Have you ever felt hopeless that you’d never escape the grip of knee pain?
Have you tried literally everything only to be disappointment with each failed “treatment”?
Well, that no longer has to be the case, my friend. Ever since I visited the reclusive Chinese Healing Doctor, I’ve managed to create an incredible routine that is wiping out thousands of people’s knee pain as quickly as swatting a fly…
If it’s one thing I’ve come to learn about knee pain: Those Old… Those Young…
No one is able to safely escape the “Knee Reaper” once he comes a-calling for your meniscus, bones, and other precious soft tissues. It’s inescapable. One bad left turn by some teen who’s driving while browsing on Facebook… a knee bang on the dashboard later...
One very special case in particular, that’s near and dear to my heart. Is a “young” fella by the name of Mike Barker. When Mike was the tender age of 19, he was primed for his once in a lifetime moment in the High School Championship Football game…
And then suddenly …. WHAM!!!!!
As he was dropping back to throw the game winning touchdown, a middle linebacker came SMASHING into his right knee….
Ending his night… Ending his career…
And ALMOST ending what used to be his LIFE…
That is until I met him personally and taught him the mystifying technique the Chinese Healing Doctor taught me.
Chiropractors,12-inch Needles, Pain Creams…
He literally tried everything and NOTHING worked. Until I presented him with The Red Onion exercise.
- Have you ever lost all hope when a doctor told you “Knee replacement surgery is your ONLY option”?
- Have you ever felt so ashamed after telling your spouse you can’t go for a walk, because your knee is, “acting up” ?
- Have you ever worried about the long term side effects from constantly taking dangerous pain meds?
-
Or how about the tremendous burden you would be to your adult kids someday after COMPLETELY losing your mobility and self-independence?
Now before you hang your head, please listen. The reason I’m asking you these seemingly rhetorical questions is I want this to be the very last time you EVER ask yourself those questions again, or even think about the hypothetical answers…
So right now I want you to grab those thoughts… Ball them up…
And toss them in the trash can. Because today is a new day. And after today, those thoughts are ancient history. Because quite frankly, you don’t deserve to live in this constantly consumed paranoia, pain, and fear. As Big Pharma sits back and counts a fat paycheck for every pain pill you pop. And I’ve made it my mission to guarantee you don’t have to.
Who was able to help me end Mike’s lifelong battle with knee pain in only 3 days…
Just a quick, simple 5 minute routine before you go to bed is designed to summon and stimulate your bodies’ NATURAL healing abilities. This is a bit of an exaggeration of course, but compare it to a superhero who quickly recharges once wounded.
These ancient, 1,000 year old secret ‘healing exercises’ helped me cure my very own 10 year battle with knee pain. Which is why I have made it my personal mission to pass this knowledge on to sufferers like YOU the world over.
- This secret ritual has nothing to do with the most common exercises found in physical therapy sessions. Those of which often damage the cartilage in your knee even further.
- Nor is it associated with those topical creams that simply numb the pain for just a few ‘false hope’ inducing minutes...
- Or the latest massage technique that feels good in the moment but does absolutely nothing to heal the joint at its core …
- And this most certainly has nothing to do with Over the Counter pain pills used to simply MASK your bodies’ natural alarm signals. Which is akin to you turning off your video security system at your home so you simply “pretend not to see” the robbers aren’t currently breaking in. AKA: your knee isn’t “currently” being ripped to shreds and quickly bracing itself for permanent damage…
No…. None of those inferior “treatments” my friend.
That highly decorated Ivy league researches from all over the world have found reverses degeneration. And even: “significantly increases cartilage volume in the knee”. Which the latest advancements in MRI technology has proven.
I will also teach you a simple and soothing bedtime technique called “knee cupping”. Which will make sure you get a full, restful sleep without the midnight awakenings from knee pain.
How exactly do I know this?
Well, just like my friend Mike, I too, have battled through knee pain for most of my adult life. However, my personal dilemma was a little different than Mike’s. Yes, I tore my meniscus too. But NOT after getting whacked by a middle linebacker running at full speed.
