Strengthening the VMO muscles

[Sailorsi]

My knees click, it's when they don't that things aren't tracking right! I wouldn't pay too much attention to a bit of crepitus.

Check out this website It helped me enormously, whereas two physios didn't.

A great resource, thanks for the link - Looks like a period of rest, stretching and strengthening is in order before I get back on the bike. Don't you just hate being unwell!

Well I went to the physio and it turns out, contrary to my OP, that my gluteus medius is a bit shoot and pretty much every other muscle in my leg far too tight. I've got some stretches and exercises and my knees feel a bit better already, even though I have cycled every day since Sunday (don't worry, I'm going to take a rest tomorrow).

Only time will tell whether this will solve it, but feeling much more positive about it all now. Might even dig a bit deeper into my pocket and go back for another appointment as Nicole at Peleton Physio was great - highly recommended (let's just hope she doesn't frequent this site and read this)!
