CNY with the physiotherapist

on CNY D3, my mum's friends came over to our place and there's this mum's friend's daughter who is a physiotherapy student.

she assessed my gait, squats with 1 leg, jumps landing on 1 leg, and palpate my patella. she made a few comments which may be quite true about my bad leg:
  1. my bad leg i.e. right leg, may be due to my multiple ankle sprains when I was younger, and so my right knee has to compensate when I run. thus, my right knee underwent wear and tear more significant compared to my left knee
  2. my right leg patella was slightly misaligned more towards the inner of the axis of the tendon
  3. my balance with my right leg was poorer when I was standing on my right leg
lastly, she taught me how to strengthen my left hip muscle to bring up my right pelvis.

woah.... it was a gd PT (physiotherapy) session :)
