- “Thank you Dr. David. I have been diagnosed with bone-on-bone osteoarthritis but due to CoViD, invasive procedures such as my scheduled knee replacement was canceled. However, I'm thankful when you said that alternatives are available like knee exercises. If not much to ask, could you show us proper strengthening exercises for my knees so that I can improve with my mobility, for as now I only depend with the help of my rollator. Looking forward to your kind reply. Thank you.”

"Dr David....you've been a blessing for me with your advice on cartilage repair and avoiding knee surgery. The OS tells me I'm bone on bone and I need knee replacements and I'm trying to avoid this. Watching your videos with the appropriate exercises but really worried about damaging my knees further. I'm 67 and regular with 10mins bicycle at home and pilates 3 times a week and a bit of walking. Walking is painful after 15mins. What is right for me to do? Sorry to bug you about this.”

Hi nun I'm 72 I needed a knee op 17 yrs ago but taking osteo eeze gold an rubbing on castor oil helps my knee locks an its painfull bit some how getting it moving an it woll hive a painfull Crack an walla I'm on my way
I do palates an I use the agillium brace after a day it pulls the bone off bone an I can go for up to a week or two...
I'm in same boat. I'm 64 and hurt so bad really trying hard to avoid knee surgery. Doc David I'm going going to exercise in heated therapy pool . Can you suggest water glute exercises?
I'm a 91 yr old woman from the Gulf Coast of MS. You've consistently inspired me with your common sense. I eat NO carbs of any kind (on a carnivore lifestyle). Your surgery-avoiding exercises have me in awe. My 3 stenoses love you!
I went in for a meniscus tear but diagnosed with bone on bone and he stated in need knee replacement, nope not doing it! You saved me. Thank you ! 😊
Michigan here. I just found you and think you are a very generous person sharing your knowledge and help. Thank you so much!
You’re the best doctor I’ve ever seen
Awww thank you shwkryafaqe7978!!!
For future reference:
1. Low resistance high repetition (like cycling) but use glute muscles not quads
2. Strengthen your glutes, and get constant control of them
3. Stretching with muscle activation 33:00. Use your muscles to your advantage to get full range of motion if you have knee stiffness
I have been told I need a knee replacement from arthritis. Recently my knee was swollen and I had trouble bending it. I have had an ACL repair on my other knee so I’ve done many PT sessions. Yes they focus on quads and hamstrings. So I went back to my exercises. This was making it worse. I did one session of your glute exercises and my pain is gone and I can bend my knee more. It totally helped me!! Thank you so much in just one session
Hey Tammy, you are so welcome! We are so glad that our content has helped get rid of your pain and improve you knee bending!
You are fantastic! I woke up to the glutes 2 yrs ago when my ANKLE seized up. If I'd known about your channel, the journey would have been very much faster. I had to find out that I couldn't get the glutes properly fired until I fixed the pelvic floor (I hurt my back at age 32), and then they all follow. I'm still on the journey. - I'm 75. I can now even jog gently At 65 I thought I was on the way to being an invalid. Finding those glutes has been a lifesaver and I've still a LOT of work to do!!
You're going to help me. I'll subscribe. Rosalyn
My wife has had seven operations on her left knee for replacement. She was prescribed medication to fight the infection/rejections. The medication affected her kidneys, to the point she was put on dialysis. Before the last operation, I refused to doctor that prescribed the bad medication to be used again. So far things are working out. That doctor is in Oklahoma City and claimed that he sees 50 patients each day. Thankfully another discovered the problem and took my wife off the medication. Oklahoma City Bone and Joint Hospital.
There's a lesson in this story. Always get a second opinion.
Naming the medication would be helpful
James mentioning the medvwould be helpful

Hello doc, I'm from the Philippines. I've been watching your videos from 12 midnight till now past at 3:30 AM . I was diagnosed yesterday with osteoarthritis. Before deciding on getting a hyaluronic acid shot after PT sessions, I'm gonna try doing your exercises shown here. Hope it'll help me keep better. I thank God for the likes of you who are being honest and truthful with our physical ailments.
Hi Lisa! Sorry to hear about the osteoarthritis :-( Best of luck with trying the exercises, let us know how it goes for you! 🇵🇭🍀

Hey Linette, we are so glad to hear that you have found improvements! You are so welcome!
Hi. I’ve just been pointed to your video’s from my Brother ( who lives in Wales/UK)
And I’m absolutely delighted with them. My issue is my left hip and I find the walking style very easy and so relaxing that I can’t believe how well I’m doing.
I’ve now passed on your ‘knee’ videos to a friend who is in pain.
Thanks a million. Anne 🇨🇮

