Atlanta appears to have several SS coaches, which you can see
here.
You can deadlift, press and bench without putting any pressure through the kneecap. Squats and cleans will tend to hurt it. This is why I say, wait until the inflammation has died down. You can also tape the kneecap, a strip across it pulling it inwards, and another strip pulling it down, your physiotherapist should have shown you how to do this since it gives instant relief from the pain, you're taking the direct pressure off the inflamed tissue.
Practice squatting without weight a few times a day. I would, once pain-free for a full day, go back to barbell squats the next day, preferably that day would be your first coaching session.
Patellar maltracking means that when you flex your knee, the kneecap slides up and down in the wrong place, and grinds against the structures there. With most people, they're sedentary, they do a little bit of damage, it heals, a little bit of damage, it heals, and so on. If the person takes up running, cycling or hiking, they do a lot of damage, it heals a bit, more damage, and so on. At some point the damaged tissue becomes inflamed, and inflamed tissue when further poked hurts. It's like poking a bruise.
Thus, the pain from patellar maltracking is essentially an overuse injury. Doing zillions of knee flexions and extensions fucks it up. One time I had it someone suggested it might be the squats I was doing, however at that time I was cycling to PT school every day, an hour each way. A normal cycling cadence is 75 revolutions per minute, which is 4,500 each way, or 45,000 a week. My squat workouts usually had 3 warmup and 3 work sets of 5, for 90 reps a week. Which is more likely to cause an overuse injury, 45,000 reps or 90 reps?
Thus, squatting will not bring on the inflammation and thus pain from patellar maltracking, however if the inflammation is already there squatting will "poke the bruise" and make it hurt. This is why I say, stop running, and once you're pain-free you can squat.
Physiotherapists typically recommend activation exercises for the "VMO", the vastus medialis, which is the quadricep muscle innermost on the thigh, when you straighten your knee you can feel the muscle about 3-4" from the knee towards the groin. I tried those and nothing happened. I found that the vastus medialis is very well activated by a wide stance deep squat. As well, a wide stance deep squat tends to mean less pressure through the front of the knee, less kneecap being dragged back towards your body, and less "poking the bruise", compared to narrow stance squats, cycling, running, etc.
Thus, stop running, foam roll, when pain-free squat properly, foam roll again. You don't have to wait a month to squat, just until you've been pain-free for a bit.
