Hey Mobilites,
Today’s mission to come up with a game plan to create some breathing room for those of you with loud creaky knees. Crepitus by itself isn’t usually considered pathological until you consider that the human body shouldn’t really crunch or creak. At all. The leopard is made up of layers of silk sliding over steel springs….
Grab some water, check your mechanics (verticalize that shin), and see if you can’t make some change to that squeeky hinge joint. After all, that little pile of metal at the bottom of that tight door hinge isn’t really a good model for your leopard knees.

great info, I use the towel behind the knees in the 10 minute paleo squat. I used it in the kneeling position, explode to the squat video a few days back. A little history…back in the 70′s guys would use tennis balls under their knee wraps to record some wild squats numbers.

kelly, i have been getting some lateral knee pain (lcl?) since working on my external rotation. i have my toes pointed pretty strait and knees out but the outside still hurts, especially when i do the flexion/external rotation table stretch…feels like my knee wants to come apart at the outside. maybe you can help? oh, and last time i did that stretch, i heard a small pop….and now its pretty tender
Try either dropping the foot off the box/table, supporting the knee with your hand, or using the first mobilization shown in this video: http://www.mobilitywod.com/2011/05/episode-239365-better-purer-hip-extension.html
If it hurts, it hurts. Pain is no good.
In next mwod we attack the whole body in one stretch. =D

Thank you so much for a great cert on saturday. If you are ever in the area again. Please stop by for some brisket and mobility!!!
Thanks for the post on crepitus, I’ve been waiting to hear someone approach this for a long time!
Will this help address cracking knees? This is most likely due to two ACL surgeries.
Where did you get the data for the amount of water to intake per day? What’s your source? Just curious.
