Patellofemoral pain syndrome may also result from overuse or overload of the PF joint. For this reason, knee activity should be reduced until the pain is resolved. [26] [27] There is consistent but low quality evidence that exercise therapy for PFPS reduces pain, improves function and aids long-term recovery. [28]
Tentative evidence supports exercises involving eccentric muscle contractions of the quadriceps on a decline board. [13] [14] Specific exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles and tendons may be recommended, e.g. cycling or swimming. Use of a strap for jumper's knee and suspension inlays for shoes may also reduce the problems.

A 1992 study concluded that 73% of workers aged 20 to 50 years have a right rounded shoulder, [3] and 66% of them have a left rounded shoulder. [3] It is commonly believed that digitalisation [ 4 ] combined with the improper use of digital devices have resulted in the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles, which contribute to bad posture.

The lifter stands erect, hands about shoulder width apart, and slowly raises the shoulders as high as possible, and then slowly lowers them, while not bending the elbows, or moving the body at all.
