You know, I’m living proof that with the right exercises and a regular regime, you will improve greatly. I have bone on bone, have had over two months of physical therapy exercises and doing them at home. It has been amazing. I’ve watched Dr. David for all of this time and I’m thankful to say I’m not looking at replacement any time soon. Thank you so very much!
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
Way to go Marcia!!!!
We're sooooo happy that you're getting better!!!
You've avoided an unnecessary surgery along the way too!!!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy wow that's great well done. I've just been diagnosed with bone on bone in my right knee. I think it is from quad imbalance as video suggested but I can't find the actual exercises to correct this. do you know where they are?
Thanks for the hope👍👍
Thanks for the information n..good hopes for cure.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy pl tell me how. You are doing.
I just found your channel because of a severe osteoarthritis arthritis diagnosis and wanted to know what I could do to help my situation before going to see an orthopedic surgeon.
I did the exercise where you sit and let your leg dangle and you swing each one back and forward and my knees felt so much better. I can walk better. Thank you God for this channel.
I love doing the leg swinging exercise, you do feel so much better. Continue to feel better.👍
I have just been diagnosed with bone on bone. where do I begin, because I totally agree with your philosophy. I've listened to many of your videos but I just don't know which one to start first. And how to progress thereafter.
As has been said many times on this thread, your videos have been life changing for me. After one knee replacement I was beginning to have problems with the other and my Dr said I needed another new knee. Thank God I found your video series. After one year of following your “butt muscle” exercises I am now about 90% well ad still improving. Often I can go a whole day without any kind of knee pain. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge on this channel. God bless you!
Hey Donnie, we are so happy that we were able to help you with our glute exercises! We appreciate your kind words and support!
Spent a few days walking with my toes pointing out and surprised that little change you suggested is helping. So thank you.
You're welcome @whatsnext9977!!! We're sooo happy to hear that walking that way helped!!!
Thank you for this information. I did the same just by reading your post and yes my knees felt better.
Same here
I have redefined my osteoarthritic knee goal to being able to live a full and healthy life with a minimum of pain. Thank you!
Great mindset shift Nancy!!! It helps to get realistic once you have all the best info!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you!
The best,most in depth understanding I've heard yet.THANK YOU!
You are right. I have had problems with doctors. .I decide to go to therapy I did not nrrd surgery. Doctor says yes but my body says NO. You are very good for people. Thank you keep it up.
Love your channel, been following your exercises for my osteoarthritis following my xray, went to see physiotherapy suggested nothing except knee replacement. Been feeling better than before. Thank you Dr David for your channel.
Thanks for your video, I do have arthritis in my right knee, I walk every day for a average 1 :20 mins. through all seasons, do 2- 3 workouts weekly. I do have issues if I do a lot of squats, or do right side movements. I’m working on my glute muscle now. Love your videos and your information. 👍❤️😊
Your videos are changing my whole perspective on knee replacement. I have been doing the first 5 exercises you recommend on another video, trying to stay off sugar and high carbs, concentrating on posture and walking right and getting the extra pounds off. It has been several weeks and I definitely feel improvement in my knees that have advanced OA.. I have been taking natural supplements for knee pain for the past month or so that also seem to help. Furtunately I am retired and have the time for all the exercising and then resting. One thing that really helped me was when you stressed not to overdo it with stretching. I did overdo it a couple of times and was set back in my progress. Your methods are practical with common sense explanations. Thank you!
How do you treat PVNS of knee
hey how much weight did you lose
You are right on. And your tone of voice is perfect. Thank you for your information.
Hi..I only recently have come across your video's and I must say I have learnt soooo much. Totally agree with muscle imbalance, wish I had this knowledge 10 years ago. However it's never too late. I'm currently addressing my "bone on bone" with my specialist but will be asking the right questions now. Love your work!! Thanks for opening up a new world for me
Hi
I have been doing glute bridges with bands.
After a day of doing 20 reps.
My knee hurts for 3 days :(
I really really love love love your videos. They have helped me a lot where doctors cannot help me :( i went to a lot of doctors and they just said there's nothing they could do. Im still young. In my 20's.
I want to get better
Thank you for that insight you have made it so much clearer about my knee problem. Love all your programmes.
You're welcome Margaret!!! We're glad you're getting clear about your knee health. 😊
Yep ..just diagnosed with left knee arthritis..so glad to hear your thoughts and expertise on this subject. I feel relieved and stress free just listening to you! Thanks again. You are so right on doctors and what they do. I'd never have a knee replacement...seems like people get that done too quickly and then still have problems afterwards.
Hello Carol,
Sorry to hear you were just diagnosed with knee arthritis. We glad to know it was able to receive some stress. People will continue with problems after the surgery if they haven't gotten to the root cause of the arthritis. Here are some more videos that may help you.
In case you need it, here is a playlist of all our knee arthritis videos:

