Runner's Knee
Description
Runner's knee, also known as Patellofemoral pain syndrome, is a common condition that occurs when the patella, or kneecap, moves out of its normal alignment in the patellar groove. This can be caused by various factors, such as overuse, injury, or muscle imbalances. When the patella veers off its path, it can cause friction and irritation, leading to pain and discomfort under or around the kneecap. This pain often increases with activity, such as running, jumping, or squatting, and can also be felt after sitting for long periods of time with the knees bent. Massage therapy and myofascial release can be effective treatments for Runner's knee, as it can help relieve muscle tension and restore tissue mobility, which can ultimately contribute to an increase in flexibility and a reduction in knee pain.
