When will they realize that if the common way to deal with chronic knee pain was effective, then not as many people would suffer from it? Nearly 60% of athletes and 25% of the general population will have it at some point.
I did the leg extensions and banded stretches. I trained my Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) with terminal knee extensions and peterson step ups. I did more hip dominant lifts in the weight room. I lived by those theories , but I also died by them! I noticed that my knees only got worse! GUT CHECK: Have you wasted time on ineffective treatments? So I started from the bottom.
GUT CHECK: Have you wasted money on ineffective treatments? For a long time I thought my knees were at fault, so I tried the popular rehabilitation methods.
I trained myself to "forget" everything I thought I knew. Truth be told, I never put any focus on the knee itself. I worked without fancy braces. Without magical medicines. Without extravagant equipment. Just a few bands, a few ideas, and a lot of experimentation . I developed a systematic approach to fixing knee pain that I have since used to cure not only myself, but dozens of other people (see the testimonials below).
You get the same photocopied sheet of white paper with the half-assed drawings of people doing kiddy stretches and banded exercises.