I have the two types of arthritis in my two knees something i feel so much pain from Jamaica
Glad i found this video. Im a month out from left hip surgery and im out of pain. I was told my hips and knees are bone on bone. My right hip isn't bothering me but my knees are really bothering me. Im going to try your glutes strengthening to see if I can get relief for my knees. My X-rays show that my right knee is out of alignment. Its not in the groove where it should be. It has been like this for years.
You make so much sense and helped me so much with my OA knee!! God Bless you. Wish you were here in CT!
Thank you for the most concise and helpful recommendation. 🙏👍
Thank you for sharing Dr. David, I'm happy to be more informed now. I wish you shared more besides bridge exercises to strengthen the glute. I will check your other videos. You were so helpful. Much appreciated.
I'm from Blind Bay, British Columbia. I'm awaiting a total knee joint replacement. My knee is bone on bone. I am thrilled to find exercises that may make it easier and less painful to walk.
Thank you Dr for this very educational live session. Also, appreciate the links to the other videos, especially how to walk on stairs properly.

Hello Dr. David 🙋🏾♀️
I was scheduled once again for knee surgery Jan. 2023 and chickened out again. It really scares me! Even more than the Breast Cancer Surgery I had back in 2017. I'm going to do exactly what you say. I'm hoping this will help me. I was told it's bone on bone...but the pain has gotten so much better after losing some weight. I will stop exercising my Quads & will do your Glutes exercises! That table leg swing exercise has really helped me so much! I just wanted to Thank you for your video & helping us without surgery!!❤️❤️
Hey Jacqueline, so sorry to hear about your bone on bone knee. It can be scary, but you are taking the right steps if you are trying to avoid surgery! Keep working on those glutes and keep us updated on how you are doing!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thanks Dr.!!! I will be working my Glutes religiously!!🙏🏾 Thanks so much for replying Sr.!♥️
I tried the table leg swings and found it very relaxing
Thanks a lot

Hello Dr🙋🏾♀️
Just wanted to give you a update...it's been about 9 months now and I'm doing terrific!! I've now lost a total of 62 lbs! As I told you before I have been doing your exercises religiously. I've also been following a strick Ketogenic Diet and the inflammation in my knees & elsewhere has almost disappeared! I feel absolutely no pain at all in my knees! Thanks again Doctor ❤️❤️
So glad I found you!. I have had 2 meniscus surgeries and now my Dr surgeon tells me I'm bone on bone and need a full knee replacement. I do not want to do this surgery since I have MS. I've been going to physio for 4 yrs and now I'm trying fix my knee seeing a chiropractor. I am going to give myself a year to try and fix this to avoid surgery. And yes it's osteoarthritis I have in my knee.
I also have a meniscus tear from a fall and it has taken me 3 years to find the right physiotherapist n chiripractist. Didn't know they have such diverse approaches. One kept printing out exercise routines, not understanding how to push on despite the pain, as advised 'no pain,no gain'... I had to stop as they didnt improve the inflammations. I went to different ones but didnt improve until I saw Dr David's videos. His advices are to strengthen the glutes and always exercise enough before it hurts. Something I had to experiment and adjust as inflammation easily hinders progress. Dr David rightly suggested, 'low resistance,high frequency' rather than 'no pain,no gain'. Thanks to Dr David I gain much more strength now to walk without the walker. Another physical therapist's videos that I check out is Will Harlow, HT Physio over-50s Specialist. I am so blessed to have Dr David's and Will's professional expertise otherwise, according to my doctors, surgeries are often thwarted as the better option. I'm writing from Australia.

On the subject of orthotics, I can’t imagine walking without my knee sleeves, for me it definitely helps, I think my knees would be much worse without them. What I’m surprised that you didn’t mention, was how important it is to wear the proper footwear (especially flip flops- I think for preventing injuries), that’s how I got my heel spurs, from wearing my shoes long after the soles wore out! You’re amazing 🤩, though, I just subscribed to you.

