What to Expect When You Visit Us for Knee Pain (PFPS)

When you visit us for patellofemoral pain, we assess your movement patterns, strength, and biomechanics. Treatment focuses on strengthening the hip and knee, improving alignment, and reducing stress on the joint.

Factors Influencing Recovery Speed

↑

Hip-Knee Alignment Work

• Better glute and quadriceps control improves tracking mechanics. • It usually reduces stair and squat discomfort.

Gradual Reloading of Squats / Stairs

• Controlled exposure helps rebuild knee tolerance. • That is often more effective than total avoidance.

↓

High Repetition Knee Irritation

• Too many stairs, jumps or deep squats too early can keep symptoms active. • Repeated irritation slows adaptation.

Poor Movement Strategy

• Dynamic valgus and poor landing control can maintain pain. • Mechanics matter a lot in this condition.

What does the Evidence say?
Exercise therapy, particularly strengthening, is strongly recommended and effective in reducing pain and improving function (Crossley et al., 2016). References Crossley, K. M., van Middelkoop, M., Callaghan, M. J., et al. (2016). Patellofemoral pain consensus statement. British Journal of Sports Medicine, 50(14), 844–852.

How do we estimate outcomes?

We combine insights from published research, our own experience and that of our peers, along with typical treatment timelines and conservative modelling assumptions, to map out common trajectories. The ranges presented reflect our experience only.
