Indeed Ginger. However, the first step to solving a problem is to describe the signs, symptoms and physical findings.

I appreciate that some problems - certainly a lot more than are given credit for - are referred pain events.

Chondromalacia is simply cartilage pain (in this case retropatella is the most common reason).

But as you rightly point out elsewhere, it doesn't tell you WHY it happened.

But (as i have stated elsewhere), if life were as easy as restoring joint function in the L/S, thousands of intelligent therapists who have come before you will have solved many of life's problems.

Certainty is the enemy of learning...
