Chinese herbs, needles and running injuries

Goodness knows what works - stabbing a needle into my knee seems a bit savage, and of course seems to have no effect. Particularly since the Chinese doctor didn't ask anything about the injury, how it came about etc. Some physio from Pam Smith at the Horsforth practice might do it, since she at least understands the strains. Still not able to run much, and there's the Brass Monkey Half Marathon on 21 January to gear up for - and in May, two teams from top law firm Berwins http://www.berwin.co.uk should have two relay teams in the Leeds Half Marathon Corporate Challenge. Very good at law too...
