Book Free Consultation →Patellofemoral pain syndrome — pain around or behind the kneecap — is the most common knee condition in active adults and adolescents, affecting an estimated 25% of the general population at some point according to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2018). It is particularly prevalent in runners, cyclists, and anyone whose activity involves repeated knee bending — and it has a significant impact on training, sport and everyday activities like climbing stairs and prolonged sitting.