No. My injury was at least 100x more common…. maybe even 1000.
One day, as I was returning home from the health food store. I pull into my driveway, open the door, step out. And made a funny turn of my knee.
THAT’S IT!
No high impact tackle on the football field. No car crash. No slip and fall in the store. All I was doing was exiting my vehicle. Exiting my VEHICLE!!!
And one funny turn in my right knee changed my life forever.
And sorry to yell, but it’s just sometimes I get emotional just playing it back. Talking about it. Thinking about it. But my point to you is… Never feel regretful about your choices. It’s nothing you did, but simply a horrible stroke of luck.
And even though fitness was my passion from a very young age. I’m embarrassed to admit that I got sucked into believing one big, fat, lie.
I’d have no choice but to just live through the pain for the rest of my natural LIFE. You see Big Pharma has a way of keeping all the REAL solutions to body ailments and diseases to themselves. Because that way they can keep their cash flow in tact.
If they fix my knee with just a few 5 minute exercises, dozens and dozens of Big Wig CEO’s are suddenly going to be out of a job. Out of a job means no more lavish trips to Paris on their private jet’s, and no more popping $5,000 bottles of champagne on their Luxury Yachts…
And that’s one LIE that I’m going to end forever today. They’ve gotten away with it long enough.
Now, when it came to my own knee injury. Frankly, while some days were better than others.
I never quite knew when the pain would tighten it’s grip on me. It was totally random, which made it all the more frustrating and demoralizing.
If I could have had some type of signal, some type of warning …. ANYTHING. When the pain was ready to set in, then I could’ve dealt with it a little better. But there’s nothing worse than feeling amazing, bursting with energy. Ready to ride my bike on a beautiful fall day in Michigan…
And just like that… Out of nowhere…
“What kind of a man would I become if I couldn’t even walk without pain?”
“Would I be able to dance with my future bride on our wedding day?”
“How would I wrestle with my future son?” Would I have to tell him “No son, not today.”
Over the course of the next several years, I continued to fight through the pain and went on to pursue my passion in fitness. Despite my injury, my career excelled. And I found myself creating fitness programs that are used by college sports teams, professional athletes, and even the United States Military.
Yet buried deep beneath the surface was a “hidden rip”, aka the Meniscus tear, growing inside my knee that nearly destroyed me. Every squat I performed and every step I took extended the RIP, which made some days almost impossible to get through.
With that said, in my lifetime, I have always been a warrior…
So I figured I would just fight through it, because spending $50,000 on a knee replacement surgery that ”MIGHT” work was just out of the question …
From heating pads, to Cold Compression Therapy, to topical creams to Over the Counter pills, acupuncture. I even tried pulling a complete 180 on my diet and removing any and all inflammatory foods.
I tried them ALL, but in the end, nothing ever did seem to work.
And I’m not afraid to admit: after everything I tried, I eventually felt hopeless.
Pouring an ENDLESS amount of money into treatments, techniques and pointless Doctor’s visits.
But at the end of the day, I was just unable to get the Knee Reaper to relinquish the death grip he had on me, and to leave me the heck alone.
Now something important you should know. All of these treatments I just mentioned to you...
All of the ones you see advertised on TV over and over and over that don’t work; isn’t some type of WILD coincidence. Like I touched on a little bit earlier: Big Pharma controls almost every facet of the medical industry.
They advertise a bogus treatment, collect people’s money, and then come up with their new scam a year or some months later. It’s basically like one huge Ponzi scheme. And if this was some type of sick card game, Big Pharma’s “Ace of Spades” …. Or, “Main Attraction”. Is once ALL of the frivolous techniques they push fail...
This is the point where they pull out their Trump Card, and try to get you under the knife to cough up that final $50,000... “Mission Completed”.
Sad, sad world we live in. But it’s simply reality.
