Runner's knee (PFPS)
Prevalence · Common in distance runners
Diffuse pain around or behind the kneecap, worse going downhill or down stairs.
Typical course of care
8 – 10 sessions over 6 – 8 weeks
Most patients see meaningful change inside the first three sessions. We re-test two markers every visit and adjust the plan in writing.

Roughly one in eight assessments at Holistic Physio is for a case like runner's knee (pfps).

How we treat it
Hip and quad strength work, running cadence review, and progressive load management — not rest. We refit you back into your training plan.
We measure baseline range, strength, and one functional task at the first visit, then re-test two of the three markers every session after.
