    Great information. I have nearly complete VM activation failure (post-surgical; 3rd ACL replacement & extensive OA currently) and have to find some options to work on it as I am closing in quickly on a replacement. I am hoping to find a few things that will help me alleviate this issue as much as possible prior to surgery. ROM (and IT issues) have nearly sidelined me. TY!
