Hi,
I've been having problems with my knee for
the past year and a half. I had a small
sprain of the ACL in january 2007 and
since then things have got worst.
A bit of history... I did karate for some
11 years, which has given me very powerful
legs but also very short muscles and a
terrible posture. For virtually every
movement I do, I compensate with some
muscle that shouldn't be activated.
Now I changed sport, I do brazilian Jiu
jitsu, that doesn't work out as much the
legs. My legs are still very strong but
they become very "loose" like the muscles
have lost tone or turgidity. Both my
patello-femoral joints are very lax, to
the point that I had had subluxation on
the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus
of my knee a few times.
I don't know what to do. The exercises
that make me feel a little better are
stairs and leg extension, but I don't want
to put a patch on the problem with these.
Can anyone give insight or suggest a book
where I can read about such problems?
