Скачать или смотреть Patellofemoral Pain Explained | Causes, Symptoms & Physio Treatment Options

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common knee conditions we treat at BodyWorx Physiotherapy, especially at our Newcastle and Nelson Bay clinics.

Often felt as a dull ache behind or around the kneecap, this condition can also come with joint tightness or swelling, particularly when a Baker’s cyst is involved.

Common causes of patellofemoral pain:
🔹 Tight ITB or outer quads
🔹 Weak glutes and inner quads (VMO)
🔹 Overpronation of the feet
🔹 A naturally increased Q-angle (hip-to-knee alignment)

Signs & symptoms:
Pain when squatting, kneeling, or going down stairs

Stiffness behind the knee

Discomfort after sitting for long periods

Swelling or pressure behind the knee joint

Our treatment approach:
✅ Hands-on treatment (massage, joint mobilisations)
✅ Dry needling for muscle tension
✅ Foam rolling & mobility work
✅ Targeted strength exercises
✅ Taping, bracing or orthotics
✅ Modifications to your training or daily routine
