Patellofemoral Pain Program: Weeks 4-6

The next few weeks are meant to progress more towards functional weight bearing positions
Goals:
- Establish a light mobility sequence to be completed daily that selects 3-5 movements from the previous exercises that feel most helpful/pain relieving. I will make my recommendations but you can include any others you feel to be particularly helpful
- Progress to more weight bearing loading movements
