Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Symptoms

3. Pain When Squatting
Another way of getting into a low-down position is to squat. This basically means balancing on your feet while your knees are bent almost fully, with your buttocks almost reaching the ground while your torso remains upright. Squatting is also a popular exercise technique that helps to strengthen the muscles in the legs, especially when heavy weights are used.
If you do work out, though, and you have patellofemoral syndrome, then you will likely need to avoid doing any squats. It is a movement that is very demanding on the knees and it is likely to cause some pain, while also maybe making the condition worse.
