Do you feel pain around or behind your kneecap while running? Does going downstairs, squatting, or sitting for long periods make the pain worse? Have you reduced your running because of recurring knee discomfort? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for runner's knee? Physiotherapy can help address the underlying movement problems and support a safe return to running.
Why Does Runner's Knee Occur?
Patellofemoral pain syndrome can develop when repeated running places excessive stress on the kneecap and surrounding tissues. Sudden increases in training, weak hip or thigh muscles, poor movement mechanics, or inadequate recovery can contribute to symptoms.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on reducing pain and improving lower limb mechanics. Treatment focuses on:
β’ Quadriceps and hip strengthening
β’ Knee and ankle mobility exercises
β’ Movement and running assessment
β’ Balance and stability training
β’ Gradual return-to-running programs
What You Can Try at Home
Reduce running intensity temporarily, avoid sudden increases in training, strengthen your hips and thighs, wear appropriate footwear, and allow adequate recovery between sessions.
For specialised care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised sports physiotherapy to reduce knee pain, improve running mechanics, and help you return to running safely.
