See a therapist: You may be doing it incorrectly or aggravating an underlying condition. A physical therapist can perform an assessment and guide you.

Strengthen: quadriceps muscles and tape your kneecap based on the direction it goes when your walk or run. This can be accomplished by seeing a sports training physical therapy program. Also consider taking some supplements like glucosamine, etc. If this isn't helping then consider evaluation by an orthopedic sports medicine specialist.
