amateurs or regular fit guys that decided to open a TH-cam video centered on fitness
I've had patellar dislocations for 4-5 years now and in my doctors file he recommended the physiotherapist do these exercise i haven't got to go to the physiotherapist because my dad comes home late so thank you so much for these exercises
Thank you very much for the clear explanation,it is helpful to calm a bit the pain due to osteoarthritis in my knees (also suffering of arthritis in lower back painful 😕😫). Saudaçoes e muito obrigado. 🤝 😊
Just yesterday I came back from from my physio who told my knees hurt because of weak VMO. You're right on time, Coach E, thanks a lot! She gave me some exercises, but I am going to add yours as well.
Thanks , I have been doing these exercises daily for 8 days and for the first time in years , I can bend my knees without pain when I pick up things off the floor.I started slowly with the exercises to gain mind body appreciation of the movement. Now that I can do them I doing them less often to see how it affects the knees. Before these exercises I was doing body weight squats up to 30 -40 times a day up to 4 times a week, but this never helped the knee pain until your exercises. I guess I had at the least an underutilised vmo.
Thank you so much for these exquisite details enhancing the quality of our practice as well as the body awareness. I had just worked on this older video regarding "Patellar Tendonitis" duration 16:05 when i come across this newer one. (I had recurrent knee swelling as i was 10 to 12 y old, which had never interested these ignorant doctors in the sixties. This is latent now with my 68 of age. .so prevention and care.. "movement longevity" i am on the right track with your coaching) Peace
Thank you! I'll try that. I have pain in the front of the knee and my impression is that it is from lack of balance between strong muscles under the knee and weaker muscles above the knee, resulting in pulling the ligament down.
@@kironsunderraj3698really? A 14 minute video with clearly explained and demonstrated exercises is too much for you? I found the balance between talking and demonstrating just perfect. As someone who is due for knee surgery in the near future, the introductory "waffle" was a gold mine.
I have to say your video is very professional and detailed, but a bit difficult to follow for someone who is not so familiar with the anatomy terms and exercise techniques. It would be great to have more in detail explanation of what to mean by “activate” . Maybe some shots from different angles for someone who is not into the profession but a regular person who get the benefit. Thank you for doing this!
Quick question, I do have EDS Hypermobility type, would anything that you showed be different for someone with Hypermobility? And on a side note, it would be amazing if you could create a video specifically for those of us with Hypermobility. Also, thank you so much for creating such helpful videos and for putting so much work into them to help people as much as possible. I especially like how you show the correct way an exercise is performed AND the incorrect way for comparison, doing this is extremely helpful. And the research you do on everything and share in the video is also incredibly helpful. I seriously cannot even express how much I appreciate the work you’ve done.

