  Physiotherapy is the cornerstone of PFP treatment. Exercises focus on strengthening the quadriceps muscles, improving patellar tracking, and increasing hip and core stability. Tightness in the hamstrings, calves, and iliotibial band can contribute to runner’s knee. Gentle stretching of these muscles will improve flexibility and range of motion. Techniques like massage, mobilisation, and joint mobilisation can help reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and break up scar tissue. Analysing your running technique can identify biomechanical inefficiencies that contribute to patellofemoral pain. Your physiotherapist may suggest changes to your foot strike, cadence, or posture to improve your running form. Taping or using a patellar brace can provide temporary pain relief and support your kneecap during activities. In some cases where foot posture may contribute to PFP, foot orthotics can be considered as a short-term treatment to reduce pain. Consulting a qualified physiotherapist is essent

  Running is a great way to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle, but it can come with its fair share of challenges. One common issue that many runners face is known as “runner’s knee.” It’s a painful condition that can significantly impact your ability to run and enjoy physical activities. Luckily, physiotherapy offers effective treatment options to help you manage and overcome this knee problem. Runner’s knee, medically known as patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFP), is a common injury among runners. It occurs when the cartilage under the kneecap becomes irritated or damaged, leading to pain and discomfort. It’s a frustrating setback that can derail your training and hinder your progress. Common symptoms of runner’s knee? Knee pain associated with patellofemoral pain is typically felt around the patella (knee cap) and can be felt as if the pain is coming from behind the patella. PFP is usually a condition that has been bothering the knees for a longer time, with typically no sin

“Show me how you get out of the chair you are in,” I ask the patient sitting in front of me. “I need to use my arms though!” The lady replies slightly exasperatedly  “That’s fine, show me anyway,” I reply automatically. The patient struggles to vault herself to an upright position from her comfortable recliner.  I quickly congratulate her and then slightly cheekily challenge her to try out of a kitchen chair.  “Oh, I can’t do that without using my arms either!”  “No worries,” I say again. The patient moves across to the slightly harder squarer kitchen chair and flops into it then continues to push herself out of it with her hands.  “When was the last time you could stand without your hands and would you like to be able to again?” I ask.  “Oh, it’s impossible, I haven’t done it for years! I think that is behind me now” the patient answers with a veiled sense of resignation. Defying Limitations: Overcoming Sarcopenia Through Resistance Training This is pretty common. People gi
