This study will analyze the effects of a non-invasive radiofrequency diathermy device added to knee exercises on the symptoms of patellofemoral pain syndrome. For this aim, a randomized clinical trial will be carried out with a control group that will perform supervised exercises and an experimental group that will add radiofrequency diathermy to supervised exercises. Diathermy treatment will be performed along three weeks, ten treatment sessions in total, while supervised exercises will be performed daily. Outcomes to measure will include pain, knee function and quality of life
