Welcome to our first episode in English. We've been producing content in German for our audience of physiotherapists and healthcare professionals, but we're expanding our reach to also serve international listeners and to collaborate with an expert from across the Channel. Today's topic is one that nearly every physiotherapist encounters in their practice: Patellofemoral Pain. It's one of the most prevalent knee conditions we see, yet it remains clinically challenging and sometimes frustrating to manage. Joining us to discuss this topic is Dr. Bradley Neal, an Advanced Clinical Academic Fellow in Precision Musculoskeletal Medicine at Queen Mary University of London's Sports & Exercise Medicine Centre. He has published in leading peer-reviewed journals including the British Journal of Sports Medicine, and he runs Team PFP – a resource dedicated to patellofemoral pain. 📝 Topics in this episode: Fundamentals: What is Patellofemoral Pain? Risk Factors and Etiology of PFP Assessment and Diagnosis Treatment and Rehabilitation – What Works?
