Knee Pain With Pistol Squats (SHE HAD PAIN FOR 5 YEARS!)

Gretchen had been dealing with left knee pain for the past 5 years that severely limited her ability to single leg squat. Today I'm going to walk you through our entire evaluation and treatment that allowed her to perform a pain free pistol squat!

Eval takeaway: her knee pain wasn't a problem AT the knee. That's just where the symptoms were. Her cause was all the way up at the hip! Until the movement related factors at the joints above and below the site of symptoms are uncovered and addressed, most injuries will not resolve!

Reminder: this is not the end "magic pill." What this eval showed was the problem and the path to the ultimate fix. It will then be on Gretchen to continue these exercises and slowly build back pain free capacity. But through this simple test & retest method, we can see how this path is the right one for her body.
