This channel has been, for me personally, the only way not get lost in the whole rabbit hole of rehab exercise and all the science stuff, keep doing what you do!

[joshhazel]

Great video!! Poorly misunderstood conditions by 95% of media and therapist🤦🏻. This is a perfect video… PFJ is weak so we load the joint to adapt. Nice!

as a bodybuilder/power lifter, i experience extreme pain in my patellafemoral regions and this video was such a needed video, thank you

[donatello]

Just a phenomenal video. Absolutely love the exercise progressions and the simplistic nature of the rehab plan. Explanations and graphics are top notch

[roberthill]

You and these videos have changed my life. Thank you so much for what you do.

I went to my physio and they told me the most basic exercises which didn't work for me, I'm genuinely so relieved i came across this video and I'm so thankful. literally crying <3

[thomast]

Best physiotherapy channel on YouTube. I'm fairly newly qualified and I recommend your channel to all new starters! Thanks for all you do!

[chrisbright]

Two days of this and my Knee Pain feels so much better. The exercises my doctor gave me were great as a starting point but most PFPS (Runners Knee) exercises are similar with no progression. After watching this i realized im already at Level 3 for most exercises and it is making me much stronger! IF YOU HAVE KNEE PAIN SPECIFICALLY RUNNERS KNEE WATCH THIS VIDEO FROM START TO END!

[moonlitmellie]

I needed this! My doctor said, “you seem like a smart girl, you can look up what chondromalacia is” lol, and I’ve been lost ever since

Been dealing with this for the last 25+ years. Always been fit, was in the military, ran and did various types of strength training/cross fit. Been a runner since I was 12, now 44. Been to PT so many times I can’t count, steroid injections, PRP injections, taping/braces, now doing hyalurronic acid gel injections. X-rays/MRIs show chrondomalacia, osteoarthritis, bone spurring, grade 3 wearing of the cartilage on the hoffa pad and femur, all this in both knees. At this point it’s effecting my QOL.

Thank you for staying on top of your research and providing us with information in an easily comprehensible way. I always feel more resilient after watching your videos. Looking forward to more content!

[kamilkozakowski]

Awesome content. Those informations about dosing physical stress should be taught on every PT school cause i think it’s essential for every rehab programme. Sometimes we forget about that

[hammaadurrehman]

I cant trust anybody elses info as much as yours. Its pure, comprehensive, straight to the point and extremely informative. ❤

[robertvaness]

Thanks, very well done. Totally agree that there is not one exercise that fits all, everyone has a different starting point and reps required. Thxs for helping me find mine.

[ashrafjafari]

Thank you so much. This video is life-saving for me right now . I'm dealing with this pain, and I needed it so much❤❤

[haagensvihusklingen]

The quality of these videos are unparalleled

[mejia]

Rehabbed my calf based on your videos last year, now I am here a year later with runner's knee.

[Killa-Kawalski]

By far, the best logical explanation on knees and exactly how to rehab them. On YouTube. Congratulations.

As a former soccer player and now avid lifter, having chondramalacia has messed me up but really trying to just be able to back squat again.

[pplusk.]

This is gold. Simple and lucid explanation. Thank you so much. I have been lost trying to fix my knee. I was advised to not walk much even. And I am a runner. Thank you.
