Podcasts about Knee pain

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I explore the anatomy and clinical significance of the popliteus — the small, often overlooked muscle that unlocks the knee and why it may be a missing link in lateral knee pain, shin splints, post-surgical inhibition, and chronic joint irritation. I share reflections from my own ACL-deficient knee during an 8 week plyometric intensive and how restoring dynamic confidence changed not just my performance, but my joint symptoms. We'll also explore how the popliteus interfaces with the fibula, meniscus, joint capsule, and even the SI joint and why treating it in isolation rarely creates lasting change.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the popliteus is central to unlocking knee flexion in closed-chain movementWhy this muscle becomes hypertonic after injury and why releasing it isn't enoughHow posterior capsule, fibular motion, and meniscal connections influence knee painPractical ways to combine manual therapy and yielding plyometrics for better outcomesIf you've ever wondered why the popliteus keeps “tightening back up,” this episode will help you understand what it's protecting and how to work with it instead of against it.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Ep. 8: Unlocking The FibulaEp. 21: Easily Restore Knee Extension After Injury or SurgeryEp. 25: The Peripheral HeartEp. 78: Easily Restore Knee Flexion After Injury or SurgeryEp. 79: The Deeper Impact of Plyometrics w/ Matt McInnes WatsonEp. 138: The Link Between Potassium and Shin SplintsSquat Warmup VideoTutorial to Improve Knee Flexion VideoBook I Mentioned: New Manual Articular Approach: Lower Extremity by Jean-Pierre Barral & Alain CroibierSign Up For A Barral Institute Course (Tell them Anna Hartman sent you!)Learn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Most people think of a knee injury as a knee problem. You tear something, you rehab it, you move on. But the science tells a very different story — one where a single traumatic injury quietly drives cartilage degradation, cardiovascular impairment, and systemic inflammation for decades after the initial damage has "healed." I got a firsthand look at this when an MRI revealed two meniscus tears, a split MCL, and early-onset osteoarthritis in my left knee. That last one was humbling. I always assumed osteoarthritis happened to other people — older, less active people. Not someone who squats heavy and trains consistently. In this episode, Forrest Smith — CEO and Co-founder of Kineon Labs, a health technology company specializing in targeted red light and laser therapy devices — returns for his third appearance on the podcast. And the picture he paints of what happens inside an injured joint long after the rehab is over is sobering. For example, the NFL tracked over 3,500 players who'd returned to competition after knee injuries and found chronic inflammation still present 10 to 20 years later, despite world-class rehab.  Notably, the quads on the players' injured side ran one to two degrees colder, a sign of impaired cardiovascular delivery. And the risk of major cardiovascular events jumped by 50% – not because of the original injury, but because of inflammation that never resolved. That's the cycle most people don't know they're stuck in. And it's where laser-based photobiomodulation changes the equation. Targeted 808nm lasers can drop inflammatory markers like TNF-alpha and IL-6 by 70 to 85% within days. Once that chronic degradation slows down, chondroblasts — the fast-growing front end of cartilage — can actually proliferate and begin rebuilding the extracellular matrix. Slow the destruction on one side, accelerate the biology on the other. That's what "regrowing cartilage" actually means. Penetration depth is what makes lasers fundamentally different from LEDs. At five to seven centimeters of reach, you're dosing 10 to 100 times more tissue volume than a surface-level panel can touch. Then there's the other side of this that almost nobody talks about: the ibuprofen your doctor hands you after surgery. Research shows that 90 days of use increases heart attack risk by 48%, heart failure by 35%, and major coronary events by 75% — while actively impairing the collagen and fibroblast function your body needs to heal. It's doing the exact opposite of what most people assume. If you've ever dealt with a joint injury, chronic inflammation, or just assumed over-the-counter painkillers were harmless, this one's worth your time. About Forrest Smith: Co-Founder and CEO of Kineon, a health-tech leader who spent 18 years in China building hardware startups and mastering the local supply chain. A lifelong athlete and CrossFit enthusiast, he founded Kineon after developing a portable, medical-grade laser device to treat his own chronic knee pain.  Website: https://kineon.io/blogs/authors/forrest-smith  [Discount Code] Use code MKUMMERMOVE for 10% off the Kineon Move+ Pro:  https://michaelkummer.com/go/kineon Learn more: Kineon Move+ Pro Review: https://michaelkummer.com/kineon-move-plus-review/ Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Joint Pain and Arthritis: https://michaelkummer.com/red-light-therapy-for-joints/  Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva!

