Front-of-knee pain stopping you from staying active?
Patellofemoral joint pain is one of the most common — and most treatable — causes of front knee pain. KC Health Services will find out what's driving it and get you back to full activity.
Does this sound familiar?
Front knee pain that flares up with activity
Patellofemoral joint pain — pain around or behind the kneecap — often builds gradually and worsens with squatting, running, stairs or sitting for long periods. It rarely resolves without addressing the underlying movement and loading patterns driving it.
Our approach
Find the cause. Fix the loading pattern. Stay active.
Patellofemoral pain is rarely about the knee in isolation. We assess your whole lower limb — hip strength, foot mechanics and movement patterns — to address what's actually driving the pain.
Step 01
Thorough Assessment
A detailed evaluation of your knee, hip strength and movement patterns to identify exactly what's driving your pain.
Step 02
Targeted Treatment
Hands-on physiotherapy and a structured exercise program tailored to your specific diagnosis, lifestyle and goals.
Step 03
Progressive Loading
A graded strengthening program based on exercise science principles that rebuilds capacity and control around the joint.
Step 04
Return to Activity
Getting you back to running, training or daily life — not just pain-free, but stronger and more resilient than before.
