Pain centered on the kneecap and its surrounding structures.
Many people experience problems with the patellofemoral joint, the joint between the kneecap and the femur. Excessive forces on the underside of the kneecap, quadriceps tendinitis, and patellar tendonitis are three common causes of pain at the front of the knee.
Anterior knee pain can also stem from chondromalacia, a softening of the cartilage under the kneecap. These conditions are frequently driven by overuse combined with weak hip strength.
Treatment often combines Physical Therapy, taping or bracing the knee and hip, and targeted eccentric or hip-stabilization exercises based on your therapist's evaluation.
Addressing the hip weakness behind the kneecap pain.
Because weak hip strength so often drives anterior knee pain, treatment targets both the knee and the hip together, alongside taping or bracing strategies as needed.