Hi Manual. Listened to your video and I benefited, thank you. Very grateful to as I can now think about my knee , bone on bone and not to overdo the physical activity, by resting the knee and not forcing it with excess movement. I must say that when I had no stairs where I moved to for a few years, my knees improved a lot and the pain went. Now with stairs, you have taught me how to take extra care overall, thanks again
Thank you for so much information
Just discovered you. You have a life long fan if you stay logical like this! I am still unhappy with the "physical therapy" I got last year for not being able to walk more than a few steps without bad pain. I have psoriatic arthritis BUT like many people, I have more than 1 kind of arthritis. I was a competitive skater and still have very, very strong quads and old injuries. Has anyONE EVER paid any attention to that? No. Everyone goes straight for PsA as the sole diagnosis and strengthening quads as the sole non-med treatment (but straight to drugs first).
I already feel some relief, albeit temporary at this stage, just doing the few glute stretches you are showing.
I will have to look for hand and shoulder exercises, plus more on this rest idea. You probably already know from the skating history that my philosophy is "Oh. You fell? Ok. Get up and do it again."
I'm doing everything seated right now.
Ready to buy a motorhome and come stay there while you run me through everything.
Hey Lindaray,
Thanks for sharing your story. Being a competitive skater must have been so much fun. yes I can see how you have been over working your quads. When that happens your body wants to turn them on all the time. So the idea is getting those to relax and increase the dependence your gluts for activities will be most beneficial for you!! We have great RV spots by the mountains.

I agree with you!!! I'm here for this great advice✌️👋🤞👍
I have bone on bone on my left knee. My knee is getting more and more straight as time passes. I can bend my knee at less than 45 degrees! It’s making me limp as I walk. PT in the past I’ve seen only teach me to strengthen my Quads!! Thanks to you my same knee no longer buckle by strengthening my glutes!! 😄👍
I love the idea of avoiding surgery! Thank you!
The three years I was cycling and swimming only but not walking outside my home my knee was fine but now as you say I was cycling with a lot of resistance. So now thanks for the last month I have had to give up my love of cycling my only outlet to pause raiser but knee to painful thanks I will try what you said when my knee calms down. I think your channel is very good and I have had some training such as sports message therapy. I can see you seem very good at e plaining cures and I feel I can trust you unlike some. God Bless
This is fantastic. Doctors you must understand, we go to see a doctor and they don't even touch you nothing. Get some over the counter pain pills and live with it. That is an appointment. I'm really into home workouts and now working on my butt muscles to reduce using my thigh muscles. It really takes time to learn how to work the muscles this way and I really have to start alone to concentrate. Great stuff. The key for me from this video is reducing speed.
Hey @patlalla148, it is great that you are understanding this! Make sure to slow down and get the glute technique right! Best of luck to you on your knee health!!!!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you. It's concentration for me.
I have bone on bone pain which is excruciating as well as the noise in the knee, well I should say I did but since I have been watching your videos the one where you said place a small hand towel behind the knee and place the leg on the bed and slowly lower and hold also the swinging gently back and forth I am ecstatic it has been so long since I was without pain so I am doing these exercises 2/3 per day and thinking before kneeling or climbing a ladder or pruning trees taking a break instead of going non stop until I am finished. So I just want to say thank you so very much . ❤️

Doc, great videos. I’m a double TKR candidate at 64. I’m supposed to set up the appointment, but I’m really not wanting surgery. I just recently started working on the gluts as you said. I wonder what exercises I can do to correct my balance. My gate has changed and I try to compensate for the lack of balance I feel. I often lean to the left or to the right while walking and need to quickly correct so as not to fall. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge.

I had knee surgery in April of 1976 so I've had decades of experience recovering. The OS said it'd last 25 years maybe and I'd need replacement. It lasted till this year.
Swimming is by far best exercise for arthritic knee. Lap swimming. Soooo boring but knee strength way Betta.
I rode 25 miles on electric bike more fun than swimming.
Is it ok to continue to take Diclofenac for pain while exercising? Thank you, Linda
Anders sweden..YOU ARE GOOD.. EVERY WORD MAKES SO MUCH SENSE...THNX
Thank you for this information. I’ve been walking with my toes pointing forward, and every step has hurt for months. I’m squeezing alternate glutes and pointing toes out a bit and the pain is greatly diminished. Thank you! I hurt my knees 50 years ago, I’m 68 with osteoarthritis and a meniscus issue. I am going to start this today. I’ll keep you posted on my improvement. I do not want surgery, I want to heal this problem. Thank you, I’m from Ennis, MT. 😊
I'd love to hear how your recovery goes. Best wishes in speedy recovery.
Subscribed, this is much more useful than the physio. He had me doing knee drivers step up on the first step (which would really set my knee off). I have seen your video on going up stairs which I will try to implement in that exercise. Then it was crab walks with a light resistance band on the feet (knee not overly fond of that exercise either but it doesn't hurt as much), knee bridges which I initially found easy then he told me I had to extend the left leg - those are just too hard and I don't think I'm balancing my weight in the right place and finally at the end I had to do what he called divers which are the same as a single leg deadlift without a weight. This week it was so exhausting doing some of them (the bridges) that they have been slipping my mind! Today I started doing the knee drives, which I had to space out because the knee started hurting. I am on 3 sets of 10. (3 sets for everything to varying numbers) I didn't do anything else because the knee never stopped hurting. Hopefully the pain will be gone by tomorrow. I was told by my doctor when he prescribed osteoarthritis that I needed to push through the pain otherwise my knee would seize up.
Hey Ok Write, sorry to hear that you're dealing with this :-(
We see it too much sadly. We completely, 100% disagree that you need to push through the pain. The only time to push through pain is if you've just had surgery and you NEED to get more motion. But if that is not the case, then you should only do exercises that feel good on your knees. If all you have is osteoarthrtis, then you've got to start with training your glutes and letting your knees calm down gradually. Here are all our knee arthritis videos:

