...Patella-Femoral Pain Syndrome.
One syndrome that physical therapists treat a lot is Patella-Femoral Pain Syndrome or Chondromalacia Patella. If you have achy knees, have difficulty climbing stairs, problems squatting to pick up things from the ground or knee pain when getting up from a low chair or sitting for too long, you probably have Patella-Femoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). The good news is that PFPS responds really well to physical therapy and doing the right combination of rest, stretching and strength training can help get you back to doing everything you want and love to do. To learn all about PFPS and some of the treatments and techniques we use at Blue Hills Sports and Spine, click on the photo above.
