The Challenge: Overcoming a Knee Injury


Linda was struggling with:

❌ Persistent Knee Pain – Sharp discomfort in her right knee, especially during runs or climbing stairs.

❌ Reduced Mobility – Trouble fully bending or straightening her leg.

❌ Muscle Weakness – Weakened quadriceps and hamstrings slowing her down.

❌ Recurring Swelling – Inflammation around the joint making activity even harder.

She tried ice and rest, but the relief was only temporary. Wanting a lasting solution to get back to running, Linda came to us for support.
