Every thing you said is exactly what I searched and needed to know for more than a year. You fill the missing link between the doctors, physiotherapists and orthopedic. Your explanation of the ACL, glut and quads are easy to understand. I am 71, had a fall about one and half years ago. There is a meniscus tear and arthritis, been in pain every time I walk, even after seeing the doctors and exercise therapists multiple times. I had the scan, MRI, cortisone injections, exercises. Your comments about doctors, exercise physios are exactly what I experienced. They gave confusing advices, not talking down each other's advice and did not say, you have done, to ease up when pain and swelling increased. The physio said 'no pain, no gain' 'do 30 reps...'. The doctor recommended knee surgery. As you said, it is such an individual condition, no textbook recommendation fixes everyone. I am allergic to painkillers so I avoid tablets as long as I could. I kept replaying your video and immediately feel the relief practising the correct glut-quad walks. I am so grateful to you. God bless your work. I am spreading your video to friends and families who have knee pain. Thank you.
Hey Susie, we’re glad that we’ve been able to help you through this video! We hope that you get back to normal as fast as possible from your meniscus tear. They can heal and you can get back to normal. You’ve just got to be patient and not over do it with a meniscus injury. We hope and pray for the very best for you. 🙏😊
Thank you for the assurance. Indeed you are God-sent. Many blessings to you and your mission reaching out to so many people all over the world.
ok
Hi
You're right he fills in what missing.
WOW I just recently discovered your channel. I have a torn meniscus in both knees with moderate arthritis. I’ve been dealing with knee pain over a year & have decided to have the surgery. I just tried firing my glutes, turning my feet out & the pain is instantly gone when I walk now! Amazing, I’m in tears of joy. Thank you ❤❤❤
Same here. Bless to find his details info. Thank you
I have been suffering from extreme knee pain for a few years now and finally went to see a orthopedic Doctor, he diagnosed me as bone on bone and needing double knee replacements. I'm 60 years old and he did admit that I'm kinda young for this type of procedure and that I should do everything in my power physically to alleviate the pressure on my knees, I did go through three rounds of shots, 2 rounds of Cortisone and 1 round of some sort of long lasting lubricant is how it was explained to me. Each time I received the shots I did experience quite a bit of relief but only for a few months and the lubricant shots I received did last the longest. I think your videos are very informative and are a critical part of the equation and a part I hadn't thought about. I also think that the part that you didn't mention is and I have found to be extremely important is how much weight we demand our joints to carry, we all know the majority of Americans are overweight myself included luckily I was only about 30 lbs overweight but I'm not a huge muscular guy so 30 lbs is 30 lbs. The second part that you didn't mention is diet which is the reason most Americans are overweight and the foods we eat are extremely inflammatory, so I started researching the "proper human diet" with Dr. Ken Barry here on TH-cam. I have lost my 30 lbs in 8 weeks without one bit of exercise on a Keto diet which I found very easy to do and I have stopped eating inflammatory foods and sugar all together, that coupled with intermittent fasting and my knee pain has virtually disappeared. It is amazing how much our diet contributes to our pain and overall health. Please I'm asking you to at least acknowledge these issues with your patients along with the great therapeutic information you provide.
Hey Pierre Bois! We agree 100% that diet and weight are important factors in managing knee pain. Especially sugar - too much is really bad for most people. Nutrition and weight loss is not our specialty and we stick to only talking about things that we're specialists about.
We've seen that most people with knee pain can get improvements without losing weight. That's because of the muscle imbalances and stuck joints they're dealing with that our videos are focused on helping. But for the person that is overweight and could improve on their diet, their knees would likely benefit too.
It's great to hear that you've been able to lose 30 lbs!!! That's got to feel great!!! Congratulations!!!
We sincerely hope that you can escape having knee replacements and get back to being active again!!!
ù.
I watch Dr Ken Berry too ! I wish all Doctors were intergrative like Dr. Berry !
Would it help to get down on all fours and do the donkey kick leg lifts?