Chronic knee pain can quietly end careers — especially when your body is your job.In this episode, professional dancer Kenniston Brown (Kenni) shares how chronic knee pain nearly forced him to walk away from dancing altogether. After trying massage, stretching, and other common recovery methods — and still ending shows barely able to stand — Kenni genuinely thought his career was over.Instead of accepting that outcome, Kenni committed to the Limitless Program, a movement-based approach to natural recovery focused on full-body alignment and long-term joint health. Through the program, he didn't just eliminate his knee pain — he rebuilt trust in his body and returned to performing pain-free, confident, and optimistic about his future on stage.In this conversation, we cover:What chronic knee pain feels like as a professional dancerWhy massage and other short-term fixes weren't workingThe fear of losing a career you've worked your whole life forHow the Limitless Program helped him heal naturallyWhy addressing the body as a unit changed everythingWhat it feels like to perform again without pain or fearIf you're dealing with chronic pain, questioning your future, or feel like you've tried everything — Kenni's story is proof that recovery is still possible.

A new trial in The New England Journal of Medicine found that exercise, whether done at home or with a physical therapist, helped reduce knee pain in adults with osteoarthritis and meniscal tears Supervised physical therapy (PT) offered a modest short-term advantage over home exercise. Much of PT's value may come from the attention and interaction with therapists rather than the specific therapeutic interventions Avoiding movement worsens knee arthritis over time by weakening muscles and stiffening joint structures, while regular exercise helps maintain mobility and reduce discomfort Surgery, including arthroscopy and meniscectomy, often fails to outperform exercise and carries long-term risks, making structured movement a better starting point Gentle, joint-friendly exercises like sit-to-stands, mini squats, leg raises, step-ups, cycling, and pool walking can help strengthen your knees and support long-term function

Deb's story of overcoming years of debilitating knee pain isn't just about symptoms resolving—it's about a paradigm shift. We talk about what happens when you stop assuming your body is broken, and instead begin listening to it, partnering with it, and seeing it as a safe place to return to. Deb learned to align with her body rather than fight it, and the result was profound physical and emotional transformation. We also dive into internalized weight stigma, body image, and the external pressures that shape how we view ourselves. Deb brings so much clarity around the harm of cultural narratives that tell us our bodies must look a certain way to be worthy or healthy. We talk about how those beliefs create nervous system activation, fear, shame, and pain—and how shifting into compassion, curiosity, and trust becomes its own form of healing. This conversation isn't just about knee pain. It's about liberation, empowerment, and remembering that your body is not a problem to fix—it's home.

The Prime Mover Series is back! This month, Matt and Allie talk to Zoë Luebbe, PT DPT about the movement she chose- walking through the grocery store! Timely for the busy holidays and chaotic public spaces like the grocery and retail stores, Zoë calls on her vestibular training and background to explain why this can be a very stressful task for different people. The risk of falling is very prevalent in patients having this difficulty, with dizziness and headaches adding to their issues, Zoë explains the types of degeneration that is commonly seen. She describes the muscles involved in this movement and the importance of overall coordination, strength, endurance and balance. Zoë also shares what treatment would look like for patients having trouble in any of these movements and how we can help them at Oxford PT.Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

Clinicians often zoom in on the knee with an acute meniscus tear, but the body usually has other plans.  In this episode, I walk through two client cases who arrived with classic meniscal presentations: pain, swelling, and loss of flexion. But the real driver of their pain at that assessment revealed itself only when I followed LTAP® findings back to the central nervous system.I break down how CNS tension alters dynamic alignment, hip mechanics, and tibiofemoral arthrokinematics, and why this pattern shows up so often in clients with knee pain. You'll hear exactly how I used the LTAP® to identify the true restriction and why the CNS initially mattered more than local knee work.In this episode, you'll learn:• How CNS tension alters gait, hip rotation, and knee loading during daily movement• Why addressing cranial containers can transform lower-extremity biomechanics• How simple sensory-driven treatments can reduce symptoms in structurally injured knees• When to treat locally, when to treat globally, and how to make that call with confidenceThis episode Is a practical reminder that system-level clarity leads to better outcomes, whethers it's in acute or chronic client cases.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Episode 86: Decoding The Nervous System For Health ProsEpisode 94: Understanding The Piriformis PuzzleLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Have you ever wondered why certain pains keep coming back no matter how much you stretch, rest or change your workouts? Sometimes the issue isn't the pain itself, but the way your body is trying to move without enough support.In this episode I sat down with a physiotherapist and rehab coach to talk about how strength and stability shift recurring aches, why hip control matters more than people realize, how your core holds you in everyday movement and why loaded mobility often creates more change than stretching alone.If you've been dealing with spots that keep acting up or you want to feel more supported when you train, you'll walk away with things that help right away. It's grounded and helps you make sense of what's been happening in your body.Tayla Cannon is the founder of Athletic Rebuild, a virtual approach that helps people move past quick relief and into strength that supports real-life movement. She joined us to talk about what happens when you finally bridge the gap between rehab and training. Tune in.What's Discussed:(00:00) Why pain keeps coming back and what your body might be missing(03:40) How strength changes the way your body handles load(07:15) The role of hip control in back, knee and everyday movement(12:02) What “core support” actually means in real life(18:10) Why stretching alone isn't changing your pain(22:55) How loaded mobility creates better results than passive work(27:30) Building capacity instead of chasing quick fixes(38:20) The mindset shift that makes rehab feel less overwhelmingThank You to Our Sponsors:Timeline: Get you free 3-day trial of Mitopure gummies.

