Is my legs unbalanced?Hi I was doing Cross Crountry and Track at my College and I had a injury in Jan 2010, and i pulled my Left IT band which caused pain near my left hip area when I ran, I ended u geting physical therapy and the pain went away. I stop running for a while and now my right knee hurts when I run and forces me to stop at a certain limit of my run and i end up walking the rest of the way. Is my legs uneven? and If so which leg is shorter/longer? What Is are my options for treatment? Thanks.

While I'm not a doctor, years ago when I broke my leg I ended up with a leg muscle imbalance. The only good fix was in a training room where my therapist had me do one leg workouts. The reasoning is that if you do both legs at the same time the stronger legs just stays stronger and they never balance. (They might over time but who wants to wait that long.) Doing one leg work outs controls this allowing you to work the weaker leg harder as needed.
