Understanding kinematics and kinetics is crucial for knee health. Patellofemoral pain often coexists with other knee issues. MRI findings must be matched with functional movement. The soleus plays a significant role in knee function. Many diagnosed with tendinopathy may actually have patellofemoral pain. Compression in the knee can lead to increased wear and tear. Treatment options should be tailored to individual needs. Surgical options exist but vary in effectiveness. Loading the tendon and cartilage is essential for recovery.   Patellofemoral Joint Protocol:  https://jess-elis-s-school1.teachable.com/a/aff_l9jd3kpd/external?affcode=1653451_hksb4f5s Rehab Code: https://www.therehabcode.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rehab_code/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/rehabcode?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaclQqSRaEdilxSZtc4GugYpJ-vgCpSk9o27MRgnr1fYbmVuCHvmsZaqD96xOA_aem_SmIz4cOqMV6iGFi6kHmsyw Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-177-tendon-cartilage-part-2-with-jess-elis/
