Can Physical Therapy Help The Pain Around My Kneecap?
Pain in and around the kneecap, or "patellofemoral pain" is very common. Symptoms include pain when sitting for a prolonged period of time, such as at a movie, pain when negotiating stairs, or even pain when jumping or running. An evaluation by a physical therapist will include a look at your foot and knee posture, hip and pelvic alignment, hip and lower extremity strength and flexibility. All of these factors can cause patellofemoral pain and is successfully treated with the proper rehabilitation program.
