I am 36, and have had my knees like this since I can remember. I have no pain. And I can walk for miles. But standing up for long periods of time hurts. I didn't know this was not normal, since I've had it for ever. Here I thought it was some kind of normalty, and just good flexibility.
I’m seventeen and I just found out this year that I’ve had this. I also tend to be able to stand without discomfort for longer periods of time than my peers. And yes, I lock my knees all the time when standing… never knew it was supposedly bad. I don’t do any sports.
@@sophiaredwood5825 Im of the same age, I do alot of sports, both my knees were hyperextended since birth, I have had absolutely no problems. My peers thought that it was actually a condition helping me with sports due to my performance in most sports. Just recently I had an acl reconstruction surgery due to a severe sports injury, as a result of it, my right leg is no longer hyperextended but my left still is, I am in an even bigger dilemma than ever, should I just leave it as it is or should I try and fix it with exercises? Even though one of my legs is hyperextended and one isn't, I feel almost no difference.
I didn't know that was a problem... I've always been so happy because though that was a sign of natural flexibility but not a problem that could damage my mobility.
Oh yeah it sure is a problem I’ve had since my teens; it never occurred to me until realized it a few years ago when researching about fallen arches (or flat feet) which is another problem I’ve had. I think both of those issues are connected, followed by hips, then back, then neck and even posture, each overcompensating for the one before it. This has lead me to work one or two, starting with arches and maybe knees to eventually fix the whole domino effect of the body that’s quite remarkable but also sucks. I wish my parents helped to address my arches while I was still young as it’s much mores solvable then, but at least it’s still possible to do so.
Life saver bro I’m 17 and this has pretty much snowballed bad posture for me I go pretty good posture for the gym but this is stopping me from making further progress. Thanks a lot
My knees are hyperextended with an 80° inward bend. Thank you for helping. I dislocated my kneecap when I wasn't working out and learned of my legs' condition from my physical therapist. I was benching, deadlifting, doing leg presses, banded leg workouts, and I still dislocated my patella :') Hopefully this will lessen the likelihood of knee surgery from another accident. Have a great Spring!
Thank you for this video! I am recovering from emergency spinal cord surgery and re-learning how to walk. My knees hyper extend and this has really helped me! 🌞
Thank you for the education. I’ve lived all my life hyperextending. This leads to MANY health complications I don’t have time to explain here. This needs to be more widespread.
Much appreciated. Just found your channel 3 weeks ago and my walking has improved, anterior pelvic tilt. Now time for these knocked knees haha, thanks fam
Thanks a million, man! I just broke my fibula and tibia (hit by a car a week before Christmas), with the fibular break being JUST below the knee and, well, as odd as it may be, I've always had this problem (hypertension), but ONLY with my left knee...as i continue to recover, and afterwards, i am going to employ this technique and add it to my fitness routine. Thanks again!!!
Thank you so much for sharing the above. How about Neurological patients ( who face the same) . Lesion in the hip who are not able to both get on or down the stool Awaiting reply thank you so much
I have knocked knees which has led to me stand with locked knees as well. This in combination has really been causing me major discomfort while standing for more than 20mins. My knocked knees has also made my calves extremely worked out and tight. And I have major pains in my knees. This video alongside your knocked knee ones really gave me hope. I will start adding these into my daily routine. Thank you.
Glad to help! But please make sure you are aware of the footwear you are using... barefoot, or barefoot shoes (zero drop, wide toe box) will be instrumental in helping your leg alignment.
@@GrownandHealthy Thank you! Ohhh okay I will do that instead. ive been using my insoles from my orthopaedic but I will do barefoot instead. Thank you soo much for all your help! Its really made me feel better.
@@heretherewhere7375 hello, have you noticed any changes after doing this exercise ? can you share some knock knee exercises, i Also have mild knock knees, i don't have any pain but i don't like the posture of my leg
Thank you for this, after an accident where I had to have a TKR, my leg that has the new knee is like this…hyperextended. I am trying to fix this, as it is only one leg. It looks worse than it feels. I am hoping this helps have an amazing day!
