Benefits That Will Last A Lifetime

“BKL focuses on nourishing and strengthening knee cartilage to help assure that I will be able to maintain an active lifestyle for my entire lifespan.

I am pleased to see improvement in knee function following a training-related injury, but I am now realizing that the BKL program will have benefits that will last a lifetime as I follow this well-defined program.”

A "joint first" approach

Conventional exercise routines for people with knee pain focus on strengthening the thigh muscles - quadriceps. And while this is a good thing to do, it doesn't address the underlying problem - a weak joint surface.


Better Knees for Life shows you how to strengthen your knee from the inside-out AND how to strengthen not just your thigh muscles but your hips, trunk, and legs too.

Simple, easy to follow exercises

Knowing what to do and how to do it is key. We walk you through the WHY, WHAT and HOW of each exercise using video tutorials and you can also perform the routines following along with Laurie Kertz Kelly.


Feel and see progress

In Better Knees for Life, you'll learn how to create benchmarks so you can see your progress over time.


The benchmarks also serve as motivation to help you keep working on the program, striving toward end goal.


Excellent Communication

“I like the excellent communication we have with Laurie and also her Q&A zoom meetings. I find it encouraging that BKL is a low-pressure and non-competitive program with the sole interest of providing trustworthy advice and measures that improve knee health.

Much of what I have learned is of value for keeping my knees going for the rest of my life.

Feel Much Stronger Now

This is what I like so far about BKL: 1) my knee does not bend backwards anymore, 2) if I accidentally make a lateral move on my knee when I’m doing laundry, it no longer causes instant pain or feels so wobbly — it feels much stronger now, and 3) I no longer try to keep from going up or down the stairs only twice a day, once when awakening and again at night bed before going to bed. It’s hard to believe that such mild exercises are having this much of an effect. This helps keep my competitive nature in check and keeps me from trying to out macho my knee thinking I should be able to work through it and that it will get stronger faster if I work it hard.”

Focuses on Knee Health


“Following an April 2019 injury, I did physical therapy two or three times a week for several months where the emphasis was on strength, agility and balance. My lower body strength was good at the time, yet I did not see improvements in my pain levels when climbing steps or getting out of a chair. 

Improving cartilage quality, resiliency and strength was never discussed during PT. In contrast, BKL exercises focus on cartilage health by bringing moisture and nutrients to knee cartilage to restore viability and function. 

Between the BKL pilot program and applying the Dr. Kelsey’s principle of “Passive Continuous Motion” in my daily life, I have seen a significant reduction in knee pain.
