Bad Knees? Try These
Ways to start improving your Knee Joint Health
Last year I began Monthly 4 Week Mobility Challenges that would give participants an opportunity to experience what an introductory Mobility Training Program might look like.
These challenges were very successful and many people reaped major benefits. The goal for each month was to focus on one joint and spend 20 to 25 minutes per day, 4 days per week working to improve it.
This year the challenges continue, but there are now more options available for purchase.
You can now select to just join for the current month’s program or sign up for a package that gives you access for longer and for multiple months.

What many of us don’t know is that our knee is supposed to rotate. Not only that, we don’t realize that rotation is fundamental to our Knee’s health, longevity an…
The knee is also required to flex and extend, but in order to flex fully there needs to be some rotation.
We not only need to be able to move into these spaces, but we need to then strengthen those ranges of motion.
Range and Strength through the range that you have are major keys!
