674: 52-Year-Old Broker Gets Rid of His Knee Pain and Gains 10 Yards off the Tee in 3 Months (Case Study)

Trevor, 52, a real estate broker, came to Ted for one reason: to get rid of his knee pain so he could play golf without paying for it the next day, and get back on the basketball court. Three months later, he spent a week playing golf in Scotland; he’s hitting the ball 10 yards further, and he says, “I feel like I’m a 35-year-old again.” Press play to hear exactly how he did it, step by step. It’s not your age, it’s your program.

Trevor had two knee surgeries, lived with a nagging 2 or 3 out of 10 knee ache, and hadn’t jumped since tearing his ACL going for a rebound. This is his second time working with Ted. Five-plus years ago, they worked together to change his habits and get healthy, and he’s kept those results ever since. This time, the goal was his knee.

In this episode, Ted and Trevor talk about why resting his knee wasn’t working, what training it the right way looked like, and what Trevor would tell any man over 40 who thinks his best days on the course are behind him.

You’ll learn:

  • Why avoiding impact kept Trevor’s knee stuck, and what Ted had him do instead
  • How Trevor went from “I don’t think I’ve jumped since then” to jumping again without pain
  • Why Trevor came back to Ted after five years, and what made the second round different
  • How he’s kept his first-round results for more than five years
  • What Trevor would tell any man on the fence

P.S. Trevor’s advice, word for word: “If you’re on the fence, I strongly encourage you to sign up. It’s the best thing I ever did.” If knee pain is keeping you off the course, book your call with Ted. It’s not your age, it’s your program. And if you don’t get results, you don’t pay.
