Runners Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)

Runner’s knee, or patellofemoral pain syndrome (pfps), is a common condition that causes pain around or behind the kneecap, often worsened by activities such as running, squatting, climbing stairs, or prolonged sitting. It is typically caused by poor biomechanics, muscle imbalances, overuse, or misalignment of the kneecap, leading to increased stress on the patellofemoral joint.

Symptoms may include aching pain, stiffness, and a grinding or clicking sensation in the knee, which can impact performance and daily activities. If left untreated, runner’s knee can lead to chronic discomfort and further joint issues.

At The Foot Room, we assess runner’s knee through our biomechanical pathway, using advanced gait analysis to identify movement patterns contributing to the condition. Treatment may include custom orthotics, strengthening and stretching exercises, gait retraining, footwear recommendations, and offloading techniques to reduce strain on the knee and improve long-term function. Whether you’re a recreational jogger or a competitive athlete, we can help you recover and prevent future knee pain.