I just recently started noticing that my hyperextended knees impede me to properly stretch hamstrings and calves, and it’s a bit painful. I really struggle to keep my legs straight, without my knees going loco to the back.. I hope this exercise will help!! 🤞🏼
Thank you so much! I tried the one without the platform. It is indeed very difficult for me. I'll continue doing this exercise, I hope I can fix my posture!
@@salar1586 Hi. Well, I've done this irregularry, with other exercises. I see some difference, but I can't tell for sure. I should do this more often. But I think exercise is the key for fixing any posture issues. This exercise really strengthens muscles I didn't even know their exist 😅😊
this Is by far the best video to help treat this problem! I was wondering if this is something we have to do for years or can we eventually stop once the banana knees have been resolved?
Thank you! Eventually, it will not be necessary. This exercise is develops end range strength..once that range is strong enough, it will not be necessary.
Thank you, I’m so relieved I found your video😊A few questions tho: 1. Should I be trying to straighten my knees when I’m down in the Jefferson curls? 2. How does the elephant walk help a hyperextended knee when you’re trying to extend it more in the elephant position? (I just found this intriguing) I would be so grateful if you could answer my questions. Thanks again!
Great video! I did not have any swelling at all on my knee after injury, and I did not notice my knee was injured at all after martial arts kicking training. The only symptons are mild weakeness on the knee and I've notive mild instability due that fact. I am worried though, Is the absence of swelling a sign of a partial, less severe damage?
Wow amazing information. I have a few questions 1) When you had hyperextend knees, did you also have Anterior pelvic tilt? 2) And with those knees, did you also have very pointy knee caps when you would bend the knees to sit on a chair? 3) did your knee shape also change after you fixed the issue? Once again thanks for the upload
I just want to thank you very much for this exercise My knee has been hurting whenever I extend it, such as walking or going up stairs and it'd always shoot this stinging pain for the last 6 months Went to a doctor gave me pills and it didn't help Doctor sent me to physio therapy for 6 sessions and it took them 3 sessions to figure out that I had knee hyperextension, then they proceeded to "treat" me, while nothing changed. So at least they diagnosed me right somewhat, and my knee has gone from 100% pain to 20% in 2 days thanks to you I am 19 🗿 Edit: i was injured at the gym, idek know how
I have this "problem" as well and I have been doing a lot of squats and deadlifts but I never had a problem with my joints, I never had knee pain whereas my friends who also lift always complain about their knees. I always thought that my hypermobile knees are actually protecting me lol. Guess I try to do something about it.
Mine is caused by one leg being a half centimetre shorter, and I have always had it. It makes it very difficult to do things like dancing, any bending leg exercises (especially squats) because the knee will always twist inward and trying to make it face straight when I bend actually causes discomfort. Now that I want to try to improve my strength overall this is causing me much frustration during workouts. Trying to find any useful information to help mitigate it at least or how to modify my exercises. I will give this one a try as well.
I had a hyper extended knee for 2 years and didn’t know what was wrong. When I found out, I was given stretches to do for 2 hours a day... because of the time inconvenience my knee’s still jacked up so I’ll try this😊
I have a lot of minor back pain, nothing debilitating, but it’s kept me from working out lately. I have a prominent arch in my lower back, but because I have an appropriate pelvic tilt and pay attention to my posture, I thought it was normal for me. Then last week I randomly put together that locking/ hyperextending my knees is the culprit. I’ve been trying to keep some bend in them since noticing, and it feels SO funny, like I’m getting ready to do a squat 😂
I just found this out that i was a problem I was standing still on a line and i went to walk and my calves just felt stretched and i am on a healing process
I was told by my orthopedic surgeon that my knees just have more ROM than normal. I did heavy barbell lifts and Olympic lifts, with lots of stretching and accessory exercises, for years during and after college and my knees always have had this extra range of movement. How exactly are some body weight or lightly weighted exercises supposed to remove that?

