- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome -

Our registered physiotherapists and chiropractors in Markham & Newmarket need to perform a thorough knee examination to determine the root cause of your particular PFPS.

The root of PFPS can stem from the hip weakness, knee instability, or overpronation in the feet.

Treatments that the physiotherapists and chiropractors will be dependent on the root cause: soft tissue therapy, exercise prescription, rehabilitation exercises in-office, kinesiotaping.

Our treatments always take place in confidential and private therapy rooms. We also believe in a hands-on manual approach with a focus on soft tissue muscle release.

Orthopaedic Bracing in the form of knee braces are required when the cause of the PFPS stems from the knee itself. This is usually a result of “lateral patellar tracking” where the knee cap moves too much during movements like squating and bending.

A proper fitting and good quality knee brace can help with stabilizing the knee cap (patella) to allow patients to perform more day-to-day activities with less chance of re-injury.

At Runway Health in Markham and Newmarket, we want to ensure an orthopaedic brace is perfectly fitted for each patient. That’s why a brace examination and fitting appointment is scheduled with each patient who requires an orthopaedic knee brace.
