KNEE PAIN - PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN

If you have pain around or under your patella (kneecap) you may be experiencing patellofemoral pain. This is a broad term that describes pain due affecting the mechanism of your knee.
Pain is typically worse with squatting, going up/down the stairs, getting up from a seated position or excessive running. You may experience tightening and malalignment of the patella (knee cap).

To help your pain, stretching and quadriceps strengthening is the first line of defense.

What can you do to help?

Limit kneeling
Take breaks while doing strenuous activities.
Warm up before exercising!
Be active! Reduce the amount of time you sit still.
Strengthen your quadriceps muscles to stabilize your kneecap.
