Patellofemoral Pain
————————————————

A gradual onset of frontal knee pain caused by high frequency and duration activities like running, climbing stairs etc.
Patellofemoral pain can persist for UP TO 20 YEARS!!!..if not treated
Patients stopping physical activity completely lead to weight gain further increasing the joint load.
Taping alone is not an effective treatment.
Squat mechanics
————————————————

Strengthening the muscles in the hip and thigh region is an effective treatment.
-Hinging at the hips and loading the hips rather than the knee has be major focus during squats.
-Knees exceeding past the point of your feet increases the load on the patellofemoral joint.

Individualized Periodization
🔸🔸🔸
The picture on the right is me 2 years ago.
Was I not working hard?
🚨🚨🚨
“Periodization” is the concept of systematic progression.
Training follows a predictable pattern of change in training variables, however ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL.
What works for me may or may not work for you.
Individualizing a plan in accordance to one’s goal, functionality and ability is what brings progress.
🔸🔸🔸
Build a plan so you don’t waste your efforts.
We all work hard. Let’s make sure we also work smart.
