- Weight loss for knee arthritis is often recommended by healthcare professionals. And it’s a great starting point to begin to fix your knee arthritis problem. In fact, this research study shows a direct connection between improvements in knee osteoarthritis as more weight was lost.
THAT’S AWESOME!!!
But what if you don’t have much weight to lose and you still suffer from knee arthritis?
What if you did lose weight and you do feel better, but you’re still suffering from knee arthritis pain?
There’s more to it than just weight loss.
Dr. David takes you through the research study and then discusses what else can be contributing to your knee arthritis problem.
Here is the research study that Dr. David references
“Is There A Dose-Response Relationship Between Weight Loss And Symptoms Improvement In Persons With Knee Osteoarthritis?” 2016

I lost 65 lbs on ketogenic diet and it helped my knees and back . Then did cornnivore and lost inches I found out the oxalates in veggies and some fruit really hurt my body. As I added one thing at a time found out what I can not eat. Removed them from my diet and I feel a lot better. Now I will Tuffin up my butt lol.
You are Sooo Right😅 I have severe arthritis in both of my knees with a replacement on one of the knees and still with pain, I started an Exercise program 4 times a week and a anti-inflammatory diet and I’m also drinking a lot of water I also take omega 3 and olive oil and let me tell you in 6 weeks I already lost 12 pounds which I never thought I could do because I was always in so much pain but not only that I do have less pain and my muscles are more flexible than before I’m not so stiff every morning anymore and last but not least my mental is more clear and I have more anergy and I’m always looking forward for my exercises because I feel for positive and now I know that it’s a combination of everything😅 I’m also fallowing your advises and your exercises programs all I have to said Thank you , thank very much because now little by little I’m gaining my life back 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dr. David, you are an excellent educator! Thank you for what you do.
You are very welcome Carol ! 😁
I agree 👍. A gifted teacher, and generous trainer giving his expertise, knowledge and skill. Thank you so much
this is such important information and this needs to get to the medical system more. they ignore it a lot. they only focus on weight. i am strong and swim regularly, and since watching you, i've been working on my glutes and my knees are doing better than ever. I sent my physiotherapist a couple of your links and she was very supportive.I am almost 60 years old nd my knees are better than they ever have been in years. My knees started to get bad in my mid thirties and it got so bad. gradually i looked into foods, spices etc, on my own. nothing from my own physician on that. just weight loss. I was lucky to love swimming and i started to get back in to swimming. 0f years of steady swimming. And I was not doing speed or laps ... but i've graduated to doing water exercises and stretches and laps. i feel so strong!!!
Hey Jane, we 100% agree this info needs to be pushed out to more people!!! We're soooo happy to hear that you've been better than ever! That's AMAZING!!!! Very cool that you've been able to get back into swimming and also doing some water exercises while you are there!
Thanks so much for sharing our videos!
Your videos are the best I have ever seen. Thank you!
Thank you Sasha’s Mom!!! ❤️
Wow thank you for this great information. Yes it has been very helpful.
You're welcome Maria!!! We're glad this has been helpful for you!!
Thanks, great information as always! ❤️❤️🇩🇰
You're welcome Pia!!!
As an Australian with OA, I appreciated that you used both kg and lbs. So much easier to understand.
Glad to hear heather. we hope the video was helpful.
Hi Heather! We are very glad that using both kg and lbs has helped you! 😊
Hello, thanks for all knee arthritis videos. Please make knee arthritis exercise videos for each stage of arthritis. Also, please make video on weather to apply heat or ice when inflammation is in knees.
You’re welcome Joy! We’re glad to help!
The stages are not straightforward and complex to explain. We’ve made the available in the Knee Arthritis Recovery Program here:

Love watching your videos from Philippines
Thank you Angie!!! 🇵🇭❤️
Hello Dr. David thanks for all the info you share. I am Jan, I have the arthritis in my hips and left knee. The therapist told me my leg muscles need strengthning. Can you instruct me what exercises are best for me.
Someone on a knee replacement fb group said their non surgical leg and older replaced knee was being aggravated when they did their exercises. I referred to you and how often a dominant quad can cause problems. I linked one of your videos. I think the glut idea was foreign to some and one person asked a pt in the group what she thought of the video. She said she agreed and said when helping those with knee replacements recover she has them squeeze their butt going up steps. I lost weight before my surgery and i think it helped my non surgical leg. 10:24 10:24
I think muscels imbalance is a very big factor and the activity. We need better doctors and fewer CEOs in the insurences. We need people like you.
100% agreed Josefina!!! It's become more about quarterly earnings rather than actually helping people!
Agree! Dr. David is a gift to humanity ❤❤❤. Thank you, Dr. DAVID
I lost 105 (32% of my then-weight) pounds on Keto and it, indeed, did not help my double knee osteoarthritis.
Hey Brenda, we're so sorry it didn't help your knees :-(
But it probably helped a lot of other parts of your life!
At least you know now that it's more likely a muscle imbalance problem!

