Intro is perfect
Cheers for the Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Taparton Lard Destroying Takeover (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for finding the trick to deal with knee pain minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my GF finally got amazing success with it.

Waste of time
This channel is an absolute goldmine!
I love you guys, you know how to teach and entertain people even if they have pain somewhere in their bodies.
Thank you! I have an incomplete spinal cord injury (T2-T8) that was originally diagnosed as complete due to spinal shock. I've been making progress for 5 years and am so close to walking without a cane. I just need to strengthen my quads due to atrophy and never completely regaining that muscle strength. I did several years of physical therapy and nobody did most of these with me. I finally started naturally swinging my arms again! Complete game changer!
Love your videos, they are so genuine, and informative.
Thank you for showing me how to get out of a chair with arms the right way. I haven't progressed to getting out of one without the help of my arms. That will help me when I am at the kitchen table. I am glad you have put these videos on KZhead. My legs and arms are very weak. These videos will help. Bill
This was so helpful to me, thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for this video. I have a grade 2 MCL sprain along with osteoarthritis and really needed some beginner exercises for my quads (my other knee has had patella-femoral arthritis for years). These I can do!
This is the perfect video. Cant wait to get started!!
Advanced exercises start at 5:09
Thanks for helping out our fans :)
Your information is nice and basic. Appreciate the simplicity and down to earth information
Love it ! I’m a PTA in Florida and I’ve visited your channel a lot for neat exercises and brushing up on a few things :) and yes I’m already subscribed:)
I can't believe this popped up on my list today. I have managed to get recurring quad tendonitis and this is going to be so helpful. Thanks guys! Your videos are timeless
Happy to help!
I see I need to create my own PT guideline videos with a SeaHawk in the Background:) thank you for all the Great Videos!! in PTA school You two are much funner than the books!!!
I have incredibly weak quads due to years of inactivity. Thanks for these exercises! I’ll be doing the easy ones everyday first, then hopefully progress.
did you notice that your legs was shaking when stretching it?
high quality info.great stuff!
Thanks for the great exercises!
thanks Bo & Brad, i am now prepared for my skill two practicals
Just when I needed you guys. Love seeing you two together. The greatest! Love Happy Valentines Day to Bob n Brad! 🤗💕
You too!!
Great exercise and you do not need expensive equipement to do it. I have L3 protrusion with crural pain. Now the pain is off but this left me with important weakness on my quadriceps and with loss of about 20% of quadriceps mass to one leg. So in the last weeks I struggle to rebuild that muscles. When I was young I built that muscle with many years of bike effort so now is not easy to rebuild. I am 45 years old and over weight. All equipement I have in my home are a big ball and a wood medical stall bars. So your example of exercises are very good for me. Thank you for being so helpful and generous.
Oh my god thank you for your work. ;-; i have to do home physical therapy or get surgery on my knees. Ill be using these videos to help my therapy

The 4 minute mark is exactly what I improvised doing with my grandmother today, well without standing up completely, including the cup of coffee. I'll try with a harder chair next time and see how it goes. Thanks for the tips and stellar intro.
I LOVE this video - these have helped.
So happy we could help

