Chondromalacia: Avoid kneeling, crawling and squatting. Limit squats and lounges in the gym. Avoid repetitively exercising the knee in flexion beyond 90 degrees bent. Therapy and bracing are the best options for chondromalacia patella. Need to strengthen thighs, tone core muscles, and maintain ideal body weight.
