Physiotherapy for Chondromalacia Patella

Physiotherapy for Chondromalacia Patella

Do you feel pain behind your kneecap while climbing stairs, sitting for long periods, or squatting? These are classic signs of Chondromalacia Patella, a condition where the cartilage under the kneecap becomes irritated or softened. Many patients search for a β€œphysiotherapist near me” when this pain starts affecting daily movement.

Why It Happens
Weak quadriceps (especially VMO), poor patellar tracking, flat feet, muscle imbalance, overuse, or sudden activity increases can strain the patellofemoral joint.

Common Symptoms

  • Pain while climbing stairs
  • Discomfort after sitting (β€œmovie-goers knee”)
  • Grinding or clicking under the kneecap
  • Pain during deep squats or running

Physiotherapy Treatment

  • Pain relief using IFT, ultrasound, taping
  • VMO strengthening to improve kneecap alignment
  • Hip and glute strengthening to reduce knee load
  • Stretching of tight quads, hamstrings, and IT band
  • Foot posture correction or orthotics if needed
  • Activity modification and movement retraining

With the right rehab plan, most patients return to pain-free movement without surgery.
For expert knee rehabilitation, consult Dr. Deepika Bansal – Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar.
