It's funny, as a native American we walk this way all our lives. Soft knee.
You guys need to upgrade your front camera. The side camera looks great, but the front one is doo-doo by comparison.

Ty , it’s in every joint , 7 children did me in 😢
Setting the scene: Male, age 70. During Covid I got fat, and I have arthritis in both knees. It hurt to stand. It hurt to begin to walk. It hurt getting in and out of the car. Fast forward with exercise, weight loss. I walk about a mile every day. I attend aerobics and Zumba classes. Pain is there, but pretty much gone most of the time. No longer hurts to stand, to walk, to get in and out of the car. The psychic benefits are there as well, healthy body, healthy mind. Work at being and staying positive. I should mention, too, I was pre-diabetic and going that way -- now that's all gone. What these guys say is true. Long time viewer and (obviously) endorser. Are things perfect? Nope. But I've seen people go down the road of anger, depression, self-pity, self-medication and at my age, RIP. Lesson: Hang in there. Use it or lose it, and work at happiness. It just doesn't happen. Excelsior!
My hips and back were tight…I thought I had sciatica as I had pain on one side of buttocks. I found a therapist on CZcams that recommended the yoga frog pose. I tried it on the bed as I couldn’t get down on the floor. To my surprise not only did it resolve the tightness in my hips and back but reduce my knee pain. I had severe pain in my knees when walking or going up and down the stairs. I tried all kinds of exercises and stretches but nothing worked. I thought I would need knee replacement and given up any hope of healing without drugs or surgery. That’s why I couldn’t believe how quickly the yoga frog pose fixed my knee, hip and back pain. I have to add that when I first did the frog pose, I couldn’t even do one…it was very uncomfortable and I realized how tight my hip flexors were. I kept doing it, in the morning and night and throughout the day when possible. I was able to stretch for longer and deeper with frequency and the relief in my knees, hips and back was almost immediate …especially my knees. I couldn’t believe it!! I’m about 90-95% better now. It’s like a miracle. I’m now back to going for walks daily and no issues going up and down the stairs. I’m so grateful, I found this stretch on CZcams. My advice is stretch your body and try different stretches because you don’t know what may work for you. Stretching is not just good for our muscles, it also helps our joints. I’m now back to stretching and exercising again. Good luck!
As a guy who suffers from arthritis, especially when I’m trying to sleep. I want to honestly recommend a home sauna before bed it’s in your budget. It’s done wonders for my quality of sleep from reducing night arthritis for me.
Have you looked into infrared light therapy panels or pads? If you go to a reputable company (check out Alex Fergus on YT) there he analyzes the various companies he has panels for. He offers discounts you can use. He like the panels over the pads. I prefer the pads as I can use them while lying in bed and it helps me to fall asleep.
Anyway, 9 months back, I was diagnosed with arthritis in my right hip. Arthritis being inflammatory, affected my IT band muscles and nerves all around my knee. Pain was 7. It hurt to walk. I was limping.
Bought a red light/infrared therapy pad, used it 2× 30 minutes, every night and after 3 weeks of that, joint, knee and IT pain were virtually gone.
Now, it's not any cure, of course, I can't briskly walk without hurting after awhile but I can walk normally without any pain pills or steroid shots! I garden and don't have any issues, either.
If/when the pain comes back, I just go back to the therapy pad.
Eventually surgery will be needed but it's on my schedule.
Therapy pads can range in price. Shop around but 1st research red light/infrared light therapy to see how it can work for you.
I recently bumped my elbow into a door jam while walking past and saw stars (💥🤯💥)Sat down, used my therapy pad for about 1 hour, put ice on it for 20 minutes. I went to bed with only slight arm pain, next day no pain at all and no black & blue mark either.
There is something miraculous about what infrared light does on a molecular level.
It just works. Check it out.
I use mine at full level light and multiple times. I have no patience with lasting pain. So feel free to experiment. You really can't overdue it.

WOW!!! What a difference the soft knee walking along with engaging my glutes made on my knee arthritis!! TXS so much!! GOD BLESS YOU!!
I've been doing this for years (the soft knee walking). It has saved me from having surgery. I never knew what to call it. I just say that I try to use my muscles more than my joints.
