@advancedathletics My hips are super tight, and ever since realizing that I've been stretching them every day. I also discovered that the gluteus medius on the side which has the knee problem is weaker than the other side. I am working on that also. I am a volleyball player, and I think all the jumping has created an imbalance in the muscles.
It's great that you have been able to recognize your tight hips, weak glute med, and how they relate to your knee. Keep working on them, and I'm sure you will be all the better as a volleyball player. Best of luck!
Ivan, improve the flexibility in your hips, and strengthen your glutes. That will help take the pressure off your knees.
Good luck!

I believe this to be one of the causes of my knee pain - osgood schlatter's / apophysitis, even though I am a young adult already. Foam roller FTW.
