In this video, Dr. David tells you 3 secrets that very few professionals in healthcare know to tell you. The reality is that most healthcare professionals know about these knee arthritis secrets, but they just don’t know how to apply them well to their patients…so they don’t give this information out to their patients.

I have knee arthritis and I stopped eating foods that cause inflammation, carbohydrate,grains and so on. The pain in my knees has gone, give up sugar and grains.
Please advise what you eat exactly
Yes please!
Which grains?
@@flaviamatovukiweewa1715 ALL grains! They are pure carbs and carbs are NOT a necessary food group. And nightshades; i.e. potatoes. Check out Dr. Ken D. Berry and the ketogenic way of eating.
@@debpratt52 including millet, corn?
Yeah! I went through #3. Stopped anti inflammatory treatment and went about my physically busy life. Gardening, hiking, climbing stairs and hiking up hills. It took 14 months but now no pain and full motions. Also I had a bakers cyst and it's gone too. And now after listening to him, I know how and WHY I'm cured!
Im in two minds. Rest my knee as much as possible or just go hard and use it as normal and ignore the swelling. If you dont mind me asking, what was your diagnosis?
@@oldman_eleven arthritis. And a bakers cyst. Yes lots of swelling. Doctor was talking knee replacement. I was told to strengthen the IT ban. You can find videos on those.The best thing for arthritis is keep moving. Walking is best. I'm on my feet all day. I pushed through until I couldn't and then I'd take a break. . I took some ibuprofen when I needed, just not a lot. I read that a knee replacement or just physical therapy have the same success rate . I chose physical therapy. Everybody is different. I wish you good luck and success.
@@oldman_eleven oh yeah and most the knee cartilage is gone.
@@sharonpreston2826 you don’t mind me asking, how long have you had osteoarthritis and how long have you been pain free? Were you not able to climb stairs or walk before PT? What kind of PT and how long do you do daily ? Did you change your diet too? What do you mean by #3 and stopped anti inflammatory treatment?
@@tr6151 didn't the doctor say #3 stop taking anti inflammatories? I think that's what he said, can't remember exactly. I did stop taking them. The doctor also said (if I remember correctly) you will then develop scar tissue. And that makes everything work and feel better. I'm 100% for a year now. And this is the second time I've gone through this process of injury to healing. Because I twisted my knee again, two years ago. It was hard and painful to do everything but I had to. I have 30 stair steps to my door. I did IT, core and glut exercises. A few a day. I did other exercises, like yoga and stretching. No didn't change my diet. But when I retired (@60) (also 60 is when it stated) I slowly lost a little weight. 10 or 15 lb. Weight has a lot to do with it. I was only told I had arthritis and sever loss of cartilage. I will need a knee replacement. That scared me and I got busy with PT. And I only did PT with a therapist for a week, got a list of exercises and did the next 6 months at home. I feel very lucky so far. Everybody is different. Good luck. And do more research and reading on the subject, so you can make your own informed decisions. I wish you wellness!
I’m a healthy, young 53 year old. I was a competitive speed skater, softball player and swimmer, as well as a cheerleader. Now, I am bone on bone. I was told I need 2 …. 2 new knees. But, I am to young. So, I thought, get on this…I lost weight, I went back to doing activities I felt ok doing. But, I still hurt at night. I want natural help. Thanks! I will keep watching. I think a lot of our doctors are being limited. You are so sweet and kind to offer this help.
Same here, I’m 44 years old bone on bone , if you know something let me know because Dr told me that I’m too young for knee replacement
Me too@@srcelestin6616
Gelatin helps.
I use Wobenzym it works for me..
Your knee cap might hv shifted due tight IT band. That’s why bone on bone.
I don't know how your page came on my feed, but I am so excited to finally find a caring Dr. virtually assist with Arthritic knees. I am 65 years young and I was told by a knee surgeon that I have bone on bone arthritis. I watched one of your videos to find out that I need to strengthen my glutes, which I will start doing regularly. Your care and sincereity come across in your videos. Thank you so much for what you do and all of this wonderful information that you are giving us. Please continue to educate us!

