Patellofemoral Pain: Understanding and Managing Anterior Knee Pain in Clinical Practice

This is a 5 hour CPD course Patellofemoral Pain: Understanding and Managing Anterior Knee Pain in Clinical Practice (2026 Edition) Patellofemoral pain is one of the most common causes of anterior knee pain seen in clinical practice. Yet despite its prevalence, it remains widely misunderstood, inconsistently labelled, and often poorly managed. This fully rewritten 2026 edition is a comprehensive, evidence-informed professional development course designed for manual therapy practitioners, including remedial massage therapists, myotherapists, Bowen therapists, osteopaths, and other allied health professionals in Australia and the UK. This course strengthens your clinical reasoning around anterior knee pain by exploring contemporary terminology, anatomy and biomechanics, contributing factors, differential diagnosis, multimodal management, exercise-based rehabilitation, and long-term prevention strategies. Rather than focusing on isolated techniques, this module builds a structured framework for assessing and managing patellofemoral pain confidently, safely, and within scope of practice. Why Upgrade? If you previously completed our Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome course, this 2026 edition should be considered an entirely new course. The content has been fully rewritten, expanded, and updated to reflect: • Current international consensus statements • Modern pain science and sensitisation research • Updated terminology and diagnostic clarity • Contemporary load management and rehabilitation strategies • Improved clinical reasoning frameworks This is not a minor refresh — it is a complete redevelopment designed to reflect current best practice. If knee pain presents in your clinic — whether in active adolescents, runners, or general population clients — this course provides the clarity and confidence to manage it effectively.
