With a holistic, results-driven approach, our Functional Exercise, Movement & Knee Optimization program is designed to reverse knee pain, improve mobility, and optimize overall health, well-being and performance—without relying on temporary fixes. Our goal is to strengthen the muscles around the knee, hip and ankle joints, improve movement mechanics, and eliminate compensatory patterns that contribute to pain and dysfunction.
Whether you’re looking to prevent future knee pain, recover from an injury, or enhance knee longevity, our integrated approach will help you move pain-free and get back to doing what you love.
Many traditional rehab programs focus on managing pain and symptoms without addressing underlying dysfunction. Our approach is different because everything we do is revolved around improving knee ability and optimizing knee function. We also believe in using all the muscles in the body to help support overall health and well-being. Our Functional Exercise/Movement and Knee Optimization program:
✔ Focuses on Function, Not Just Pain Relief – Instead of just masking pain, we work on correcting movement patterns and strengthening muscles to improve overall knee function and longevity.
✔ Uses an Integrated, Multi-Disciplinary Approach – Our fusion of functional exercise, mobility work, and specialized knee rehab techniques makes our program uniquely effective for knee recovery, injury prevention, and performance enhancement.
✔ Promotes Long-Term Knee Health – Instead of offering a short-term fix, our program ensures lasting improvements in knee strength, flexibility, stability, and performance.
✔ Holistic & Integrated Approach – Treating the Ankle, Knee, and Hip as One System – Instead of isolating the knee, this program takes a full-body approach, addressing ankle mobility, knee stability, and hip strength to eliminate muscle guarding, compensation patterns, and movement dysfunctions.
Strengthening these key areas restores proper joint alignment, reduces unnecessary stress on the knee, and enhances overall movement mechanics.
At The Knee Expert, Dilshad Alvi uses a variety of safe, effective, and results-driven techniques to promote optimal knee function from the comfort of your own home. This includes:
✔ Traditional Knee Rehab Exercises – Targeted movements to restore strength and mobility.
✔ Yoga & Pilates for Knee Stability & Flexibility – Enhancing joint mobility and balance.
✔ Calisthenics & Bodyweight Exercises – Strengthening supporting muscles without excessive joint stress.
✔ Resistance Band Training – A low-impact method to build knee strength and stability.
✔ Qigong & Tai Chi for Joint Health – Gentle movements that improve balance and neuromuscular coordination.
✔ Functional Movement Training – Addressing everyday movements and incorporating them into our exercise programs helps to improve biomechanics of daily activities and prevents potential future muscular strains, pain, and injuries from occurring.
✔ Fitness Equipment – For individuals who have access to fitness equipment, our programs can also be tailored to meet their specific needs.

1. What is Functional Exercise, Movement & Knee Optimization?
Functional Exercise, Movement & Knee Optimization is a structured, science-backed approach to restoring knee function, improving mobility, and reducing pain through targeted movement and strengthening techniques. It focuses on correcting imbalances, rebuilding joint stability, and optimizing knee performance to help you return to daily activities pain-free.
2. How is this different from traditional physiotherapy or personal training?
Unlike traditional physiotherapy, which often focuses on managing pain and isolated muscle rehab, my approach looks at the bigger picture—how your entire body moves and functions. It’s also different from personal training because it’s not about general fitness; it’s about targeted knee optimization methods that strengthens weak links, improves joint mechanics, and prevents re-injury.
3. Who is this program best suited for?
This program is ideal for individuals experiencing chronic knee pain, knee osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries, post-surgery recovery, and those looking to maintain long-term knee health. If you struggle with knee pain that affects daily life, sports, prayer, or other activities, this program can help.
4. Can this help if I have knee osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, or ligament injuries?
Yes! My approach focuses on reducing pain, improving joint stability, and restoring mobility regardless of your diagnosis. Many clients with osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, etc.), or general wear and tear have seen significant improvements without relying on painkillers, injections, or surgery.
5. What results can I expect, and how long will it take?
Results vary based on your condition, consistency, and lifestyle. Many clients start feeling improvements in as little as 2-4 weeks, while full knee rehabilitation and optimization may take 3-6 months or longer. The key is being consistent, mindful, and intentional with your rehab.
6. Do I need to have a certain level of fitness to start?
No. This program is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re completely sedentary due to pain or an athlete recovering from an injury, I customize the approach to match your abilities and gradually progress you toward stronger, pain-free knees.
7. What happens during a session?
Each session includes a combination of:
Sessions are fully personalized to your needs and progress over time.
8. How often should I do these exercises for the best results?
Typically, I recommend 3-5 sessions per week, depending on your condition and goals. Some clients require daily movement drills, while others benefit from a more structured knee optimization plan with rest days in between.
9. Will I need any special equipment?
No. Most exercises use body weight, resistance bands, and simple household items. If needed, I may recommend small rehab tools (e.g., foam rollers, stability balls, or resistance bands), but no gym membership is required.
10. Is this program safe if I’ve already had knee surgery?
Yes! This program is designed to support post-surgical recovery and prevent complications like stiffness, weakness, and instability. If you’ve had knee surgery, I’ll create a customized rehab plan to ensure safe and effective recovery.
11. Can this help me avoid surgery or painkillers?
Absolutely! Many of my clients come to me after being told surgery is their only option. By addressing the root cause of knee pain, strengthening the right muscles, and improving movement mechanics, many people avoid surgery and long-term dependence on painkillers.
12. Do you offer online or virtual rehab sessions?
Yes! I offer both in-person and online coaching options. Virtual sessions include customized rehab plans, guided video exercises, and ongoing support to help you progress from anywhere in the world.
13. What makes your approach unique compared to other knee rehab programs?
I combine:
Unlike generic rehab programs, my method focuses on improving “knee ability” and “knee optimization” which produces long-term results, not just temporary relief.
14. How much does it cost, and do you offer package options?
Pricing varies based on whether you choose private 1-on-1 sessions, online coaching, or a structured program. I offer flexible single-session rates and package options to ensure you get the best value for your treatment plan. Contact me for pricing details.
15. How do I get started, and what’s the first step?
The first step is to book an initial consultation where we’ll assess your knee condition, discuss your goals, and create a personalized plan for optimizing knee function. Whether in-person or online, I’ll guide you every step of the way toward stronger, pain-free knees!
