I have am using MAT - Muscle Activation Technique. I was referred to this
approach from my yoga instructor. So far - 2 sessions - the technique has
reduced the pain and moved it from the side of my thigh to lower outside part of
my knee. Give the dramatic results shown so far after 2 hours of work I am
optimistic i will eliminate the pain in a few weeks. I am also doing hatha yoga
4-5 days a week with a focus on hips and using the foam roller. I have
attached a couple of MAT links. The first is a good high level overview - the
second a more in depth discussion
