  I was candidate for total knee replacement.  Before the surgery my surgeon put me through 6 months of a multimodal program that included all of your recommendations.  For the PT, because I live a distance from any PT services, I asked that a PT regimen be created for me to do at home.  For 6 months I religiously did PT 5 days per week, 45 minutes per session.  At my 6 mo visit, surgeon said I no longer needed surgery.  So I had PT augment my PT routine to help me continue to avoid surgery- session is now 1 hour every other day plus about 15 minutes on a stationary recumbent  bike which I installed at home.  PT is THE mode that saved me from surgery (so far)- the other modes were practically ineffective.  Your videos are wonderful!

  My wife had several knuckles replaced in her 40s and 50s and was prepared to do more.  She was also looking for a doctor that would do a knee replacement for her at age 56.  First doctor told her she was too young so she was looking for another that would do it.  We then both went keto/low carb and in less than 6 months all joint pain went away.  2 1/2 years later and there is still no pain.  Best thing we ever did.

  These guys were down to earth,  they offered many good options,  very informative.  I am an RN and have had knee pain for years but dont want surgery.  I love their easy,  nonjudgmental  manner.  I would feel very comfortable asking them any questions I have.  So glad I found this video!

  37 years with bad knee, several docs, nobody has educated me like that.  This is what quality healthcare sounds like. Good job guys, keep it up.  Communication and education, that’s the future for healthcare.

  Thanks for your honesty, I am a retired orthopedic RN and I have seen all of the things that you have said. I say keep your original parts as long as you can without to much pain and suffering!

  70 yrs bone on bone arthritis with bone spurs close to knee replacement several times. I lost 50 lbs. I take water aerobics great exercise. Drink Turmeric golden milk for inflammation. Now walk 3 to 5 miles a day. Have my husband use pastry roller on hamstrings helps so much with flexibility. Very little pain and can do so much now. No need for surgery in my future.

  I found this video very informative and thanks for both your simplicity and great info I needed to hear today.  This year my knees reacted to weight gain (25 lbs) and years of tennis etc but determined to apply all your expertise to eliminating as much discomfort as possible.  Thank you both again.

  I’m just entering this world of knee arthritis. What is helping me is icing my knee after golfing. Also keep moving even if you are sore it keeps the joint lubricanted. All your advice was easy to understand and sensible.
