Learn the King of Hip Openers: Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana) Yoga handles stiff hips in a variety of ways, but most directly through a family of poses that are known loosely as “hip openers.”
Some hip openers increase the external, or outward, rotation of the femur bone in the hip socket. Others lengthen the psoas muscle, a primary hip flexor connecting the torso and legs that gets chronically shortened in our chair-bound society.

This condition has a number of names including ''Patello-femoral Pain Syndrome'' & "Runners Knee". The problem occurs between the patella (kneecap) and the femur (thigh bone). Under normal circumstances the kneecap presses against the lower portion of the thigh bone when the knee is in a bent position. During running or any step, squat or landing & jumping activity, the kneecap moves up and down or ''tracks'' against the thigh bone and in so doing, acts as a fulcrum, which provides a mechanical advantage for the front thigh muscles (the quadriceps).
High forces are produced between the kneecap and thigh bone during such activities (see figure 1). This can amount to body weight magnified several times due to the velocities and leverages that are in play across the knee. So what can cause the kneecap to track abnormally? Ground.