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy : how does strengthening of gluteus stops knee pain?
Yes, I completely agree. This doctor is a real blessing for those who suffer from knee pain. Very knowledgeable, passionate about what he does, and a doctor that really cares. God bless him!!
Thank you, I was told 10 years ago that I would be back for a knee replacement, I thought, “you don’t me” have been doing your exercises plus good walking shoes and inserts and I am pain free and do lots of exercise. I am 74 and most grateful!!’

I'm a dancer. We always wrapped our knees to keep them warm. Now that I'm older, I still do. I stay flexible and even with slight inflammation, I'm still able to do liw step aerobics to stay limber. An odd experience when I fell years ago released all the tension from my bad knee and now I have absolutely no pain. I thought I had broken my knee so I rested for ten minutes before I tried to get up.
Shocked to find that nothing was broken and that cracking sound was no less than the knee popping back into place, like cracking my knuckles for relief, amazingly, no pain for years!! I walk half hour every day. Go downstairs backwards leaning into the steps, to keep my buns in shape and not fall down steps. Odd, but it works and keeps my elbows elongated and my knees don't have to support my weight forward.
How do you wrap them warm?
@@Ses458 either long winter socks with toes cut out so you can cover your knees or wrap them with 6" elastic bands. Get the longest and widest they have. Also push your knee cap in from the side. You'll notice the long tendon is very tight and is what's pulling the kneecap to the outside. Gently massage it and push it inwards with the palm of your hand. Keep it warm!!!
Amazon has these copper looking knee wraps. Make a huge difference. The blacks ones don’t do anything but they have copper ones. You can see the copper make a big difference
1. Green lipped mussel powder (not pills or oil).
2. Any joint supplement containing boswelia.( I use osteo biflex)
3. Avocado soy tablets.
Take all three with a meal. You'll thank me later.
Praise God for directing me to this great PT. I was a former teacher in my country . So, I very well know how to detect a knowledgeable and efficient instructor when I see one . Thank you , Doc , for enlightening and giving me hope on my condition. I was recently diagnosed to have early signs of osteoarthritis on my right leg. . At first , fear of the unknown caught me. But I prayed , searched on Google lots of articles about arthritis and watched many videos . Most PT I listened to were good ones . But this is so far the sufficiently comprehensive, well-assuring and most hopeful . God is good !❤
Hi, I appreciated your video. FYI I had allergic arthritis years ago that came up very quickly. I could no longer climb stairs, but had to sit on the steps and go up backwards. I could no longer drive. We changed vehicles so my knees wouldn’t have to bend and so I could hold my knees because they jiggled so much. A friend gave me a book by Dr Mandell (or Mandrell) with the words allergy and arthritis in the subject. As he treated allergies his arthritis patients improved. I was able to identify the allergy: amalgam fillings. I told the dentist I was allergic to silver, and he told me I would probably be just fine. Well, obviously not after several years! Once removed and replaced by resin-based fillings which are stronger by the way, the arthritis started to heal and a lot of other nagging problems like numbness in my face started to go away. Sooo happy to have read that book that a friend gave me to read!! I know that pain of not being able to sleep, not even to tolerate a sheet or pant legs.
Surgeries are big business, that’s why the industry funnels most in that direction. No money in letting things heal on their own.
Hey OrangeGrove 55, yes you're absolutely correct. We hope to get this information out there so people can make more informed decisions!!!

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy It's like asking a butcher if a vegan diet is good for you... he's going to recommend meat! It's his livelihood.💯🤣🙋🙏
When I was dealing with back pain, over thirty years ago, my best friend's dad said, "Just remember, Jean...surgeons don't make any money unless they do surgery." That is true with SOME surgeons. I remember a former neighbor who visited a surgical practice out of town. Surgery was advised. She had the surgery, which did not help, so it was advised to have another, and four surgeries later, she had to undergo an implant of some kind to deal with the pain. I never understood the issue, but wondered if it was an emotional thing. Pain can make people desperate. Finding the least invasive solution can be easier than we think. Never panic...stop and consider alternatives. It sure paid off for my knees.