Not to mention the countless months of expensive and time-consuming rehab. Even worse, the pain cycle leaves you at risk of Opioid Addiction. An addiction that kills 72,000 Americans every single year.
The bottom line is: It’s a cut-throat industry. With over 600,000 Americans getting knee replacement surgeries every year and about $3 billion DOLLARS at stake….
So despite the constant pain. I made the choice to simply carry on with my day to day life being happy and positive, the best way I knew how….
Yes, the pain was still there. But I would now proceed to live with no more drama, and no more stress.
Or so I thought ….
Fast forward a couple of months, and after making a commitment to myself not to sit around and sulk. I decided to head to the gym for an easy game of pick-up basketball with some friends. And ever since that incident concerning the bike, over my dead body was I going to let anyone or anything...
Stand in the way of my love for a healthy, active lifestyle EVER again…
So as I stepped on the court, having some light hearted competition with friends. Not playing too hard or running.
And then, after about 10 minutes of us enjoying ourselves on the court, is the moment it finally happened...
As I took a few dribbles, jogged past my friend, and went up for a layup off the glass …
I jumped and yelled out “Jorrddaannnnn!”...
And then when I landed… POW!!!!
After years of wear and tear after I stepped out of my car with a funny twist…
Everything after that, just happened in slow motion… A BLUR ….
I fall to the ground in pure agony, clutching my knee, SCREAMING at the top of my lungs...
Immediately, my friend runs over yelling “Todd!!! … Todd!!! … “Are you ok?! Yes, I had just torn my knee in half….
But at THAT MOMENT, the only thing racing through my head, was the misery of living with knee pain for the rest of my life.
And that moment right there, that small capsule of time… Is when I finally said enough is enough. And became DETERMINED to figure out a way to get rid of this meniscus tear and knee pain….
If it was LITERALLY the LAST THING I DO. I was now ready to become the first man to DEFEAT the Knee Reaper …
When I was laying at home confined to my bed, trying to think of every possible avenue to get my knee repaired. I remembered one of my close associates, Tim; I wouldn’t go as far to call him a friend …
But Tim, a certified brown belt, used to have Martial Arts related injuries all the time…
And he’d tell me about how he was always able to bounce right back and fight another match...
Because of a Chinese Healing Doctor who always showed him the proper, ultra-secret techniques to use….
I really didn’t want to bother Tim, but being desperate, I reached out to him and got the Healing Doctor’s telephone number. He was the owner of a popular therapy clinic, an Academy of Healing Arts and Sciences in my hometown in Michigan.
This Healing Doctor was RENOWNED for helping desperate people find relief from pain and other debilitating, lifelong health conditions.
And after just a few weeks with this man. He made me rethink everything I thought I knew about the human body. And gave me clarity on why the hidden rip in my knee finally tore my leg apart ….
This great man, we now simply refer to as “The Doc”...
The Doc treated patients in an unassuming studio in an old cathedral in my hometown of Michigan. And as I walked into that room for the very first time, it was packed to the BRIM with patients.
Amazing stories floated in the air about how The Doc had reversed MANY of their most common illnesses…
The Doc was a rare blend of eastern and western medicine. He studied for over 40 years from renowned Naturopathic medicine schools in Chicago and New York…
And also apprenticed with great Chinese Healing Masters...
And now, by a divine-oriented appointment, I found myself staring eye-to-eye with this modern day “healer”.
I hung in awe at the profound knowledge this man imparted upon me.
Now, movement is normally very good for any joint in your body...
However, just like a weak rubber band, if you stretch the rubber band you increase the chances it will tear even further. So if you move an unhealthy joint while under pressure, even if it’s your own body weight, you cause greater strain and ultimately prevent healing… There are many therapists that recommend squats, lunges and a knee extension machine as a way to rehab the knee.
