Our standard protocol for PFPS is with eccentric strengthening. Both the evidence and our experience with the protocol (which has been in place for about 3 years here) have shown good results. Our program consists of 3 sets of 10 reps of drop squats, done 5 days a weeks for 4 weeks with increasing weight each week. This is followed by one week of lunges (3x10) and then two weeks of one legged drop squats.