@@mikevaldez7684 I tell my kids...if an apple farmer tells you that apple's cure cancer, get your apples somewhere else.
Doc says my knee cartilage is 70% gone but I can still hike 5-7 miles and bike 30-40. My keys to success: Stay active and loose weight. Since being diagnosed with degenerative arthritis 10 years ago those two things have helped so much.
Nice to hear... your pain and activity has very little to do with the degeneration seen in..X-rays
I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in my neck 10 years ago. The doctor mentioned surgery to have plates put into my neck but suggested physiotherapy first.
I have always exercised and at the time was training as a yoga teacher. The physiotherapist gave me some exercises and mentioned that my fitness level would be beneficial to the management of my condition.
Since being diagnosed I have continued strengthening and mobilizing my neck, with an awareness of my alignment and posture. I never suffer from pain in my neck now, despite remembering how degraded my vertbrea and discs looked on the X-ray.
I truly believe gentle stretching to release tension in the soft tissues around the joint alongside strengthening the surrounding muscles to support the joint, is the answer...
Superperson.
Oh my gosh I love this guy!!! I have arthritis all over and I am starting his program for knees and hands right away!
Yea, i am 54..i was told id need knee replacement in near future.. just got done with pt.. try continue doing it at home...i refuse to have surgery. Already had 4 for plantar facitis and had done no good. I'm working on more towards natrual remedies.. Thanks for sharing this video. 😍
Excellent video, Doc, great info, very well presented.
You point out an excellent way of approach, made mention of a couple things I’ve long suspected. As you said, they don’t tell you…
Well, now you have, and I thank you for it.
Kindly use demonstrations as you explain so that we can know exactly what part is what and the types of body parts you are mentioning
Bless you.
Thanks for the advice.
I just randomly found your video. You are genuinely honest and enthusiastic for your field of work. Thanks for your informative videos.
I bought dr David’s 28 day knee program over 2 months ago and it was worth every cent !When I stopped doing what my physiotherapist said and started working on my glutes daily . It’s helped my tremendously. You’re the best Dr. David !!!
Hey Lisa! Aww we are so glad to hear it! Keep up the good work strengthening your glutes!!!
I have arthritis in my knees and been told I need a knee replacement, I have been doing the work out that you have recommended and I have to say they are working for me, much more then the ones the physio gave me. Thank you so much for helping us.
What work out are you doing which he is recommending?
@@roseymalino9855 it's fake
a fake comment
Thank you now I understand the phrases my neck and right shoulder went through for 4 years. Daily inflammation is now gone.
I read for women in pre menopause that it’s important to build as much muscle as they can before menopause. I don’t know why, but I’ve made it a goal to avoid as much joint pain as possible. I had a phase for 6 months where every joint hurt just before my neck healed. Seemed to correlate with high triglycerides. I don’t know why either.
I appreciate explanations of how things work and just subbed. Prevention is always a good goal after experiencing chronic pain for years. I never stopped my daily stretching reminding myself damage and injury takes years and to pace myself for healing too.
Hope my gut will heal from many anti inflammatories. Nutrition is definitely a factor in speeding healing in 3 months what took a few years.
Thank you for detail explanation. God bless
Great info makes a lot of sense. Reverse walking gave me some great knee improvement results in just 2 days. I'm now going to do glute exercises also. Thanks!