My knees are troubling after many ultra marathon and my diy. Will practice these strength exercises hopefully return to the track again Durban South Africa
Great information to know. Very well presented. I have been doing yoga for my knee and hip pain but often I have pain in my quadriceps after walking or being on my feet. I tried these exercises you recommended and it feels better afterwards.
Great video exactly what i needed, I've had bad knees for a long time making me walk kind of straight legged which eventually made me lose activation in my vmo which then led to vmo muscle loss.. i am slowly trying to rebuild them but didn't know how..So glad that i have stumbled across your video.. Thank you
This is great! My right knee hurts (patellar joint and behind the patella), and after trying this I noticed that I have no real control of that side's VMO. I can make it fire up like nothing though on the left side, though. So I'm thinking I have an imbalance that I need to correct. Thank you!
Hi and great results so far! Thanks for trying it out and keep us posted on your progress. We are here if you need any more support :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks! Start with these exercises and do them 2 - 3 times weekly for 4 weeks. Send a report and we can go from there. Talk to you soon :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I typically have very good control of my body - but making the mind-body control to just the VMO is proving different. I think i'm activating it but I really have to concentrate (kinda like lifting the one eyebrow that doesn't want to lift). Is there a cheat movement to isolate it? One leg is easier than the other to activate without firing the other portions of the quad. Brilliant delivery/presentation. Kudos to your straightforward explanations! I subscribed!
Hi and thanks for commenting. It's tricky especially if you have never done this before. You will improve with time and practice. Try gently tapping the muscle while attempting to activate it. This will give you tactile feedback about your efforts. Keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you ever need more advice or assistance :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Hi. For the “extended knee ankle FL-EX” exercise, I have very weak VMOs, and my VLOs are taking over when extending in the parallel thigh position. It seems to help if I externally rotate my thigh prior to knee extension. Would you recommend this as a means to better activate the VMO or do you have another suggestion for waking them up?Thanks for your suggestions. ~ Leslie
Yes, hip ER can help get the VMO going, so do it up! The other cue that can help is to push the thigh down into the roller via glute and even a bit of ham activation - this can reciprocally inhibit the rectus femoris and further help you get the VMO going.
Yes! We love hearing from professionals like you. Thanks for trying it out and let us know if you ever need more assistance for you or your clients :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Have hard time activating the VMO on the extended knee ankle flex exercise. The other quad muscles fire, but no VMO. How do you focus on VMO firing? Both ACL's torn, but no surgery. Wear the DonJoy brace for all sports.
Try gently palpating the muscle by tapping on it. This will give you some tactile feedback about your efforts and help you to better internalize the activation :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Coach E, thank you for your thoroughness when explaining the function of muscles! I had a bad fall and ruptured my ACL and tore my meniscus. It was awhile before I was treated so I wasn't aware of the importance of getting the quads firing immediately until now. My surgery was in August. I'm no longer in therapy but I lead a very active lifestyle - cycling and hiking. I can tell the quads are still weak and likely atrophied . Does this loose flabby look ever go away with time?
Thank you very much. I've recently injured my knee at the gym a few months back from doing deep squats with my heels elevated. Then in a class last night, jumping made it worse and it has swelled up, unable to bend it. My soreness is on the outer top knee so not certain what it is.
Hi from hot weather in South Africa. I love your prompt responses to everyone, which is rarely found on other videos. They leave you in limbo Much appreciated I have a lateral bucket handle meniscus tear for about 8 weeks now. I've been going to a biokineticist for couple if years now. Dr recommended I have an arthroscopic menistectomy after he did the mri scan. Lucky I'm not in pain at the moment but when I walk I feel the uncomfortable catching. My knee not fully extending still but Much better from before Only when I walk I keep the leg straight but obviously it's affecting my other side. When I stand straight n flex knee n move it backward n forward I can do it comfortably n can flex it backward. Will these exercises help me to walk normally
Happy to help! These exercises are a great start and consider trying out this program: www.precisionmovement.coach/knee-pain-solution-yt - Coach Joshua, Team PM
As always incredible work. How do you make sure vmo primarily activates before you start the extended knee ankle flex exercise? How do you prevent rec fem taking over?
I've been publishing content on TH-cam since 2009 and started Precision Movement in 2017. So we've been around for a long time and we're not going anywhere. Glad to have you along for the journey. - Coach E
I really like the knee ankle flex exercise, I think it already helped me with my knee pain, thanks :) is there a possibility to make this exercise more difficult? Would it be beneficial? I was thinking about using a weight cuff or holding the flex longer 🤷🏻♂️ Would be happy about an answer :)
Glad that you like it. There is no need to make the exericse more difficult. Just keep working on it in the way that it is demonstrated :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Great information to know. Very well presented. I have been doing yoga for my knee and hip pain but often I have pain in my quadriceps after walking or being on my feet. I tried these exercises you recommended and it feels better afterwards.
Glad it was helpful!
Extraordinary work. Thank you.
Thanks for that :)
I am suffering from DDD thanks to you followed ur excercises my pain is much better now
That's great to read :)
Omg. Thanks for this. I didnt know where this pain was coming from. I felt a crack. So much better thanks so much
You are welcome.
These exercises rock! Thank you again for keeping me pain free in my field of work💖💫
Glad you like them!
Ah man I have been struggling to get back to basketball because I tore my acl 12 years ago. My VMO was never the same. I will try these thank you sir
Let's get you back on the hardwood.
Thanks for trying them out and make sure to let us know how it goes :)

We appreciate your enthusiasm :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks man! You are so helpful for me! ❤
Happy to help :)
Very clear and good video.
Glad you think so!
Vraiment excellent programme pour muscler les quadriceps
Merci!
Great video exactly what i needed, I've had bad knees for a long time making me walk kind of straight legged which eventually made me lose activation in my vmo which then led to vmo muscle loss.. i am slowly trying to rebuild them but didn't know how..So glad that i have stumbled across your video.. Thank you
You're welcome!
This is great! My right knee hurts (patellar joint and behind the patella), and after trying this I noticed that I have no real control of that side's VMO. I can make it fire up like nothing though on the left side, though. So I'm thinking I have an imbalance that I need to correct. Thank you!
Hi and great results so far!
Thanks for trying it out and keep us posted on your progress.
We are here if you need any more support :)

This was so helpful; I can't thank you enough.
Happy to help!
Excellent video, how to stop popping noise in knee please share video
Thanks!
Start with these exercises and do them 2 - 3 times weekly for 4 weeks. Send a report and we can go from there.
Talk to you soon :)

