Why These Courses Exist
-
Most people with joint pain are told:
-
“You’re just getting older”

“You’ll need surgery eventually”
-
“Just rest or take pain meds”
But pain is rarely that simple.
These courses were created to give you clarity, context, and control—so you can understand your diagnosis, your options, and what actually helps (and what doesn’t).
