Today's episode covers patellofemoral joint pain and strategies that can be implemented to help relieve pain and improve your functional ability.
Patellofemoral joint pain syndrome (PFPS) describes a very common condition in which a person experiences pain just behind the kneecap. Pain associated with this condition is usually reproduced with activities that put more stress on the joint, such as running, climbing stairs, squatting or prolonged sitting.
Successful treatment of this condition revolves around temporary behavior modification, such as reducing running mileage and avoiding periods of prolonged sitting. Incorporating exercises that strengthen the hip (glutes) and knee (quads) muscles is also important.
If you are experiencing pain at the front of the knee with some of the activities mentioned above, I have created a FREE PDF that will teach you some of the best exercises to implement. Visit my podcast page and subcribe to access this free resource.
My book has a more comprehensive patellofemoral pain syndrome rehab program that guides you through three phases of rehab and has picture of me doing all of the exercises. Click HERE to learn more about my book.