I am learning sooo much from your videos!! I’ve been walking wrong and had no idea.. thank you sooo much for doing these informative videos, so we can learn how we can understand how to help our bodies .. not hurt them! All my Drs have gotten this wrong and I’ve had all the knee injections and therapy.. learned more from you right here!!
I started using your two demonstrated exercises on my left knee right portion pain. Twisting leg bone below knee cap and scoop exercise. It is fantastic. My pain just gone. Thanks lot for this help.
Missed chatting on live show. Very helpful. Thanks!
I love your videos. I find them very helpful. Thanks from Canada.
I fell 19 months ago and injured my right hip and glute.. ive been through negative MRI and maybe have 25 % improvement. This condition caused terrible pain in jy rt lnee.. I've been on 1600 mg of Aleve and on a walker. Still not doing too well. I tried so many TH-cam suggestions and not one worked. Your suggestion of turning my right foot out when I walk has been amazing. I am able to walk with much less knee pain. I can't flex my rt glut but perhaps a miracle will occur. Thank you so much.
I started doing the heel lift exercises, quad exercises, and glut exercises...and HOLY COW!!!! So much pain relief! I was getting ready to get a scooter. I am going to try this next. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you Dr. Manual for sharing these techniques with us. I am learning so much on how to fix right knee problem. I just found your TH-cam channel last week. I am watching from Brooklyn ny.🙏✌️🇭🇹🇱🇷
Oh my! Have had medial knee pain for a few months..immediate relief with the duck walk and glute firing! Wow!! Thank you soooo much!!!
Me2 i walk funny too but i left something heavy and hurt my knee and it popped than it hurted

It's really helping.Thankyou.
You're welcome Radhika!!!
Thanks so much! Keep up your excellent work and valuable advice that no one else seems capable of or is willing to provide! Good bless you.
You’re welcome Rory!!!
Thank you so much. This information is much needed. I have had the gel injections series and still in pain.
I have found these to help, just need more glut exercises as a tennis player, my quads are strong, but little strenth in the quads...Thx so much for your videos!
Quad strengthening is what my doctor keeps saying and it hasn't helped my walking pain at all. I've also been told all my life to walk with my feet straight forward, which is what I've done for 75 yrs. Going to give this a try starting today. Hoping it will work.
Thanks so much for caring about us
You’re welcome T T!!!
Great informative video ..... THANKS
I saw this video first and then your second video (walking outside of your building) where you demonstrated the difference between firing glutes instead of guads. Got it! Thank you!

We hope that you can start feeling relief soon. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!🧡
As a runner, I have to tightly coordinate my quads and hamstrings at the beginning and end of my stance phase. If I was to point my toes outward, I would be wrecking my knees because the knee bracing action would be too 'loose'. Going up hill is a good time to point toes outward and activate glutes when they are really needed. It is natural to avoiding the straight forward foot posture when running or trudging up hills.
Hey Ralph, it sounds like you've got your running form down well. If that is working for your knee health, then don't change it. Some runners figure out their body very well and it wouldn't be a good idea to change it. If you are having problems through, then it would be wise to reevaluate the mechanics of your current running form. Just a warning that over using the quads and hamstrings typically leads to over-pressuring the knee joints. If you have knee trouble, that could be the reason for it.
God bless you and I praise Him for your teaching and advice..South Africa
Hi !...Thanks Dr... Vinita from India.... Never knew the Glutes were so important to avoid knee pain...will definitely work on this information..
I had lot of relief after following ur techniques while walking. Please show specific exercise for reducing pain in my lower back pain as i had compresion of L2.
Yes Dr us in Trinidad we are hearing you very clear and you explain every thing , so we can understand ❤
Hey Samdaye, we are so glad to hear that you can hear us and understand! Thank you for letting us know where you are from! We love to hear from people all around the world!
Thank you sir I am glad I came across the proper way to walk to relieve my knee pain I went walking today and tried it I call it the walk .or some people call it slue footed but I felt the tightness and notice less pressure on my knee throwing my foot sideways when walk ing I think this gonna be wonders for me again thanks
I don't know if you still see these comments but I just want to tell you I have so much hope b/c of your videos.
