Chrondomalcia Patella

Evening, I have a question. My girlfriend has Chodromalacia Patella… is there any disadvantages with her training? She use/wants to be a gymnast but her knee is making her think otherwise. What do you reckon she should do in this position? Thank you :slight_smile:

Hey Luke,

Can you provide some background regarding your girlfriend’s case? How old is she? What led to seek out consult? What narratives has she been provided regarding Chondromalacia Patella?

@Michael_Ray Mike, he seems to have dropped out of the forum, but I am interested as qwell - is Chondromalacia patellae ever a counter-indication for resistance training (with heavy barbells)? Maybe just after diagnosys of certain stage of the condition?

Thanks!

Hey @alex.starbuck , not to my knowledge. There are not contraindications to exercise when provided the diagnosis of CMP. This diagnosis is also poorly linked to prognosis and symptoms.
