PETER IS STILL PUTTING IN THE WORK — AND IT SHOWS

We’ve highlighted Peter before and he’s still going strong. After completing his regenerative medicine program for his shoulder—including BMAC/PRP injections, V-Motion Fit, and MLS laser therapy—Peter didn’t just stop when the program ended.

He took what he learned and made it part of his lifestyle.

Now, he’s back in his home gym, getting a pump, moving confidently, and doing it all pain-free. This is what long-term success looks like—consistency, education, and the right approach from the start.

At Victory In Motion, Home of Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement®, our goal isn’t just short-term relief. It’s giving you the tools to keep going long after you leave our clinic.

WHAT IS CLAUDETTE MOST HAPPY ABOUT?

It’s not just that she’s moving better… it’s HOW she’s getting there.

Claudette shares that in the past, when she went to physical therapy elsewhere, she was often left wondering:
“Am I even doing this right?”

A timer would be set. The therapist would walk away. And like so many others, she was left to figure it out on her own.

But at Victory In Motion, Home of Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement®, everything changed.

With our V-Motion Fit program, Claudette receives real-time, 1:1 guidance for a full hour. Every movement is coached. Every rep is intentional. Every correction matters.

No guessing.
No being left alone.
No “just standard physical therapy.”

This is total body fitness with purpose—and it’s what sets us apart.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about your progress, maybe it’s time to experience the difference for yourself.

TAKE A GUESS!

How much ankle dorsiflexion do you think is being measured here?

A goniometer is a simple but powerful tool we use to objectively track joint mobility and progress. Ankle dorsiflexion plays a major role in walking, balance, and overall movement efficiency—and limitations here can impact everything up the chain, including the knee.

Drop your guess in the comments below!

At Victory In Motion, Home of Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement®, we focus on measurable progress and restoring function through regenerative medicine and targeted rehabilitation.

MEET THE TEAM’S LOVING PETS

At Victory In Motion, Home of Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement®, we spend a lot of time talking about helping people move better and stay active. But today we’re introducing some very special members of our extended family… our pets.

From energetic dogs who love long walks to curious cats and chickens who keep us company at home, our pets bring so much joy to our lives. They depend on us to stay active, present, and able to enjoy every moment with them.

That’s one of the reasons joint health matters so much. When your joints are strong and functioning well, it’s easier to take those extra walks, play in the yard, go on adventures, and give your pets the active, loving life they deserve while they’re with us.

Our team understands firsthand how important it is to keep moving — not just for ourselves, but for the ones who count on us every day.

Here’s a look at some of the pets that keep the Victory In Motion team smiling!

THE POWER OF AN EDUCATED PATIENT

Dr. P recently joined Tom and Steve on The Local Show for a great conversation about the growing impact of his book Repair NOT Replace™. One of the key points he shared is something we see more and more in our office: patients who come in having already read the book are incredibly well informed. That education changes everything.

When patients understand the principles behind regenerative medicine and the philosophy of repairing tissue and joints rather than replacing them, the conversations become deeper, clearer, and much more productive. It allows us to focus on goals, options, and solutions instead of starting from square one.

Dr. P also reminded listeners that our mission is bold but clear: Knee Replacement Free by 2043.

The exciting part? That mission is gaining momentum. Dr. P has recently received a growing number of invitations to speak with physicians about the concepts in Repair NOT Replace™. Training and educating other doctors is a critical part of this movement, because achieving this mission will require doctors everywhere to rethink how knee and other joint problems are treated.

If you haven’t read the book yet, you can find Repair NOT Replace™ on Amazon and see why so many patients are coming into our office better informed and ready to take control of their joint and overall health.

But it’s not just about learning—it’s also about appreciation. Another photo captures some food this month’s staff appreciation luncheon.

THE YOGA POSES OF AN 82-YEAR-OLD? YES, REALLY.

When Diane walked into our office recently, she didn’t just tell us how she was doing… she showed us.

Nearly four years after completing her regenerative program, which included BMAC and PRP injections into her left knee, Diane is still thriving. At 82 years young, she demonstrated several impressive and challenging yoga poses that she performs regularly.

Strength. Balance. Confidence. Longevity.

Watching Diane move is a powerful reminder that age does not have to define what your body is capable of.

During her visit, Dr. Pietropaoli presented Diane with something very special — two copies of his book, Repair NOT Replace™. Diane is one of the patients whose story helped shape the message of the book.

One copy was custom signed just for her, and the other was given so she can pass the story along and inspire someone else.