Surgery is why I'm in the position I'm in today, my knee was shattered in an attack. Also, my lower bones in my leg. They were put back together incorrectly, causing continuous pain,

MRI with contrast will show arthritis. I went through a year of PT until they told me we can do no more for you, your pain is too great. Same with my chiropractor. Went to pain management. They gave me cortisone shots. Nothing, second time I was in so much pain by the Friday after the shots on Monday. Went to ER. Told them Dr. sent me. Gave ne something to calm the pain finally did an MRI with contrast, then they sent me to Neurosurgeon, I had a lower back fusion 2 weeks later.
What I learned: take boswelia mega doses in the am. My sciatic came back, she wants to fuse my SI Joint. I decided to call around and see what else could control the pain. Boswellia did the trick, it is natural and takes a while to get you to the point of close to no pain. I am not ready to be all metal. My body seems to try and reject foreign objects on or in it. That can be a mess!
Love to you! Thank you for the herb reference! ❤
Good to know. Glad you found relief.
read back in control by a spine surgeon.
Thanks for updating us, great to know Bob is doing well ❤
Much appreciation for all your videos…this one is important for so many of us as formerly athletic, outdoor activity enthusiasts. And the best part is the human-personalization bits that complement/go beyond the impersonal technical world of modern medical diagnostics.
I always appreciate the info you give. I will say some therapists are better than others. I had one who actually not only made my shoulder hurt worse, she bruised it deeply in several spots. It took weeks for the bruising to heal and I didn’t go back.
Same here
@@StarsHollow214 it’s terrible. I’m sorry
Such an informative video. Thanks, Brad and Mike.
Thanks for all your wellness information…God sent.❤❤❤
Watch in 1.5x. You’re welcome.
You two are so great. Thank you.
Thanks guys
Thanks for the stretches I appreciate you guys. Hugs from Texas ❤
Thanks for watching, stay well!
You two guys are awesome..great info thanks
Another great video to help us with pain. Concentration on glute muscles has helped!
My doctors used the X-ray I never heard of using MRI but go on...
Physical therapy is making a difference.
I'm doing it online but I want to go to a doctor.
I have the tow shoulder and elbow arthritis no problems with the knees...
I think I've seen the man on the left doing another video for shoulder, I'll go there
Thank you for the information. It us quite useful for me.
One way of doing the soft knee walking is to march, with the knees getting to 90 degrees (high knee marching)... I may still have knee pain from uneven ground or my doggies pulling, but while I look silly, the knee pain mostly goes away... back to my marching band days.... 8 steps every 5 yards with high knee marching.
My husband had a improper rod sizing of a hip replacement 15yrs ago. He fell this year and femur broke BEFORE he hit the pavement. Had a hip revision and hip is feeling good. Unfortunately his knee is very painful, unable to bear full weight. Had started PT but surgeon asked to postpone. Getting an MRI knee, he has no arthritis. He uses your walking videos, hopefully it's just a mobility issue. I will update results of MRI after the 27th follow up appt.
Thanks for all your help and knowledge!
Great demo
I've been exploring low or no drop shoes to try and make soft knee waking easierm hopefully it is a good idea.
Thanks for the excellent video
I'll try the new stretches
Thank you for this video. Now, how to adapt this into my running regime...?
I used to run several years ago and I was told to use my heel first when running as this takes stress off the knee. What you are telling me is counterproductive to what I learned. Did I learn wrong?
you guys are awesome!
I cannot go on my knees are there alternative ways to stretch?
Good info.
I am not allowed to get on the floor, even at my PT's office. I fell several times last year and was unable to get up by myself.
Even though we have been working on improving my leg strength, no one is willing to chance putting me in a "get up off the floor " situation.
My legs are much stronger now. A couple of weeks ago, I was able to step up on a 16-inch high box and then step down 100 times. When I started, I could only do that on a 6-inch high box 20 to 30 times.
I do hold on to parallel bars when stepping on the box, and when I start to tire, I put more and more of my weight on my hands and arms.
I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both my hips in March 2023. I have never had pain in the joints, only the leg muscles. It has diminished as my legs have gotten stronger. PT can work wonders.
Thank you so much for this information 🙏🏼
I’d never get up of the floor 😂
I had a bad fall 18 months ago by simply tripping on uneven paving. I now consciously lift my toes, I'd be afraid of tripping again with flat foot walking.
Also the exercises Mike was doing are not possible with knee arthritis.
