    How to fix knee pain

    Here is a video on posting today to show instability in my knees. I had a muscle test for knee pain and shin splints, and they always leave me ruined for a day or 2. Tomorrow i will post the video on how to fix it.

    We ran two stories on knees & internal arts this year

    I posted them on your knee strengthening thread, Wdhc, but I'll repost them here...cuz we gotta sell mags to keep this forum running, ya know?

    Im 34 years young and I *kneed the info in this thread .....

    and to make it more fun, I have those issues and did not read the articles about knee health, because when I got the mags, my knee was happy, now he's grumpy.
    smh, well I'll be going through the articles now.

    thanks again,

    happened when I was in gong bu a couple nights ago, my right knee was the forward (bent) knee in the stance, I was locking the stance, and I felt a shift and a subtle pop that actually feels good.
    Now when I straighten my right leg and make it tense, squeezing all the muscles, then slowly lean forward into R gong bu, I get that same "feel good" pop. Now, though Im sayig it feels good, its awkward and painful enough for me to know it shouldnt be doing that. anyone have this pain before and if so, what going on?

    I Missed The Fix In The Video I No_Know

    Unless you're saying one or more of this compilation of exercises might fix a person's knee pain which you didn't specifically say that, If my knee hurts right now how do I fix it from your video...the actual how to fix didn't communicate to me if it's there in that video.

    I don't want you to fix my knees nor help but the exercises, some are standards for prevention, Including prevention was good because it's other than a straight Fix video some might think.

    knee work

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-jeaxvVqqI

    heres a video of me working thru the "good pain" and popping my knee as well, which I didn't plan on happening. So you can get an idea of what I was saying about stretching it out. basically leaning into gong bu, and then pressing my foot down into the ground and gripping with my toes, then slowly retracting the stance to straighten my leg and pop/align my knee manually. .....trying to avoid bad gongfu knees, if you have any pointers or self therapy suggestions, for a tall person practicing a lot of low stances let me know please!
    thanks

    Wow. I am so sorry but that gave me some really bad sympathy pains just watching it. I got through about 1 minute and 29 seconds and had to stop.

    Please please please stop that routine for now.

    As we grow older, our body develops habits. It's natural and out way of life. When we have pain, we limp or change the way we do things to compensate. This compensation causes our muscles to develop differently. This makes one side stronger, the other side not as strong. For me, I walked with my toes slightly pointing out. This made my inner knees weaker and caused my patella to inflame and the meniscus to wear more with movement. I had to physically straighten my toes before walking to fix myself.

    Everyone is different. If you can post a video if you walking, I could help better. But for now, when stretching, you are putting way too much stress on your knees. Here are some rules that may help.
    1. NEVER let your knee pass your toes while standing
    2. Do not bounce with your stretch.
    3. Do not lock your knees EVER.

    Also you may be going to low for your knees putting more strain on them. Start by feet shoulder width apart. Sink to allow knees to bend and not pass your toes. Step out as far as you comfortably can, heel touches floor. You should be able to still lift your heel off the floor with no problem. Start training there, and as you train slowly go lower, and make sure you keep that control. This will slowly strengthen the muscles around your knees, ankles and hips.

    Thanks man, I appreciate the concern lol you dont have to worry about that routine though, I only did it for the forum to explain and give example of how Im able to stretch and somewhat extend beyond whats needed to get a certain "pop" in the knee, and rotate it still, also while washing my joints (Im still breathing as well) and loosening my lower leg. it looks more painful than it is, and as poor of a technique it is and as bad as it sounds, I actually only do it for adverse therapy. for example , doing that causes me no harm and makes long hours of gong bu or taolu a bit more comfy.

    also I have no pain or limp when I walk lol......maybe my post was misleading. what I was initially saying is I got a wierd "restricted feeling in my knee one day, while in gong bu, so on that day I "went too far" with the stance on purpose, in both directions, to get thru the restriction. during that time, I felt a "good feeling pop" which released the tension. I was giving the visual example and verbal description to see if anyone knew how to get that same good effect without extending too far either way..
    lol
    you almost make me want to upload a video of me breakdancing hahahahhaha just to ease your visual pain .....


    if you had sore eyes watching that, you should see how the new students, from the young to old, are literally forced into the splits, in both directions , when they start training.
