Stop Doing Quad Exercises for Knee Pain, Here's Why.

Knee Arthritis Recovery Program: https://epmpt.mykajabi.com/knee-arthritis-recovery-program In this video, Dr. David debunks a common myth about knee arthritis: more quad exercises won’t help and might even make it worse! He explains how knee arthritis often stems from muscle imbalances caused by overly dominant quads. To get lasting relief, he focuses on strengthening three key muscle groups: the glutes, toe-curling muscles, and abdominals, all of which help reduce pressure on the knee joint. Dr. David also introduces the concept of reciprocal inhibition, showing how activating the glutes can relieve tension on the knee, providing a sustainable path to knee health. 00:00 - More quad exercises won't heal knee arthritis, but this will 00:05 - Muscle group most people think should be strengthened 01:16 - Why strengthening the quads is a mistake 01:47 - The long term effects of quad dominance 03:34 - Our Knee Arthritis Recovery Program 05:06 - First muscle group that needs to be strengthened 07:23 - Second muscle group that needs to be strengthened 08:22 - Third muscle group that needs to be strengthened #elpasomanualphysicaltherapy #drdavidmiddaugh ==================================================================== ✅ Subscribe for more FREE tips on how to stay healthy, active & mobile while avoiding unnecessary medication, injections, or surgery: https://www.youtube.com/Epmanualphysicaltherapy?sub_confirmation=1 👟 Because we've had so many comments about what shoes Dr. David is wearing, here's a link to the shoes on Amazon: Dr. David's Shoes With Insoles - Olukai Brand https://amzn.to/3GwFJeh 💆‍♀️The massage table Dr. David recommends can be found at this link: https://amzn.to/43Xl4ho //JOIN OUR ONLINE PROGRAMS! https://www.epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/online-programs/ //COME SAY HI!
