Module 2
How do I start to Exercise

Remember that knee cap pain is complex and results from many factors. Currently, treatments involving exercise have the strongest evidence that they will reduce your pain and improve your function. However, many people find alternative treatments such as taping/bracing and foot orthotics (shoe insoles) to be helpful. This module will take you through the best evidence-based treatments that are most likely to help you.