Great video, what is the added value from having a ball when wall squatting?
My 2 favorite therapists
Thanks for sharing this useful video. I have a small query - Am 46 years old. I had a ACL injury at the age of 20. After doctor's suggestion i did lift up exercise for a long time (around 2 years)with weights. Till few years back i wasn't having any problem. But now i feel my thighs are week. I have put on a lot of weight as well. What would you suggest for me??? Thanks
Practicing those exercises would help my knee from grinding too much And release pressure from my knee??
I find your videos very helpful. I have 3 disc protusions. L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1. I have had very severe episodes of backpain with severe sciatica. I couldnt even move my body. After physiotherapy and medications i am now able to walk. I still get pain every now and then. I walk for about an hour everyday and now i am noticing severe knee pain (on the front). Will these help my knee ? Thank you in advance.
Great video! :D I have a small question. Is it possible for you guys to (may be) do a small video about being bed ridden for a long period of time. I feel like there's not much out there about longtime depression and the muscle weakness that comes with it. Thanks for these videos! Have a lovely day :)
damn you still haven’t got an answer for 4 years 😭
@@0mukz Nope xD
Same problem am facing
I was bedridden for about 6 months and it totally devastated my physical strength and endurance. Hard to describe what it feels like to exercise after something like that - must be what it feels like to be attacked by a dementor from Harry Potter. The other thing I noticed was that I lost my ability to "warm up" before exercising. Lots of weird little side effects which I was able to overcome. I can tell you what helped me. A mistake I made was trying to do too much too soon - like I mentioned any physical exertion felt HORRIBLE - and I was trying to do what I used to be able to do which was so discouraging. One thing that worked really well for me was Couch to 5k. The program worked because it starts off with very small challenges/levels that you keep trying until you can pass them. Then you move up a to a challenge that is a little bit harder. Again, if you fail the level it is ok because you just try again - failing is ok because in the process of failing you're strengthening your endurance. It took me a while to complete Couch to 5k - after which I started doing some strength training/conditioning. Again - start small! Don't try to do what you used to be able to do - that just sets you up for failure. If it is possible for you I would really recommend going to a physical therapist to help you make a realistic recovery plan.
@@vivianuganda1392 See my comment - maybe it will help?
first time here, you guys are cool! (that might not mean much as I'm in my late 40's, I find some vacuum cleaners cool) :) Recoving from Achilies rupture, currently in a Vacuped boot. The hospital didn't tell me anything at all, just strapped it on and sent me home.

Sir, i had a knee effusion before 5 months, and from the last report before 1 month i had a small lateral meniscus tear..!! During this period my affected leg becomes thin as quadriceps gone week...!! So can i do this exercise? Or it will damage my lateral minescus?
These exercises are perfect for my weak quads... thanks! ~Susanne
Hahaha, a ball... I see what you did there!
I am recovering from tearing both patella tendons. These exercises look like I can do them. Would you recommend a leg press?
I need to learn these exercise from my class because my legs will go out and I will go down to the floor. This is a must for me it’s making me handicapped because I cannot walk for long distance because in my quads has the first thing that gives out then I go down.
How are you making out? Best wishes…
Doc, I’ve had two knee surgeries for a torn ac and a torn meniscus, now it’s been 5 months post my second surgery I never did professional therapy I did it at home, there’s a big difference in the size of my quads and I suffer of chondromalatia on the injured knee. I’d love to know if theses exercises can help my build a stronger quads and make the chondromalatia go away
I am four weeks postpartum and sustained femoral nerve damage during my delivery. After delivery, I had lost all ability to extend my left leg. Now, I can extend my leg to 55 degree extension. I find this video to be very helpful with tips to strengthen my quad while waiting for my nerve to continue repairing. My neurologist says I have 3-6 months before I have full function of my leg again.

What do you suggest for someone with quad tendinopathy that literally can't even do the ball or chair squats?

Which exercise target the quads. I don't want to exercise my hip flexors
What would you call the isometric leaning on chair?
I hurt my left quadricep muscle while doing squats or lunges with weights at the gym. It has been 6 months and it's a lot better but sometimes (but not everyday or all the time) I will be just walking around and it tightens up with pain. It sometimes helps to just sit down or to massage it. I'm worried because this problem doesn't seem to be going way. What can I do about it?
Any recommendations for quads exercises with immortalised knee?
I don't know that I might get reply by you guys but I had a quadriceps v-y plasty surgery and I'm not able to lift my lower leg up...I just started walking and I aim to run ASAP suggest me with something PLEASE.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge God has bestowed upon you, based on your hard work over many years of practice. I have had a Proximal Femur reduction surgery (was run over by a speeding truck coming from behind). I was at my wits end with my PT Instructor having unable to help me lift my left leg (the injured one) from a lying down position. I will try your techniques surely. Thanks.
Still very useful video after 5 years. I am having torn ACL, got diagnosed and i am about to start this quadricepts exercise.
Hey i had my acl surgery done 27 th june. My quads are completely weak now. I’m just doing simple leg raises with 2 kg weight cuff. Though it irritates the knee.
@@vidyutdevam9204 take it slow man, after 1 month of diagnosed i started simple leg raise with any weight cuff. After 2 months i started this quadricepts exercise like squat, wall sits etc
Do these every day or every second?
Does inline skating help?
I had total knee replacement 4 months ago, i still cant get my leg to extend totally straight, what can i do?
