About

KneeFix

KneeFix turns published strength and mobility progressions into a calm daily practice — matched to the kind of knee training you are after. ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS, GET YOUR ROUTINE Tell KneeFix where your knee bothers you — or, if a clinician has already named your condition, pick it from a list — and how long it has been going on. You'll get one of five routines, sized from 4 to 12 weeks. FIVE ROUTINES, EVERY SOURCE LISTED - Kneecap Relief — hip and quad strengthening for the area around or under the kneecap - Tendon Recovery — a staged build below the kneecap: isometric holds, then slow heavy strength, then a return to springy movement - Outer Knee Reset — hip-first strengthening that works the hip rather than the band itself - Ease & Restore — gentle range of motion and steady strength for stiff, achy knees - Knee Strong — ability-first training to build resilient healthy knees Every routine is modeled on published clinical practice guidelines and peer-reviewed research, and the full reference list — with a link to each publication — is built into the app under Settings > Sources & References, and beside every exercise. A CALM DAILY PRACTICE Each day is a short, guided session: warmup, strength work, and a cool down. Every exercise comes with clear setup, movement, and form-tip instructions. Hold timers run each set for you — timing both sides of a stretch with a switch interval — and buzz when time is up. Finish a set, and it's saved, even if you leave and come back. IT BENDS WITH YOUR LIFE Miss a day? Your plan simply shifts forward — nothing is skipped. Exercises feel too easy or too hard? Adjust each one's difficulty and the whole plan adapts. STAY WITH IT A gentle daily reminder, a session streak, and a monthly progress calendar keep the habit alive — because consistency is what makes it stick. When your program ends, KneeFix rolls into three short maintenance sessions a week so the strength you built stays with you. KneeFix is a general exercise and wellness app, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. Talk to a clinician before starting, especially if your pain began with an injury, your knee is swelling, locking, or giving way, or your symptoms are getting worse.
