Phil. No, no examination. With me it is a sore point that i was never told or shown the correct use of the knees untill I met up with a couple who are in the top twenty world wide. Then once it was pointed out i started to look for myself as well. It had been there all the time, but went right over my head .It has cured a few balance problems. That is the correct use of the knees and the feet. This why i suggested that one has a look for themselves.
