Alyssa Kuhn, PT, DPT
Founder of Keep the Adventure Alive
Hi! My name is Alyssa and I'm a physical therapist and entrepreneur who set out on a mission to help people adventure with osteoarthritis. 

I get it, chronic pain can be complicated. Add in an osteoarthritis diagnosis and patients can be left scared, confused, and stuck. The doom and gloom can become overwhelming and all of a sudden- they are fearful of movement.

As health and fitness professionals we have an opportunity to change the lives of our patients/clients. After taking a deep dive into the world of osteoarthritis and treating countless patients- I realized there are some large gaps in the way healthcare approaches osteoarthritis management. These gaps can negatively impact the lives of those with the condition. 

With a few simple principles and a perspective honing in on hope and adventure- I have helped so many patients open doors they never thought they could. Whether they are "bone on bone", have failed physical therapy prior, or are lost in their journey to relief- this course shares the intricate details I have learned along the way.

Learn how to create raving fans and help your patients find life changing results with knee osteoarthritis!
