Introduction
Physical Therapy in Venice for Knee
Welcome to FYZICAL Venice's patient resource about Patellofemoral Problems.
The patella, or kneecap, can be a source of knee pain when it fails to function properly. Alignment or overuse problems of the patella can lead to wear and tear of the cartilage behind the patella. This produces pain, weakness, and swelling of the knee joint. Several different problems can affect the patella and the groove it slides through in the knee joint. These problems can affect people of all ages.
This guide will help you understand:
- how the kneecap works
- why kneecap problems develop
- what can be done to treat these problems
