How To Fix Knee Pain For Life! ft. Kneesovertoesguy

Ben Patrick, known as the "Kneesovertoesguy," demonstrates how targeted, regressive exercise can rehabilitative severe joint damage and build "anabolic" properties within the knee. Central to this approach is the backwards sled pull, which provides high blood flow with minimal joint trauma, serving as a foundation for more advanced movements like the tibialis raise and the ATG split squat. Patrick, who manages a partially artificial kneecap and has doubled his vertical jump through these methods, emphasizes that strengthening the "first line of defense"—the muscles and tendons surrounding the joint—is more effective than traditional painkillers or standard physical therapy. Key insights include the necessity of training the tibialis to absorb force and the debunking of the 1970s myth that knees passing over toes is inherently dangerous. By utilizing measurable loads and avoiding training through sharp pain, even those with chronic patellar tendinopathy can structurally transform their joints over several years.
