is that I got a back injury from a yoga teacher, and that is when I started having this "frozen" knee issue.
I think it is connected to the torn meniscus which had happened couple of years later, but of course I cannot know, can only speculate...

these are the exercises I do --



he also has exercises for hip, neck, etc.

oh funny: when I searched for the above link, a link came up for the Morgan Massage:
"The following 8 exercises are taken from Treat Your Own Knee by Robin McKenzie, a New Zealand born Physiotherapist whose McKenzie Method is currently the most studied diagnostic treatment system for back pain. This exercise program will give you an opportunity to treat your own knee pain and regain pain-free movement."

so there you go.. we are both doing the same exercises!

They are wonderful aren't they?
I got a lot of good from physical therapy (8-9 months!).
But then I reached a point where no improvement was happening, and someone turned me on to these exercises.
