Do you feel pain around or behind the kneecap while climbing stairs? Does your knee ache after sitting for long periods or during squatting? Do you hear clicking or grinding in the knee? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for persistent knee pain without major injury? These symptoms may indicate chondromalacia patella.
What Is Chondromalacia Patella? Chondromalacia patella refers to the softening and irritation of the cartilage under the kneecap. It commonly affects young adults, runners, and individuals with poor knee alignment, muscle imbalance, or overuse. This condition leads to anterior knee pain, stiffness, and discomfort during activities that load the knee joint.
How Physiotherapy Helps Physiotherapy helps reduce pain and improve kneecap tracking. Treatment focuses on: Strengthening quadriceps, especially the VMO muscle Hip and core strengthening to improve knee alignment Stretching tight thigh and calf muscles Patellar mobility and taping if required Activity modification and load management
What You Can Try at Home Avoid deep squats & prolonged sitting, strengthen thigh & hip muscles, maintain healthy body weight, use supportive footwear, and apply ice after activity if pain increases.
