Do your knees hurt ?.....esp on stairs ? Walking long distances?

This guy showed up in my feed.
He over explains - buuut....that's my jam (🤪)

He explains why the hurt is exasperated.... and how to fix it with correct muscle use.

This video doesnt cover stairs, (he has one for that), but after watching a few of his videos on knees, you use the same theory for walking and stairs:
- Feet pointed out
- knees pointed out over toes
- squeeze the corresponding butt cheek on the leg stepping forward, (or up).

It reduces strain on knee tendons/joints/cartilage/etc, coz the quads: (thigh muscles) aren't pulling on them .
(This was new knowledge to me - but makes complete sense)

This dude is all about using correct muscle development to heal joint pain. (The replies in his posts only confirm how good he is).

I just tried it out on my back steps - well bugger me!
Dude knows his shit ![media=https://youtu.be/3ttv66it9x4]

It makes sense, since joints are supported by muscles and the sinew that connects them to bone.

I deal with neck issues, but found a great video to fine-tone/strengthen the muscles throughout my cervical spine. Better than any massage, pillow or desk setup
@seaglass ooh ... perhaps you should share?

There are wonderful physio's out there sharing their knowledge and empowering everyone to be in charge of their own healing.

I think its brilliant.

Too many fall into relying on pain meds or anti inflammatories ...for the rest of their lives, when sometimes - the root cause can be fixed .

@OogieBoogie I'd be happy to :)

starting at the 2 min mark, that's what helped me

I discovered it a couple of months ago. I was desperate, omg. I already had a lot of trouble with pain on my right side, then I had my wisdom teeth pulled and had to sleep awkwardly for 4 nights. My neck was killing me more than ever. I had tried everything throughout my life; prof massages, chiropractics, tennis balls, special pillows... pushups seemed to help some.

This video, though... I swear, saved my sanity. I got relief after the first session, I kid you not. Then over the next few days, more and more as I was doing it twice daily at first. On the second day my neck spontaneously "adjusted" while doing it. One the third day, my neck did it again... all the way up, five distinct pops and a deep curve at the base of my neck, all muscles totally relaxed. Amazing!

I wish someone had showed me this ages ago. Now I just do it a few times a week. It's very pleasant to do; just need to sit quiet, focus on form... take the time to actually do it.
@seaglass its amazing what can heal. Wjat an increfible story !
...and yet so simple a soluiton .

My sister fell at work... and suffered back and hip pain for YEARS.
Drs, surgeons, physios ...all no help.
....i think in the end it was a chiropractor who she saw in desperation.
He took one look at her, told her to disrobe, and walk away from him.
His first words were " Cant you see it ?"
Amd then he told her to walk towards the mirror...amd she saw it - she was.walking all crooked.

He literally fixed her by getting her to lie down flat on her back, he would adjust her to be aligned - and she had to lay like that for half an hour each week till her body got used to being straight .....it was that simple.

And yet....she had lived in pain for so long till then.

Im off to watch ur video


Edit : Also....its funny. -.i already follow this guy 😅

@OogieBoogie This guy is good, for real 😌

I'm glad your sister found relief. I believe in chiropractics and that's a sweet story.

One guy helped me out when I injured myself exercising. It was the middle of my back. Long story, but bodywork is a miracle when you need it, no matter the medium that works. I even learned to do some simple chiropractic adjustments and taught my roommate. It's all very simple yet complicated, because you have to be sure of someone's health status before doing even simple adjustments. I can adjust my own neck, though it always went right back to hurting, but after my extractions... I couldn't get my neck to budge. Now I have strength surrounding my neck, so it's much, much more stable. Hardly ever need to adjust it and feel nearly no discomfort now, unless I sleep weird or something like that, but then I can fix it with a round of these movements.

I just do my resistance movements regularly. Probably save me a ton of pain and money in the future

edited for clarity, I have no business getting this detailed at this hour, lol
@seaglass its funny that you say that...or rather ....the timing is funny.
I was watching another video of tje guy i posted, and he just said that "weak muscles often ache".
And youve just reenforced that.

Which is all the more reason to stay strong.

And im dead set sure knowing this stuff saves money ....and a lot of misery too.

I saw a podcast once, and a guy asked "what do you think the three most important things in the body to keep in shape are ?"
Its :
- your lungs : we all need air.
- heart : it pumps air and nutrients to your whole body
- and ....this got me - the legs : they enable you to be mobile. Without independent mobility our life shrinks terribly.

I don't know how true this is.....but it makes you think ..... one thing not working right, or in pain .... can ruin so much potential living.

Im cool with growing old....
But i dont wanna do it in misery. That'd really suck.
