Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, commonly known as Runner’s Knee, is a condition characterized by pain around or behind the kneecap, often aggravated by activities like running, squatting, or climbing stairs. It typically results from imbalances in the muscles supporting the kneecap and may involve factors such as overuse, malalignment, or muscular weaknesses contributing to increased stress on the patellofemoral joint.

To alleviate Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, individuals may use patellar straps or knee braces designed to provide support and stabilize the kneecap during movement. Additionally, foam rollers or massage balls can be employed for self-myofascial release to address muscular tightness or imbalances that may contribute to the condition.
