cheeky bump

The pain I've got is below the knee on the inside, which is in line with Pes anserinus isn't it? What is PFJS? Since I've had the wedges, started stretching and have had insoles I've noticed a difference.

Pain is still there but not as bad, does this mean It'll eventually disappear over time?

The pain location could be pes anserinus but this would be an unusual cause of pain in the ways you describe. PFJS is patellofemoral joint syndrome (knee cap involvement). If you correct your biomechanics and riding position and allow your knee to settle then hopefully you will be symptoms free.

This thread is becoming a myth-fest!

Spenceey - I'm surprised that you have pes anserinus, I would suspect more likely PFJS. Wedges and biomechanical correction should help.

Give the nr above a ring, all the bookings are done through that

Thanks kboy.

Hi all,

The main gym site has been closed for the last 10 days but will reopen this week. We have been seeing patients in one of our satellite clinics but apologies to all those who have been inconvenienced.

On a more positive note: I have good availability this Thursday afternoon / evening. I even have a free slot tomorrow at 7pm. Call us on 0207 482 3875 to arrange a convenient slot or PM / post any queries as usual.

Michael.

Hi Kidboy,
Easiest thing is to visit our website:
www.complete-physio.co.uk

I see a lot of people who have 'failed' Physio because no-one has ever looked at their cycling mechanics.

I do 'own-bike' fittings but do not have access to replacement parts / new components.

You could be seeing me for free! (same NHS trust). Hope it's going well.

A rarity: 6pm - 7pm tomorrow is now available. I'll be at Kentish Town Health Centre, 2 Bartholomew Road, for a one-off clinic. Call us on 0207 482 3875 if you want to book an appointment.

if stretching seems to help, perhaps a physio can help at least for a while. Should it still be arthritis, a well maintained flexible body could only be a good thing that will help you live better?

PM bluerip00 on here, he's great and in my opinion, is well worth the monies

Thanks kboy.

Just a reminder that the clinic is recognised by all major health insurance companies. All we require is the authorisation code from them and to obtain this you need a referral from your GP.

Change of scenery today - working with the medical team at the Track World Cup. More burns and splinters than patellafemoral pain.

Spenceey - Patella maltracking is probably the norm for most people and in itself is rarely the direct cause of symptoms. Patella subluxations however (where your knee cap pops around the side of your knee) warrants an Orthopaedic opinion.

Your GP will refer you to Physio (GP dependent) and this will be a suitable starting place.

PM if you have any specific concerns.

Hi all,

Working at the UCI Track World Cup this weekend.

Have availability next week if anyone needs an appointment.

We both attended the International Cyclefit Symposium over the last few days and it was pretty clear that Scherrit has knowledge beyond the majority of the bike-fitting community and he's a nice guy too.

Attended the International Cyclefit Symposium over the last two days. Very insightful but inconclusive. Finally met Scherrit in person - so much more than just a bike fitter!

Clinics back to normal next week but pretty busy. I'll be working at the UCI Track World Cup in Feb now too so more clinic disruption on the pipeline - apologies in advance.

Skipped through the previous comments but...

lowering your saddle or switching to risers helps tremendously. Also riding hands together over the stem helps stretching out your shoulders. Or consider fitting a shorter stem or even a shorter top tube

Sound advice for quick symptom relief but equally effective at adversely affecting muscle length-tension relationships (think strength / power) and aerodynamics. Fine in the short term though but riders shouldn't reside themselves to think things can't be improved.
