How do you care for your joints /fit/?
Have any of you every dealt with patellar tracking disorder?
How did you fix it?
I'm doing a lot of quad/ITB stretching but haven't noticed a big difference.

Wide stance box squats, push knees out
Patellar tendonitis here shit sucks, but keeping limber and adding the right muscle prevents most problems
I'm quire sure i have this. My left knee hurts so badly when i go down stairs.
I can sqaut and do everything else without pain so i dont mind too badly.
I've started to stretch my quads more these days.
Good luck OP

Thanks brah, I've found that doing cycling sprints as a warm up really helps with the pain before squats.

I just want to put this out there. Joint supplements were clinically proven to be ineffective 6 years ago, so don't bother with them. Stick to stretches and physical therapy type stuff.

Never bothered with them, I only take fish oil

>implying clinical trials are lying
Joint fluid is composed primarily of aldonic acids. When taking the supplements, if they reach the stomach they will react with the stomach acid and change completely. However, it is also impossible for them to be absorbed into the cells before the stomach either because of their negative charge.

Dont do leg extensions, they destroy your knees
My knee problems were fixed by stretching the hams/hips and high rep (20-50) leg extensions with a slow negative. Suffered about two years from plica syndrome and a slight patellar maltrackingon right knee.
