Runner’s knee, or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, is an umbrella term that basically just means knee pain. There are many causes of knee pain, and it’s best to figure out the source so that it can be treated properly.

Very often, alignment plays a major role in the development of knee pain, so it’s important to make sure that the feet, ankles, knees, and hips are aligned and moving functionally, especially for those who run, play sports, or do any other high impact activities. In addition, anyone who trains excessively is at greater risk for runner’s knee. The same is true for those who don’t sufficiently warm up before, and stretch after exercise. Pain can also develop from sitting for long periods, especially with crossed legs.

If you have knee pain, please consult your doctor before doing this self-massage.
