Phase 3

 Your knee might feel good most of the time, only acting up once or twice a month. 

When pain does appear, it’s usually mild and short-lived, though every few months, it may flare up more intensely before settling down.

Many in this phase feel relieved that their knee isn’t hurting every week like before. Even doctors and physical therapists consider this a “success” and may discharge you from care, advising you to stay active, take supplements, and manage your weight.

But here’s the truth: you still have an underlying muscle imbalance—one that likely hasn’t been addressed. 

You have HUGE potential to get your knee stronger and healthier than it’s been in years—but only with the right plan.
