Much was made of <a href="http://photos.ivillage.com/entertainment/starsnapshots/2007/01/two_of_a_kind.html?dst=rss%7Cent_snapshot" rel="nofollow">this photo</a> of the two of them on a tandem bike. I'd noticed she had a bandage on one knee - and as it turns out, she revealed that about 5 minutes after that snapshot, they took a spill when he made a turn she didn't anticipate. She was quite the advocate for tandem biking. See what you and Josh started? *grin* Strange celebrity coincidence: I was watching Jay Leno earlier this week (insomnia) and Rebecca Romijn was a guest (aka Romijn-Stamos, but since she’s with Jerry O’Connell these days I’m not surprised at the truncation).

(Of course, the reason they are coming to PT is because they are having problems. So this should not be construed to mean that half the population has weak hip muscles.) And if you have internally rotated femurs, just working on the hip muscles to get your legs in a better position will probably greatly help patellar tracking, even without working on the VMO. (VMO strengthening is highly controversial in the PT world. Some people believe it is completely necessary, others thing that poor patellar tracking is almost always due to other problems such as poor alignment.) It sounds like you have a good PT program that will help regardless of where the problem stemmed from! I’d say at least half hte patients I see have weak hip muscles.
