Kneecap Pain
Patellofemoral joint pain syndrome (PFPS) describes a very common condition in which a person experiences pain just behind the kneecap. Pain associated with this condition can range from being sharp to dull/achy in nature and is usually reproduced with activities that put increasing stress on the joint, such as running, climbing stairs, squatting or prolonged sitting.
Successful treatment of this condition revolves around temporary behavior modification, such as reducing running mileage and avoiding periods of prolonged sitting and incorporating exercises that target the large gluteal muscles of the hip region.
