Meet Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, PT
Hi, I’m Alyssa! I am a doctor of physical therapy and specialize in helping people with osteoarthritis not only find pain relief, but also to unlock adventure.
After graduating physical therapy school and working in the field, I quickly realized there was a huge gap in how people were being treated with osteoarthritis. The advice given was not matching what the research says and people were commonly left feeling overwhelmed, confused, and hopeless.
One woman mentioned being diagnosed with osteoarthritis felt like a stab to the heart.
I found that so often active people became sedentary, isolated, and depressed because they felt or even were told there was nothing they could do about the condition.
Instead, through lots of research, client meetings, and chatting with experts- I realized that there was SO much more potential for those with osteoarthritis. That it didn’t have to be a death sentence to everything they loved doing. I started helping patients regain their strength, their sense of hope, and their ability to adventure. Patients got back to hiking, walking up/down hills and stairs, played pickleball and tennis again, and even gained the confidence to travel again.
I knew I had to share the three steps that helped each and every one of these patients with the world.
After living in Utah for the past few years, I truly understand how special adventure can be. I know how freeing it can feel to be able to go explore where you want to and be there for ones that matter most. I am all about practicing what I preach and I continue to place a high value on health, movement, and adventure myself. You can often find me skiing, playing with my dog Teddy, hiking, and creating fun videos for Instagram.
Welcome to the Arthritis Adventure family. You are not alone on this journey.

Overcoming the Barriers of Joint Pain
You Deserve Answers, Not Dismissal
Too often, you’re told “it’s just arthritis” or that pain is inevitable. That’s not good enough. You deserve to understand what’s really happening in your joints and have a clear path forward. I provide evidence-based answers that empower you to take control of your joint health, not just accept your pain.
You’re Capable of More Than You’ve Been Told
Swimming and walking aren’t your only options. Despite what you may have heard, your arthritic joints can handle—and benefit from—so much more. Through specialized, joint-friendly movements, you’ll build real strength and confidence. You can say YES to stairs, hiking, travel, and the activities that matter most to you.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Joint pain can feel isolating, but you’re not on this journey by yourself. When you understand what’s actually happening inside your joint—beyond just “wear and tear”—everything changes. You’ll gain clarity, hope, and a supportive community of people who understand what you’re going through and are reclaiming their active lives too.
