Knee Rehab with the KneeHab XP

I first got the Kneehab XP 3 years ago. It was not a cure for my knee problems, but it brought some of my muscles back to life.

This is a video about how to prep the body for electrical stimulation and my experience with a round of therapy on the KneeHab XP. The video will explain…..

Post Surgical Back Pain to Mission Trip

I first met this amazing lady named Sylvia 3+ years ago. When we first started working together, she was quickly losing her ability to walk because of back pain (post surgical back pain). She could barely walk to her mailbox and was getting used to the idea of using a walker and wheelchair.

A few months after she started training with me her pain greatly decreased and she got her ability to walk back. Sylvia was so happy to stand on her own two feet again! She turned into a long term client and continues to progress in her fitness despite some setbacks and challenges.

She is now fit enough to pursue one of her dreams. Sylvia went on an international mission trip.

I received this email when she was out of the country:

“We are back from building our first house! I want you to know I kept up with everyone! I’ll have pictures when everyone shares their photos. We carried all the tools hat we needed to build the house: two ladders, three drills, chain saw, skill saw, hammers, shovel, three post hole diggers, hammers, nails, etc. The tin and wood were already on site. The hill was a “road” with LOTS of deep ruts, very slippery, it had poured the night before, 200-300 yards long, VERY steep. The guys said it was probably longer that two football fields. I carried a hoe/pick about 6 foot long, which helped me from slipping. It must have weight 10-20 pounds. This was going down. I didn’t carry anything but my back pack climbing back up, It was harder to breathe coming back up, then I learned we were 7,000 ft about sea level! But I kept up with everyone pretty good. I recovered quickly anyway!
I would never had made it without your exercises! Thank you for that!
The first day it poured going to the mission house about 1:30 drive. And like normal, in a third world country, when it really storms the power goes out, so we could not shower, flush toilets, no WiFi, etc. But it came on about 2:30 in the morning. WiFi came on a little later. Supper is ready for us now, we have WiFi here at the mission house.

Hi to everyone!”

Fitness is freedom. It is hard to live one’s life purpose without strength, health, and energy!

Rehab Stories: Stem Cell Injection Fail

Picture is from 2014 with and old camera…...you know the non cell phone kind.

The following post is from my original blog that has been deleted for years. The following entry takes place about 8 months after my second series of injections.

After two series of injections, totaling 4 platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections with fat derived stem cells and 2 bone marrow stem cell injections what do I have to show for it?

I am loosing my ability to walk.

I can only walk about a quarter mile. Despite receiving (and paying $$$$ for) cell injections and using good rehab principles, I continue to lose my ability to walk and do basic functional movement. Yikes.

Here is a summery of my experience with cell injections:

-I received all my injections from the same doctor through ultra sound guidance.

-Every injection made my knee feel better and gave me more function. I effect of both series of shots wore off after 6-8 months.

-Despite having great rehab after my second series of injections I did NOT get better results.

(Update: I can now say that after having a big knee surgery, these injections did not grow or produce any new tissue or cartilage…none, zero, zip). .

Being at a loss I have decided to consult with Dr. Scott Gillogly who is one of the top if not the top cartilage researcher and surgeon in the world. It just so happens that he has a private practice in Atlanta, GA.

Here is an updated video of part of the procedure (and an explanation) of the surgery that I am going to inquire about:

Autologous Chondrocyte implantaion:

Here is a good overview video:

If I could go back in time, I would not get the ultra sound guided cell therapy shots. They ended up being very expensive anti-inflammatory shots.

My next blog will be about my Autologous Chondrocyte implantaion.