Thank you for all the information you share. Actually, I've learned more from these videos in the past month than in the several the years I've been dealing with bilateral knee arthritis. With walking, I'm good for short distances, but the pain ramps up after that. I was in misery last month on vacation that involved airports and lots of walking. Although I had a great time, couldn't wait til I got back home. It was very humbling to be pushed in a wheelchair at the airport (but much needed), as well as in a wheelchair in a casino during the vacation. Don't want to be in a wheelchair again, but at the same time, there's no way I could have walked that distance or been on my feet for such "long" periods of time, either. I'm following my gut feeling on taking Aleve or Motrin to help with the pain, and realized the meds really do next to nothing for my pain, so I stopped them a few days ago - and oddlly, I feel good and the pain kinda feels less. I'm very conscious about how I move (no pivoting), how I walk, walk down stairs or downhill, and avoid uneven surfaces.
That wheelchair service is the best! I could not do airport without it. Not only, the walking would be too painful but they know where they are going, and you get priority in every lines. Don't be ashamed to use this service. I am not.
I love wheelchairs, some people play football in wheelchairs, I don’t understand the embarrassment some feel, do you actually think less of the people who are confined to a wheelchair?
Thanks so much for valuable information.
Dr. David, You are a healer after my own heart. Loved The Rant! TRUTH!
Again as usual great information thank you so much
Thank you very much for your advice doc. I’m so happy that I found your videos🙏
You are very welcome Krishna. Glad it was helpful.
I try glute exercises after i watch this video of yours doc... I search on you tube and followed the exercise and lo and behold.. my pain in my knee and stiffness reduce drastically.. thanks for this video, i will continue glute exercises. Now i know why i have knee pain, i have a weak glutes
So helpful and well articulated !
You made more sense than anybody!
From constant bike riding I inflamed my right knee as result of getting off and on during traffic. Only on basis of an x-ray, not looking or touching the knee, I was advised to have arthroscopic surgery. Without having it, I completely healed without a trace.
Hey Anitteb, so glad you were able to fully heal without having to undergo surgery! That is awesome! Thank you for sharing!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you so so much wonderful man, you gave me optimism, I was runner for few years doing heavy cardio, and because of back pain i shifted to swimming, after a few months I started with gym and also returned to running but just little bit less, and then knee started hurting, I have done knee extension, knee flex and after that running, right now i am doing some of knee exercises, and i think some of them I should not be doing (patrick step down for ex.) maybe also wall sets although I don't feel any pain with it ! I have noticed that I don't have pain after running for ex. 40 45 min cardio, but after some exercises I do ! Right now i can not say that i have pain, it is more like strange feeling, and I feel heat in knees, but heatness I felt long time ago when they didn't hurt me. Most probably from May I am starting with swimming again, and I wanted to ask you is swimming ok with this disease, and should I be doing it, because I also have small disc damage ?? Thank you a lot again !
When I started going to the gym riding the bike, my nightmare STARTED.
BONE ON BONE ARTERITIS!!!
It was suggested a knee replacement a couple years ago, Walking alot was absolutely the worst thing for my knee but I couldn't help it because of my job. I have since been able to NEARLY ( not totally) eliminate my knee pain, Here's what has continued to work for me. I've done this all together at one time so I can't say which has worked the most
1, DRINK lots of liquids (intra workout, post work out) ,and especially WATER
2. I take types 1,2,3,4,5 COLLOGEN POWDER (It's all combined into one product) mixed in my drinks
3. I always trained legs ( squat, hack squat, leg press,leg curls ) but put more emphasis on doing lots slow and controlled LEG EXTENSIONS but not as heavy working sets,
4. At my gym I'm lucky enough to have a stand up RED LIGHT BED which I use everytime I go to the gym, about 6 days per week,
5. I regularly take OMEGA 3 FISH OIL
6. I try NOT TO KNEEL ( like on the floor) as much as possible.
The combination has worked for me,,If I had to guess I'd say my knee is 85 to 90 % better than it was...Best, Steve
Thanks so much for your tips, I am going to try them. Are you able to walk pain free now?
