What Runner’s Knee Therapy Actually Looks Like
Runner’s knee, often called patellofemoral pain, is treatable when you address the real cause.
At Up and Running Physical Therapy, your plan includes a thorough evaluation, strength and mobility work, hands-on treatment, and a smart return-to-run progression.
A common myth is that you just need to rest longer.
Rest alone rarely fixes the problem. The right load, the right exercises, and the right running progression do.
We assess your gait, hip and knee strength, ankle mobility, training load, footwear, and terrain.
Then we build a step-by-step program that reduces pain now and prevents it from coming back.