We see you Gail! We're so happy that you have been given hope through our videos!!!
Wow I learned something new. Just standing and firing up the glute. Great first exercise to start🎉🎉
Great information. Thanks
Hi Eric, you're welcome! Thanks for the kind words.🙌
Over 10 years of knee pain from a fall that is now causing me to walk like I am gliding. My quality of life may be at 50%. I have always been active outdoors. I played softball for over 20 years. I can no longer standup straight. When I stand from sitting, I have to stand a minute before I can actually begin to walk. Ortho says I am not bone on bone, but I do have OA. I have had Euflexxa injections at least once a year for the past 10 years. PT did not work for me which was 3 times a week.1.5 hours in the pool and 1.5 hours in the gym after a lateral and medial meniscus tear. I will not have knee replacement. it seems to be the only solution they recommend. I just discovered your website and glute exercises and placing my feet on the floor, turning it inward and sliding my foot underneath the chair. After 2 days of these exercises, the stiffness is being relieved! What other videos you recommend I watch? THANK YOU FOR YOUR PASSION TO REACH OUT!!!!!
STW
Always move in comfort ! When possible !
Hi...i have found that maximum benefits can be got from using glute muscles n core muscles, both for knee pain as well as back pain...like the way you explain it a very simple way for a common person to understand...is my understanding correct doc??
Thank you so much. 🙏
Very. Good Presentation 🙋♂️👍
Thank you Manuel!!!
Thanks so much for explaining why my PT concentrated so much on quads only after my first full knee replacement. Still very painful overall (3 months later) but I can do the "baby" stuff for my glutes as you describe so I will add those to my rehab.
Walking and standing for too long has been without pain . My right knee use to feel very heavy and stiff but now it’s so light and I can move around without pain. Though it’s not been easy squeezing my glute muscles. But it’s been helpful
Thank you so much for your knowledge. My water knee is getting better.
Yes I can hear u doc. Hi from South Africa 🤗
Hello Anju!!! ❤️ 🇿🇦
Hi I've been doing the exercises for the glutes you talked about and it really helped alot with the pain in my knee. I have however recently developed a click everytime I take a step up the stairs which is more annoying than anything else and does not hurt at the time but I feel it adds to irritation afterwards, is there anything I can do to correct this your opinion would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Thank you for answering me back. I will definitely be working on my glutes and go from there now. Do I do my glutes on my knees that I had replaced as well thank you so much and have a blessed day. You are amazing and I cannot express. How do you have taught me more than I got at Physical Therapy when I did get in six weeks later thank you.
Oh my I am so happy to finally after 15 years find this info! I worked out at the gym with trainers! Wrong advice! Chiropractors also! I followed the walking thing! Yes, I am bone on bone with 5 bone spurs, in right knee! Meniscus gone! Chronic Lyme disease and knee damage destroyed joints! Your are giving me hope as I am 66 and chronic Lyme is almost gone including Epstein Barr! I will not bow to knee surgery if I can help it! Been using a wheelchair and crutches to protect my joints till now! This exercise is helping me! Wish you was closer to Ft Worth!
Hello this is Vera Thank you for all the information and is really helpful to me
You’re welcome Vera!!
Thank you. You're awesome
Learnt a great advice
Thankyou soooomuchc great video
You’re welcome Isabel!!!
This is great. going to work on my glutes more. was going to see a doctor about knee pain from excessive walking(job related) before I went on vacation. Well, I think I aggravated/sprained my meniscus/mcl on my left knee on vacation going down some theater steps. Now after seeing a doctor im strengthening my quads and glutes through physical therapy. Says its patoraldeformation and knee cap not tracking properly. I think Im going to put a little more time into glute strengthening while strengthening my quads. .
Thank you for your Information 🥰
Hi Nasa, You are very welcome! We hope you find relief soon.🧡 Thank you so much for tuning in.

