Boston Cycling Orthopod for Knees
I'm looking for a Boston Orthopod knowledable in cycling kneee injuries. Or a good PT who can diagnose and treat problems.
My knees are acting up - the right PF ligament is popping in and out of track with a snapping sound. It just started happening last week and it pops when I'm just walking around. It pops when I stand on the bike, unless I try to rotate my hip in when rising up. I'm wearing a double Cho-Pat strap to try and keep it stable. Ibuprufin and ice help. I have orthotics and cleat/bike fit from Fit Werx in VT - good folks.
I was told 25 years ago (I'm 49 now) that I have antiverted hip joints (pigeon-toed from the hips) and will experience tracking problems. If it's a muscular imbalance, I need to find out which muscles to focus on. I understand most have tight IT Band and hamstring issues with weaker VMO quads, which pulls the kneecap outward, but I'd like to know for sure so I make things better rather than worse with exercises and stretching.
