Welcome to my knee cap pain
We are a team of researchers from the Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine at Queen Mary University of London. We have developed this website to help you manage your knee cap pain. We have developed a 4 module online course to help you with your knee cap pain. Please watch the following video to meet Dr Simon Lack, a physiotherapist who has treated and researched knee cap pain for many years, for an introduction to this new resource.
Statement of Intent
The information presented on these pages and within the modules has been developed with input from patients and researchers from La Trobe University’s Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre, Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) and Queen Mary University London’s Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine. Funding has been award for this project from The Rosetrees Trust and The Stoneygate Trust.
These resources are not intended to serve as a prescribed standard of medical care. Standards of care are determined on the basis of all clinical data available for an individual patient and are subject to change as scientific knowledge and technology advance and patterns of care evolve. These resources have been developed to inform practice and should be considered guidance only. Following advice on this site will not ensure a successful outcome in every patient, nor should it be construed as including all proper methods of care or excluding other acceptable methods of care aimed at the same results. The ultimate judgment regarding a particular clinical procedure or treatment plan must be made by the clinician, based on clinician experience, expertise and in light of the clinical presentation of the patient, the available evidence, available diagnostic and treatment options, and the patient’s values, expectations, and preferences.