You are so right, Dr. David's voice is so soothing. And yes, many quickly get knee replacement and are none the better for it. These exercises are a body mechanic changer. I am living proof! All the best to you. 👍
Love your philosophy as it is so close to mine . I am a rose gardener for many decades and have bone on bone in my wrists but no pain as the thin coating of synovial fluid allows bones to slide without pain .
I tore a meniscus in my knee and not as lucky as I did not strengthen surrounding muscles and other knee became involved with pain an Achilles heel flare up . Your exercises have helped a lot after the fact and hope to use other muscle groups especially glutes to take strain off inner knee pain … motion is lotion and I still work 40 hours in rose garden per week approaching 74 years old and hope to continue with your expertise
without surgery!
Continued healing.
Appreciate your honest advice!
Always! You're welcome M G!
" a strength and movement issue." Beautiful analysis.

You’re videos and instructions on stretching are amazing Doc. So glad I discovered you. Thank you for all you do. You are helping many of us out here living in pain.
Hey Jeff! Thank you so much for the kind words! They mean the world to us.🌟
Thank you so much for all that information. I knew that changing my diet and exercising would help my arthritis but when you explain it like that I know that I am the one who can help me with this problem I have to start with me and changing my diet for good and getting up and being more active to strengthen my knees.
You're welcome Donna! You can do this!!!! It's sooo possible for you! You've got to make the lifestyle changes that will set you up for great long-term health. Find your why - Why are you doing this?...for your family, for your dreams, for your favorite hobby...it's important to remind yourself of your "whys" as you keep going. Best of luck!
Thanks so much. God bless you.
You're welcome Gayathri Chandra shekar!!!
Great! Dr, you have given me a whole new level of motivation to plan for next year-end marathon.
WOOOHHOOO! Marathon here we come!!! We're happy to help you reach your goals!
Thank you and Thank you again !
I was on the crossroads …. To carry on with manual therapy that I am undergoing for the past year or go for surgery? It appeared that surgery would be a better option. But you have explained the issue with such clarity that there is no way I will opt for surgery. Amazing! Bless you Dr David…,,carry on with your good work. May your tribe increase!
Excellent information. Thank you so much for taking the time, knowledge and your experiences to share with all of us. I just got diagnosed with arthritis in my knees and I feel so much better watching your videos and hearing your discussion and what to expect. It is so much better to go in to your doctor with some background knowledge. I at least know questions to ask!

You're welcome Al Mi!!!
I am 70 years old and my right knee has OA from a car accident 17+ years ago. My knee was crushed and "reconstructed." I was told I was guaranteed to develop OA. I did well till a couple of years ago; now I have big pain and experience much difficulty walking.. My chiropractor explained the knee problem is making my bunions worse which complicates everything. I am new to your channel and am eager to try your exercises. Thank you for giving me hope!!

