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
