Our new paper in @FrontSportsAL is now available. We observed how a 2-week neuromuscular exercise programme affected biopsychosocial measures in people with PFP. Unlike what has been observed in healthy populations, little changed in this cohort. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

IMO the most important publication this year on Patellofemoral pain. Patient experience on Diagnosis & management. Diagnosis is essential and validates their pain. Management needs to be tailored. Education empowers patients. Thank you @DrBradNeal @simonthephysio @DrDylanM