I think I may have found “Running Board Knee” as a source of knee pain. Recently I started driving our “tank” which is taller than our van and has a running board to step up on to enter it. I grabbed the handle with my right hand, put my left foot on the running board, pulled myself up and put my right foot on the running board. Turning to sit in the seat a slight twinge was felt in the left knee. It occurred to me that this could be the source of my knee pain. I modified how I entered our tank (Ford Expedition) to eliminate the rotary motion. In two days the knee felt better but not well. I’m about a week in now and it is feeling even better still. Not ready to definitively say the running board is the cause but sometimes “post hoc ergo propter hoc!”
My mom was referred to a very good physical therapist for what I believe to be back pain that was radiating down her legs. He disagreed with me and gave her knee exercises and asked her to get x-rays. The x-rays were absolutely excruciating to get done and then she did the exercises and her knees swelled up like a balloon! She was in horrible pain for several months after that and never went back! In the meantime she continued to have Mobility problems with her back so I was right from the get-go
My images when I was in my forties showed severe osteoarthritis, bone on bone, plus severe in my hands as well; both parents had bad arthritis also.The ortho doc couldn't believe that I didn't have much pain, but that was the truth. I worked on losing a lot of weight and doing exercises which staved off severe pain for 30 more years. I did have both knees done in the past two years, but if I had done it back then, they probably would have needed to be replaced again by now.
Hmmmm…i was told by a PT to make sure i hit the ground with my heel first and to exercise my calves and ankles to make sure i can do this. The goal is to decrease the risk of stumbling and falling. I have knee arthritis but i am more concerned about falling and breaking bones than having knee pain. Seems PT CAN make some things better at the expense of other things.
Can you address pain behind the knee, especially w/ any deep knee bending. Getting down to the floor and back up. Recently told I have torn meniscus in both knees and mild to moderate osteoarthris. Been on Meloxicam (approx every 3-5 days) since February. Not done any PT.
Bob and Brad, what is your take on rucking? I've been doing it to build bone and muscle strength, being super-careful about my form. A reasonable but not heavy amount of weight. Thoughts on is as a technique for physical maintenance?
Does that hip stretch work if you’ve had a hip replacement?
is the soft walk kind of like shuffling along? also, not picking up feet much??
I'm still looking for a good hip flexor exercise that doesn't involve kneeling or having to bend your knees too far. On a good day, my knees are at 90 degrees.
Massage gun is worth its weight in gold❤
Gold has never had much value to me. 😊
Firstly, send my best to Bob. I stumbled on your channel while researching Spondylolisthesis. I have grade 1 spondy at L5 / S1. Nerve root compression from a 10 mm synovial cyst and bulging disc making contact with the nerve root. I was wondering if Brad can maybe do an up to date video on his condition. Do you think it is possible to ward off surgery at this point?
Check out Dr. Stuart McGill’s videos as well.
@@TokyoBlue587 Thank you. I am reading Back Mechanic, this is accompanied by a video for extra clarity. As well I have connected with one of Stuart McGill's Master Clinicians. I am intending to enroll in his program.
Soft knee maybe 50%,60% or up to 90% of the time.
I think avoid the bodys natural movement altogether is a bad way to go.
How can the area grow and repair avoiding the specific problem area.
6 different times, orthopedic doctors told me to try physical therapy. So I did. And results were the same every time. I would go for therapy, loosen up a little during, but my knees stiffen up while I drive home from PT so much that I get home worse than when I left. I am currently at bone-on-bone in both knees. I can’t put any weight on my knees, and they don’t bend enough for me to be able to do your exercises as shown. Any suggestions?
I have arthritis in my hip and PT did nothing at all for me. I was braced for this as I had read others on YT saying the same thing.
Why insurance wastes money on this is beyond me.
Also I don't have stairs
Why do I get fluid above my knee all the time. I get with my knee inflammation and fluid above the knee, but when the fluid gets drained, the pain goes away. But I don't know why I get this fluid above my knee. Please help me out
❤❤❤
Flat foot is better especially if you have heel spurs
I need exercises to strengthen and stretch - I feel tight around my knees (and pain) which shouldn’t be on one since it’s a replacement. 🤣🤣
How do you do this if you're in pain. My quads are tight and in pain. I'm waiting on my MRI? I know I can't do that right now.
I only feel pain in my knee when walking down a hill.
Alguien me puede recomendar este video en Español por favor 🙏 🙌
Can you discuss Bakers Cyst.

I'm guessing these stretching exercises wouldn't be appropriate for someone with a torn labrum and arthritis in hip?
