In memory of running (2)

After yesterday's posting about patella tendonitus I've gotten a few ideas.

Firstly my former yoga teacher suggested arnica oil as an anti-inflamatory. And Sarah (wife to be) suggested leg raises to strengthen the quad and standing on one leg (your good leg) and hold your thigh of your bad leg out at 90 degrees. This will also strengthen the quad muscle.

I also got a message from a doctor about Active Release Technique which I will look into today.

I will try the exercises along with the stretches and a small amount of weights in the gym and report back on my progress.
