Tips and Tricks for Treatment of the Difficult Knee

Some knee patients just don’t follow the typical recovery path—and this webinar is designed to help you figure out why. Focused on treating the “difficult knee,” this live webinar offers clinical pearls, hands-on techniques, and insights to help you finally make progress with patients who haven’t responded to traditional approaches. A variety of diagnoses will be explored to help you identify the underlying reasons for treatment resistance and tailor your approach accordingly.

 

Participants will learn specific techniques such as joint mobilizations, myofascial release (MFR), and more, along with how to integrate the Fear-Avoidance Model of Musculoskeletal Pain into patient care. You’ll also gain strategies to explain pain in a way that builds trust and supports long-term functional gains. This webinar equips you with the tools, language, and techniques to get better outcomes—especially when the knee case gets tricky.
