One joint has muscle imbalance between GM and LS. It will make joint surface degenerative change which will make joint pain. Conclusion : Joint therapy is not only joint mobilization but also biomechanics of joint and GM's and LS's role. Total knee of hip joint replacement is not perfect. Before surgery have to be find out problem solving method within the physical medicine.
