However, the authors of Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction, The Trigger Point Manual for Fibromyalgia , JanetTravell and DavidSimons, MD's report that "voluntary skeletal muscle is the largest single organ of the human body and accounts for 40% or more of body mass." They go on to say that there are "347 paired and 2 unpaired muscles for a total of 696 muscles" in the human body. Further, they state that "any one of these muscles can develop myofascial trigger points that refer pain and other distressing symptoms usually to a remote location." In spite of this, "the muscles receive little attention in modern medical school teaching and medical textbooks". In reality, pain in the back, hip and knee can be nothing more serious than referred pain from myofascial trigger points (tiny contraction knots) in the muscles of the back, hip and thigh. A trigger point is a small contraction knot in a muscle. This knot can be as small as a pea or as big as a thumb. It is buried deep in the muscle. Even when the back, hip or knee has suffered a verifiable physical injury, trigger points in associated muscles always contribute a major part of the pain. Referred pain can be every bit as intense and debilitating as pain from a damaged joint.

What's New? Ha Life eMail ... Local Forecast Sports News, Sports Features, Books HaLife Sports It's called runners knee, but soccer and basketball players and cyclists get it Whether you refer to it as chondromalacia patella, anterior knee syndrome, or runner's knee, anyone whose foot rolls inward when playing or walking can get it. It's not age-related, and the treatment is the same for everyone from the kids to grandpa. It starts with the kneecap, which is supposed to ride smoothly up and down as you walk, run, or cycle. More often, your foot rolls in as you move from heel to toe, and the kneecap scrapes the cartilage on one side. The cartilage weeps in protest, and the joint hurts from no particular injury. It's worse going up and down stairs, and the knee feels stiff after you sit awhile. What can you do? Athroscopic surgery doesn't help much, and most other fixes are only temporary. Proper orthotics are the most important step. They prevent the roll that causes the scraping. Soon the patella cartilage that has been injured can start to regenerate itself. Orthotics alone won't do it, however. The muscle in the front of your thigh that's supposed to hold the kneecap in the center has to be strengthened.

Knee Pain, Runners Knee, Jumpers Knee, Stiff Knee, Locked Knee, Buckling Knee, Hip Pain, Growing Pains, Restless Leg Syndrome According to Doctors Janet Travell and David Simons in their widely acclaimed medical textbook, Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual , pain in hip and knee joints can be nothing more serious than referred pain from myofascial trigger points (tiny contraction knots) in overworked or strained muscles of the hip and thigh. Travell and Simons believe that even when a hip or knee joint has suffered a verifiable physical injury, trigger points in associated muscles always contribute a major part of the pain. Referred pain can be every bit as intense and debilitating as pain from a damaged joint. Mistaken Diagnoses The usual medical explanations for hip and knee pain include arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, ligament injury, and deterioration of joint cartilage. X-rays, MRI's and other tests often seem to substantiate such diagnoses. Although these medical conditions are sometimes genuine, Doctors Travell and Simons contend that they are too often mistaken diagnoses. Even in the absence of objective evidence, hip or knee pain alone is assumed to be proof that the joint itself is in trouble. As a consequence, replacement surgery for hip and knee joints is commonplace and heavily promoted. These surgeries are probably unnecessary in a large number of cases.

@import "http://www.sofsole.com/style04.css"; Doctor's Corner - Runner's Knee Runner's knee, or patellofemoral pain syndrome, is a common name for pain that occurs underneath or around the knee cap. Runner's knee rarely exhibits swelling, locking, or giving way, but pain usually increases when walking or running up or down stairs or hills. Runner's knee frequently occurs in adolescent females. It often results from excessive shock or overpronation. Treatment of runner's knee starts with a stretching and strengthening regimen. Control of excessive pronation has been shown to improve this condition. The Sof Sole Motion Control or Sof Sole Graphite Orthotic helps with overpronation. If symptoms persist, a medical professional should be consulted. Other Doctor's Corner Articles Plantar Fasciitis Shin Splints Athletes Foot Metatarsalgia ... Runner's Knee

Please Read About Our FREE Membership and Submission Guidelines on Our Home Page... 10 Tips for Avoiding Shin Splints, Runner's Knee, and Other Common Injuries Rachel Keller No one likes to face injury, but runners especially seem prone to injuries. And it's no wonder since a runner's feet strike the ground anywhere from 800 to 2,000 times a mile, at a force of about three to five times his body weight. Here are ten tips for avoiding several common injuries. No one likes to face injury, but runners especially seem prone to injuries. And it's no wonder since a runner's feet strike the ground anywhere from 800 to 2,000 times a mile, at a force of about three to five times his body weight. I have been fortunate in that I've remained relatively injury free, but I have had experience with injury: an ankle sprain, knee discomfort, hip pain, and fatigue from overtraining. Other than the sprain, most of my injuries were minor. A couple days of rest, chiropractic care, and stretching helped me recover from my aches. However, I know many other runners and nonrunners who constantly face injury and pain. While many listen to their body and back off, others ignore the pain and keep pushing to a higher levela new personal record or goal. While some injuries are unavoidable, others are preventable.

var i = 0; Keyword Title Search: Home About Submission Discussion ... Athletics Runners Knee Author Message Body Steveo England I get pain under the kneecap and it has been diagnosed as 'runner knee' although the Latin name always seems to escape me. I have been managing the problem by trying to build up Vastus Medialis, and have been static holding at a 20 degree flexion on a leg press machine, and working on the end range on quad extension machines ensuring the hinge joint does not rotate out. Although the problem is managed my vastus medialis is still under developed compared to the rest of the quad. What else should I try to achieve balance in this muscle group? Oct 22, 2004, 15:07 A Fellow Runner Okay first, keep doing what you are doing. Second if it is in a lot of pain, take a couple days off of what your are trying. Don't push it too hard, that oculd be because of overuse. I have done this many times, and it helps to sometimes take a couple weeks off. Also i find this helpful. Take a bag of frozen peas of vegetables, and place them around your knee. It will be very cold, but when they start to form around your knee it will get into the grooves of the knee and make sure that every part of your knee is covered. This will loosen it. After icing it with frozen vegetables for about 30 minutes, massage your knee with your index and middle finger. Work it in a circle. Hoepfully this helps, it always seems to work for me!!