But unfortunately, these are the very last exercises you’d ever want to do... These are the same exercises I performed to try to “strengthen and rehab” my knee, when all I was doing was ripping my ‘Rubber Band’ more, and more. Many of my clients are confused by this new information and claim, “Some of the exercises I’m doing now seem to help”… Well here is the thing…
While it may temporarily make you feel good today, it’s sure to whack you with 10x the pain tomorrow. And again, please just remember the rubber band analogy... Before putting a weak rubber band under tension, you must repair the damaged parts or it will cause more damage and possibly tear. The standard recommended exercises are outdated and risky and recent scientific literature now shows they can cause MORE damage and MORE pain to your knee.
Now, I understand this may seem odd because I just recommended not exercising the knee using traditional exercises…
However, there are a particular type of “healing exercises” that are “SAFE”... And that you MUST do to cure knee pain that you can do easily, even while just casually sitting in your bed tonight.
Now, I’ll give you more details on those in just a second…
But, the reason rest can become so harmful to your knee is because of a little known concept called “Muscular Atrophy”. You’ve likely heard of the wise saying, “If you don’t use it, you lose it”.
Well, Muscular Atrophy occurs when your muscles aren’t stimulated so they simply get weaker and weaker by the minute …
Eventually, when you DO place weight on your legs, the muscles are so weak that you’ve lost stability and strength around your knees… Which could now lead to serious joint inflammation and injury. So the LAST thing you want to do is completely rest your knees and “wait” for healing to occur. And finally, #3…
This is the exact same trap I fell into that inevitably tore my knee in half on the basketball court.
I, like most people, didn’t know the solution so I just went on with my life and tried my best to ignore the pain…
For me though, and for millions of others, wear and tear continues and the rip continues to grow LARGER and the pain never leaves….
In the end, yes, the body CAN heal itself but you must support the healing and TRAIN your body on how to self-heal, by doing the right things.
One independent and very large study published by the National Institute of Health revealed...
That one simple form of isometric exercise, done while seated, reduces knee pain by up to 58%!
Another shocking study found in The Arthritis and Rheumatology Scientific Journal showed. That this same type of exercise can actually increase articular cartilage inside the knee. This is so significant because for YEARS. All I have ever heard from the best doctors and specialists is that once you lose cartilage in your knee, you NEVER get it back... EVER…
This is what they repeatedly stressed to me and told me over and over. Yet, why were these new critical findings that I discovered buried?
COMPLETELY HIDDEN from the public? Simply put, like I told you before, the corporate medical Mafia, A.K.A Big Pharma, FEEDS off of pain that never leaves you. Your pain goes away, their fringe benefits goes away. It’s as simple as that.
But luckily for me, you, US, and ALL knee pain sufferers, the world over. The Chinese Healing Doctor, My mentor, A.K.A The Doc. Took his medical roots in Eastern medicine in Asia, so he doesn’t live by the same nefarious rules of our Greedy Medical Industry’s Corporate structure.
And was MORE THAN HAPPY to reveal the secrets to me that have been covered up here for ages. And with this new found knowledge.
I found it my responsibility to look out for NOT ONLY my own health.
But for the millions and millions suffering just like me. And under guise of that mission, that DUTY.
I now present to you the system I created that will end your Knee Pain forever...
Feel Good Knees is the most powerful series of Sequential Isometric exercises known to man to quickly, fully eliminate knee pain.
These unique collection of healing exercises prevents additional damage to the knee. And even reverses the effects of decades of Repetitive Strain.
This system has the power to transform a damaged, painful, sore knee into a happy, knee that feels good! I sometimes refer to this system as a Knee Pain “Cheat Sheet”.
As I’ve literally done all the work for you. If this was High School, imagine I studied all night, I read text books all weekend to Ace the test. And you were hanging out with friends, and now get to “Cheat” off my paper and still get an A+.
Basically, you get done in 5 seconds what took me 5 YEARS to accomplishment.
I wanted to make this system as easy, effortless and as least time consuming as humanly feasible.And now, here are just a FEW of the features and lessons you will find in the Powerful Feel Good Knee System...

With all that being said, I do understand that every financial decision you make should be a wise one. So I’m going to make this one a no brainer that you don’t even need to think twice about.
