@plasticniki if your knee actually needs to be worked on, I can thoroughly recommend Steve here: http://www.cadenceacupuncture.co.uk/
He sorted me and many others out whilst I worked at Rapha. I think about ten of us were seeing him at once. I had long distance induced knee pain after riding to and from BCM, as well as riding it. I was doing my RRtY that year and also a Cent Cols Challenge that year so I needed it fixed, quick. After six sessions in a three weeks period it the pain was genuinely gone.
I never stretched, did gym work or really took care of my legs. Turns out my left quad wasn’t at all happy and both of my legs and glutes were incredibly tight. He showed me diagrams etc of how the quad attaches to the knee and why it was causing my knee pain. If you can stand needles, it really, really works. I also think there’s great pleasure in a needle releasing tension. Feels like an elastic band being skipped when it’s pulled really tight.