These videos are really helpful, thank you 😊
Glad you like them and find them helpful Joan! 😊
Excellent presentation. I have painful knee osteoarthritis and have been seeing a surgeon. I think it is best to take a step back and try diet and exercise. Your video helped me understand it has to be a commitment to diet and exercise. It is needed anyway if I ultimately decide on the surgery. Thank you.
This was a good analogy.
So true! I really wish that this understanding and knowledge can be taught in school when we were young to learn how to walk and exercise properly. If I started early, my knees would not have worn down to where they are today.
That said, I am so thankful of your videos! I just watched your other video of how to walk properly and to my amazement, walking isn’t painful anymore! Like, at all!
Thank you so much for what you do.
Isn't it miraculous! I watched and did that video on walking and my knee pain went away, right away!!!! The glute exercises are no joke, they made all the difference for me with steps, cubs and walking. I am finally, pain free in my knees!!!!!
So happy you are spreading this logical.. but revolutionary angle to overall health. If we do our job the body can do it's job. Big thanks⭐
Hey Tobias, you are very welcome! We love to spread this message all over the world!
Thank you! really interesting info here. Can you post up a link to any exercises/plans for knee OA that you have on TH-cam, there seem to be a few different ones? Thanks again, can't wait to start dealing with this from a new perspective!
Your explanation was şo helpful!

I agree with you about a replacement it's not the end of the knee problem one can exercise pre surgery get an increased range of motion & strength, the pain decreases, might just as well live without surgery. I do like the idea will endeavour to do just that.
Thank you for explaining that. I actually have knee arthritis in my right knee I have damaged the anti-cruciate and the meniscus.. Because of this after 10 years arthritis has popped up on the CT scans. But I have no pain in the knee it just crunches when I squat. But I’m definitely looking into the exercises that you have put forward in your videos. And they are working thank you so much
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Thank you Dr. David! I’ve been diagnosed with stage 2-4 OA with meniscal tears, etc. in both knees. I have lived with bone on bone traumatic arthritis in my ankle my entire adult life. I also have a 2” leg length difference for 50+ years. I’ve never been overweight. I was active all through life (until very recently). After OA diagnosis I felt hopeless. I began listening to you and regained hope. I took your knee program and learned so much! My left knee is great! I’m now working through more challenges with the right knee. I follow my PT’s training but modify according to your recommendations. I was told not to walk at all by a chiropractor…🤦♀️ What do you think about walking in sand? Walking backwards?
U r really honest,who is nt after earning money!!! 🙏❤️
Thank you Shamala!!!
Thank you!! Great information to avoid getting worse or a knee replacement! Wish I was closer to El Paso!

