The first objective of this paper is to review the literature related to the pathogenesis and diagnostic testing for evaluating for PFPS. The second objective is to investigate how the five models of osteopathic medicine relate to the development and treatment of PFPS. The last objective is to outline several effective osteopathic manipulative techniques that can aid in the treatment of PFPS.
