these stretches are great -- use a dog lease versus a towel and get a real stretch .... or for about 20 get a stretch out strap with these types of exercises --- it's what you do in phy therapy ....at least at the beginning

The stretches and exercises sound great. They would be better if pictures were included, I can't visualize the instructions.

I know it wasn't touched on in the article but I like to take glucosamine and chondritin tablets when my knees act up I think it helps.

I keep getting annoying ads that I can't get around when I try to click on the 'hot' links. I hope you can fix this problem as I am interested in finding out further information

I appreciated this article, I have already had my right knee totally replaced at age 49. I am working hard now to keep the original left one. I do feel that now that I have started working out and doing weight baring exercising, like walking on a treadmill and step ups. I already feel that I can move a lot easier.

No one has commented on this article in a while, so I thought I'd put this out there:

The only exercise that I can find listed in the strength trainer is Step-Ups, unless the other exercises (and stretches) are listed under different names. That said, it would be really helpful to have demos of these exercises and stretches, and even *more* helpful to have a simple way to add them to training en mass. Would this be possible?

Great article - I have had two knee surgeries, but only experience pain/stiffness when I take breaks from exercising. Good for people to know that exercising helps, doesn't hinder. Also - running is great for my knees!
