About Knee Rehab Pros

Restore Your Knee.
And Your Life.

We created the KneeFitIn5 program, LRU Positioner, ElevateX Positioner, and Knee Rehab Kit so you have access to the tools you need to heal safely, maximize knee function, and return to the activities you love — from the comfort of your home.

Our mission

We are here to help.

Knee pain disrupts life. Most patients leave therapy without a clear plan — and without the right tools, progress stalls or reverses. We built Knee Rehab Pros to change that.

With over 60 years of combined experience in knee surgery and physical therapy, we developed a program and set of tools that give every patient access to professional-grade rehabilitation — at home, on their terms.
