Re: C2 aggravating my knee

Hi, I'm going to provide my 2 cents. My left hip muscles weakened after I injured my knee a few years ago. My physical therapist recommended using using a theraband wrapped around my knee and connected to a stable object to help improve hip strength. My left knee started aching after rowing. I saw i...
