Excellent source of information on understanding the mechanics of this problem. It helped me wrap up my thoughts around how to plan a training program for a cleint with knee issues...As always, Boyle did it! Thank you!

Love the article; very informative. I have been suffering patella-femoral pain for 4-months and counting with little success. After reading your article I am optimistic of a full recovery and return to running! Thanks. Todd Mikolajczyk

What a great article. I have found (even with my limited, unqualified experience) that all of this is true in the real world. I work a lot with my clients training these exact movements (and others as well of course) and have had many 'bad' knees just go away, like a miracle over time. Although most health professionals (at least around here) still advise against these movements and prescribe band leg extensions etc as the be all and end all of treatment, I am going against the grain and having great results. Thanks for the great article-more of this please Jo

surely to stabalise the hip and eleviate knee pain you need to strengthen the glute med via balance training (single leg) and release tension at the piriformis, tfl and it band through foam rolling and static stretching, whilst also breaking down fascia in the foot via massage.

Doesn't the IT band extend from the TFL and glute max, rather than the glute med?...And, isn't the patellar tendon the tendon of the rectus femoris? How then does the IT band transmit forces from the glute med to the patellar tendon if it's not even attached to either?
