Being a Victim To Your Knee Pain is NOT an option!
Being a victim of your knee pain is no longer an option. Feeling like you’ve made the wrong decision or made a mistake, no longer exists.
Your “destination” to one day be completely out of knee pain transforms into a journey. At each point of that journey, you’re collecting more information to make better more informed decisions to improve your knee health.
You…
stop beating yourself up for being “bad” or “wrong” and realize these are “old” stories you learned growing up from family and friends that just didn’t know any better.
see those outdated stories as no longer serving your journey to be completely pain-free.
may even come to realize you’re using your knee pain to “hook” others into feeling sorry for you to get attention or gain significance in others’ lives.
realize along the way even though you still may have knee pain the quality of the pain is different and changes throughout the day.
become aware that when the knee hurts you’re actually way more active than you were a few weeks or months ago.
begin to discover your intrinsic value as a human being lies on the other side of all the victimization, hurt and false reality you’ve been living for years.
Next, we are going to look at using the experiences you’ve gone through with your knee to propel you to a new life!
From Knee Pain Victim to Knee Pain Hero

I gained many insights into the connections my knee had with the unconscious beliefs I held at the time of my knee injury after reading Louise Hay’s book, “You Can Heal Your Life.”
For instance, these professionals will help you uncover clues like a detective along the way and fit your knee into a “bigger picture” of your life making sense of why your knee continues to hurt.
The knee pain is there to point you in a different direction because it brings awareness as to why the knee was injured in the first place. This is an amazing gift that’s being offered to you that many chronic knee pain sufferers miss along the way.
They are too attached to a reality of their life that has now passed. They feel child-like clingings to return to a reality that no longer works for their physical body.
Medical Sovereignty as Related to Knee Pain
My experience of 4 knee dislocations between December of 1998 and May of 1999 transformed my life in ways that are still unfolding to this day.

Running
Biking
Working

My job
Relationships
Friendships
Where I lived
My career
My interests

Through the weeks, months and years of injury and compensation patterns built up in your body limiting your movement and making you feel older than you are.”
