Patella Malalignment
(2 discussions)
After years of various joint/arthritis problems, I was recently told that one of my problems is a malalignment of the patella, which the dr. told me I was born with.
He is recommending McConnell taping and other physical therapy.
My question is this: If I was BORN with this dislocation, is it even possible at this point in my life (I’m 46) to fix it via physical therapy?

A good PT program can work wonders – even at the ripe old age of 46!

I agree…your NEVER too old to strengthen. You need some good strenthening of your quads to improve the alignment of your patella. Give it a shot…what do you have to lose?
