Really brilliant video, Im stuck in Italian mountains with a damaged knee and no access to a specialist. This is a huge help to me. Thanks mate.

Hi Ashley,
This video has really helped me understand more about knee pain. Can please make a video explaining the management of pain on the front of the knee, the way you have made videos about shoulder pain management?

I just found your channel, and I'm so happy that i did 😍😍 i love your videos and all the information and the explanation you give thank you so much ❤️

[bevsucceeds]

Excellent video. I think my behind-the-knee pain from running is caused more from my hip flexors. I hope I can find one of your videos for the psoas and illiacus. Thank you,

[CharAmok]

So happy I came across your channel, absolutely amazing and extremely educational. Thank you so much!

[freaker]

well explained. the first time i got a tint of knee problem in the future was way in the early 90s during my military training. now, over 20 years later it's giving me problem. I know it's not a bone problem or i wouldn't be able to walk and it'll be swollen. so i think it's just tendon strain? yesterday, i went cycling wearing a knee guard and it helps. i should have worn on my right knee too as at night i feel the strained. my doc said, it's because i'm getting old and offered no solution. One thing weird is that when i got the coronavirus i had fevers and joint pains for 3 days. :p

9 days into Rehabbing an MCL and patellar tendon strain/tear. Feeling better already

Great informative video!!!

Could you do a video for clicking ankles too?

[tamtilicious]

Thank you for the video, really informative

[emmystxrs]

Hi Handsome 👋....too gud nd v precise nd informative...Can u com up with vedios for routine fitness wat kind of stretches ND excerise to b done

[Dandelion_flight]

I feel that my knees have been weak and am confused if I should just keep up with the walking that I do regularly to keep fit or should I stop that. These stiffness and weakness in my knees are a result of chemotherapy fluid retention that I had few years ago. Would you be able to tell me if xray or ultrasound or MRI would be best to try to diagnose the problem? Thank you.

Hi there, your videos are inspiring and superbly done. I’d love to have your skeleton/muscle model to help me understand the body better. Please could you point me in the right direction to purchase a suitable anatomical model for an aspiring non-professional physio? :)

The knee is not as complex as the shoulder, spine or foot. ( or hand)
The problems are not superficial. the knee is easy to access because it is not as complex

1. the muscle does not turn to tendon.
facia covers the whole muscle. Where the muscle ends, the facia becomes the tendon and continues to cover the bone.

2. knee pain is not tendonous. The tendon has no ability to contract or move. ALL of that is done with the muscle.
But, the nerves all come together at the narrow area of the tendon attachment and the pain is FELT more at the tendon
but the problem is never

3. The tendon is never strained without any strain to the muscle.

More knee problems are caused by shoes.

Look at a baby's foot - all straight toes.
"we" shove that growing foot into a shoe that is rounded at the front and force all those toes to bend in as they grow.

There are four muscles that go from EACH toe to the calf. As long as the toes cannot spread out, the knee is not stable - side to side.

More importantly, bones change due to pressure put upon them ( think of how people get bow-legged from riding horses ).
"We" have people in shoes that lift up the heel a little bit - even when exercising.

That forces pressure forward on the whole knee and changes bones into the position of bad posture.

This affects the whole body but the delicate knee will show pain more than other areas.

No one is better off with a half-inch, or one-inch heel

4. There is no tendonous pain that exists by itself.

5. Pain on the sides tends to come from a gait with the foot turned out.

The knee is a hinge joint. gravity is a constant.

So, when the foot is turned out, the pressure on the knee is crooked and wears the knee away crookedly.

Walk with feet straight. Yes. It's easy.

Pain on the inner part of the knee can, easily, come from use-patterns and not ever just from trauma.

Women suffer from this without ANY impact because they are told to keep their knees and feet close together and their hipsare wider
and that hinge/gravity aspect.


6. Inflammation has cause. it is always wrong to address the inflammation and not the cause of the inflammation.


7. The meniscus covers the entire surface between the thigh and shin.
The meniscus creates no stability or motion.
The meniscus is a pad. Only muscles create motion.
The meniscus has no blood flow and so, flattens and wears away over time.

If the gait is crooked, the meniscus wears away crookedly.
That is the most common cause of meniscus tears...very common - no trauma needed for that.

8. Baker's Cysts occur without arthritis.
Arthritis causes plenty of pain without any cysts.


9. The "hamstrings" attach at the back on both sides - not just the outside.


10. The IT band attaches to the shin - the tibia.

It is important to understand that it does not attach to the knee or the thigh bone.

"Illio Tibial" - "IT" band - HIP TO SHIN


11. The three angles of contraction of the gluteus medius
AND the three angles of contraction of the gluteus maximus
AND the opposing contraction of the illiacis, the psoas major and minor and the piriformis
are so often VERY poorly managed that there are crooked hip contractions that pull on the NO-ACTION IT band.

The IT band has no ability to contract but the above-mentioned muscles do.

To ever ( and too constantly ) address the IT band and ignore all those muscles, most of which are using very crookedly
( which is not unfixable or mandatory! ) is nonsense.

12.. The knee is stuck with decisions made for the feet and the hip.

Often, the problem is not in the knee but in the use of the hip or feet.


13. Knee cartilage IS meniscus.

14. Meniscus ALWAYS wears away as time passes.

15. The cartilage does not become arthritic.

Having no protection due to the meniscus wearing away, the bones become arthritic.

It is horribly painful and, because bone is active tissue,
the bone lays down more bone causing huge,
cauliflower-like bone growths that can't even bend.


16. It's never just "soft tissue".



So, flat shoes with a wide toes box, walk with your feet straight ahead,
strengthen the muscles at the front and back of the knee and
strengthen all parts of the hip evenly



AND we need to find a way to replace cartilage.