I'm from SE Arizona, not watching this in real time. My knees are so painful to walk ok. I sleep in a recliner which helps a lot. My x rays show not really bone on bone, the cartilage is getting worn down because of the stress I put on it (another story). But they both creak and grate on each other. I watched just one other video from you, and I'm going to try and walk outside just a short distance tomorrow for a start. We'll see what happens after that. I have to loosen up a bit in the house before I do anything at all. I'm going to keep follow you and see what happens...
I sure wish your practice was in Louisiana! You are PHENOMENAL! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Good evening. I am watching from Kingston, Jamaica in the carribbean. I like your programs...your tips are helpful.
Dr. David,
You rare doing a great job. I appreciate your dedication and sincerity for patients like me. So far watching your video I am convinced that at this age I should avoid the surgery and keep strengthening my Glutes.
So I am seeking your advice. Here is my current condition.
Age: 70 yrs., 5’-5” tall, Weight: 138 lbs.
Exercise: On average 3 days per week least 30 min., per day. as directed by the N euro-Therapist.
Ostia Arthritis since 2016: Taking 1.5mg Meloxicam on need basis. (2023 left knee MRI, no meniscus tear or bursa but the Petillar cartriledge is almost worn out.) Cortisone injection, Uflexa gel injections had no impact on the pain or arrested movement on the joint. Glucosamine tablets did not help. Orthopedic surgeon has given his final say; go for Knee replacement. But am very hesitant to take such a course now So I am waiting to see a Pain specialist.
Hey Muneem, so sorry to hear that you have been struggling so much with your knee osteoarthritis :-( This can be really tough, but there are other things you can do to help with this. We have a great playlist of videos specifically for knee osteoarthritis to help restore the muscular balance at the knee and allow the knee to begin healing. Here is that playlist:

I did the online course by dr david, worked great! Made a pause and now are redoing the course to follow the instructions correctly. Totally worth your money. Good bless!
Hi Doc! When on my Airdyne station bicycle, do I push pedals with my heel or front of foot?
NP @ OP instructions were to use push heel down. But that really fires my quads.
Any advice.
Thank you.
Peace and Blessings
Thank you Dr David, I can hear you, I am from Queensland Australia, thank you so much for your videos ❤
You are the best! No dooctors ever told me about strengthening my glutes, you are 100 percent on the right track, ever since my friend Nikita sent me your link, I have taken your suggestions,
You helped cure my neck pain with the arm stretch overhead and the glute exercises are helping my weak stomach muscles and it seems that my hiatal hernia is not as bad, Thank you so much,
Also, i had a few injuries, in past, which I plan to look up most of your videos to get more help, many blessings to you and your family! I live in New Jersey, but maybe one day will get to visit your clinic.
Take care and stay safe, Marie
Love the advice and passion about *not* strengthening the quads! I think my quads are super strong, since I was a fencer back in the day and have done extensive squats and lunges. Bridges can sometimes cause cramping on the backs of my thighs. How to address cramps/cramping? Thanks for all you do and for all the videos!
Electrolytes really help me!

Hi David. Watching from South Africa... blessings to you for helping us. Have bone on bone AO
Thanks for your explanations and enthusiasm.
You are very welcome, Vincent! We love to provide this service!
I am from Bangladesh. Have a lot of pain in my right knee. Have swelling on that leg too. Your exercise would be helpful. Thank you.
For a month now, I have been having mild pain in my right knee, worse in bed. Tylenol helps. I use a wrap around the knee at night. You are the only one who has mentioned strengthening the glutes. This makes sense to me. I am an MD myself.

To do with descending the stairs, I have for at least 8 years now, walked down the stairs sideways, it seems to be easier on my joints & less pain, I climb the stairs that way too, but I focus more on the descension compared to ascension, but I agree that I need to work on my glutes (I thought mb, I just didn’t want to do the wrong exercises), now I know. This video was AWESOME 👏 I’m glad I came across it 😃 Thanks ❤
Thank u Dr David you are the best Dr .U are an honest Dr .God Bless U .