I live in Uk 🇬🇧 and you have described my life! I’m am so glad your channel popped up when I was searching exercise for spinal stenosis. I have type 2 diabetes and it is frustrating as I want to move more but the stenosis was preventing me walking my dogs for more than half an hour without heavy medication. I also have been diagnosed (mri scan) with knee osteoarthritis and meniscus tear in my right knee and the inner half having very little cartilage. I thought I was done for but now I have hope in following your exercises for the stenosis and knee pain. It is also disturbing my sleep as the pain in my knee wakes me up several times a night 😢 Thank you 🙏🏻😘
I have had knee pain for 23 years. I walk everyday using my medication and incorporated 10-15 minutes of backwards walking. In just three workouts I was able to sleep without pain in my hip and knee. I wish I had never had surgery for my torn meniscus because it never helped me. I used to beg to have a knee replacement but they said I was too young. It seems that they do have to be replaced eventually so now I am glad I never did it. I miss not being able to play racquetball and basketball.
You are not done for, believe me on that. About 1 week into the knee exercies I began feeling 50% relief, with occassional discomfort going from sit to stand and going up and down stairs. After about 2 months of exercise strengthening the glutes my knees are 99% better (a little crunching sound but I can live with that.)
I live in a walking town, with mass transit. You can't access a subway without steps. I wanted to cry at every flight of stairs. To avoid the steps, I would walk on flat ground as far as I could (it didn't help much) then bite the bullet and plop my way down the stairs. Even stepping on and off the curb I was hesitant expecting the pain. I am now pain free.
I know everyone is different, but as I read the comments of so many other, I figured what have I got to loose. When I looked at the exercises NOT to do, no wonder I had knee pain, my quads were OVERLY developed with matching knee pain. Follow the exercises and you should find a noted difference in less knee pain. To show you where I started, I would do the glute and clam exercises in bed before I got up. It has been a game changer in mobility, function and quality of life - for the better. All the best!!!
@@pjj.5649Thanks for your comment!
@@pjj.5649 Thank you, your testimony helps a lot. I find the clam exercise difficult to do, since i dont find my glutes being exercised there, i feel the thigh muscle is getting exercised...
you probably won't feel the glutes right away doing clams because the muscles are so weak. You know what really helped me, working on glutes first thing. I did squeezes in my bed as soon as I woke up (after the bathroom -lol) Laying on my back, I squeezed my glutes tightly for 30 seconds - 10 times. I did this every morning to get it into the muscle memory. No stress on my knees, and my quads were pretty much relaxed. I could feel the muscle isolation.
I used the timer on my phone until I could feel 30 seconds. As time went on, I did glute squeezing throughout the day: waiting on line at the store, standing at the sink washing the dishes, waiting for the bus. (I played a game to see if I could squeeze until the bus came - lol. Of course I couldn't but I was still exercising. Not before long, I could feel the difference going from sit to stand and steps became less taxing until now, I don't give them a second thought as my glutes go to work.
Give it a try, trust yourself you will see/feel the difference. Stay on it. All the best!:👍
Hello Doctor, I like to thank you for your physiotherapy advice, explanations and exercise videos. Your skill and professionalism eliminated my knee pain that I was suffering from since Sept. 2021,
I have Kaiser Insurance, and if I had visited my physician, he would have referred me to a physiotherapist, but because of Corona Virus and now Omicron, I refrained from visiting my physician. The dangling /swing knee exercise was a miracle in taking the pain away from my right knee which had debilitated me in last three months. My knee is still in the process of healing; but I have no pain. I think the cause of pain was a minor meniscus tear or irritation.
I watch your videos and greatly appreciate your efforts in helping and informing your viewers. You will be blessed always.
WOOHOOOO!!!!!!
We're so happy to hear this B. Honarmand!!!!
Thank you for updating us on your success using the knee swinging exercise!!! Here are all our meniscus videos on a playlist:

Hi, thank you for your knee arthritis help! I recently found a new procedure called Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE). What are your comments on this procedure and do you recommend it? Thanks Dr David.
Thank you for sharing your expertise, I have found the glute exercises beneficial in helping my knee arthritis.
Question: I have have a rowing machine I like to use (a water one). Will that be okay for my knees? I don't experience any tightness after a session in my hamstrings or quads, but they must be engaged obviously, .... any advice?
Linda
Do you have any advice on shoes. Esp for walking ?
Ty !
Thanks for the change of perspective. Any tips for Ehlers Danlos patients? My first dislocation of patella was age 12, Im now 60 with a lot of OA
I wish I had met you 40 years ago before all the damage was done! 😢. I am 45 and about to have a double hip replacement due to years of arthritis and severe damage and now both my hips, knees and elbows especially all now need replacing. I go to the gym twice a week to strengthen my joints and I swim 1-2 times also to help them plus physio at home and in the pool. I found your videos by doing some research on hip replacement and you got me intrigued. I am going to try some of the exercises but obviously within the range of my joint ability. I know I will have a life of pain later in life but hopefully after the replacement I will be able to enjoy my next 20/30 years + without as much pain. But I will still continue to watch and see what you suggest and try them :) x
Your advice is the best thing I've ever had. My OA knees are dramatically improved since using an ankle pedal machine and following your advice. I'm on a waiting list to see an orthopaedic surgeon for injections first but I have improved so much I don't feel I need them. I take no pain killers or support, unless for long walks of more than 30 mins. I'm just talking about knee sleeves. I'm laying off sugar too. I can't thank you enough.
Thanks for repeating all the pertinent advice that he has given you. I looked up the peddle machine and bought one.
ABSOLUTELY! DR. DAVID IS THE BEST!
Thank you🌹 you made a lot of sense. Diet and exercise is a huge cure in so many ways.
You're welcome Michele!!!

