I've never heard of this. It sounds interesting. I use a lot of watkins red liniment on my knee's, thighs, calves and back. More for muscle aches and stiffness. The bilateral muscles on my knees are week so I'm trying to strengthen them with bike riding. I know what you mean about favoring one leg over he other. I'm a cake decorator and after standing in one position for a long time I need to mentally stop and adjust my stance. I wish I was doing it more often.
