CRYSC Head Athletic Trainer, Julie Graves has seen an increase in Patellafemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) among adolescent athletes. This condition presents with general knee pain that can be sharp with certain movements and dull at other times. It normally is a gradual onset of pain without remembering a specific mechanism of injury or when the pain started. When diagnosed early, PFPS can be treated with at-home rehab or, if serious enough, formal physical therapy.UCHealth + CU Sports Medicine and Orthopedics has a variety of different locations to help your child get back to the soccer field at 100%. If this is something you think your child may be dealing with, please reach out to our Head Athletic Trainer, Julie Graves, for assistance. Below is the at-home rehab program for PFPS.
