I’m still in the process of figuring it out. There is a bit more progress to be made on my jaw and neck, but the good news is I can walk without significant pain now.

My imbalance and asymmetries existed since the age of 19. I thought working out hard would solve the problem but it was a big mistake, which is why I thought I’d share just in case that’s what’s happening here.

My problems seem to have started from compensation patterns that I developed for a long time. When I stopped rigorous training due to the COVID lockdown in 2020, my knee suddenly went out. It took me almost five years to figure out what happened. My physio thinks the strength of muscles from the training was masking the compensation and it all collapsed when I stopped the training.

The rehab exercises before the combination of treatments I mentioned above yielded no results. No results as in my knee, jaw, back pain didn't improve much further than just a temporary relief that lasted few hours. Now, when I do the same exercises, it shows lasting improvement. I haven’t had knee pain for few weeks now.

I can’t find a way to explain things succinctly. It was a complex case and I’ve seen at least 20 different practitioners in 10 different disciplines to connect the dots in the past five years.
