some of you that know me personally will also know that ive had pretty bad knee pain recently that has put me out of action as far as any impact is concerned.

After resting up for a month there was absoloutly no improvement in the soreness of my knees, if anything they were worse and ached all the time.

I finally got my ass to the doctors, who recommended me onto the physio. Although at first some scary talks of arthritis,performing lachmans draw and examining my knee his conclusion was that the hypermobility of all my joints makes me unsuited to impact activities. My ligaments move around more than they should and my joints are more prone to damage than someone with less flexible joints.

I had my physio appointment today, she said that my knee is misaligned, my kneecap is rubbing in the wrong place causing me discomfort, my feet seem quite flat and my knees turn in slightly, fortunatly it can be corrected through simple repititious exercises. However what she didnt tell me was what had caused the problem, so I am still concerned that although I am doing exercises to combat it, it will be a fruitless exercise if i dont find the cause. Im going to a private physio tomorrow to get more information as to prevention in the first place.

Even though ive been resting my knees and not doing anything impact in the last few weeks, my knees havent improved. If anything they have got worse, I thought it was jumpers knee but it feels like it might be worse so I have physio booked this week and X-rays on monday. Im really worried about it but I guess ill just have to wait and see what she says. Until its sorted im stuck with conditioning, which dont get me wrong is fine, but its nothing compared to training freely.

Ive uploaded a couple of clips from earlier this summer, I was going to gather footage for a Candidafaria showreel but it looks like that has gone on hold so no long videos for a while.
