Knee Pain Sans Injury: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Many athletes will suffer from some form of knee pain even without having experienced an injury. Frustratingly enough, just light wear of the cartilage under the kneecap can cause discomfort and hinder an athlete’s performance and training. The most common cause of knee pain in athletes who haven’t experienced an injury is patellofemoral pain syndrome, or runner’s knee.
Is Patellofemoral Syndrome Causing Your Knee Pain?
Patellofemoral syndrome is different than arthritis of the patella, caused by long term wear. Those suffering from patellofemoral syndrome will often experience the following symptoms:
-
Knee pain – especially when sitting for long periods of time, climbing or descending stairs, jumping and engaging in other activities that cause you to quickly bend and straighten your knees.
-
Some sufferers may have instances where their knees give out and momentarily fail to support their body weight.
- Pops or grinding sounds emanating from the knee during activity.
Relief From Patellofemoral Syndrome
Treatment of patellofemoral syndrome is often crucial for an athlete to return to their maximum ability. Most cases can be relieved with physical therapy and strength training. If the pain is caused by muscle imbalance, specified muscle-building techniques are usually employed to correct the imbalance. Stretching the large muscles In front of the thigh can also help relieve excessive pressure in the patellofemoral joint, which contributes to this type of pain. Additionally, those suffering from patellofemoral syndrome are encouraged to give their knees a break. If a daily activity results in a lot of pain, find simple ways to make it less severe on your knees. For instance, use a supportive brace when running to lessen the impact.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Right now it looks like Drupal is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Hey there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price? Kudos, I appreciate it!
I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be what precisely I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome web site!
Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!
Right now it seems like Movable Type is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Kudos
I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Outstanding work!
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could certainly be one of the best in its niche. Very good blog!

Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Thanks!
There is obviously a lot to realize about this. I assume you made some nice points in features also.
This design is steller! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
I like what you guys are up too. Such clever work and reporting! Carry on the superb works guys I¡¦ve incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it’ll improve the value of my website 🙂
Amazing! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!
