Do patella bands work?

When should one wear patellar band?

What should I do to avoid patellar tendonitis?

The best treatment for patellofemoral syndrome is to avoid activities that compress the patella against the femur with force. This means avoiding going up and down stairs and hills, deep knee bends, kneeling, step-aerobics and high impact aerobics. Do not wear high heeled shoes.
