“if I had any muscle that needed to be worked on and I had to pick one muscle group it would be that muscle group starting from early teens it is implicated in so many lower extremity injuries um at the hip and the knee a a weak gluteus medius weak abductors um are can cause a lot of injury and I do believe that the stronger they are it's almost like Bones the higher the bone density you get early on y then the higher your glider the longer it that's right because it's going to degenerate it is just going to happen and so the stronger and healthier the tendon is at a starting point”
