We held our 1st inservice of the year last week and it was all about pain around the knee cap. This problem is sometimes called "runner’s knee", and is the common type of knee pain that we would see. Although at times it can be pretty disabling it is normally very treatable.

The main points we took away from the inservice were that:

- Age, weight, height, hip angle, and knee “noise” are not risk factors for developing this problem
- A lack of quads strength may be a risk factor
- It does not tend to get better on it’s own
- A combination of education, strengthening, and possibly movement retraining tend to help most in the longer term
- Sometimes taping/braces and insoles can help, these may have more of a role as a short term solution (like using a crutch or ankle support)
- It can take 3 months or more for the problem to get better with the right management

If you are bothered with pain in this area and it’s affecting your life then get in touch! We would be happy to help get you back on track.
