"Runners knee" (Patellofemoral Pain) is a term some people use to refer to a number of medical conditions that can cause pain around the front of the knee (patellofemoral pain). These conditions include anterior knee pain syndrome, patellofemoral malalignment and chondromalacia patella.
Runners knee (Patellofemoral Pain), will eventually go away if the person who is affected refrains from running until it can be done without pain. During this time other exercises that are not painful can be continued. Some of the better exercises that are acceptable during this time might include swimming, rowing and bike riding, but only if no pain is present. It is also very important during this time to do exercises that will stretch the muscles in the hamstring and quadriceps or front of the thighs. This will help to strengthen the vastus medialis, which is the inner thigh muscle that pulls the kneecap inward. Using arch supports in both work out shoes and street shoes has also been known to help. If possible have the shoe supports custom made to help correct runners knee condition.
Runners knee (Patellofemoral Pain) usually gets better with early treatment and reconditioning, lots of rest and RICE.