Hi PD! It is our pleasure! Thank you so much for being part of our community!
I new with this problem but I'm doing everything you say
Thank you!!......from UK
Thankyou Dr. Could you please send me link of few exercises to strengthen my glutes and quad muscles.
Thank you so much. I am going to do the glute workouts my legs are very strong from 40 years of weight lifting. Recently had my torn meniscus repaired and some kind of clean up of a bone shard? Not sure exactly. But it feels like bone to bone when I walk. Very frustrated I am an avid workout guy and my legs are very strong but I will now work on my glutes! Been 9 days and it's still a lot of pain. I don't take pain meds!
thank you so much 👍
Hey Natasha! You are very welcome!
Thank you
Wow, I have been trying to place my feet in a straight position after Pilates classes after years of walking with my toes pointed out and have had increased knee pain. I recently just happened to start walking as I always walked and having decreased knee pain.
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear Valerie!!!! Yes, that's the way our hips, knees and feet are designed to work!!!
Thank you for updating us on your success!!!!
Are we talking about arthritis knee pain? My mom has arthritis and she doesn't walk much. She also fell on her left knee a few months ago and her knees still hurt. Should she walk more?
What you are saying makes a lot of sense.
Excellent sir
Thanks Dharm!!!

Hi
Am 46 years and am suffering from Rheumatoid arthirtis from past 15 years
am on steroids...
But now from past 3 years i have gap in left knee which is very painful..my doctor advise me to go for operation...but when i saw ur channel i was impressed so please i request u to suggest me...
Thank u
Sorry to hear about your rheumatoid arthritis Saleem :-(
That is an autoimmune issue that we're not the best at helping. Our best advice is to keep your glutes strong, walk and climb stairs well. Eat healthy to keep your flare ups under control. You may need to do some research and experimentation to figure out what is the right combination of things for you to do to put you in the best situation.
😂😂 thumbnail expression is so funny... It made me laugh a little even in pain!
Hahaha, thanks Zainab!! Dr. David is getting into it sometimes!!!
What time is your lectures daily. I live in Hampton, Va. EST. I have a horrible but pain that radiates as far as the sole of my foot; (Right side primarily).The pain cause burning plain in my inner thigh and outer leg., Do you do virtual consultation/ advice sessions. I am 78 years old and have degenerative back problem for years. Never had back or knee surgery.
Hello, my knees pops when I
I sit and cross my leg like ladies often sit. I try not to but old habbit. It feels like a rubber band spring. Very pain full. What can this be?
Hi, Wondering about the barefoot type of shoes. I've read they help strengthen all your feet muscles which then help your legs, knees etc.
Had 3 back surgery in constant back pain when i walk uphill or stairs its very bad when i walk down hill its so much easier, can you suggest anything and thanks for what you do
Watching you from the 🌞 state. What do you do if you were told by the Orthopedic Dr that you are bow kneed and it's hereditary? Any specific exercise that you recommend ?
Thank u Sir
I believe I had quad dominance. I've been following the advice from your videos and the pain in my knees has decreased but I'm not walking as well as i used to. I'm wondering if this could be because i have weak glutes? When you said in your video that 'maybe you aren't ready to walk' it was reassuring. I'm going to stick to the glute exercises from your other videos.
Great plan Lizdenas!!! You're doing the right thing!!! You'll likely need to spend some time strengthening your glutes and in the meantime begin to normalize your walking to be sure you use your glutes. Good work!!!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you.
What is the name of the video on walking with tights gluts?
Hi doctor,I have been suffering with left knee pain,and been on medication, injection and physio.,better for awhile,but again severe, specially pain in back,hip, hamstring,down the calf muscle,on my back lying down,it's severe,spasm like,where I scream with pain, finding difficult using rest room.advise please.

Hi, my name is Yvonne Thomas I am a 64-year-old woman I’m about to get bilateral surgery and what do you think about that? I am somewhat active. I used to be very active but I was amazed about the butt exercises I would not ever thought about that. I love all your videos. I just ran across them and they are amazing. Could you tell me is it best to get both knees done at the same time? I’m a pretty healthy and active person what are your thoughts? Thank you.
