I have had the opportunity to see some rotator cuff tendonitis and biceps tendonitis patient recently who reminded me of the importance of that first statement.

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>