If for any reason, and that’s any reason at all…

Literally. Simply follow the instructions in the Feel Good Knee videos, and if you aren’t satisfied after 60 days, email me for a refund. That’s 2 FULL MONTHS to try it out. Amazon, with their $150 Billion Dollar CEO, only offers a 30 day guarantee. I don’t have anywhere near a 10/th of his money. But I’m willing to DOUBLE his guarantee…
And I’m giving this extensive guarantee, because I literally guarantee you results. So you literally have absolutely nothing to worry about. I put my money where my mouth is so you can get rid of your knee pain worry free.

And if you’re thinking, right now, it’s too late for you, or you’ve had your pain for so long. Just remember my buddy Mike Barker. This is why he is still near and dear to my heart, and why I OPENED this video presentation with his story.
At the young age of 19, tore his meniscus in the High School Championship Game. But I helped him find new relief and freedom in life, at the tender age of 79 years old.
That’s 60 years later. But again, as the saying goes.
Better late than never. And, the greatest thing about this is that Mike’s transformation wasn’t unique. I soon executed the Feel Good Knees system on ANYONE who came to me with knee pain…
Clarence J. from Clearwater, Fl
I have been following your Feel Good Knees program for one week and already seeing a huge reduction in pain in my knees. Wow! It’s so simple and feels so good after doing it.
Thank you so much for creating this program. I am so excited because yesterday I took a walk in my favorite park next to my house and my knees didn’t give me any pain… like they normally do!
Sofía M. of Santa Ana, CA
I am currently on vacation on a private island and have incorporated your exercises into my daily routine. They fit so well into any environment which is a great feature! But the best part is that I can tell my knees are improving daily!
Less and less pain which I haven’t felt for years. I especially like your rejuvenation techniques as my knees feel instant pain relief! Wow. So impressed with this Feel Good Knees program.
Charles R. from Fairfax, VA
I am a 68 year old man and I recently purchased your program to help me gain strength after recovering from several years of health issues. Living with pain in my knees was just normal to me. I found your course and am so happy with the results.
The exercises were easy to follow and didn’t hurt while I was doing them. Because of your program, not only are my knees feeling better than they have felt in 30 years but I am much more solid and stable on my feet. And I don't feel any pain going up and down stairs anymore.
Jenette S. from Lamar, CO
For most of my life I have felt stiff and have had to manage my pain using medications. I knew the long term effects they were doing to my body but have always had pain in my knees. I am always a bit concerned about trying anything new because I don’t want to hurt my knees more.
But I started following your program and finding that I have much more strength in my knees and feeling really good! For the first time in years, I’m even planning to get rid of my pain meds!
And there are many, many more students who’s knee problems were completely reversed after following my simple Feel Good Knees system...
You know, I’m naturally, normally a very calm, easy going individual. But the mere thought of the Big Pharma CEO’s, cruising around on their luxury yachts and taking $500,000 vacations. While at the same time recklessly allowing their personal greed to ruin these good people’s spirits, still sickens me to this very day.
This very minute. This Very Second. It’s a sad, sad thing that another human being could have that utter lack of empathy. But it’s simply the TRUTH.
So what I’m doing today, is giving me, you, US, a chance to fight back.
Fight back and take back control of our knees, of our health, of our LIVES.
Before we need help walking to the bathroom before age 60. Which is something I just cannot sit back and allow to happen.
- A knee that you can bike, run, and jump on…
- A knee that can handle any obstacle life throws at it with ease and comfort, no matter what your age or fitness level...
- You’ll be able to hang out with your kids and grandkids again…
- Without the embarrassment and pressure that you just “can’t keep up anymore”...
- When getting things done around the house, you no longer have to worry about your Doctor warning you not to “Over do it”…
- You will soon regain full flexibility and range of motion back in your knee…
- Which will feel like you literally took 10, 20, 30 years off of your knee’s lifespan…
- And so many other amazing benefits that will transform your entire life as you know it…
