Do you experience pain in your knee during or after activities such as running, squatting, or climbing stairs?
If so, you may have patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). PFP accounts for 11-17% of all knee pain presentations to general practice, and it typically occurs in physically active people aged <40 years.
It is a very debilitating condition in jumping athletes, with previous research indicating that 1/3 of athletes presenting with the condition were unable to return to sport within 6 months.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common problem that can, fortunately, be effectively managed with physiotherapy.
So if you are experiencing pain in and around your knee cap, you should consult a physiotherapist for a professional biomechanical assessment and treatment plan.
