At The Miracle of Massage, Fix What’s Really Broken is more than a phrase — it’s the way I solve problems.
I learned it as a diesel mechanic and millwright: if you fix the wrong part, the breakdown will return. The only real solution is to find the cause, repair it, and restore the system to full working order.
This approach is also shaped by Simon Sinek’s “Start With Why” — my why is to restore mobility and freedom to people living in pain by fixing the true cause, not just treating symptoms.

His Story: Surgery Wasn’t the Answer
I’ll call him James.
James came to me limping heavily, his knee swollen and aching. He couldn’t stand for long without pain, and stairs were out of the question. His doctor told him the cartilage in his knee was “worn down” and surgery might be necessary.
But James had a gut feeling something else was wrong. He didn’t remember any injury, and the pain had built up slowly over time.
The Real Source of His Knee Pain
When James came in, I approached him like a mechanic diagnosing a machine. I checked the “moving parts” above and below the knee — his hips, thighs, calves, and feet.
What I found surprised him:
His gluteal muscles were weak and not supporting his hips properly
His hip flexors were tight, pulling his pelvis slightly forward
This shift forced his knee joint to absorb more impact with every step
As a result, muscles and tendons around the knee were overloaded and inflamed
In short — the knee wasn’t the real problem. It was taking the punishment for imbalances higher up the chain.

Why Muscle Imbalances Can Cause Knee Pain
The human body is like a series of linked components. If one part is misaligned or underperforming, another part has to compensate — often until it fails. In machines, this is like a bearing wearing out because the shaft above it is bent. In the body, the knee suffers when the hips and pelvis are out of balance.
The Fix
I used targeted medical massage therapy to:
Release tension in his hip flexors and quads
Strengthen the gluteal and hamstring muscles to stabilize the pelvis
Restore normal tracking of the kneecap
Within a few weeks, James was walking without a limp and using stairs again without pain. Surgery was no longer on the table.
Why This Works
The Fix What’s Really Broken approach works because it:
Seeks out the mechanical root cause of pain
Restores balance and proper movement patterns
Eliminates the overload that keeps the injury alive
If You Have Knee Pain That Won’t Go Away…
Don’t just assume it’s “bad knees.” Let’s check the full system and see if the real cause is somewhere else.
