Hey shweta,
well 1st of all practicing in india, i've never had a patient who is ready to go beyond 10 treatment sessions that too if i charge em a meagre 100 bucks a session or probably 125..
so i wud say start with IFT and SWD from day 1 till day 5... by day 5 pain gone.. i hope... then move to stimuln of muscles and SWD.. u can ask for isometrics during 1st 5 days as many times possible but hold of only bout 5 sec... progress further gradually..

Put a hot pack on the knee during IFT and stimuln follow it by patellar mobilization and mannual traction...

This shd be good enough.. u can space the sessions in the 2nd half of the 10 days.. that is call the patient alternate days during last 5 sessions... ask patient to do some Hot water fomentation on the off days with proper exs.. by this u can intervene for a longer time take proper fees and get results...

This works for me.. might not work for others.. i always feel there is no protocol for any patient, a (patient-therapist) makes a new one everytime...

VMO is VAstus medialis obliqe... jz care bout vastus medialis..

hope i've been good help...