He emphasizes the importance of muscular power and speed, explaining that strong but slow muscles can lead to knee injuries. Boyd outlines a training regimen focused on plyometrics to build the necessary power for injury prevention and improved running performance.TakeawaysKnee pain in runners is often due to slow muscles, not weak ones.Strong muscles alone do not prevent knee pain.Muscular power is crucial for protecting the knees while running.Plyometric exercises can help develop the explosive strength needed for running.Runners should focus on max effort in their training to build power.A structured approach to plyometrics can enhance running performance.Starting slowly and building up is key for those with knee pain.Incorporating variety in exercises can keep training effective and engaging.Training for power can lead to faster running times.Consistency in training is essential for long-term benefits.

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doctors of Physical Therapy Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom debunk the myth that deep squats are harmful to the knees and discuss their impact on knee health. They trace the misconception to outdated research and review recent studies showing deep squats are generally safe and beneficial for healthy adults, supporting overall knee health. The hosts discuss knee biomechanics, the importance of gradual progression, and individualized modifications. They emphasize that deep squats support functional movement, joint health, and knee health, even for those with knee pain, and encourage listeners to challenge old beliefs and approach squatting with confidence and proper technique.VivoBarefoot Discount:Support your feet and ankles with VivoBarefoot shoes—with perfect styles for any occasion!

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Most knee pain stories sound the same: a new running plan, a few hard workouts, and then an ache that won't leave. We take that familiar frustration and turn it into a practical roadmap. Starting with a clear scope—what coaches can do and when to refer out—we break down the anatomy that actually drives decisions, the screens that reveal load bottlenecks, and the progressions that build resilient knees.We lean into a joint-by-joint approach: verify ankle mobility so the knee doesn't become a substitute hinge, then probe hip rotation and control with the 90-90 position. From there, we show how calf capacity underpins every step—most people aren't near twenty-five single-leg calf raises—and why the frontal plane is a silent deal-maker for runners and lifters. Expect actionable strength work like side planks with abduction, standing abductions, seated and standing calf raises, and carefully dosed plyometrics once tissue tolerance is ready.Soft tissue isn't a fix, but it is a useful window. We explain how targeted work on the adductors and surrounding tissues can calm sensitivity so better movement sticks. We also demystify scary imaging, remind you that MRIs find “something” in almost everyone, and focus on what changes pain: load management, smart progression, and consistent retesting. The thread through all of it is collaboration—building a dependable relationship with a physical therapist, documenting assessments, and using simple benchmarks to show progress your clients can feel and see.If you coach people who run, squat, lunge, or just want to move without wincing, you'll walk away with a simple, repeatable system: assess, address, load, retest, and refer when in doubt.

The second installment of our Prime Mover episodes- Matt and Allie interview Shelby Yahl, Physical Therapist at our Hamilton location, on her selection of movement: climbing stairs. Shelby explains that she chose the topic because she has seen this trend in a lot of her patient cases. She also brings up how fear and avoidance of leaving their homes has patients remaining stagnant in their care. She describes every muscle involved in this movement and the importance of overall strength, range of motion and balance. Shelby also shares what treatment would look like for patients having trouble or pain in any of these movements and how we can help them at Oxford PT.Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

Matt and Allie are back to discuss this month's clinical corner article! In this case presentation- you'll hear about a patient who experienced consistent gluteal pain even after seeing his PCP, PA and PT. With more and more time passing and worsening symptoms, and a palpable mass finding by the PT, the patient was urged to get an MRI. This uncovered that the mass was identified as advanced-stage non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Luckily, after treatment and a couple months of PT, the patient resumed walking, golfing, etc with no pain and in complete remission! This article highlights the importance of hands-on PT, self advocacy, and early intervention.Read the article here: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptcases.2025.0126https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptcases.2025.0126Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