@@mmueller1473 Today, 11/10/2022 I had no pain in my knee but say I was to go jogging I think I would feel it. Any leg workout doesn't bother me in the least. I have a friend who is going to have the "implant" done on his knee later this year. I'm curious to see how that works for him. He tried the gel shot but his knee is too far gone. Good Luck !!!!...Best, Steve
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. I will share your tips with others.
I have discovered after doing 2 years of research on Collagen, that only Collagen Type 2 is joint specific. Amazon sells a lot of Collagen Type 2 capsules.
I appreciate the details about the 3 points. All very helpful, thank you!!!
This guy is the only one that I trust on CZcams, his videos on sciatica really helped me , and with the instructions he gave I noticed the difference right away, I had been suffering for nearly 4 weeks... Thank you so very much!
I will check out the knee ones too , because I had ,had knee problems before the sciatica got me..
He dear thanks a lot, in March,2021 I was diagnosed arthritis by MRI, and advised to do exercises, but that time I did not had any exercise and listed so many vedios, I saw your so many vedios and after one year rest, I started your knee pain walking and glute exercises, both worked very well, now I have no knee pain,daily I walk more than one hour, no pain at all, you r right, God bless you thank you very much, I am 70 yr. but full of strength, thanks ahm.
YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear Chandrakant!!!!
What an amazing success story!!!!
Very helpful information thanks.
Everything you say is true to my experience. I'm 72 and about 25 years ago my left knee was deteriorating. I walked with a neighbor sometimes and it would get worse. I took glucosamine 1500 mg daily and within a few months, the knee was healed. Still works great. Most of my friends, even younger ones, have artificial joints. I notice all the ones that work out at the gym on those machines end up with joint replacement. I keep thinking it's repetitive motion. Anyway, this is a channel I will be suggesting to friends and family. Thanks!
I have a 'lazy meniscus' in my right knee and issues with my SI joint. I found El Paso on YT a couple of years ago. I swear by him and compliment his exercises with those by the Seniors specialist physio at HT Physio also on YT.
My osteo checked out both sites and approves.
Both of them have exercises that are very doable and stackable as you improve and remind you constantly to listen to your own body and its needs. I use them alongside walking, sea swimming and add on the Fabulous 50s YT workout exercises.
I have no need for expensive gym membership at all.
The only time I now have trouble with my knee is when I stop doing exercises for a few days due to long haul flights or illness.
At 61, I'm fitter than I was at 41 and my knees and back feel good.
Gyms do not cater for the over 60s, especially if, heaven forbid, we have not been a gym junkie all our lives tsk tsk. They just have no clue about the different needs of seniors. It's one size fits all.
Great to know this.i have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. What regimen did u follow?what other supplements did u take?
I am not a fan of surgery so this is one of my favorite videos. These recommendations are easy to follow. What a relief to hear!
I've been grateful for many years of dancing and walking b/c my DPT noticed a leg length discrepancy and has address with internal orthotics and an external lift. I'm a nurse and had many years on my feet w/ some increasing knee issues and an injury....that was almost 10 years ago and I'm 68 now and very active. Her expertise in body mechanics and orthotics helped me in so many ways.
You are one positive man. Thanks doctor
Thank you. I just subscribed because I know what you are saying is true from my own experience. I will now spend time following your exercise advice.

I am going to take your advice and start watching your videos for the best help for me.
Hey Peter, so sorry to hear you have been on disability for 5 years.

I broke my femur 26 years ago. Steel implant to repair. Broke both arms too. Always had a bad knee afterwards. If one knee is sore and you got to work. Soon the other is as well. Aches and pains. 3 years ago I cut sugar and carbs out of my diet. No takeout food. Cook at home. I Only eat fats and animal proteins, some cooked veggies for fibre. No fruit. I drink beer and smoke cigarettes. The aches and pains are gone now for 2 years. At 50 I feel I can climb walls. Im Working in mechanical and electrical field. Relatively physical work. I feel exercise is necessary if you don't work. But not too much. Diet will repair a lot of previously broken stuff.
