Sensei Gerald is on a mission.

For years, the mat has been a place of discipline, focus, and purpose for him. But recently, two major challenges stood in the way. Knees that simply wouldn’t let him move the way he wanted to.

So he did something about it.

This year, Gerald took on not one, but two total knee replacements. That’s no small decision, and it takes serious courage to commit to that level of change.

Now, just two weeks into recovery from his second knee replacement, he’s already making excellent strides toward his goal of getting back on the mat.

Gerald is the picture of hard work and determination.

At True Health & Performance, this is why we do what we do. Helping people return to the things that give their life meaning.

Be like Sensei.

If you are in need of a orthopedic surgeon for your shoulder, check out Michael Boin, MD!

He stays up to date with clinical practice and patients rave about his outcomes.

The AAOS recently updated their Clinical Practice Guidelines for treatment of rotator cuff tears. There is now a strong recommendation for augmenting rotator cuff repairs with bioinductive implants. This was made based on high quality evidence which shows that augmentation decreases retear rates and improves patient outcomes. Who else is a fan of augmenting cuff repairs?

Knee pain doesn’t have to be your norm.
JAMA just highlighted what we see every day in the clinic: most knee pain — from osteoarthritis to patellofemoral pain to many meniscal issues — responds best to exercise-based rehab, guidance, and a targeted plan, not rushing to surgery.

If your knees have been slowing you down, stiff in the morning, or sore after activity…
Come see your local rehab specialist. We help you move better, hurt less, and get back to what you love.

📢 ICYMI: This Review summarizes current evidence regarding the diagnosis and management of adult —with a focus on (OA), patellofemoral pain (PFP), and meniscal tears.

Knee pain drives about 5% of all primary care visits. Globally, OA impacts over 650 million adults, PFP has a lifetime prevalence of 25%, and meniscal tears affect 12% of the adult population. OA is most common in patients aged 45+; PFP typically affects younger, active individuals.

First-line therapy for all three conditions centers on exercise, education, weight loss (for OA), and self-management. Most meniscal tears and PFP improve with rehabilitation—surgery is reserved for select cases. These conservative approaches may reduce pain and improve function, minimizing adverse effects and disability.
