🚨 Still stiff months after an ankle sprain ?

Announcement

First of all — THANK YOU! 🙏
Your support this year has meant the world to me. I couldn’t have come this far without you.

When I introduced the Israel edition of The KnotDoctor News, I opened it to everyone who had ever been a patient, as my way of giving back.

Now it’s time to take the next step. One of the true benefits of remaining an active patient is continued access to my knowledge, updates, and insights. Starting January 2026, the monthly KnotDoctor Patient Newsletter will be sent exclusively to ⚠️ ACTIVE PATIENTS ⚠️.

I’m grateful for every one of you who has been part of this journey, and I look forward to continuing to share tools, tips, and guidance with those I have the privilege of treating.

🚨Sub-10 Ironman Alert!🚨

It’s rare to come across an athlete like Roy Assor not because he trains hard. He does. But because he does the homework. Religiously. That’s how PRs are made.

9:59:02. That’s what he just threw down. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

That’s not just a time, that’s multiple years of relentless work, brutal training, upgrading his recovery and doing the ever adjusting homework .

Roy didnt break 10 hours at Ironman just because he trained harder. He did. But he trained smarter as well.

He was already grinding hard. Already committed.
Already 💯 all-in.

What changed ?

Recovery.

I’ve worked with him for 4 years and watched him achieve some PRs but this was the big one.

How did we do it ?

🔍 focused manual therapy
🤖 precision massage
🗺️ strategic treatment
📈 personalized care

Not just to heal but to optimize his performance. To help the muscles grow. To help them produce more speed for longer distances. And, by doing this increase maximum power output.

Here’s what it lookedikenon race day;

💥 01:16 swim
💥 4:57 bike
💥 3:35 run

🧠 Training + Recovery = PR BUSTING

Training builds your power.
Recovery releases it.

I could not have been prouder, Roy, to have been part of this journey to greatness.

You earned every second of that PR.

Let this be a reminder to every athlete chasing something big:

🛑 Stop ignoring recovery.

✅ Start training like performance depends on it.

🚨 Because it does.

Time vs. Results Policy

At The KnotDoctor, you’re paying for results, not just time. Some issues require the full session; others can be resolved faster due to advanced skill and precision.

If your treatment is completed in less time than scheduled, you’ll still be charged for the full session, unless we discussed otherwise in advance.

You’re investing in over 20 years of experience—not just minutes on a clock.

Thank you for understanding and respecting the value of expert care.

“No Offseason for Recovery”

For athletes like triathletes, CrossFitters, runners, and weightlifters, recovery isn’t optional—it’s essential. 🏊‍♂️🏋️‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Consistent recovery therapy helps prevent fatigue, injury, and chronic pain, keeping you at peak performance all year.

Try these recovery tips at home:
1️⃣ Foam roll tight areas for 10–15 minutes.
2️⃣ Stretch to maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness.
3️⃣ Stay hydrated and fuel your body with protein and omega-3s.

Recovery is training. Take care of your body, and it will take care of you! 💪

Is Your Massage Therapist Really Meeting Your Needs?

Before your next session, ask yourself these 3 important questions:

1. Are they just going through the motions, or are they treating the root of my pain?

2. Do they have the advanced knowledge to handle athletic, chronic, or complex muscular issues?

3. Am I seeing real, lasting results—or just temporary relief?

If you hesitated or answered “no” to any of these, it’s time for an upgrade.

At The KnotDoctor ATC, I don’t do “fluff”. I combine 20+ years of experience, elite-level training, and advanced soft tissue therapies to actually fix what’s wrong—not just make you feel better for a few hours. From pro athletes to weekend warriors, my clients trust me to get results that last.

Pain is optional.
Settling is too.
Let’s raise the bar for what massage therapy should do for you and your performance.
