Runner’s knee pain, also known as Patello-Femoral Pain Syndrome, is an overuse injury where the tissues are overloaded beyond their ability to recover.

Sunil is an accomplished marathon runner and squash player. If he is not out running long distances every morning, he is usually found in the squash court. He was wanting to break the three-hour barrier in the marathon. He picked up a program from the Internet and started increasing his weekly mileage. Then his right knee started to bother him. As days went by, he started experiencing knee pain while going down the stairs or getting up from a chair. He could not go though his day without his knee bothering him. His running was getting affected as the knee pain would not let him run at his usual pace.
