Course Description

Master Knee Pain Treatment with Confidence

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints you'll see as a massage therapist, yet it's often treated using outdated advice, unnecessary restrictions and techniques that don't produce lasting results.

This course will give you a completely new way of assessing, understanding and treating knee pain based on the latest clinical evidence.

Whether your client has been diagnosed with arthritis, runner's knee, jumper's knee, bursitis, patellofemoral pain or another knee condition, you'll learn how to confidently assess what matters, what doesn't, and how to create an effective treatment plan.

Learn From One of the World's Best-Selling Massage Instructors

I'm Mark Perren-Jones. Throughout my career I've treated thousands of people with knee pain while teaching more than 300,000 students around the world.

In this course I'll show you the same practical, evidence-based system I use to assess, treat and manage knee pain without relying on outdated myths or guesswork.

What You'll Learn

• How to confidently assess clients with knee pain.

• The most common causes of persistent knee pain.

• What current research tells us about arthritis, meniscus injuries, patellofemoral pain, tendon pain and bursitis.

• Which massage techniques can help—and when they should be used.

• Which stretches and exercises actually improve outcomes.

• A progressive strengthening program that helps reduce pain, restore function and build stronger, more resilient knees.

• How to educate your clients so they understand their condition and recover with confidence.

Why This Course Is Different

This isn't simply a massage course.

You'll learn how to think clinically.

Instead of treating diagnoses, you'll learn how to understand movement, loading, strength and pain, allowing you to confidently treat almost every client who walks into your clinic with knee pain.

You'll stop relying on guesswork and start making treatment decisions based on modern evidence.

Included With The Course

You'll also receive two downloadable eBooks packed with additional assessment tools, treatment ideas and practical resources to help reinforce everything you learn throughout the course.

Perfect For

• Massage Therapists

• Sports Massage Therapists

• Myotherapists

• Manual Therapists

• Bodyworkers

• Anyone wanting to better understand and overcome their own knee pain.

By The End Of This Course

You'll have a complete evidence-based framework for assessing, treating and managing knee pain with confidence.

Instead of simply hoping your clients improve, you'll know how to combine hands-on treatment, education and progressive strengthening into a clear system that delivers better long-term results.

Wow Wow . I have been going to a physio twice a week for over a month as I had two falls. One of my legs have been bent for years, and now it is getting straight. I will ask my physio what she calls my knee other than 'Knee" Unfortunately she is leaving the practice and this course is giving me such a wonderful insight be it a little overwhelming. Thanks so much Mark for explaining it so clearly.

Mark is one of my favorite teachers on Udemy. I’ve done and completed many courses with him and he explains everything in such a simple a great way and very easy to understand all his courses. Thank you Mark.

I LOVE all your courses. Easy to understand, Enjoyable & bit playful. Your A&P is spot on and the slides are beautiful. My Sister hurt her knee at home. She'd been to MD for Xrays (they couldn't figure it out), waiting 4 weeks to see the Chiro MD and Phys Therapy. I was an OrthoNurse I can explain the A&P, with this course I will be able to help her alleviate some pain using massage, Gua Sha and your home exercises. Double thank U for explaining R.I.C.E. is incorrect.

Yes! I really signed up for this course for my own knee pain, so there is tons of information that doesn't apply to me since I am not working with clients. However, I am enjoying this course of study. For those working with clients, this is a easy to understand, comprehensive course that is very very interesting.

By Jennifer Nebeker on 11/2/2023

I love how thorough this complete guide to knees is. It includes a variety of treatments,a discussion of both anatomy and conditions, and the best exercise guide I've seen in a long time.
