These are excellent exercises. Not too over demanding so that you are put off and stop doing them, but challenging enough so you feel a difference. Jay is a great teacher helping you know exactly where your feet should be pointing etc. He and James demonstrating them also helps so much.

Very helpful. I’m 10 days after total knee replacement. Didn’t manage them all but will keep doing them thank you

[christinachetwynd]

Thank you guys for a well presented exercises for the knees. I will include them in my daily routine, as I do have both knees bone on bone, and have been having trouble going up and down the stairs. They are easily doable and not too challenging. Thank you

Good exercises... shame the NHS didn't show me them 3 years ago when I sprained my knee

[alanlee]

i am starting to experience a little bit of early athritis in the knee after many years of running. These exercises have really helped reduce the discomfort. Fantastic. Thanks guys

[gaynorwilliams]

Great, thank you. I had right knee replaced 15 weeks ago and left knee replaced 3 weeks ago. I've already been doing these exercises but it's good to check I'm doing them properly and for little reminders as I'm doing them, e.g. "tighten those abs". It's also good that they're being done by someone who actually has arthritis. Thank you both.

Great exercises for Ankylosing Spondylitis 💪

[patriciawilliams]

Great. Easy exercises to follow. With a dodgy knee I am hoping these exercises will help strengthen the muscles and hopefully delay a knee op.
