Knee Cap Pain

Pain through the front part of the knee around the kneecap is termed patella femoral pain or PFP. Poor biomechanics of the lower limbs will often predispose athletes to injuries here. Reduced quadriceps length, poor inner quad control, poor calf and glute med and max strength has been shown scientifically to increase the forces around and behind the kneecap thus leading to kneecap pain.