Hey Lauritzbirch, that's great that you found what works for you!!! 2 years without aches and pains is amazing!!!
Cheers to great health!!!

Hi there. I started with knee arthritis back in 2008 and it's worse today. I used to drink down bottles of Advil because in the beginning I had to keep my job which involved lots of walking in downtown Oakland. About a month or two ago I had a fall in my kitchen from an office chair. I landed on my gluteus maximus area and thought I could get up the old fashioned way, just get up on your knees. I tried it, only to wince from pain and sit on the floor. I scooted on my butt from the kitchen to the living room where i grabbed 2 pillows under my knees and got up that way. So now a couple months later, all hell has broken loose in my knees. For a month or so now I am awakened with knee pain never having had it when sleeping before. My knee creaks like an old tugboat and pops a lot. I am following your videos and they might help but if I don't do it more than once, I know it won't work. Your videos are very good and informative. My last ortho took xrays about 5 years ago and said my kneecap is "shattered" because of an earlier fall on the sidewalk hitting knees first.
So, the right knee is very painful, the left knee not so much. I am using a walker in my house now when I never ever had to. So I will continue to follow your videos and hope for improvement because I am not getting a knee replacement!
Thank you,
Pat, San Jose, CA

I wish I lived closer, I would love having you as my therapist. Thank you for all of your helpful videos.
You're welcome C H!!! ✈️😉
Me toooo
Me three !!! Dr David wished you are here in London
Where are you based?
I love you for what you are doing. God bless you ,your family, your practice, and all the people who work with you.
You are the best and have helped me with my knee issues. so thankful!
Hi Dee Iles! Thank you so much for your kind words and support!
🙌🌟
Thank you so much for the advice. Very informative. 🙏❤️🇨🇦
You're welcome Teresita!!!
There is a time when I like to feel aches. It is the day a after exercising. I begin to use that muscle, and I feel a slight ouch, and I love it, because I know I hit the right muscle. Since you helped me ditch my meniscus pain, I am concentrating on glutes and toes, to help me walk stronger. I still cannot believe that pain is gone, and I can actually press that touchy meniscus spot on my knee, without pain. I will definitely encourage my husband to do the exercises for knee arthritis, as he has complained of knee pain, and I don't know why, but his mom had many issues exacerbated by fallen arches. Thank you again for my NEW knees. My husband had colon cancer surgery, and I encouraged him to use an electric cart, so now, I have to keep up with him in the store. LOL
Thanks a lot .I have stage 3arthritis .your advice is giving me a lot of confidence.
How refreshing to find this. You give hope to those who want an alternative to replacement. I just turned 50 and I was told i qualify for a right knee replacement 😳
No way. Not yet and ideally, never. I was wondering what you think about the idea of a shoes with almost no support. I’ve been suffering from chronic pain that started bilaterally and acutely last October. About 5-6 weeks ago I decided to stop wearing my clogs (supposedly good and supportive for feet) and change to ballet flats after reading a few stories and articles on using the foot muscles correctly. Since then, (on top of cycling more and consciously strengthening my glutes and calves/shins/ ankles more and returning to some VERY gentle yoga as well as lineament and arnica regularly) my knees are finally starting to feel sustained and marked improvement.
Ironically, my right knee was always the problem child and feels much better though the right ankle seems to have some stiffness, but the left knee that didn’t hurt until last October is still more inflamed/slower to repair. Thoughts?
🙏🏽🌈🙏🏽
"Listen to your knee! Listen to your body!" Thanks for that, Doc. Unfortunately we are brought up to follow "authorities" and exclude ourselves completely. We should receive information in order to better understand a certain situation, and not cancel ourselves out.
You're welcome Mario!!! Yes it's crazy to have someone force their way through an exercise program that creates swelling, loss of motion and worse symptoms! We hope this helps!!!
Thank you so much doct for the informative information.
Listen to our bodies talk before it becomes a scream of sorts. Very good advice to follow. A time to move, a time to rest etc. If the body isnt doing what it could do yesterday, don't wait until tomorrow to find out more about why, and what ours bodies are trying to say right now.
