Patella femoral Home Exercise Program
Proper treatment of anterior knee pain requires strengthening not just at the knee, but also core strengthening and
hip strengthening to properly align the lower extremity. The below described program has a strong component of
core strengthening to emphasize this.
Day 1: Hip and Knee
Perform two sets of each exercise
Perform between 10-15 repetitions
You should be tired after performing 10-15 repetitions
Perform 3 times per week
1. Hip Hike and Drop
This exercise increases control of the pelvis. While standing on a
box let your foot drop lower by controlling the side to side tilt of
your pelvis. Pull your foot back up by pulling up with your hip
muscles.
