Hi Guys,

Since a few months I got a pain in the left side of my left knee during sports like running, long demanding hiking and recently intense mountain biking.
So I am looking for a good sport physician and/or knee specialist in the Vancouver area because I am pretty new to BC but have the medical services plan.
I don't think this is something serious as it goes away after some time especially with the proper stretching and will most likely result in using foot insoles but consulting a good physician should definitely help.

Thanks,

I went to see Florence Yip a few weeks ago, she diagnosed an ITBS ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_band_syndrome]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_band_syndrome[/url]).
She gave me some stretchings to do daily and so far the pain has gone away (did not do some intense down-hill hike/long running since though).

So thank you Nadia for the advice.
