Runner’s Knee

Patellofemoral pain — pain around or behind the kneecap that worsens with stairs, hills, and sitting — is one of the most common running complaints, and it is usually a loading and mechanics problem rather than joint damage.

What to Expect

Your physician examines your knee, hip strength, and running mechanics, then builds a plan around load management and targeted strengthening of the hip and thigh, with hands-on treatment and a graded return to running.
