Each year advancements are made in every medical field imaginable making improvements in speed, efficiency and cost. Who better to revolutionize the knee recovery process than a group of physical therapists?
With over 60 years of collective experience in physical therapy, the creators of GoKnee have expertise in areas of both sports medicine and geriatric care. Although patient-goals vary greatly for these two demographics one thing remains consistent, the desire to recover quickly. Whether a patient is planning to have a procedure, like ACL or knee replacement, or suffer from chronic knee pain and stiffness, they all share common fears and dreams.
As physical therapists, the creators of GoKnee saw a need that had not been met in their industry. Knee recovery was slow and painful. The quality of guidance and equipment a physical therapist provided during a therapy session were not accessible for the patient to continue at home. Other home exercise devices only focused on one component of recovery.
After one patient realized he was not progressing as he expected, despite the frustration, sacrifice and effort he had put into his knee replacement recovery, he was devastated to learn he would likely need a second procedure. He begged for an alternative! From that request the creative wheels began to turn and GoKnee was born.
