Why Sign Up for Better Knees for Life™ ?

If you have tolerable knee discomfort - intermittent, achy or painful knees that is annoying but not quite bad enough to go to a doctor - Better Knees for Life™ is for you.

Maybe you've tried exercise, stretching, heat, cold, anti-inflammatories, massage...you name it, you've probably tried it to get rid of the pain, yet it persists.

You're frustrated no doubt.

In Better Knees for Life™, you'll finally get past all of this frustration.

Here's how:

• understand why symptoms come and go and what to do about it;
• learn how to heal and strengthen your knees from the inside-out - beyond just trying to make your muscles stronger;

• get advice about when and how to make these exercises harder.
• learn how to monitor your progress and how to use it to make better decisions;
• follow-along exercise routines with Laurie Kertz Kelly

BUT...

Better Knees for Life™ isn't for everyone.

Don't sign up if you:

• want to push through pain or discomfort;
• expect a quick fix;
• don't like working on your own;
• have had imaging studies (e.g., X-Rays, MRI) that have revealed fractures, ligament tears, & and/or grade IV cartilage injuries or areas of cartilage loss with exposed bone;
• have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-- rather than osteoarthritis (OA) or chondromalacia;
• are also experiencing significant limitations due to pain in other areas, such as ankles, hips, or back;
• have knee pain that is constant & severe (i.e., pain does not ever change / decrease).

"Benefits that will last a lifetime"

“BKL focuses on nourishing and strengthening knee cartilage to help assure that I will be able to maintain an active lifestyle for my entire lifespan.

I am pleased to see improvement in knee function following a training-related injury, but I am now realizing that the BKL program will have benefits that will last a lifetime as I follow this well-defined program.”

Focuses on Knee Health

“Following an April 2019 injury, I did physical therapy two or three times a week for several months where the emphasis was on strength, agility and balance. My lower body strength was good at the time, yet I did not see improvements in my pain levels when climbing steps or getting out of a chair. 

Improving cartilage quality, resiliency and strength was never discussed during PT. In contrast, BKL exercises focus on cartilage health by bringing moisture and nutrients to knee cartilage to restore viability and function. 

Between the BKL pilot program and applying the Dr. Kelsey’s principle of “Passive Continuous Motion” in my daily life, I have seen a significant reduction in knee pain.”
