💪CASUALLY FIXING KNEE PAIN DURING CROSSFIT💪
Sometimes the most important part of getting someone out of pain isn’t where it hurts, but why it hurts.
This patient came in with knee pain during some of her favorite CrossFit movements: squats, single-leg deadlifts, RDLs, and any type of jumping. Everything loaded through that knee was lighting her up.
Instead of guessing, we followed the pattern the body was showing. Terminal knee extension was the real weak link, not the classic 90-degree quad test everyone expects. That end-range position is exactly where she lands and loads during those painful movements, so that’s where the dysfunction lived.
From there, we corrected what her body asked for:
• a jaw correction
• a left clavicle correction
• an adjustment to the talus
• and finally, the emotional stress pattern of frustration she’d been holding
And instantly—her knee strength returned to full power. She could balance, hinge, and load the leg without the instability or pain she walked in with. No hesitation, no guarding.
This is why I love working in the flow with patients. We can talk, laugh, and catch up on life while the body tells us exactly what it needs. What might take weeks of rehab, dry needling, injections, or a dozen appointments somewhere else often resolves in minutes when you follow the right sequence.
At the end of the video she says, “That’s crazy… this is why I come here.”
A problem that could’ve taken 6 or 12 visits somewhere else took about 15 minutes today.
When you ask the body instead of forcing it, things change fast.
