Hiking used to be easy & stress-free, but now you worry about being left behind because:
  • Your knees hurt going downhill and by the end of your hike it's hard to keep the pace. 

  • You think your knee pain means there's something wrong so you're cautious and slow.

  • You had a previous injury and you're still having knee pain so you hang back to take it easy. 

  • Stepping carefully and gingerly to avoid pain or 'protect' your knees is slowing you down. 
  • Boulders, scree, or stair-step trails make you nervous so you hesitate and take longer.
And you've tried everything Dr. Google recommends like:
  • Physical therapy which helped, but you still have pain when you hike.

  • Knee braces, kinesio taping, foam rolling, patellar straps, copper sleeves, and IT band massages which take the edge off, but don't solve the problem.  

  • Fitness programs or trainers who were too hard and created more problems than they solved.

  • Ice, heat, balms, and so much Ibuprofen because the pain is still there! 

  • Even soaking your knees in the creek because despite all that your knees still hurt!

Reduce Knee Pain and
Boost Your Adventure!

When your knees don't hurt you can...

  • Hike longer and more challenging trails.

  • Hike more often and need less recovery time.

Meet Your Coach:

Hi! I'm Alicia Filley, PT, MS​​

​

I love hiking and adventure!

​

But I used to be just like you...

hobbling by the end of the trail, 

soaking my knees in the creek, 

and spending the rest of the day on the couch after a hike. 

​

Even as a physical therapist I bought into the lie that I had 'bad knees' and tried all the passive strategies to deal with the pain​

This Changed Everything for Me:​​

When I started applying the strategies I used with athletes, cleaned up my diet to decrease inflammation, and dove deep into pain science to understand my pain, my strength, flexibility, stability, and confidence improved - and the knee pain that had plagued me since I was a teen went away! 

 

Now, after more than 30 years as a physical therapist and avid hiker and helping thousands of people improve their function and reach their goals - 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, if you have knee pain, 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.

I hike all the time...how can I have weakness, tightness, or instability?

The body is amazing at being as efficient as possible!

​

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 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 can create patterns of movement that can result in overuse, pain, and injury.

This is why finding and remedying the foundational deficits in strength, flexibility, and stability is essential.

 

When you combine that with support, accountability, and community, you start to make your way to your personal summit! 

Do I need to join a gym?

No, while you can if you like, all exercises can be performed at home.  

What if I’m traveling?  

As long as you have internet and your cell phone, you can perform the program in any  environment and any country.