And here’s the truth:
Without Diane’s story, this book would not have been possible… and it would not have reached the #1 Amazon Bestseller list.

Patients like Diane are the reason this mission exists — showing people everywhere that there may be options beyond knee replacement.

CLARITY DAY: GETTING ALL THE ANSWERS IN ONE DAY

Joe recently attended a Clarity Day at Victory In Motion, Home of Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement®, and he shared how impressed he was with the entire experience.

From the moment he arrived, Joe appreciated how organized and accommodating the day was. He explained that the schedule was even modified slightly to better fit his needs, which made the experience even smoother. Most importantly, he was grateful for the time and attention he received from the entire team.

One of the biggest highlights for Joe was being able to get all of his questions answered in a single day. Instead of having to schedule multiple appointments and wait weeks between visits, Clarity Day allowed him to meet with our team, review his imaging, and discuss his options all at once.

For Joe, that convenience made a huge difference. The ability to fit everything into one day that worked with his schedule gave him the clarity he was looking for and helped him feel confident about the next steps in his journey.

We’re grateful Joe trusted our team and are thrilled that his Clarity Day experience provided the answers and direction he was looking for.

Our team is excited to work with Joe moving forward and help him reach his goals!

FROM PATIENT STORY TO POWERFUL IMPACT

Some stories are simply too important not to share.

In this special moment, Dr. Marc Pietropaoli presents Pam with a signed copy of his book Repair NOT Replace™. Pam is actually featured in the book, and as Dr. P explains, without her story the book truly wouldn’t have been possible.

Pam reflects on a recent chapter in her life—retiring from a career working with students. She shares how much she misses the daily opportunity to help young people grow and make the world a better place.

But being part of Repair NOT Replace™ has given her a new way to do exactly that.

Pam explains that knowing her story could impact others facing similar challenges means everything to her. If sharing her journey helps even one person realize they may have options, then it was worth it.

As the conversation wraps up, Pam stands up to give Dr. P a hug—something he points out that she once wasn’t physically able to do before her overall joint pain.

Moments like this remind us that healing isn’t just about joints and movement. It’s about restoring the ability to live, connect, and inspire others.

You can purchase your copy of Repair NOT Replace™ and read Pam’s incredible story along with many others.

WHAT IS TOMMY JOHN SURGERY?

It’s baseball season, which means you’ll likely start hearing this term more and more: Tommy John surgery.

Tommy John surgery is performed when the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) on the inner (medial) side of the elbow tears. This ligament is critically important for stability when throwing—especially for pitchers.

When the UCL tears, surgeons reconstruct the ligament using a tendon graft in a procedure known as Tommy John surgery.

Years ago, this injury was something we typically saw later in a pitcher’s career. But today it has become an epidemic. High school athletes—and even younger players—are tearing their UCLs at alarming rates.

Why is this happening?
Today’s athletes are bigger, stronger, and throwing harder than ever before. Many young pitchers also play year-round, competing in multiple leagues and attending showcases where they throw as hard as possible to impress scouts.

The problem is physics.

Research from renowned orthopedic surgeon James Andrews and colleagues has shown that the force placed across the ulnar collateral ligament during a pitch is actually high enough to tear the ligament. So why doesn’t it tear with every throw?
Because the muscles surrounding the elbow help protect the ligament by absorbing some of that stress.

However, when a pitcher throws while fatigued, throws too many pitches, or has weak supporting muscles, more force transfers directly through the elbow joint and the UCL. Over time—or sometimes suddenly—that ligament can fail.

This is why proper conditioning, pitch counts, and recovery are critical for protecting young arms.

IS YOUR KNEE PAIN AFFECTING YOUR DOG?

One of the saddest things about knee pain is that people often cannot walk their dog anymore.

And if you are a dog owner, you know how heartbreaking that can be.

Your dog stands by the door with the leash in their mouth, tail wagging, ready to go…�And you are thinking, “I wish I could.”

Tank just turned 7 years old, but he still acts like he is 2.

One of the simple things done for him every day is adding turmeric and ginger to his food. Why?

Both turmeric and ginger contain natural compounds that help support a healthy inflammatory response in the body.

Turmeric contains curcumin, and ginger contains gingerols—both of which have been widely studied for their natural anti-inflammatory effects.

When inflammation is better controlled, joints tend to move more comfortably.
And when joints move better, people can stay active.

After all, Motion IS Medicine.
Sometimes the goal is golf.�Sometimes it is gardening.

And very often, it is something even more meaningful…
Being able to grab the leash and walk the dog again.
