Prevention of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is usually fully relieved with simple measures or physical therapy. It may recur, however, if you do not make adjustments to your training routine or activity level. It is essential to maintain appropriate conditioning of the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and the hamstrings.

There are additional steps that you can take to prevent recurrence of patellofemoral knee pain. They include:

Wearing shoes appropriate to your activities

Warming up thoroughly before physical activity

Incorporating stretching and flexibility exercises for the quadriceps and hamstrings into your warm-up routine, and stretching after physical activity

Increasing training gradually

Reducing any activity that has hurt your knees in the past

Maintaining a healthy body weight to avoid overstressing your knees
