hey guys so we have another lovely client here and I want you to just tell us your right knee hurts right yes I have some pain in my knee from the right right so how long have you had pain for two year two years two weeks ago I have problem a lot really was there an injury or it just started hurting no only I don’t know I had only pain I don’t know what is maybe accident or okay and now um does it hurt when you’re sitting or do you have to stand on it and kind of walk and sometimes I am city or on I sleep is difficult for me for clothes my my knee and my problem is when I you stand up and I yoke is therefore it is difficult for walking okay so just stand up right here and just stand and then kind of like like just kind of bend down and tell me if it hurts and you kind of bend down does that hurt look okay um have a seat so give me a number ten being very severe zero no pain give me a number I think in the NAM or maybe seven seven okay so now what we’re going to do is I’m going to show you how to fix the knee the only time this would not work is if she had an actual tear okay so now what you’re going to do is you’re going to sit right here and the way to fix the knee is we work on the the goodness you can sit back a little bit and we want to work on the muscles on the opposite side so if the pain was right here would work on these muscles pains here we work on these muscles and I’m talking about pressing in here now you could do this to yourself if you like to put yourself in pain now just kidding you could work on yourself if you use like a foam roller or a massage tool but I’m pressing in the muscle that goes straight in the center of the thigh okay so now we’re working on the rectus from for us right in here now it’s interesting it’s always going to be twice as tender on the opposite side so I do expect this to be sore so I get to make sure if her eyeballs don’t pop out too badly right through in there feel that right there so we want to go right up into the hip okay that’s step one now we’re going to work on the muscle just on the outside of that it’s called the vastus lateralis and we’re going to press in there yeah this is the one that she’s been compensating she’s been putting the pressure I like to take a broad contact and this would be good on that foam roller to lay on her side but I’m just putting pressure and letting gravity do the work I’m just leaning on it and I know it’s tender so I’m just going gradually a broad contact right through in here good morning wake-up call okay so we’re just going to press here now what this is probably the worst point right there you feel that now I’m going to come in on the side at another angle right into the sides but these are the points now while I’m doing this go ahead and move this knee back and forth yeah keep going back and forth back and forth yeah mm-hmm so this should go should feel looser now typically what people will tell you is they’re going to say oh of course if you step on the foot it’s your cause pain here it’s not going to hurt there that’s not how this is working we’re basically sending signals back up because both of these are on the same circuit and they work together I’m sending signals to the brain tell this need to - stop stop suiting pain signals on that side like right into the hip we can come down here right and there okay good so now stand up right there and just stand out here okay so does it feel a little better yes thank you so much okay so what it feels what’s the number now it was at a nose now is good you know I don’t have problem now I’m go ahead and bend down a little bit let’s see if you can bend a little bit more yeah not too far away right there just kind of bending see if you can bend down a little bit yeah yeah it’s not bad wow that’s actually pretty good so good thank you so much Jefferson you’re welcome so that’s not bad for two years being or two weeks I’m sorry being in pain but so now we know for a fact it’s not tore because it got better fast if it didn’t get better you would want to go get it scoped out by an ortho or something but the fact that it got better means that she would want to do this every day but here’s the key you want to get deep into these points all I did is one treatment and it took me like about two minutes she’s going to have to work on this over and over and over because those are knots they’re like cords and you have to work all that out over a pier - probably one to two weeks before - just be stable and then make sure you don’t limp when you walk like walk normally okay but it’s going to take a lot of pressure off this neat and this knee will actually feel like it’s looser it’s more relaxed and more stable okay so are you happy now yes and so how do you think okay you’re welcome all right go ahead and put your comments below and I will see you in the next video