What happens when a personal trainer realizes that loading someone under a barbell without asking about their sleep, relationships, and emotional state is like trying to run software on a broken operating system?In this compelling conversation, Aleks Rybchinskiy shares his transformation from conventional personal trainer to Check Institute practitioner - one of fewer than 100 people to complete the full program. After a near-death experience at age 3, Aleks developed an insatiable curiosity about the deeper mechanics of human health that goes far beyond exercise and nutrition.Through fascinating case studies, he demonstrates how mysterious chronic pain often stems from unresolved emotional conflicts, how a client's complete colon removal led to breakthroughs in holistic healing, and why measuring pelvic angles might matter more than counting reps. His approach integrates movement, breathing, food, emotions, and relationships into a comprehensive system for addressing the root causes that conventional approaches miss.The conversation takes an unexpected turn into entrepreneurship as Aleks explains how his quest for clean, nutrient-dense snacks led to creating Bursky - meat sticks made from grass-fed, grass-finished beef, heart, and liver without the industrial additives hiding behind vague labels like "spices." From learning that citric acid comes from black mold to fighting manufacturers who insisted on shortcuts, his journey illuminates why getting real food to market is so challenging.This isn't just another health podcast - it's a masterclass in seeing the human body as an integrated system where physical symptoms often point to deeper imbalances in how we think, feel, and relate to others.BIG IDEAWhen people are moving, they're also having somatic experiences where their emotions are stuck in muscles, and the moment someone realizes they need to break up with a toxic partner, their back pain can disappear instantly.Instagram: health.performance.engineerWebsite: EatBerski.comBodhi Building InstituteSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this episode of From Pain to Possibility, I explore one of the most fundamental human movements, gait, and how it reveals key insights into knee pain, fatigue, and overall movement patterns. Walking isn't just about the feet and knees; it's a coordinated dance between the hips, pelvis, ribs, and breath. When one part of the system fatigues or stiffens, the knees often end up taking more than their share of the load. You'll learn how to recognize early signals of fatigue, tune into your breath, and notice subtle shifts in stride and rotation that show where your system might be compensating. I'll guide you through simple ways to restore balance while walking: small pauses, stretches, and breath resets that prevent pain before it starts. Gait isn't about perfect mechanics; it's about awareness, adaptability, and allowing your whole body to share the work with ease.  

Introducing the Prime Mover Series- a new kind of episode we are adding to our monthly posts where we will be breaking down all that goes into body movement. From everyday tasks like walking up and down stairs, grocery shopping to professional athletics, and more! Our first Prime Mover episode we interview Charley Meade, Physical Therapist & clinic manager, on his selection of movement: kicking a football. Charley explains every muscle involved in the kick and the importance of strength and mobility in the muscles that aren't technically the main focus of the action, those that stabilize, or as Matt declares, the "Prime Holders". Charley also explains what treatment would look like for athletes having trouble or pain in these movements.These episodes will be great for students in PT School, refreshers for PTs listening, and general education.Stay tuned for more Oxford PTs and the movements they choose!Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

Are you struggling with knee pain or want to prevent it? Today, I sit down with Laurie Kertz Kelly, a physical therapist and co-founder of the Better Knees Method, to explore a proven three-pillar approach to improving knee health without the need for medication, injections, or surgery.  She explains why X-rays don't tell the whole story, the importance of addressing joint fluid and cartilage health, and how small, targeted exercises can make a huge difference. You'll learn practical steps to lubricate your knees, strengthen cartilage, and gradually build load tolerance so you can get back to activities you love.  Plus, Laurie shares two simple exercises you can do at home to start improving knee mobility and reducing pain immediately.   "If you're having some knee pain, it's not a permanent situation. If it's arthritis, it's related to inflammation–you get rid of the inflammation, you get rid of the pain and the problems." ~ Laurie Kertz Kelly, MPT   In this episode: - [00:00] - Introduction to Laurie Kertz Kelly and the Better Knees Method - [03:36] - Why X-rays don't predict knee pain - [08:49] - Importance of joint fluid and cartilage in knee health - [13:46] - Three-pillar approach: soothing, strengthening, and mobility - [19:49] - Easy exercises: squats and chair-based movements - [21:54] - Success stories of knee pain recovery - [27:05] - Two key exercises to relieve knee pain - [31:56] - Knee replacement option - [36:04] - Using injections effectively with physical therapy - [41:33] - Step-by-step guide to quad sets and sitting sliders   Resources mentioned Healthier Knees to Support Your Bones - November 6th at 12:00 pm EST. https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/build-stronger-healthier-knees-to-support-your-bones  (Laurie will be teaching this class live with the Happy Bones, Happy Life community.

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom, both Doctors of Physical Therapy, discuss patellofemoral pain syndrome, a common cause of pain at the front of the knee. They debunk myths about outdated treatments and explain patellofemoral pain syndrome as an overload condition, highlighting its prevalence among adolescents, women, and runners. The hosts outline a phased, evidence-based rehab approach for patellofemoral pain syndrome, focusing on hip and knee strengthening, mobility, and gradual progression to dynamic activities. They emphasize the importance of load management, pain education, and consistency, and introduce their structured “Knee Plan” to guide listeners through recovery. Neck and Upper Back Plan:Dealing with the pesky neck or upper back pains?
