- Balance exercises are usually wasting your time when it comes to helping a knee arthritis problem.
Even if you have balance problems, there are other things to focus your exercise on rather than just working on balance exercises.
Standing for time on a wobbly board, a foam pad, or a bosu ball are all common balance exercises that people do to help improve their balance.
These balance exercises don't help to correct the root problem of knee arthritis, leaving you feeling continued knee pain for the long term.
In this video, Dr. David shares 3 reasons why balance exercises are a waste of time for treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Thank you! I've cancelled all my upcoming PT appointments since watching your videos for awhile. You are much more knowledgeable! 💗💗💗
Hi Rani, you're welcome! We appreciate your kind words and we are so excited that the information that we have shared with you has been so impactful. We wish you continued relief. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Thank you! Your videos have helped this old lady tremendously. I cannot tolerate anesthesia so surgery is out of the question. I can’t even take pain meds. My PT had me doing everything that you show to be the worst exercises for knee arthritis. Sometimes, they were making the pain worse. 😳😵💫 I stopped therapy and now I exercise daily with you.
I am improving considerably! Thank you again!!!!
Congrats on your youtube award. I see on the wall. 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Tazz! Thank you so much!! 🙌🌟 All thanks to support like yours! 🧡
I share all your videos with all my family they are getting great results!
Hi Thetopcattigress2carol, that is so awesome to hear! Thank you so much for sharing our content and being part of our community. We wish you all the best in your road to recovery! 🧡
Listen to the doctor. Balance exercises, especially for older adults, are a waste of time. I have had knee arthritis for 40 years, and I'm still able to walk five miles if necessary. How is this possible? I stopped doing what was causing my knee pain.
Hey Chesslover! Yes! Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate you being part of our community! 🙏
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy You are welcome!
I had meniscus surgery 6wks ago, I do PT twice a week and go back to wrk next month. I do a combination of balance and strength work and PT, I walk 10 min, ride bike 10 min,and elliptical 10 min at gym everyday, plus strength training 3xs a week ...it'll be tough once I go back to work,but I'll maintain strength training. Goal is to get back to running and playing softball by end of June

I’m learning so much from each and every video! I have challenged physician recommendations in the past. Certainly seems to me that their egos cause them to tumble then they back away from the doctor patient relationship that was allegedly there.
Hi Kathy, That's awesome to hear that you're getting a lot out of our videos! Dealing with doctors can sometimes be a real struggle, especially when egos get in the way. It's all about finding that balance and making sure you're heard and respected. We're glad our content is helping you navigate through it all! We wish you all the best in your road to recovery. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
I've been learning lots too. So many things this man says are full if common sense. I'm beginning to always check out what he thinks and says about any exercise first. He cares so much about the individual person and what issues they have! 🤗
Always great to start my day with your videos.
Hi Susie! Thank you so much for your support! 🙌🧡

Do you think wearing stretchy knee supports will keep the knee from getting stronger ?
Hi Marilyn, Stretchy knee supports provide stability and can help with pain relief, but they won't necessarily keep your knee from getting stronger. They can offer support during activities, which might prevent further injury, but it's important to combine their use with a proper strengthening and rehabilitation program to ensure your knee continues to gain strength and function.

Hey there may i ask you I'm working currently on glute isolation which you recommend a lot in your videos.. and I'm avoiding quads activation.. do quads naturally work when walking and doing normal activates or can they be weak too?
Hi @kaysalshaar ! This is a great question! :) Yes, your quads work naturally when walking, exercising, and while doing normal activities. Often, we find our patients have quads that are too strong or dominant, feeding into a muscle imbalance that causes inappropriate forces to be placed on a joint (hip or knee). Your quads will still work when doing some of our exercises like squats and lunges, but your glutes should be working MORE. :)
Hi sir inweakened my quads as I saw your past videos try to strengthen glutes not working I know you focus on glute strengthening which o agree with but if my quads and hamstrings are weak no knee extension is it safe to exercise glutes and quads same time I purchased your patella program I want to strengthen my muscles and walk without limping
I’m young early 30s lost almost
All cartilage due to misdiagnosis on acl meniscus now Chondromalacia I’m goin to make comeback and walk again with your program
I don’t want to replace my knees and hips I know I just need strength to return to walking please advise
Both knees and hips foot and toe and core underrated too
Do your program also cover strengthing medial rotation like glute medius minimus anterior fibers inner adductors inner hams calves etc? Too much lateral force I don’t believe in stretching but finding the root cause of why muscles are tight due to imbalances
What is the best approach to overcoming patellofemoral pain syndrome faster? I am doing PT twice a week, focusing on stretching gultes, hip, and abs. I am going through a Visco injection treatment. My dream is to get back into hiking 5 miles again and re-start weightlifting again.
Strengthening exercises for your quads should be included in your program along with global strengthening for your glutes and other thigh muscles. Stretching can be good for mobility and pain relief, but current research seems to indicate that quad strength is paramount for patellofemoral/anterior knee pain. This should be balanced with rest and the right activity modifications to minimize your pain with activity.
@@drkaeppel thank you very much! I will incorporate more strengthing excercises for my quads
@@GUAYABAFELIZ Of course! I forgot to mention TIME is also a big factor. Keep doing the PT and hang in there. This too shall pass :)
My difficulty lies in an IT band which really fires up after glute exercises. Any ideas?
Hi Mkalikapisa, we are sorry to hear that your IT band flares up after glute exercises. there are various reasons why such as glute muscles have atrophied, poor technique, and muscle imbalances between the glute muscles. and surround muscle groups, tightness, or too much intensity when performing the exercises. We have an IT Band help playlist you might find helpful.