Hi im 30 years old and have MS (multiple sclerosis) since 2008. In the past 10 years im dealing with obvious leg issues. A feeling like i couldnt keep my knees straight while standing and my walking is also really disturbed. Like i would be walking with flippers. Have any suggestions how to fix my issues?
Thanks for the great video. I am a now in confusion. I am 33 and had ACL reconstruction on the left knee. My right knee is naturally hyperextended (so was left before the ACL tear). My physiotherapist has set the same goal for the operated knee, and we are working hard to get the left as much extended as the right. If the hyperextension is bad, should we rather not try to achieve that?
as someone who suffers the same fate, pls do tell me if u have found ur answer, my case is the exact same of yours, I suffered a sports injury and got a torn acl on my right, both my legs were hyperextended from birth so I thought it was normal, my friends noticed this condition a bit back but due to my good performance in most sports, they thought that it was prolly a boon in disguise, now I no longer have hyperextension in my right but I do in my left, I only had acl reconstruction a month back and I'm still young, only 17. Considering how worried my parents were, I do not consider them calm enough to make the right choice hence I haven't informed them about this. Before I choose to tell them, I would like to know if I would need a surgery on my left knee now as well or if I can correct it myself or if I should I try to get my right back to hyperextension.
So I got hyperextended legs from stretching to much but what I don’t understand is when Im doing the excercises it feels like my legs are just being stretched further. (I start with bent knees)
This seems like it would make my knee looser? I had a fall onto an extended leg which caused the hyper extension, now it feels kind of loose and I have to be careful not to hyper extend.
Look, from what I've been advised by an actual Physical Therapist, you want to shift your focus to your hamstrings (knee flexors) by strengthening them via some form of a hamstring curl. With the combination of hip flexion and knee extension -- which is what you see in the video --, you are activating your quads and hip flexors, and **STRETCHING** your hamstrings, thus, you are doing the exact opposite of what may need to be performed in order to address the problem. To reiterate, hyperextension can be a result of tight quads, and weak hamstrings. As you've discovered, when you do this exercise, you are only going to make your hamstrings more loose.
Hey! I've been doing calf raises for an achilles injury, but have been doing them with hyperextension of my knees, leading to pain. Have had a problem with knee hyperextension all my life. Did 2 sets of the 2nd exercise and immediately felt a lot of pain relief! What is the 2nd exercise called? Thanks so much!
When does it not want to stay straight? During the exercise or when standing? This is actually an end range strength exercise and if you find it a struggle to keep the legs straight at the bottom, you will develop the strength with practice.
@grown and healthy, I notice mine is like that now but wasn't like that when I was younger because I was very athletic. I do have back problems now and also have a lot of tailbone pain. I'm only 36. Do you have any advice? I've gotten back into being active this past few months with walking every day and hiking on the weekends. Now I'm adding weights and cycling at the gym.
I could hyperextend by knees at will but after a right knee injury, I can't anymore. Now my left knee can hyperextend but my right can't. Is this a good thing?
I literally see everyone with that, like their leg goes back and to the knee cap it goes forward, and then above the knee cap it goes back mine is different it goes straight up and then after knee cap it goes a little back
I am 36, and have had my knees like this since I can remember. I have no pain. And I can walk for miles. But standing up for long periods of time hurts. I didn't know this was not normal, since I've had it for ever. Here I thought it was some kind of normalty, and just good flexibility.
If it doenst compromise your ability or cause pain...I wouldn't worry. For many people this position has led to injuries in sports and knee pain.
Im 38 and same, though when im on pc sometimes I get a sharp pain but its so rare.... standing is my only issue
Same here I've no pain and i also thought it was normal
I’m seventeen and I just found out this year that I’ve had this. I also tend to be able to stand without discomfort for longer periods of time than my peers. And yes, I lock my knees all the time when standing… never knew it was supposedly bad. I don’t do any sports.

am not clearly able to identify my deformity is it Bow leg or knee hypertension am confused what to do?