As long as I do my physical therapy exercises, my bone-on-bone knees do not limit my life and "pain" is reduced if not gone most of the time. As long as I do my exercises! Physical therapy exercises for 18 years = no plastic or metal inside my body!
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear OldTubeacct!!!! Congratulations on keeping up your knee health!!!
Hello, are you bone on bone with a severe arthritis? I have an exposed bone really hurts😢
ok that answers my question about knee replacement from the last video in this playlist or the first video of the playlist? anyway yeah, got my question answered. thanks.
Could I ask one question. My left knee ligament moved in the summer. Caused burning pain and it felt like a pinging feeling every time I walked. Took me to A/E Settled about 24 hrs. 3 months later happened again. Resolved again. Hasn't happened since following your advice. It was something like a piece of string moving in my knee. What caused that? It was on the inner knee anterior side.
Thanks for the informative video's I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis I would like to ask you a quick question about what can I do to stop the swelling in my right knee I tried thanks in advance Dr.David

Dr. David, thanks again for this information ! I DID go to a local Manual PT, let them read my MRI, and since I'm walking without much pain (meaning, the right lateral knee became the issue due to miniscus tears). However, he encouraged me to return for specific exercises around the knee area. I have to avoid twisting my right knee to the right, which hasn't been a problem for me. I eat well and go to the gym; however, my own diagnosis is that "sky diving" years ago, having to swing both feet to the right before hitting the ground, may have been the beginning of the "root problem", etc. Or not. Anyway, thanks a million !
I have knee arthritis grade 2 and a torn meniscus at the age of 28. Thanks Skateboarding.
Oh no ! Super Skateboarding :-(
On the brighside, you have lots of time and youth to heal. If you were 30 years older, your situation might be more permanent or severe and then chances of improving it go down.
It's time for you to fix the imbalance and get your knees healthy for your 30s!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy love your Channel And everything you do. I'm doing exercises you present however I'm feeling worse. I Should have had a surgery right after my accident 6 months ago but I was hoping maybe It would heal on its own. Can't straight my leg.
Drs tried to convince me to do the short term solutions, I am not a candidate for surgery due to muscle issues caused by removal of both cartridges 44 years ago. Muscle training is my only solution. Thanks for showing us how.
You're welcome Mehameha!!! Hopefully you can get strong really fast to protect your knees from getting worse!!! You got this!!!
Also the link to your paid programme please that you have talked about and how you would take payments from the UK. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas
Hello dear
Do hip rose tablets help
Please advise
Ștefan from Toronto, Canada. Thank you for the glutes exercises and the changes of how I walk. I went from injections to your exercises. No more pain when I walk or climb stairs. I am almost 75 years old. Incredible how small changes work.
Great to hear! That is incredible news stefanverga. Keep up the great work.
I just want to say thanks for all information .

Thank you for reaching out! Please take care.🧡
Elder brother Will be also applied to my right hand shoulder. My shoulder paining when I move my hand and lifts some weight. Sometimes slowly paining or swelling in the shoulder joint. Please suggest something.
Thank you, I never really gave credit to just how long my brother should have considered himself still recovering from his knee replacement surgery. He seemed to expect that the surgery would magically cure all of his problems.
Hi Kathryn, We appreciate you mentioning this! Many individuals share the belief that surgery is the only way to find relief from pain, and it's completely understandable why they might think that way. Sadly, not all healthcare providers are familiar with the benefits of manual physical therapy, leading them to consider surgery as the default solution.
While surgery can indeed offer relief in some cases, it's important to acknowledge that it's not a guaranteed fix. We've worked with many individuals who have experienced unsuccessful surgeries, which can be disheartening. That's why we strongly believe in addressing the root cause of the issue, which often involves addressing muscle imbalances.
In case you are interested we do have additional information and exercises in a playlist we have compiled for knee arthritis help. You can check it out here:

Thx. I have a OA knee issue at 71 years old and found your approach interesting and helpful. I am a bit more hopeful. Could taking off weight but also essential if overweight?
Hey ivtch51, we're glad you're finding our approach helpful and that you're more hopeful!!!
Weight may be important and it might not be. Check out this video where we answer that question:

