Our Founder’s Story
Hi, I’m Cherizza—founder of Kneed Health.
I had my first knee surgery when I was just 12 years old. I thought it would be my only one… but over the next 20 years, I ended up having eight surgeries in total.
With each recovery, I remember everyone being there the first few days but then fading away over the weeks through no fault of their own. With each surgery, I learned a little more and figured out how to make myself better. I kept notes on my phone, joined online support groups, started an Instagram to track and share my progress, leaned on close friends, and found amazing physical therapists. By my eighth surgery, I had built my own little recovery system.
And that’s when it hit me: Why should anyone have to go through eight surgeries just to figure all this out?
That’s why I created Kneed Health—a place where you don’t have to do it alone or without information.
Kneed Health is designed to make recovery less isolating and more effective. You’ll be able to track how you’re feeling, stay on top of your exercises, share your story, and connect with others who really get it.
Because healing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional too. And the right support can change everything. Trust me, I know!