Had ankle fracture and knee meniscus tear years ago left leg I wear high heel or medium heel all of a sudden I can’t use hardly no heels more like rubber heel boot and I do out the arch but I done your exercise glute it has help alot but sometimes I feel like something in my back of my knee locks out I feel I can’t walk I was limping my ankle fracture I notice I can’t do much like a lunge
hi how LONG are you supposed to squeeze the glut muscle for during the step. i find it totally impossible to squeeze them any longer than other than at the very beginning of the step .. can feel the quads getting used at the same time and my knee hurting. This is while walking with toes pointing out. It also feels far more natural to tighten the side of the butt opposite the leg that is taking the step, NOT on the same side :( TY for any tips
I am 81, thought walking was the best then one day it was over. Your exercises have helped me lots. I wrote them down and do them through out my day. I try and imagine that scar tissue filling in where my knees are bone on bone on the inside. No surgery for me anymore. You are amazing and so motivating. I check you out every day to get that motivation. Thank you.
I also have turned you on to my son, daughter, and sister. They all need help. LOL
Hi Doc. I've been suffering from left knee pain for 2mos now. Been taking ibuprofen and I followed your advice to strengthen my glut. It alleviates the pain. But the outside part of my left knee is still swollen and it's tight. How can I make the swelling go away?
I get pain when I sit on a chair and gets up from it. Walking doesn’t hurt at this point. I had always have these crepitus in my knee joints since in my 20s. I stand and walk on daily basis. Do you think I am developing knee arthritis?
I bought an expensive pair of orthotics - I've had extremely flat feet since birth. I am 67-years-old and have had knee problems my whole life. But now when I use my orthotics, my feet feel squeezed & constricted in my shoes. Should I purchase a shoe a half a size larger than my usual shoe size when I use orthotics? For example, I am a 7.5 (USA size) - should I change to an 8? Or is the sensation of having lack of space for my feet a normal reaction when I insert my orthotics?
Is replaceing riding a bike a good replacement for walking?

Hello i am watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Hai.. Dr. DAVID
What do you think about barefoot shoes? Thank you for your very helpful videos.
He's Fantastic!
Hi NCC! Thank you for the kind words! 🙌
My knee feels like a ball rolling in the knee walking feel like lashing in place what I did I feel on my back back is fine but I twisted my left knee I was starting to walk okay but yesterday I was doing all kind of thing doing to much I guess will try those exercises
Would you be so kind to make a video on how best to warm up the knees before sport? (I am playing tennis competition)
Hey Isabelle! The best warm up is to take 5-10 minutes doing a light version of what you plan to do for exercise. So if you play tennis, do some easy tennis drills before you start playing more intensely. If you run for exercise, then jog slowly first before you increase to your normal workout speed.
If you're warming up your knees because they're stiff, then you likely have a muscle imbalance that needs to be addressed or you'll get more stiff as the months and years go by.
Please address if you think using a knee sleeve is a bad idea. Tore meniscus 6 yrs ago, other one went from compensation..no surgeries, gone to PT twice a yr since. Currently have very tight quads..doing stretches for that, and working on glutes,but first time I have heard this on walking. Age 72, Was walking causally only in good weather, but pain in knee got worse..took me back to PT. NOW think I know why! Thank you! Lost 71# in past yr, since seeing PT a yr ago..lost muscle tone, very severe fatigue in legs. PT exercise sending me into tremendous low back and entire body pain for 3 days after currently,he is working with stretches only due to this now.
Will start the glute routine you use. BUT, opinion on a knee sleeve while walking please.
Hey Victoria! Sorry to hear about your knee situation :-(
We're glad you're looking at working on the glutes now! It should begin to loosen up your quads and take the pressure off your knees.

What supplements help with arthritis
It’s not really easy squeezing the glute muscles without the thigh muscles . Is there any other way out?