@@PrecisionMovementCoach thank you so much many blessings
Love your precise videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for watching :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
thank you for a through and effective demonstration and explanation. It has helped me.
You are welcome!
You changed my life. PFS sucks, my knees are 90% better after following you!
Yay!
I typically have very good control of my body - but making the mind-body control to just the VMO is proving different. I think i'm activating it but I really have to concentrate (kinda like lifting the one eyebrow that doesn't want to lift). Is there a cheat movement to isolate it? One leg is easier than the other to activate without firing the other portions of the quad.
Brilliant delivery/presentation. Kudos to your straightforward explanations! I subscribed!
Hi and thanks for commenting.
It's tricky especially if you have never done this before. You will improve with time and practice.
Try gently tapping the muscle while attempting to activate it. This will give you tactile feedback about your efforts.
Keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you ever need more advice or assistance :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thank you! I love your videos. They are very helpful.
You are so welcome!
Hi. For the “extended knee ankle FL-EX” exercise, I have very weak VMOs, and my VLOs are taking over when extending in the parallel thigh position. It seems to help if I externally rotate my thigh prior to knee extension. Would you recommend this as a means to better activate the VMO or do you have another suggestion for waking them up?Thanks for your suggestions. ~ Leslie
Yes, hip ER can help get the VMO going, so do it up! The other cue that can help is to push the thigh down into the roller via glute and even a bit of ham activation - this can reciprocally inhibit the rectus femoris and further help you get the VMO going.
Thank you for posting this!
You are welcome :)
Thanks, Coach E! Putting this into practice starting this morning.
Nice!
Very effective and felt relief in both my knees. Thank you!
Awesome!
Thank you! love your videos- very detailed, informative. Great presentation!
Thanks for following along :)
This is very helpful, for myself and my clients. Thank you;-)
Yes!
We love hearing from professionals like you.
Thanks for trying it out and let us know if you ever need more assistance for you or your clients :)

Have hard time activating the VMO on the extended knee ankle flex exercise. The other quad muscles fire, but no VMO. How do you focus on VMO firing? Both ACL's torn, but no surgery. Wear the DonJoy brace for all sports.
Try gently palpating the muscle by tapping on it. This will give you some tactile feedback about your efforts and help you to better internalize the activation :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Coach E, thank you for your thoroughness when explaining the function of muscles! I had a bad fall and ruptured my ACL and tore my meniscus. It was awhile before I was treated so I wasn't aware of the importance of getting the quads firing immediately until now. My surgery was in August. I'm no longer in therapy but I lead a very active lifestyle - cycling and hiking. I can tell the quads are still weak and likely atrophied . Does this loose flabby look ever go away with time?
You are so welcome and thanks for stopping by.
Keep working on the exericses and you'll improve with time and practice :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Great content, almost 500 subs, awesome, u r doing it right gang.
Thanks for that!
You have been very helpful GOD BLESS YOY 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🔝🔝🔝🌟
Thanks :)
Unknowingly I was using some of these exercises. I will definitely incorporate all 4 of them for my vmo
Let us know how it goes :)
Thank you very much. I've recently injured my knee at the gym a few months back from doing deep squats with my heels elevated. Then in a class last night, jumping made it worse and it has swelled up, unable to bend it. My soreness is on the outer top knee so not certain what it is.
Ouch!
These exercises can help as can this program:

Make sense and most useful!
Glad that you think so :)
Hi from hot weather in South Africa.
I love your prompt responses to everyone, which is rarely found on other videos.
They leave you in limbo
Much appreciated
I have a lateral bucket handle meniscus tear for about 8 weeks now.
I've been going to a biokineticist for couple if years now.
Dr recommended I have an arthroscopic menistectomy after he did the mri scan.
Lucky I'm not in pain at the moment but when I walk I feel the uncomfortable catching. My knee not fully extending still but Much better from before
Only when I walk I keep the leg straight but obviously it's affecting my other side.
When I stand straight n flex knee n move it backward n forward I can do it comfortably n can flex it backward.
Will these exercises help me to walk normally
Happy to help!

Thanks for the comment :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks Coach...I 'll do the exercises
You're welcome and keep us posted on your progress :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Very good and useful!
Glad that you think so :)
Very useful information amassing video
Thanks!
As always incredible work. How do you make sure vmo primarily activates before you start the extended knee ankle flex exercise? How do you prevent rec fem taking over?
Thanks!
It's hard to isolate those muscles but keep at it and you will improve with time and practice :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thank you so much now I feel I can trust a site! It works.
I've been publishing content on TH-cam since 2009 and started Precision Movement in 2017. So we've been around for a long time and we're not going anywhere. Glad to have you along for the journey. - Coach E
Great stuff! Very useful! Thanks a lot!
You are welcome!
I really like the knee ankle flex exercise, I think it already helped me with my knee pain, thanks :) is there a possibility to make this exercise more difficult? Would it be beneficial? I was thinking about using a weight cuff or holding the flex longer 🤷🏻♂️ Would be happy about an answer :)
Glad that you like it.
There is no need to make the exericse more difficult. Just keep working on it in the way that it is demonstrated :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
@PrecisionMovementCoach thanks for the response, appreciate it 👍🏼
Very helpful thank you!
You're welcome!
Hello - Yes that VMO is so important! Thanks for a very informative session. Wondering if you can give me some specifics on the roller.
Yes, absolutely!
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Well what are the specifics on the roller? I bought a stromG 321 and it seems very firm. Can you recommend another?
@@paulascirati8678 that is a great product to use. They are not very different from each other.
