RUNNERS KNEE
Runner’s knee, also known as Patellofemoral pain syndrome, is a frequent ailment that produces discomfort at the front of the knee, especially where the patella (kneecap) meets the femur (thighbone). It frequently affects runners, but it can also happen to anybody who takes part in sports that entail repeated knee bending and impact. Runner’s knee can develop due to a number of circumstances and it’s best to consult with a specialist for a proper treatment plan. At Run Ready, we provide a unique sports physiotherapy model that delivers a professional standard rehabilitation experience. We optimise recovery from all types of injuries via an integrated process of sports physiotherapy and rehab in our state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility.

RUNNERS KNEE TREATMENT
Running, descending stairs, or sitting for lengthy periods of time with the knees bent all entail bending the knee, and these activities can aggravate discomfort around or below the patella. Ignoring runner’s knee might result in persistent discomfort and further problems. Consult with a medical expert immediately.
Our expert team thoroughly assess injuries using VALD testing equipment, giving unparalleled insight into injury risk, physical deficits and goal setting.
We want to provide our local athletes with professional level sports rehabilitation through our sports physio programs, helping them return to the sport they love.
