The knee blueprint program is specifically designed for those who are dealing with chronic knee pain but still want to lift heavy in the gym or run long distances. It is also for those needing to strengthen their knees due to the demands of their exercise regimen or job. 

This 8-week program has three core principles: mobility, muscle priming, and full range of motion strengthening. Each week builds from the previous week utilizing evidence-based approaches such as autoregulation and progressive overload with unique daily workouts. The program addresses not just the knees but all surrounding musculature.
