Hey Brandon, What reproduces this pain? There are several structures that can create pain in this area, so I want to make sure to recommend the best strategies. 

Hi Mike, I'm sorry to hear about the runner's knee you have been dealing with. This type of pain usually comes from the patellofemoral joint (joint behind the kneecap). I would recommend implementing the exercises in the patellofemoral joint pain program here in the app. Here is a link for that program.

Also, here is a YouTube video I created recently on runner's knee:

If the OA is behind the patella, which often happens with patellar tracking issues, I would recommend implementing exercises for patellofemoral joint pain. These often help relieve pain and improve function. Also, patellar taping can help reduce pain, if the pain is primarily coming from the patellofemoral joint. 

Here is the link to the patellofemoral joint pain program here in the app.

Denisa Filadelfiova I'm happy to help and glad to hear that your symptoms are too severe. Please let me know of any questions that come up along the way. 

Hi Michelle, I'm sorry that I am just now seeing this! For some reason, I didn't get a notification about this message. Based on our call on Wednesday, are you feeling more confident about which program to follow in the membership?

Hi Linda, I hope to be able to chat with you in an office hours session one day soon! You are so right that it is important for us to be mindful of the movements and postures that we regularly engage with in our normal lives. If pain changes when going on vacation or doing something different, then we have to step back and think about what might be happening in our regular life that might be stirring up pain.
