Kirsten,
Have you looked at the psoas and iliacus muscles at all?? I have actually
treated people who get knee and ankle pain which were originating from these
muscles. My theory is that when these muscles are tight and strained, they
actually change your biomechanics, so no matter how much you treat the quads
muscles, it is not going to make much difference. Try trigger pointing and
stretching these muscles.
I think the suggestions that you may have some other problems that has not
been checked out could be true, but too often, we ignore the muscles that
are else where and just concentrate too much on the region of injury.
