Living with chronic knee pain can be overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and socially. Brian knows this all too well. After decades of construction work, martial arts, and an active lifestyle, his knees were worn down. Post-surgical complications and meniscus tears left him with limited mobility and constant discomfort. Even simple things, like kneeling or enjoying intimacy with his wife, became painful challenges.
That all changed the day we fitted him with the Guardian Knee Brace.
From the time we adjusted the fit his knee started to feel better. First we looked at making sure the brace was positioned correctly on the leg. Then we properly fitted the straps on the leg which ensures the brace won’t slip down the leg throughout the day. Next we made sure the proper tension/extension bands were put on the brace. Last and most importantly we tested and retested the proper inflation of the air bladders on either side of the knee to off load the joint and stabilize the knee.
At each step of the fitting process the knee brace felt better on the knee and stabilized the joint further providing the proper support for the knee. Near the end of the fitting process, he began walking around, Brian’s eyes filled with tears. For the first time in years, he felt grounded. The knee brace gave him the support he desperately needed—without pain. This wasn’t just a moment of relief; it was a breakthrough.
We’re now using the brace as a short-term tool to stabilize his knee while engaging in deeper, long-term healing strategies. Through a combination of in person Osteopathic body work (offered locally in Western North Carolina), and rehabilitation exercises w/ remote coaching, we’re working to release trauma, correct imbalances, and restore natural movement.
