Are you one of the millions of people who are searching for relief for knee pain?
Who would have known that when I posted the Knee Cap Dance exercise video on YouTube two years ago that so many people around the world would be seeking help for knee pain!
I’ve appreciated the comments and questions that have been sent to me since this video posted. I think it’s important that EVERYONE has the opportunity to live a healthy and happy life, and dealing with knee pain is no fun.
I recently received a question from a viewer of my YouTube video – Knee Exercises to Strengthen Muscles Around the Patella to Avoid Knee Pain.
He writes,
“Two years ago my right leg knee cap got a minor fracture and the doctor operated & applied plaster. I took nearly 6 months of bed rest. After it healed, the doctor told me to do some exercises but did not insist that I go to physiotherapy. Now my knee cap area is having pain & during cold days it hurts a lot! I saw your video on YouTube regarding knee cap it was really nice. Please can you help me get rid of this knee cap pain?

Do you remember when you were a child how much time you lived and played with your imagination? Tapping into your creative powers to create fun games to play with friends, paint and draw pictures, make up fairytale stories, and all sorts of amazing things! Then…somewhere along the way, some big person squelched the juice out of our imagination and scolded us for using our creative powers.
Whether we were told to stop talking to our imaginary friends, paint the blue-bird BLUE instead of purple, or follow the rules instead of making up new ones. Something, or somebody stepped in and suggested that using our creativity wasn’t such a great idea. How sad…
Well, I’m here to give you permission to play! The best thing you can do to improve your health is to unleash the creative genius that’s sleeping inside of you. Taking positive steps to improve your physical health has to start with a few positive changes with your mental outlook. And what better way to give your brain a boost, but to turn on your creative juices and play!