@@mayuridd okk thanks. brother.. I'll try to know about this.
Does this exercise/stretch make Anterior Pelvic Tilt worse? Which do you think I should fix first, APT or hyperextended knee.
You may gain more from focusing on your ATP, if you have pain..but this exercise, performed properly, will not make your ATP worse.
Do rdl,glute bridges,hamstring curls help
Yes, definitely. The key is the end range strength development, try to complete the full range of motion in those exercises.

I suffer from a knee hyper-extension. It happened 6 years ago. Since then, customized leg brace from mid-hip to shoe: a nightmare. Can it be operated?
What is the official name of these exercises
This seems like it would make my knee looser? I had a fall onto an extended leg which caused the hyper extension, now it feels kind of loose and I have to be careful not to hyper extend.
Look, from what I've been advised by an actual Physical Therapist, you want to shift your focus to your hamstrings (knee flexors) by strengthening them via some form of a hamstring curl.
With the combination of hip flexion and knee extension -- which is what you see in the video --, you are activating your quads and hip flexors, and **STRETCHING** your hamstrings, thus, you are doing the exact opposite of what may need to be performed in order to address the problem.
To reiterate, hyperextension can be a result of tight quads, and weak hamstrings. As you've discovered, when you do this exercise, you are only going to make your hamstrings more loose.
Alternatives exercises for ppl with flexion issues from previous back injury?
The best alternative would be a reverse hyper machine.
Hey! I've been doing calf raises for an achilles injury, but have been doing them with hyperextension of my knees, leading to pain. Have had a problem with knee hyperextension all my life. Did 2 sets of the 2nd exercise and immediately felt a lot of pain relief! What is the 2nd exercise called? Thanks so much!
I'm glad to hear that! They are called Elephant walks
Does this really work?
my knees are hyperextended, and pelvic also tilted and that make knock knees plus i am a bit overweight :) can i fix all of that by exercises?? im 19
How many days we can get the results
Thank you so much. It helps me. But, what if my legs not wanting to stay straight?
When does it not want to stay straight? During the exercise or when standing? This is actually an end range strength exercise and if you find it a struggle to keep the legs straight at the bottom, you will develop the strength with practice.
@@GrownandHealthy during the exercise.
@grown and healthy, I notice mine is like that now but wasn't like that when I was younger because I was very athletic. I do have back problems now and also have a lot of tailbone pain. I'm only 36. Do you have any advice? I've gotten back into being active this past few months with walking every day and hiking on the weekends. Now I'm adding weights and cycling at the gym.
This exercise and any stretches for the hamstring, will help. Especially the camel walk.
Ok will try these exercises out. Thank you
My knees don’t extend to full length so I watched this hoping he’d explain what caused it so I could do it
I think that's called hypoextension. Maybe look that up?
I could hyperextend by knees at will but after a right knee injury, I can't anymore.
Now my left knee can hyperextend but my right can't.
Is this a good thing?
Can hyperextension be found through an ultrasound?
Thanks, much appreciated for the help, but what are the exercises official called ?
Jefferson Curl
@@GrownandHealthy thanks, any specific reps or sets I should try?
@@lking1540 start with 2- 3 sets of 10 reps, make sure the weight isnt heavy to start. Maybe 2 10lb dumbbells to allow gravity to help.
@@GrownandHealthy ah, thanks again, you don't know how much a huge help you've been. Thank you.
@@lking1540 Sorry to bother you after so long, but I wanted to ask whether the exercise was effective for you?
Thanks in advance!
Plz make a vdo on kneecap dislocation 😫😫😫 exercise
I have not understood. While doing the Jefferson curl should i voluntary hyperextend my knees or keep them neutral?
Start with them slight flexed(forward) and try to push the knees backwards when the weight is at the bottom.
@@GrownandHealthy thanks!
I literally see everyone with that, like their leg goes back and to the knee cap it goes forward, and then above the knee cap it goes back
mine is different it goes straight up and then after knee cap it goes a little back
