I went heli-skiing in Alaska back in 2023. One too many cliffs and I limped across airports for a year... until I tried this knee system. Between the massages and the exercise routines, I was back in top shape in about three months. That was 8 months ago, and I have been doing everything I did before the injury since then. I am eternally grateful!
This system works! The exercise routines are short , simple , and easy to follow - I get better every time I do them. I’m on level 4 and really pleased with my results. The blade is very high quality, allows me to target the key spots, and fits well within the routine of the program. I would recommend and already have!

WHY IT WORKS
A complex joint, knee is easy to irritate again after an injury. Runner's Knee, or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, occurs when an inner thigh muscle called vastus medialis oblique (or VMO) switches off in response to pain signals. Working with outer thigh muscles, the VMO positions the kneecap (patella) in the correct location, so an imbalance between the inner and outer thigh muscles exacerbates the malalignment of the kneecap, causing more pain.
To stop this vicious cycle, we need to teach the brain and the VMO that activities won't cause pain - by giving them multiple successful experiences. This is why in the Runner's Knee Guided Recovery Program, you'll never exercise through pain. Rather, you always use the Alleviate Massage Blade to activate your VMO first, so it's ready to take the challenge and succeed.
Designed by a former pro team PT, the Runner's Knee Essentials are your go-to tool to rewrite the pain narrative, so you can keep moving while you recover, and keep recurrences at bay.
Runner’s Knee, a common overuse injury, can be effectively treated with knee massage techniques like Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). Here are 3 ways to use a knee massager to effectively reduce knee pain.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome exercises are a key part of your recovery. Because knee is a complex joint, Runner's Knee exercises are a little tricky to get right. Our PT shares how to reduce pain first and sequence the moves to maximize the benefits.
How long does Runner's Knee last? It depends on the severity, but active treatment should make a noticeable difference in 10-14 days. Here's what to expect, and 5 ways to shorten your recovery time.
Runner’s Knee, or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, is a repetitive stress injury that causes pain on the inside of your knee. Learn what's happening inside with Runner’s Knee, and how to effectively treat the root cause, at home.
