Malacia is a term used for pain under the knee cap (runners knee). You may strengthen and stretch certain muscles to influence the tracking of your knee cap. The inside muscle of the quadriceps is the vastus medialis. This is activated when your knee is tightened in the straight position. That is why straight leg raising with Leg weights are very beneficial for Chondromalacia.

Strengthening through a bending position activates the larger, lateral muscle of the quadriceps, when this muscle is strong it further pulls the knee cap more laterally, thus further aggravating the condition. There is more compression to the knee cap the further you bend, therefore deep squatting is not advisable. If the lateral hip muscles are tight, they will have an affect on the knee cap. So stretch the hip and hamstrings. Poor foot mechanics such as excessive foot pronation will adversely affect the position of the knee cap. Goode Wraps provide the muscle relaxation to properly stretch the muscles and relieve runners knee.

" I have been having a lot of pain in my left knee for the past 3 weeks so I went to the Dr. I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus and as a result of the torn ligament, I now have water on the knee. I received the Goode knee wrap today and immediately put it on. I couldn't believe how comfortable it was. The amazing part is that I noticed within an hour, my knee felt better than it has for weeks. I'm able to walk much more comfortably and will have no problem wearing the wrap for as long as I want to wear it without it pinching or being uncomfortable. I don't know how the wrap has done it, but it's significantly reduced the pain in my knee and I'm able to walk with just minor discomfort. Just yesterday, I was almost unable to walk at all!!!!!!!"

"As you’ve probably already seen I’m recovering from a reconstruction of both knees I’ve found a great product that has eliminated my knee pain. They do have University Research reports on-line, but being an engineer I figured I’d do my own research. I used the wrap on my right knee and left my left knee as the control group. I’ve been doing this for a little over a week and my right knee feels dramatically better (no more stiffness in the morning, or pain when I sit for long periods). The result of my extensive research: I’m going to get another wrap for my other knee."

One of the big differences between the effects of patella femoral syndrome (that is, tendinitis of the patella--the kneecap), and chondromalacia is that tendinitis sufferers are much better able to locate the pain. Whereas people with chondromalacia may rub their fingers up, down, and around the knee to indicate where it hurts, when you have tendinitis you can put a fingertip right on the spot. It's so tiny and specific that you can put the tip of a ballpoint pen right on the spot and just about levitate yourself into the air with pain. And that spot is right at the bottom of the kneecap, where the tendon that goes on to connect to the shinbone begins--hence the name, patellar tendinitis. It's also called jumper's knee, as it was first described in the takeoff leg of high jumpers. But it turns out that basketball players probably have more jumper's knee than anybody else. You also see it in dancers, runners (and it's very hard to deal with in runners, for some reason), volleyball players--anyone who runs and jumps regularly may suffer from it. And, like chondromalacia, it sneaks up on you, first hurting after your activity, then toward the end of the activity, then during, at the beginning, and finally all the time. It's not nearly as common as chondromalacia-nothing is--but it's more difficult to deal with. It's probably the second most frequent knee injury.
