Patellofemoral pain syndrome

What causes patellofemoral pain syndrome?

Patellofemoral pain syndrome sometimes called “Runner’s Knee” describes knee pain in and around the kneecap (patella) as a result of the kneecap rubbing on the thigh bone (femur bone) underneath due to either overuse, trauma or weak quad muscles.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome symptoms

Patellofemoral pain syndrome symptoms are: Pain at front of knee around the kneecap which may worsen when sitting for a long time, walking up and down stairs or squatting; possible knee swelling, knee sore to touch, and sometimes a cracking in knee sound on bending the knee. Patellofemoral pain syndrome can be associated with Chondromalacia patellae.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome treatment

Your physiotherapist will physically assess and test painful movements and muscle strength, assess biomechanics, use hand on physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, dry needling, and taping. Provide and advise exercises for patellofemoral pain syndrome via our exercise prescription software Salaso. Prescribe orthotics, knee supports, patellar tape, foam roller and resistance bands.

Client Testimonials

Having been dogged with injury I decided to have a full prehab/FMS screen with Colette at Imokilly Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic. My starting score was 12/21 which placed me in a high risk injury bracket but by doing my corrective exercises, I not only played through the whole season un-injured but I also got my score up to 17/21 by the end.

I had spent a significant amount of money elsewhere on unwearable orthotics, before coming to Imokilly Physiotherapy Clinic. The orthotics I got here are by far the most comfortable to wear, and I wouldn't put a pair of shoes on without them!

Having had a long long history of back-pain which was then managed surgically with a dynamic fusion I was nervous about commencing any exercise. My neurosurgeon recommended that I attend a physiotherapist-led clinical Pilates class and I was lucky to find Sarah. Her entire approach is aimed at individualised rehabilitation, namely the individual assessment, tailored exercise programmes, small classes and follow-up emails. The standard of Pilates service is far superior to a fitness-based drop in class, and hence ideal for those with injuries.

Chronic Achilles tendinopathy was limiting my ability to progress my marathon training and I knew that I had to tackle it properly to allow it to heal. Although it was frustrating to step back from training, I am now running painfree and hoping for a marathon PB
