Could you clarify what you mean by "just had it happen?" Were you born with it, did it develop as a child? If so, I suppose it may be congenital. Or did your...

I guess i was a little vague with the first discription of my knee problems. I have actually had knee problems my entire life. I think that I first remember...
Hmm, sounds like it really might be congenital and therefore a good candidate for surgery. Most of the physical therapy modalities (exercises, stretches, deep...

Try the pattstrap.... I was in the same situation only with running... It was getting worse and it appeared that the only solution was to stop running... I...
Do you stretch at all? Like most people here, cycling has never bothered me, it was running. But I am sure my ITB got really tight by cycling without...
Someone already mentioned stretching, I'd recommend that. To suppliment the stretching try the foam roller, tennis ball, "the stick" to find the tight places,...

Hi Guys, Thank you for your informative reactions! I have started some light stretshing to loosen up my hip and the big mussels in my legs. When I started...
... I cannot visualize this... When you get on your knee, the bent leg is in the front and the other in the back. So how can you put the foot that is flat on...
