Attention:
All hikers looking to ENJOY hiking with less knee pain and more confidence.
Does this sound like you?

-
Do you dream of making an epic trek but worry you can't keep up with the group because of your knee pain?
-
Are you frustrated with your achy knees and worry they will keep you from seeing that spectacular view from the top?
-
Does the thought of limiting your trails because you don't trust your knees - only to see all the amazing Instagram pictures from the summit make you feel old and discouraged?
Perhaps you have:
-
Tried to push through before and created more pain.
-
Slowed down and reduced hike distance but it’s not solving the core issue you have - joint pain.
-
Been discharged from physical therapy but still have pain when you hike?
-
Tried fitness programs or trainers that were too hard and created more problems than they solved?
-
Signed up for the Healthy Hiker's Guide to Healthy Knees and realized you need more accountability and team support!
Does this sound familiar?
What you need to know is - this can be better and you are not alone!!
What I’m about to tell you just might be the missing piece to improve your overall hiking journey…
After more than 30 years as a physical therapist and avid hiker - this is what I know for sure - no matter your hiking ability, if you experience knee pain when hiking, you’re lacking a fundamental element of strength, flexibility, and stability.
So whether you can hike two miles or 10 miles, you’ll need to start at the most basic level to lay a foundation of movement that can support your knees and enhance your hiking experience.
Starting at the beginning ensures nothing is missed and that you have the proper foundation for executing more complex movements like hiking, scrambling, and bouldering.

You might ask, “How can I hike all the time and still have weakness or instability?”
The body is amazing at being as efficient as possible and many of its structures can do more than one job. Thus, if one member of the team gets tired, another works to fill in. This is how people who have strokes or other disabilities can still walk and do other functional movement. Your brain doesn’t care how the job gets done, as long as you can do it. When one structure substitutes for another, it creates patterns of movement that can result in overuse, pain, and injury.
That’s why finding and remedying the foundational deficits in strength, flexibility, and stability is essential. When you combine that with support, accountability, and practice, you start to make your way to your summit!


With the Easing Knee Pain Group program, you will:
-
Feel safe moving your body again.
-
Gain an awareness of how your body responds to load and know how to make adjustments to your training accordingly.
-
Create a habit of daily movement and improve your overall fitness.
-
Increase the strength and flexibility in your lower body, and feel more stable on the trail.
'You’ll be able to hike further with less knee pain and trust your knees again.'

Alicia Filley {The Healthy Hiker}

Hi! I'm Alicia Filley, PT, MS
I love hiking and adventure. Setting big and fun hiking goals for myself and leading groups of people to a summit and what they experience on the journey to get there, absolutely lights me up!!
Unfortunately, what I started to see was that people who enjoy the outdoors and hiking ended up feeling miserable on the trail or had to quit because they didn't fully prepare their bodies or mind for what it can take, especially those with knee issues.
Does that mean you have to sit this out…or give up hiking all together?
Not on my watch!!
I knew that with my experience as an avid hiker and physical therapist, I could help hikers solve their knee pain and feel better on the trail. I understand the challenges, needs, and biomechanics of hikers and backpackers. While pathology plays a role, easing knee pain is based on the physics of movement and the biopsychosocial understanding of pain.
In the Easing Knee Pain Group Program, I use my knowledge of human performance and hiking experience and to create a knee pain protocol that addresses foundational strength, functional flexibility and core stability.
This program will get that nagging knee pain off your mind, so you can get the most out of your next trek.
Let’s get started!

Gain an awareness of how your body responds to load and know how to make adjustments to your training accordingly.
-
Create a habit of daily movement and improve your overall fitness.
