IN-PERSON CLASSROOM CEU • MIDTOWN WEST (NYC)

MFR for the Knee: Assessment, Treatment & Advanced Myofascial Techniques

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints you’ll see—but the knee is rarely the real problem.

Most treatments focus directly on the joint, leading to temporary relief that doesn’t hold.

In this 2-day hands-on course, you’ll learn how to assess knee positioning in context, identify what’s actually driving strain, and apply myofascial release techniques that reduce stress on the joint—so results last beyond a single session.

THE CLINICAL WHY

The knee doesn’t create the problem—it absorbs it.

The knee sits between the hip and the foot, which means it’s constantly responding to forces coming from both directions.

When those forces aren’t balanced, the knee takes the hit.

This is why so many knee issues—runner’s knee, patellar tracking problems, even chronic discomfort—keep coming back despite local treatment.

If you don’t change how load is moving through the system, the knee keeps compensating.

This course shifts the focus from “working on the knee” to understanding how to reduce stress on it—by changing how the rest of the body is functioning.

You’ll learn how to assess contributing patterns, prioritize treatment more effectively, and create results that actually hold.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for therapists who want knee results that actually last—not just temporary relief from local work

Great fit if you want to...

Therapists working with recurring knee pain or instability
LMTs frustrated by short-term results from local knee work
Practitioners wanting to better understand hip–knee–foot relationships
Therapists ready to move beyond symptom-based treatment

Not ideal if you…

Therapists looking for isolated knee techniques or routines
Beginners without a solid anatomy or assessment foundation
Passive learners who prefer technique lists without reasoning

IN THE ROOM

Skills you can use the very next workday

In this course, you’ll learn how to work with key structures that directly influence knee stress—including the adductors, popliteal region, distal hamstrings, and deeper aspects of the quadriceps and connective tissue around the joint.

These are some of the most influential structures in knee mechanics—but also the ones therapists tend to either avoid or overwork locally without context.

They’re require better assessment, more precise intent, and an understanding of how forces are moving through the hip and foot.

Your Instructor

Learn from a clinician who teaches what he practices

David Weintraub, LMT teaches the same framework used at Bodyworks DW, where knee pain is approached as part of a larger movement and load distribution system—not an isolated joint issue.

This course reflects real clinical decision-making, not simplified protocols or technique-based treatment.
