Your Knees are Not the Problem Replay (8/11/2026)

Your knee hurts going downstairs. Or walking downhill. You've done the PT, you've done the exercises. It gets better for a week and then it's back.

Here's what nobody told you: your knee is almost certainly not the actual problem.

In just over an hour, we covered the knee as a hinge joint and why the hip and ankle on either side of it are almost always where the real trouble starts. We went through the anatomy (glute med, quads, TFL, and why the IT band cannot actually be stretched), and tied it to the patterns that cause the most common kinds of knee pain.

Then we did live hot seats.

Three participants with meaningfully different presentations moved on camera and got real-time assessments: one coming back from ACL and meniscus surgery, one with downhill pain whose ankle mobility was better than she'd been told, and one whose ankle restriction had been loading a rotation pattern through her knee and hip for years. You'll see what I'm looking for when I watch someone move and what changes when the right cue lands.

Everyone left with the same universal take-home and a nervous system reset that takes about eight seconds.

If your knee pain keeps coming back no matter what you try, this is worth your time.

This is Session 4 of the Not The Problem series. It works great as a standalone.