I was an imaging professional turned PT. I agree with some of the informations presented here but disagree with the way this message is being delivered to other PT professionals. Imaging despite it “occasionally” not being as accurate in predicting symptoms still can provide a lot of information that affects a PTs interventional approach, prognosis and goals. It still yields plenty of consistencies in symptoms ( if not, then it should be eliminated from the entire medical profession) Currently this presentation can be misconstrued by many PTs as perceiving medical imaging as unimportant and unnecessary in their practice. unfortunately in my practice i have seen this phenomenon way too common from other practicing PTs. I have noticed/ experienced firsthand many mistakes that were made by PTs during prognosis and intervention because they simply dismisses the importance/ and value that a medical imaging can add to their understanding of the patients condition. Unfortunately the way this info is being conveyed about medical imaging causes a lot PTs to disregard imaging as an important piece of their informational gathering. Their attitude tends to sway in the other extreme of not placing medical imaging as one of the important information to obtain / and recognise its value.
Case in point I’ve been asking for an mri for past year I have arthritis and recently had severe sciatica nhs will still not do mri. Not happy they could be missing something important 👎🏻
There aren't any different hip flexor exercises?
I have a question about whether or not I can increase the amount I can bend my knee. Currently it hurts my 66 yr old knee to bend more than about 90% degrees when loaded with my weight. Not such thing as a yoga squat! Can I push that. I’m sure I have some arthritis, but do exercise regularly.
You had me 'till you got on your knee. I broke both of my knees and cant get on my knees at all 😢😮
How i wish my knee would bend that far to stretch. I cannot bend either knee back past seated in a chair. The inside of both knees..all cartilige gone. 4 months of PT made pain worse. Now i have constant nerve pain, inside the knee below that cap. Anything i can do now?
Yeah theres no way I could do that stretch, looks like a cramp waiting to happen
Take Alpha Lipoic Acid. Read up on it. Helped arthritis and restless leg.
My insurance won't pay for MRI or scan until you do PT
I hope PT works for you. I had an Xray before PT so atleast I knew what was wrong. The PT my insurance told me to go to was useless. 6 times I went. I was on my back with some sort of moist heat wrap, twice for 10 minutes did some silly side step and the rest of the time did nothing else but rest.
A total waste of money.
I read too many other ppl same experience.
Good luck.
What brand of shoes is Mike wearing. They are barefoot shoes?

How is Bob?
Here is his latest update czcams.com/video/G_NHEzh7Puw/video.htmlsi=pOy6pEafGUukEsR_
For great walking technique tips, see videos by Todd Martin.
Stretching that femoris? I've got arthritis, I'm almost 70, haven't been able to get on the floor, much less one knee on a chair behind me! I can't even imagine doing this, even if I could, I'd go into a cramp that would throw me on the floor!
Is this related to why old men take short shuffle steps?
All great advice, but I do get a feeling that your lawyers had a hand in some of the lyrics.
I use Borax to treat my arthritis symptoms and find it helpful for me
Surprising facts about MRI’s keeping you big as hell
Why not work on getting rid of arthritis?! Most docs know nothing about nutrition, vitamins, natural ways of getting healthier, changing our diet. If it isn’t an Rx, they are clueless. I really appreciate all the information you and Mike demonstrate to help us. Keep on keeping on!
No imaging may be good for the insurance company. It's not so good for you or I. 👎 American medicine 😢
Me. It's not good for me.😊
Once again a PT having someone with OA and in my case a new knee kneeling, ah NO.
While you are talking the words come in front of your demonstration and I cannot see exactly what you are doing. Merlyn
Click on the gear symbol at the top of the screen and turn off captioning.
These stretches are far too extreme for someone who has bad knees or hip problems.
Pain is irrlivlent. Ask any 👹doctor.👹
what do you mean?
I hate bob isn’t here.
Arthritis keeping you big as hell
Ridiculous
You guys should have tried harder to find a better Bob replacement
Ouch!

What is wrong with you? That was a totally juvenile unnecessary comment. Mike has been working with Bob and Brad for several years and is an excellent physical therapist. He has stepped up and seamlessly assisted Brad in continuing his CZcams channel. Mike is doing a great job.
@@pattyw7952 so? Bob blows him out of the water and works better with brad . Just a harsh criticism. New guy needs to be more cohesive in my opinion
@@benji_mac So??? What are you, twelve? Cohesive?? He's doing fine. Brad isn't taking suggestions for employees from the peanut gallery.
