Couldn’t make it to the LIVE “Knee Pain Workshop” on 5-14-20 at the clinic…?

Not to worry! We recorded the whole thing!

Check out the full video recording in the video below.

When it comes to the knee, there are quite a few structures that can be involved and that can potentially be contributing to your pain.

This includes the joints, ligaments, muscles and a few other structures, which I’ll list below and cover in detail in the video.

Here’s the bottom line: you’ll want to be familiar with these structures when you’re trying to eliminate your knee pain.

As a PT, I can rule out involvement of most structures within several minutes, but it’s a bit tricky on your own.

Here’s a detailed description of the various structures, and there’s more info in the video as well:

Patello-femoral (PF) joint pain is the most common cause of knee pain that we help people with in the clinic. The PF joint refers to your kneecap (the patella) gliding up and down a shallow groove in your thigh bone (the femur).

In today’s blog, I’ll give you more background on the various causes of PF joint pain, as well as some simple tips to start reducing your pain.

At the end, I’ll also share a video demonstration of the top 5 exercises for helping eliminate this pain.

Have you gotten to the point where you’ve had it with your knee pain? Have simple activities like going for a walk or going up and down your stairs become excruciating?

Sounds great, right? But like most major surgeries, a portion of people will experience complications.
