You’ve been told it’s “just arthritis,” to take painkillers, maybe wait for surgery. Meanwhile stairs are your enemy, sitting stiffens everything, and you’re scared your knee will “give out.”
We don’t just treat the sore spot.
We assess your hip, ankle, and overall mechanics so your knee isn’t taking a beating alone.
We combine advanced tech + targeted strength.
Focused shockwave (ESWT), EMTT and hands-on care to calm pain, then progressive glute and quad work to keep it away.
We support you long term.
Our “AI robot trainer” guides your home exercises so you don’t slide back the moment physio ends.
60-minute one-on-one assessment + treatment plan.
No pressure, no contracts.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
45+ and active (or want to be)
Pain climbing stairs, getting out of chairs, walking longer distances
“Stiff after sitting” that loosens up but never really goes away
Tried physio, maybe injections or a knee replacement, with partial or short-term relief
You want non-surgical options before committing to another procedure
The Real Problem
Explore 4 slides on Knee Osteoarthritis
Most people have several of these happening at once. That’s why we assess the whole chain, from hip to ankle, not just the painful spot.
OUR APPROACH
INITIAL VISIT
Detailed history, movement and strength testing for hip, knee, ankle, and spine
Identify which drivers matter for your pain: strength deficits, mobility blocks, alignment, inflammation, loading patterns
Clear, written plan: what we’ll do in-clinic and what you’ll do at home
First 3 to 8 Weeks
Focused ESWT shockwave to calm stubborn knee pain and improve function
EMTT to support tissue healing and load tolerance
Targeted manual therapy and chiropractic-style work to correct compensation patterns
Make walking, stairs, and exercise tolerable, fast.
6+ Weeks and Beyond
Progressive glute, quad, and core strengthening to offload the knee
Ankle mobility and gait retraining so forces travel correctly through the leg
Ongoing digital coaching and robot-guided exercises so you keep your gains instead of sliding back
What To Expect
Every case is different, but research and our clinical experience consistently show:
Noticeable pain and function improvements within 4 to 8 weeks of a structured program.
Better confidence on stairs, longer walks, easier sit-to-stand. Patients report returning to activities they’d been avoiding.
For many patients, delayed or avoided surgery. Or better outcomes after surgery on the other side.
Our promise: we will tell you honestly at the assessment if we don’t believe you’re a good candidate for this approach.
EVIDENCE
Exercise programs improve pain and function compared to usual care, confirmed by a 2024 Cochrane review of 139 randomized trials.
Hip strengthening specifically reduces knee OA pain and improves function, supporting the whole-body approach.
Shockwave therapy has been shown to reduce pain and improve walking distance in knee OA across multiple trials.
EMTT improved pain and physical function versus placebo in a double-blind randomized trial, with benefits persisting at 12 weeks.
App-delivered exercise programs can improve pain and physical performance in knee OA within 6 weeks.
Outcomes are group averages from clinical trials; individual results vary.

Stop guessing, stop collecting random treatments, and get a plan that treats the system, not just the joint.
Initial Knee Osteoarthritis Assessment — Edmonton
60-minute one-on-one session. Here’s what’s included:
Full-body movement and strength assessment (hip, knee, ankle, spine)
Identify which pain drivers matter for your case
Review of history and imaging if available
Clear written plan with transparent pricing before you commit
No referral needed. No obligation to continue beyond the first visit.
No pressure, no contracts.
We will tell you honestly at the assessment if we don't believe you're a good candidate for this approach. If your condition needs something different, we'll refer you directly.
