So I had my first PT appointment tonight for my knees.
The doctor thinks my inner leg muscles (hard to explain) are weak and the outer are a tight which is pulling my kneecap out to the side a bit.
He went over a handful of exercises with me that I will do at home.
He also watched me run and pointed out I'm a heel striker and and that I should try and hit more mid-foot. He also explained how my form is sort of a up and down motion which is causing more impact on my knees and that I should focus on more of a leaning forward motion (reminds me of what I've read about chi running).
The doctor is also a runner so that was cool.
He recommended me taking it easy with the running which I don't want to do. I told him that I'm doing a 10k in about a month and he said to at least maybe skip long runs for the next week or two.
So yeah, that is all!