Thank you. Do you have a list if inflammatory foods or a link for that information?
I was scheduled for surgery and ended up cutting out almost all salt and sugar and was astounded how much better my knees feel. So I'd say those are inflammatory. I cancelled the surgery. Hope that helps.
Oxalate Toxicity is one of my main issues.
Eating spinach in almonds and whole wheat foods when I’m being good and when I’m being bad pasta’s pastries sugar oh a plus for inflammation! The oxalates are the worst!!
What is your opinion of vibrating plate. Does it help with arthritic knees
I lost 80 lbs in 2003-04. My knee pain became so much worse.
Now almost 20 years later I gained that weight back and I am in a wheelchair and cannot get surgeries until I loose that weight.
2 doctors have said I have the worst knees they have ever seen. Stage 4 bone on bone in both knees.
Paula, I’m curious as to how you lost weight. I lost 50 pounds and like you, my knee pain got worse as I lost. My method was low carb. This meant I ate lots of high protein foods - lots of bacon, pork rinds, etc. After trying to make sense of it all, I discovered via the Internet that likely excessive animal protein caused my increased knee pain.
Hi im having the elbow problem how can ireach you
Told my dad my knee randomly started to feel like I have twisted it (but I didn't injury it) and he gave me that look and the 'you know what would help'... yes weight dad... 🤦🏼♀️I know he's right... he knows he's right... lol. Doesn't explain how I got the pain but I know it would totally help!
Hey Michelle, the truth definitely hurts at times. We hope you get to feeling better in your knee as fast as possible!!!
Can you suggest a physical therapist for knee ARTHRITIS therapy (recently diagnosed) in NYC area.
Hey Mustah!
In the US, you can find a physical therapist trained similar 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.
I'm having knee pain now, and I'm seeing a physical therapist. I have lost weight, and could lose some more. I have to admit, after losing some weight my knees did feel better. But I was not aware of the muscle strength. I do go to the gym 2x a week for Zumba. And I walk 2x a week 3 to 5 miles. How is the muscle strength incorporated?
Hey Cleo! That's great that losing weight helped your knees! You need to learn how to use your glutes more with all activities, especially at the gym, when walking and even when doing Zumba!
I’m surprised that you can do Zumba with sore knees. My knee can’t take pivoting or twisting that is involved in Salsa dancing etc. It makes me sad because I love it.
No creo q el peso tenga q ver eso...my friend she is skinny and she had osteoarthritis 😮
How do I find a PT like you that’s understand muscle balance . I live in Nampa ID.

As Indian, I am 73 kg with height 166 cm. How much, I have to reduce to come out from low to moderate OA.
Hey Kanta, it looks like weight is probably not going to be a priority for you since its not too bad. You likely need to focus on the muscle imbalance more.
Kanta, your weight is good. Strengthening your Glutes will do wonders👍
So how much weight do we need to lose ? Did I miss that ?
@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you for another great video! I have Knee Arthritis (don't know the stage) and have - of course - pain from it. I am overweight and would love to hear if walking (5 km every day) is a good thing for me to do? I can only walk if I take pain killers but I got the impression from my doctor that taking pain killers AND going for walks is better than not taking pain killers and not going for walks. Do you agree?
Something else: I recently started in a gym and would love - absolutely love! - a video from you about which gym exercise mashines are great for us with knee arthritis? Thanks som much in advance if you get a chance to make a video about that 🫶
Does chronic knee popping/cracking mean I have bone on bone damage when I move?
Hi Cindy, We are so sorry to hear that you are dealing with knee popping/cracking when moving. This doesn't necessarily indicate arthritis but it's worth getting a professional evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. We have a video we would recommend that might be helpful for the symptoms you are displaying. You can check it out here:“Why are my knees crunchy? | Cause of Knee Crepitus | Knee pain & Cartilage Problems”

We wish you all the best in your road to recovery! 🧡 Please take care. 🙌
Hi sir... Hv been detected frm knee osteoarthritis of one leg starting stage. Can i do road running?
Hey @hinamohanty2343, sorry to hear that you've been found to have knee osteoarthritis :-(
The number one priority for you should be to fix any muscle imbalances you've got. Once you've done that, then road running should be fine. But if you go running before you've addressed muscle imbalances, then you might progress knee arthritis more quickly.

Got it. Just a tiny problem with the concept. It's extremely hard to lose weight and sustain that weight loss. But hey, some of us could lose a few pounds...
I need this info!
Glad it helped Kecia!
