If everything is balanced out, the knee cap moves up and down the femoral head and we have a happy runner\/cyclist\/lunge specialist.<\/p>\n<p>However, the lateralis muscle often becomes overactive while the medialis gets progressively lazier. It\u2019s as if the medialis looks across to check if the other three quad muscles are working, and if it sees them active, decides to take things easy. (Much like a road crew, one person digs, while five others stare down the hole as if something far greater was taking place).<\/p>\n<p>What to do if you have an overactive lateralis muscle and an underactive medial muscle?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here comes the fascinating part:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are ways of strengthening the medialis muscle. Any leg extension that focuses on the last 15 degrees of movement or so should help- I often advise people to do a variation of that while doing our Runner\u2019s Leg Assessments. (I have a nifty way of doing that if you don\u2019t have a gym contract).<\/p>\n<p>However, research reports that there is also a way of lessening the pull of vastus lateralis, thereby balancing\u00a0\u00a0 the two muscles out, and getting your knee cap to track more evenly over the femoral head.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What interests me, is that this is where acupuncture meets with running dynamics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A paper came out detailing a single acupuncture point, stomach 34, located on the vastus lateralis, that normalizes the function of the muscle. This means that the muscle no longer over pulls as opposed to the vastus medialis, and therefore allows the knee cap to move more correctly in its groove. Small but definite imporovements have been noted with regard to velocity, cadence and stride length.<\/p>\n<p>The point, stomach 34, is located above the lateral border of the knee cap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/stomach-34.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2844\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sbrsport.co.za\/?attachment_id=2844\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/stomach-34.jpg?fit=600%2C461&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,461\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"stomach 34\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/stomach-34.jpg?fit=600%2C461&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2844 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/stomach-34.jpg?resize=300%2C231&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"stomach 34\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/stomach-34.jpg?resize=300%2C231&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/stomach-34.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to the study, one treatment or needling had a positive effect.
