"I’ve done PT for my knee ten ways that haven’t worked. This method does. The exercises are simpler and more practical, and the tool that comes with this kit is exceptionally high quality — the blade makes the roller I used to use feel like a toy, and lets me replicate what a great PT does with their elbow on my own at home."
"I love it. It's helped me bounce back much faster vs. doing it on my own."
The Alleviate Massage Blade is designed to replicate the shape and strength of a physical therapist's hand. The brushed aluminum provides the right amount of friction and tactile feedback you need for an effective therapeutic massage.
Carry it with you everywhere, and apply it yourself to prepare for activities and massage away pain when you need an immediate relief.
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, one step at a time.
"I've dealt with Plantar Fasciitis for years...nothing relieved my pain as quickly as Alleviate! After just five days, I noticed a huge difference in how I felt getting out of bed in the morning...my lower legs feel better, my feet feel better and the mobility in my toes feels more fluid."
"I use my Arch Massager as a regular part of my training & competition routine to stay ahead of injury and perform at my best. I can feel the difference, and I recommend it. You don't have to be an elite athlete to want your feet to feel better."
"There are hundreds of products in my retail store. There are less than 10 in my treatment room. The Arch Massager is one of them."
"Alleviate is a one-stop shop for pain relief and long-term results. It marries three effective treatment modalities. I've never seen anything so comprehensive and holistic. The instructional exercise videos are informative and effective, and housed in an app that visually depicts a patient's progress over time... it's a no-brainer!"

Build lifelong skills to manage Runner's Knee with expert guidance.
Tell us your north star - what you want to be able to do without Runner's Knee holding you back. We'll build you a clear roadmap to reach your goal, whether running a full marathon or getting work done, pain-free. It'll take work, but we'll guide you all the way through the six-level program of progressive strengthening exercises.
Using gentle, light strokes, activate the key thigh muscle (VMO) that stabilizes the kneecap in the correct position before your activities. You'll be using the Alleviate Massage Blade to help increase the output of your VMO before your daily strengthening exercises.
Make the recovery routine a part of your day. Build strength and stability through the entire kinetic chain with eccentric strengthening exercises, leveling up at your own pace. Luke will coach you with follow-along videos, Massage Blade demos and the science of Runner's Knee recovery.
After activities or at the end of your day, use longer, slower, deeper strokes of the Alleviate Massage Blade to work out the tension, reduce pain, and break up adhesions in your Iliotibial band (ITB).
Track your work, recognize your progress, and keep your mental game strong. Once you reach your goal, keep using the two tools in the Runner's Knee Essentials to recover from activities, tackle early signs of flare-ups quickly, and keep your defenses strong.
Glide the valley over the VMO to gently activate this key muscle. The two peaks are for deeper tissue work to resolve adhesions and transform the problematic tissue. Long, comfortable handles create a powerful leverage.
Carry the low-profile Blade with you everywhere. Use it to prepare your knee before your favorite activities, apply a quick pain-relief massage afterward, and release tension at the end of the day for a fresh start tomorrow.
Motivation is the fuel that drives consistency, which drives outcome. Keep your mental game strong with daily progress assessments, notifications, streak counts and energizing exercises as you level up.
Add the Recovery Balm to your massage. The smooth glide of the emollient makes deliberate moves easy and natural, and the soothing aroma of arnica and peppermint not only elevates your journey but relieves pain as you wind down your day.
