Abstract

The optimum long-term treatment for patellofemoral pain is uncertain, although current assessments and treatments emphasize physiological functioning and education above biological or tissue pathology. The 27-year-old man experienced patellofemoral pain for four years despite little physiotherapy management. Many doctors urged him to avoid excessive exertion, stopping him from enjoying sports. A month of 12 physiotherapy management and Blood Flow Restriction treatments reduced the patient's symptoms by 1%. This case study highlights the necessity for more significant research on patellofemoral pain workouts with physiotherapy and blood flow constraints.
