Ouch, is that front-of-the-knee pain slowing you down? 💥 It might be Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS).
As one of the most complex joints in your body, the knee takes a lot of heat! 🦴 In fact, this condition affects 25% of the population and accounts for up to 17% of all recorded knee pain. 📉
What does it feel like? 🤔
Typically, it’s a dull ache right at the front of the knee. You’ll likely feel it most during:
🔹Going up or down stairs 🪜
🔹Squatting or kneeling 🦵
🔹Sitting for long periods of time (the "moviegoer’s knee") 🍿
Why is it happening? 🧐
It’s often about "compressive forces" when the knee bends, but the culprit isn't always the knee itself! Weakness or poor control in the hips 🍑 can throw off the alignment of your whole leg, putting extra stress where you don't want it. 📉
The good news? Strengthening the muscles around your hips and knees can make a world of difference! 💪✨
