A couple of weeks ago there was some discussion with regards to
hip pain.  At the time I posted that I was told that it was due
to muscle imbalance and was told to do leg lifts to strengthen
the outside of my leg.  Well I tried this for a couple of months
with no real improvement... it didn't seem to be getting worse,
but certainly not better.  Earlier this week I think I stumbled 
on the correct therapy for myself that I figured I should share.
I noticed that when I was walking or running my knee was not 
bending straight over my foot. When I tried to force my knee to
bend straight over my foot I noticed how tight my calves were.  
For the next few days I did calf stretches - from the achilles area
to the knee and the pain in my hip is no longer noticeable.