I’m an 83 year old woman and this is so encouraging to me as I have arthritis in both knees and back. I’ve been going to a physical therapist for a couple months and she is working out my knees and back which hurts so much afterwards. I had hip replacement a year ago and developed pain in my back since then. It’s been so painful for me that my quality of life is very
difficult. I’m starting to work on my glute muscles and told her about it and she was very Skeptical at this information. I’m considering stopping these PT sessions. I would appreciate and advice you could give me about all these issues.

Thank you for the response. I’ll watch this video. I have watched several of your videos .@@epmanualphysicaltherapy
Doing glute exercises while listening.
So you talk about strengthening the glutes but you don’t tell us how that helps our knees
Weakness in the gluteal area will also expose weakness in your core stability development too and believe it or not ,incredibly awesome person your core strength &stabilization also involves your Keagle muscles, muscles that are used to control waste elimination: #1 (potty).
I would be developing your scapulo-thoracic strength and stability of your upper back and to stabilize your core muscles which involve your transverse abdomen inner and outer obliques ,quadrates lumborum ,gluteus
maximus ,gluteus minimus gluteul mobility, strength in your hip stabilizers. There are an abundance of them Adductors are most neglected part on the human body most importantly developing your glutes In isolation.
If you’re doing exercises and your medial hamstring muscles start cramping the exercise you were doing is being dominated by your hamstring muscles not your glutes try internally, rotating your leg as you do, exercises like reverse glute raises, even your side leg rays try to internally rotate the hip/the femur bone as you lift your leg backwards.
Thank you for this amazing information. 🙏
This doctor is great Thankyou for all the help you give people😊
I walk barefoot in the nature and this helps me for no knee pain and also lower back pain. Nice content 👍👍
do you have knee arthritis?
@@JGalegria no I don’t have really. Thanks God I don’t have any pain in this time and I don’t use any medicine. And since 15 years I don’t have any flu and could. 🙏
Don't forget it is not just a progression to knee arthritis. People do injure and knock their knees and this can foment arthritis as a consequence.
Yes, grounding takes the pain away. I have found that over the summer.
Thanks a lot! With your assistance, I am sure I am going to evade surgery.
Thank you so so so much !
Thank you for your make a whole lot of sense information!
Very hopeful and empowering video, thank you 🙏👌
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊❤️
I am doing pt for my pseudogout knee arthritis. The people I work with always ask if it hurts when I start an exercise. If I say yes, they tell me to stop so I was glad to hear you talk about that and happy to hear that my therapist feels as you do. I have found that when I do glute work and also concentrate on my posture, my knee does feel better. My hope is that I haven't damaged the knee too much already and can resist getting knee replacement. Thank you so much for doing these superb and knowledgeable videos! I have been a bit depressed about the knee pain but you have at least given me hope and some tools to use that indicate that I may be able to stay away from the surgery.
Hey Karen, glad you have found our advice helpful and it has helped your knee pain! You can definitely resist knee replacement as long as you make your glutes the primary muscle in as many motions as possible. You should use them all the time! If you do, you can very well allow your body to heal and avoid the knee replacement.
You are such a genuine caring human that thinks of the good of strangers. I absolutely adore you and am thankful I found you! Thank you for the hope 🙏🙏🙏

BRAVO SOMEBODY. HELP NOT CONFUSED PEOPLE .LIKE ME THANKS DOCTOR IM GLADLY TO FOUND THIS GOO. BLESS YOU
Hey Land Meyer may God bless you too!!!
Thanks for your video, it's if great help.
What a great video. Thank you.
