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. Mike McKenna
