Description
Knee pain is one of the most common type of pain in active individuals.
Knee pain can has a serious effect on quality of life, especially for those who enjoy walking, being active and outdoor activities.
Either you, or somebody you know has probably suffered from knee pain. This could be while playing/taking care of your children, at work, household chores, or even getting up in the morning. Back pain can seriously hinder your ability to function, and severely lower your quality of life.
Don't take your health for granted. Even if you have not yet experience knee pain, it's extremely important to strengthen your legs, core, and muscles you may not think about so often, and keep your body ready for whatever life throws at you.
We have prepared a complete course to help you understand some of the most common causes of knee pain, as well as create a solid plain to deal with it. This course is not instead of going to visit a doctor, and we will talk about the situations that need an immediate doctors visit. However knee pain can be dealt with conservatively with the right knowledge in most cases, and this will prevent the pain from getting worse, and even improve it in most cases. There are a number of ways to treat initially, including physiotherapy, yoga, stretches. This should always be tried first before taking medication, or referring for operations. We always put medication as a last resort, and feel that properly strengthening your body to deal with the pain is far more effective in the long-term than using medication to quiet down the symptoms.
There are many situations where appropriate steps taken immediately can save lives, prevent future complications, prevent bad situations from getting worse, and make sure that the healing process starts effectively and immediately.
This course will include:
Explanations of common types of knee pain
Some tricks and tips to differentiate between different types of knee pain
Knowing about dangerous types of knee pain which need immediate medical attention
Many different stretches, exercises and yoga sequences that you can use to help alleviate your knee pain and strengthen main leg and core muscles
If you follow our recommendations, there is a very good chance you will be able to successfully deal with your knee pain in a way that ensures that it doesn't come back to you in the long-term. Don't believe anyone who promises to do magic, or promises quick fixes. There are no shortcuts when it comes to your body. Follow our plan, and within a few weeks you will be feeling amazing.
Knee pain should never be ignored or taken lightly, your body is trying to tell you that it needs strengthening in a specific way.
Knee pain can be successfully dealt with, if you have the proper plan, motivation and knowledge. That's what we're here to give you.
Who this course is for:
- Anybody who has suffered in the past, or currently suffers from knee pain
- Anyone who wants to prevent knee pain in the future

Hi, my name is Dr. Jeff Petroff, and I'm the founder and CEO of MedScreen We are a medical information platform, focused on preventative medicine, skeptical medicine as well as lifestyle health.
MedScreen is an organization with people from a number of fields including conventional medicine, emergency medicine, sports medicine, and alternative/holistic medicine. We work with a diverse technical team as well to develop courses that are easy to watch, understand and implement.
As I worked my way through medical school, I realized the incredible gap in knowledge and implementation with respect to preventative medicine, as well as the lack of diversity in treatments. Doctors often prescribe pills that smother symptoms, while not looking at the source of the disease. Alternative medicine can often be deceiving and not evidence based, however this is not true for the entire field. There had to be an approach that took a multifactorial approach to healing and health, while remaining evidence based, and this is what I set out to write/teach about.
I am extremely passionate about informing people, and arming them with the necessary tools and skills that they need to make informed and evidence based decisions about their health. While I was a student in medical school I founded my company MedScreen, which is a company dedicated to make relevant information understandable and accessible to as many people as possible. We have since developed into a diverse team with a number of contributors from different fields. Additional information about the company you can find through our website www.medscreen.blog. Through this initiative I have decided create courses on first aid, the health of sleep, and pregnancy, in order to spread the values of prevention and initial treatment to the wider population.
