		<description><![CDATA[OK, I've been sitting on this one for a while now just to make sure that what I'm seeing is actually happening.
I have a fair number of patients who exhibit functional quadricep weakness during squatting activities, and not all of these folks have knee pain. I regularly do a squat test during my initial evaluation [...]]]></description>

Next time before you stretch them, ask them if they feel the pain in the front or the back of the knee. More times than not, the limitation isn't due to scar tissue formation...and more times than not the pain sensation [...]]]></description>

Today I wanted to talk about an often very misunderstood problem, Achilles Tendonitis. This is #3 on the top 5 running injuries.

		<description><![CDATA[Iliotibial band friction syndrome is often described as an overuse injury that produces pain on the lateral knee. In fact, it is listed among the Big Five of running injuries, along with Achilles tendonitis, chondromalacia, plantar fasciitis and shin splints.
