Many people, among them me, have fixed their PT with training.
I appreciate your participation. I read your first reference and found the thread helpful. I hadn't mentioned it earlier but sitting on a recliner my right foot (leg?) rotates outward perhaps 15-20 degrees compared to the left. My right knee has been the problem. I adjusted my right SPD clip to match that when I began riding and have ridden that way for over a year. My fitter (in September) noticed my right knee rotating in a circle when I pedaled and inserted two 1 degree wedges; now the knee racks up and down, although the knee is further out from the frame than my right. Tensing my legs the right VMO is clearly larger than my left. The light bulb goes on! Imbalance from riding so long with my right toes pointed out? Is it possible that moving the clip to straighten right foot (smaller Q) might address this knee issue? In the past months I've also experienced cramping of the VMO when sitting in a recliner watching television....never the left.

Lots to absorb here..and thanks again. p.s. I'm going to try those two stretching exercises shown in the video.
