Ow. Ow. Ow. I had another appointment with Glenn on Friday and it hurt like hell. He focussed a lot more toward the knee doing active release. It is clear that he and Dave agree on where the problem lies - weak glut. med. They also agree that my over-compensation for the weakness is manifesting itself in the junction between the vastus lateralis muscle and the IT Band. Glenn worked hard on pulling the vastus lateralis away from the IT Band. Then, he moved on to the gluts.
I now have new exercises to do which aim at strengthening my glut. med. so it can take over the job of stabilising my hip. Once the strength builds, it should take the load off the IT band and the vastus lateralis.
Finally, Glenn gave me a full adjustment of my hip alignment.