Sustained medial meniscus root tear(avulsion), unable to fix via scope. Doomed for a knee replacement. I am an RN; work 12hr shift. Looking forward to my TKR
Hey Jason, sorry to hear about your meniscus root avulsion :-(
Best of luck to you on your knee replacement. We hope you recover as fast as possible and get back to working and doing everything you love.
I appreciate your philosophy and will continue with your recommendation s .....postpone any surgery. Hoped hyaluonic acid would help but no real results after a few weeks since first shot. I quit PT after learning from you that i needed to work more on glutes than quads etc. Thank you !
I had that injection as well last year. No change.
GLUTES! GLUTES! GLUTES!!! IS THE ANSWER! I STARTED DEVELOPING MY GLUTES AND I NOW HAVE NO KNEE PAIN. A LITTLE CRUNCH SOUND BUT I CAN LIVE WITH THAT!!!!!
Do you know any Manual Therapists in the Atlanta, Ga. Area that shares your theories? Thanks! Jill Davis
Hey Jill! In the US, you can find a physical therapist trained similarly to Dr. David at this website: aaompt.org/Main/Public_Resources/Find-A-Fellow/Main/Member_Resources/Find-A-Fellow.aspx?hkey=108c9a56-f793-45e4-b3ed-cefe5d871a94
Dr. David is a fellow of the American Academy of Manual Physical Therapists. His specialty is orthopedic manual physical therapy, which is the ideal specialty for helping someone avoid surgery, injections, and medications.
Normal physical therapists are best trained to help people right after surgery.
It is very hard if not impossible to find GP that adddress the root problem like you Dr., most GP just prescribe drugs. You are a REAL Dr.
Hey mate, Steve from Australia. Its bizarre how you teach so contrary to the other specialists & doctor's.
I initially injured the upper side part of my calf at work. Then developed into patellarfemoral pain syndrome over a week later & then i was getting pain next to my kneecap when my physio recommended me to get back into light jogs.
The specialists & physios all said strengthen your quads, hamstrings etc & the pain will disappear over time with the strengthening but its been 8 weeks since my injury & its still there.
I have bone on bone, yet my consultant says I haven't got osteoarthritis, despite the pain I have and despite being told I will need a knee replacement soon after suffering 2 ankle fractures and a knee fracture about 18 months ago now.
Hello Dr
Dr only my big toes hurt me that at times I can’t put my shoes
What do I do
I will have to look at the links. I'm assuming there are no exercises done on the knees if it is painful, uncomfortable, or one doesn't have cushioning there (regardless if there is a kneeling cushion).
Hey taylorandcarolina!
We've listed the links below for you :-)
There are exericses that involve kneeling in the videos. Just skip those and work on the other ones. If your knees can ever tolerate kneeling exercises, then go give them a try. If they cannot, then you can still strengthen without ever doing the kneeling exercises.

Aloha, can you pls address srengthening the core as it relates to knee health?
Your friend from the Hawaiian Islands
Thank you for an in-depth explanation. I agree with this way of thinking/philosophy 100%. i.e. a joint of a 70yo body will never be the same as it was when 30yo. The best and non invasive approach is to fine tweek movement and exercise.
Thank you for the video.
Take care and good day 👍to you.
You're welcom Cha Ng!

You should train an associate then travel around the Country setting up more offices, staying a while to train associates, then move on. Come here next, a lot of us need this.
Great idea Sevi! If it were only that easy! 😉

Hi Dr David. Your videos have helped me. Two questions. Can knee OA make your whole leg ache including the foot and ankle? Also can cold damp weather make OA hurt worse?
Hey James! Great questions!
Yes, knee OA can make your whole leg hurt at times if you're very flared up in your knee. The joint stiffness in the knee can bother the foot and ankle because of the mechanical disruption of motion.
When it gets cold, the barometric pressure outside typically drops and pain nerves in arthritic joints may over-react causing more pain.
