It takes 6-8 weeks to change tissue (strengthen or lengthen).

It takes 6-8 seconds to fix a derangement. You have a derangement. The strengthening and lengthening helps maintain you in your corrected position, but first you have to correct yourself.

Ask the PT to show you how to fix yourself. He must know these basic moves. There are a gazillion for the area you are having trouble with. He just needs to look at it until he figures out which one you need. (The scissor he has you doing is nice, but it sounds like you need flex-rotate more. Ask him to show you.)

I am certainly NOT a great therapist! Pika and Wahine are the great ones, and I'm sorry they aren't on TE much anymore.

I'm guessing you lock your knees a lot. Try stopping that. Unlock your knees. Tuck your butt under. Pull your lower belly flat. You will probably feel your tight hip flexors trying to force you to pop your butt out and flop your belly forward, fight them. Walking around in corrected posture instead of doing the Betty Boop is the best and fastest way I know of to lengthen tight hip flexors and relieve knee stress. Stretching and strengthening is fine, but if you don't address the habitual positioning issues, the changes don't stay.