I am a survivor of Psoriatic Arthritis, and in the first year of its onset, I was bed ridden for months. So much pain and swelling in my knees, it took the Doctors ages to diagnose, but eventually they put me onto 20mg of Methotrexate (once a week) certainly eased the pain and the swelling, but I hated how you had to have a blood test every month or so to check the meds were not damaging the liver. After a few years of being on it, I weaned myself completely from the drug, and changed my diet to an anti inflammatory diet, and started taking MSM daily. I walk and exercise most days, and feel fantastic. My knees are still an odd shape (probably some calcification) but I am so grateful that I can walk miles without pain anymore. I have been off the meds now for four or more years, fingers crossed it won't come back.
@jlcole can you share apart from gluten what you avoid in anti inflammatory diet
What is msm?
Hi Doc. I’m watching your videos and thanks God ! It helps a lot for my bone on bone athritis!! Cynthia from New York
YESSS!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear that this is helping your bone-on-bone arthritis Cynthia!!!!
Thanks for letting us know it's working for you!!!!
I am due 2 knee replacements ,first 1 very soon. My prob is I cant straighten my legs now, past 2 yrs! . Whats the best exercise for this as conflicting advice from Doc and physio. Nothing helping
So interesting! Thanks!
Hi Little Brook Reader! Thank you so much! 🙌
What an empowernent!!!I love the lecture.
Working my glute medius made about 90% of my knee pain go away, as it fixed my patellar tracking problem. Doctors told me it was just a matter of time until I needed a replacement and that there was nothing I could do.
YESSS!!!!!!
This is fantastic to hear manatoa1!!!!
Thanks for letting us know glute strengthening worked for you!!!!
Hi there! I am watching all your videos from India and love them .They are so neatly explained and to the point. Thankyou for all your wonderful and helpful videos.
You're welcome R T!!! We're glad you're benefitting from our videos!!!
I have an issue with a knee that I have been praying about. God sent me to you..I have never seen this site before. Just the information I needed before going ahead with treatment. Bless you!
I am a retired Medical Laboratory Technologist. When I listen to David, he makes send on so many levels. The healing process is spot on for hemostasis. And when you exercise, you need to make sure that the muscle targetted is the one being worked out. I had a torn meniscus and some of the exercises didn’t involve glutes…I now feel my glutes are weak and knee pain is back.
Ok I want you to be right (I'm probably in early knee arthritis - yet to visit a doc). I've seen a few of your videos and am following your advice. I'm doing "swinging legs" and "butt cleft" exercises. You seem to be right about walking. I can ride my bicycle for hours and not notice my dud knee but walking can be unpleasant. Massaging the knees seems to help too.
I always massage after exercises. It helps too! I can’t wait to change out my exercises to do this!
Wear shoes that give you an arch support.
Myknee is pain full myright kner my back

I truly appreciate the info given. I’m trying the exercises and already my knee and thigh feel better.
At 81, surgery is not an option.
Hey Jeannie, You are welcome! It is exciting to hear that your knee and thigh are feeling better. You can do this! We have attached a playlist to give you some additional information on knee arthritis. Please keep us updated on your progress. =D

My knees are both bone on bone and collapse inward. Play a lot of golf and can't give it up. Right now, I am unable to. The fancy knee uploader brace seems useless. My glutes are weak. Always have been. Never focused much on them as an athlete. Just thought they were getting worked out from everything else. Now I'm going to focus primarily on them thanks to this remarkable man's sincere advice. You're an angel bro. Will keep this feed informed as to my progress. Want to be a 66 year old man that actually gets better with age. My golf game has for sure but has literally GRINDED to a halt. Blessings.
This is the best information and advice
I’ve been climbing my basement stairs backwards and it’s helped strengthen different areas of my knees and has definitely lessened the pain in my knees. I really only have issues when I’m doing intense hikes with serious inclines and declines.(The declines are very painful!)
Hey tpotts4! It seems like you might need to back off the hiking for a bit! If your knees are getting irritated on these activities, letting them calm down might be in your best interest. Work on your glutes and abs while you're on break so you don't feel too bad about not exercising! :-)
Here is a playlsit with exercises you could be doing during your break! Check it out:
