I've had patella tendonitis in my right knee for over 10 years. I play drums (the cause of the problem) and have been at that for 28 years. I did this massage on myself and my pain is completely gone in one intense 4-5 minute session working deep through the pain. Thank you guys for putting this video up, I can't believe all the PTs I've been to never said anything about this technique. Subscribed!
@Young Melo I saw some of your comments. You write that you had Osgood Schlatter before Patellar Tendinitis? If thats the case please read my detailed comment i posted under this video. It may adresses your problem too.
I still can't believe. I'm a basketball player. I work hard with Patellar Tendonitis. And it really hurts. But after watching your video and doing these exercises my patellar tendonitis almost gone. The bump is almost gone. I don't know how its posible by doing it one time, but ok. I can't rest any day because basketball is my life. So thank you very mutch!!
By the way i have this problem already 1 year. (When i'm doing my workout I don't feel pain except doing squats, but when i finish my workout it really hurts i feel soreness). Well see how its going to be after this.
You guys this works. Volleyball player 7+ years and avid runner, just now I did 1 treatment of the first therapy, worked wonders all the pain is gone. Not sure how long it will last but will do this every day now.
Everyone suffering from chronic pain below the Patella and cant find a solution needs to read the following: I suffered from patella pain for the past 10 years and went to many many docs who couldnt find out whats wrong until I finally got to the right one. The cause of my pain was not from the patella tendon itself (although i was sure it was) but from the fat pad lying underneath. It is called Corpus adiposum infrapatellare. If it is inflamed you will most likely have the same symptoms you have with patella tendinitis. What made the fat pad irritated over all those years in my case was a high riding patella (patella alta) which squeezed the fat pad when i bend my knees. In most cases patella alta develops if you grow up fast in short time. There is especially one diagnosis that seems to correlate with patella alta and it is called Morbus Osgood Schlatter. It is a growing disease that opens the bone of your tibia (where the patella tendon attaches) which seems to lead to patella alta as a long term consequence. I did have a surgery to bring my patella back in place last week. It is called Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy. Cannot say anything about the outcome yet. Please check out the following if you are witnessing unsolved patella pain: Did you grow up fast in short time? Did you have Morbus Schlatter before the patella pain thing? Are your knee caps very „visual“ when you sit normal? Check your X-Ray photos and compare them with patella alta X-Rays I'm writing this here because in my case exercises made the condition worse and i want ppl to be sure they are targetting the right thing. :)
Wow guys. Ive had a hard time isolating the bound up spot on my tendon but as soon as I did as you demonstrated with my knee cap I was able to get my fingers deep into the pissed off part of my tendon. For what its worth, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
You guys are legends ! To reduce someone's suffering and give them their happiness, and do for everyone free... truly you're setting an example. Thank you so much, I hope the happiness you give us is reflected back to you too :)
I can't believe how effective this was for me. It was also a reflection of how ignorant I've been in regards to my rehabilitation, but I've had inflammation in my right patellar tendon for the last 4 years. I've tried sonic shock therapy, massage rollers, endless ice and rest. The pain never left. I followed your advice and after 1 week of intense deep tissue massage as per your instructions, the swelling has reduced dramatically. I literally feel blood flowing to that area. It hurt like hell when I found the clump of scar tissue there and started rubbing it into oblivion. The pain was intense. I iced afterwards for an hour and did it everyday for 20 minutes. Honest to god, in 4 years my knee has never felt better. You guys are doing god's work. Thank you so much for helping me and everyone else.
I enjoyed watching this early on Bob and Brad episode. Just got patella tendonitis over the last couple of months, the first exercise immediately helped with the pain.
This clip is very helpful. It's good to know what goes on in there before all the exercises to put it right. These two gentlemen are veterans and I think they've done a great show. I can feel my tendons and know where to focus. Great thanks to both
@@vladimirpeposhi2612 bruh the whole summer i trained without injury and its not like i didnt stretch or anything but i think it was cause i started growing again and my left quad is kinda smaller than my right one and i think that combined with my me getting taller just fucked the tendon
Thank you for these tips, I've been struggling with Patellar Tendonitis for almost 3 months now. I got it when I bruised my femur (in cross country) and this has helped me recover as of late.
Tristan P14, If you think you have Patellar Tendonitis you must stop any sports activities, because it will make your knee's worse, just an advised for you mate.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out test knee tendonitis pain try Mackorny Treat Bones Blueprint (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is an awesome exclusive product for dealing with chronic knee pain minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.
Great recommendations which I will perform on myself. However, may I suggest the possibility of reshooting this video because it’s hard to hear you guys and the camera was all over the place and you have better shot videos I’ve watched in the past.
These exercises help me from Patellar tendonitis, I don't know but I heard pops from my knee especially when I'm doing the second exercise and then afterwards the pain subside a bit. Thank you you're the best!
Aphid Real Nice It goes away after a few weeks of rest but its still present, just not as bad as the first time. Also do leg exercises such as the hamstrings to strengthen to prevent it
I was researching how to tape my patella when I came across your video. I tried it and Instantly felt relief. Thank you so much. This was exactly what I needed but didn't know it
how long does it take to heal usually. I have had it for about a year and a half playing sports non stop and im finally taking a break to let it heal and i was wondering how long it takes. Thanks
I have this and I'm very worried, please tell me this video will help the pain go away. Thank you and also I'm having an MRI to see what actually is going on Hopefully I'm fine
HI guys can i swim still if i have this? infrapatellar bursitis of right knee tendinopathy of right patella knee partial tendon tear at distal 1/3 at insetion on tibial tubercle
Thanks. Your video, presentation and demeanor are wonderful. I've found on my own that putting pressure in points helped, which feels related. I find that keeping my quads massaged and stretched helps too. I'm hoping this may be a missing link for me. I can't get the burning to calm down unless I restrict my walking to just going to the bathroom and icing throughout the day. It's debilitating. I can't walk around at all, not even cooking, without increasing the inflamation. It takes 2-6 weeks of not a single lapse to get the burning to settle. Once I get slightly pain free I have so far in almost a year always back tracked to square one with the slightest increase in mobility. Should I be using crutches or a wheel chair? It feels crazy to be so immobile for tendonitis. (I'm sure that's what it is, as are 3 different PTs and an orthpedic doctor)
Brad and Bob, I found your video searching for a cure for the excruciating pain in my knee. It clearly was Patellar Tendonitis. I have no idea how I did it but I was dealing with it for about a week. I got on Amazon and bought the better muscle massager gun (~$120). I used Sat night for about 45 min. Woke Sunday and the pain was nearly gone. Today is Monday and NO PAIN!!! Is that even possible? Regardless, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Hi... My left leg knee cap got dislocated while playing badminton. My quadricep muscles have become weak now as told by the doc. Now there is not much pain but my knee cap has shifted a bit towards left (outside) . Can you suggest some exercises to straighten my knee cap?? thanks...
I found that turmeric combined with black pepper works really good and is quite cheap. Also much safer and more effective than NSAIDS. Do you guys recommend doing 1 legged eccentric squats on 15-20 degree decline when the pain is almost gone? Would it be best to do those squats before massaging?
My patella tendonosis has re-occured with only 1 week completely pain free. I am going to try ESWT. Have you guys any knowledge on ESWT? extra-corp shockwave treatment.
Hi, great video. For individuals with chronic tendinitis, is the chronic swelling that accompanies the injury for several months later (not the acute inflammation) a result of scar tissue and/or misaligned fibers? If either or, would deep tissue massage, such as the one provided in the video, be of any benefit for chronic inflammation of the patellar tendon? Thank you!
Thank you for the video! As a kid I had pretty bad Osgood Schlatter Disease and the bone at the tibial tuberosity is large on my left knee. I was doing running and got very mild tendonitis and the pain went away. After that I joined gymnastics, and I felt good enough to do a box jump, big mistake! I felt the pain and dropped to the floor holding my knee. It took a month for the pain to subside enough for me to stop limping. However, its been about 2 months since then and my Knee started acting up after playing an hour of tennis. I was wondering what I need to do to get better and get back into playing Tennis. I went to see my doctor and some physio therapists, but they didn't give me any exercises, and honestly didn't seem like they knew what they were talking about. I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out? My knee gets injured quicker than most people by a long shot so I am confused on what I can and can't do. Please reply :(
What really works for me is to squat straight down, hold for 10secs and then stand up. Repeat 5 times 3 times daily and all your pain goes away. It's simpler than all these complicated massages and it really works.
I think I finally found what hurts me. I got it from snowboarding because of poor training and overuse. It was my first day of the season and maybe I did too much. There has been a week and I still had tenderness in my knee, especially when squating, getting of a chair, using stairs or try to stay in snowboard position. I was scared. I have tried today these techniques and it is unbelievable how the pain got away. I only have some weird feeling but it is so much better. I am gonna do it next days too, and hopefully go back on the slopes.
1.5 month update. A gym leg day and a pause of not doing sport triggered it again and harder. I kept the techniques and started stretching exercises for knee pain and there have been 2-3 weeks with no pain.
Interesting video - though find it to do alone at first, though will take practice I guess. I have a history of hamstring injuries and developed what I think is tendonitis through running and kicking whilst playing rugby. Could hamstring tears be a contributing factor? What other muscles should I look at to correct this, alongside the video treatment? Cheers guys!
What do you recommend when nothing works to treat chronic quadricipital tendonitis? And by nothing, I mean: physical therapy (20 sessions that included electrotherapy, ultrasound, heat and ice, stretching, deep tissue massage, stretching, isometric exercises, eccentric movement), NSAIDs, PRP, steroids, pain killers. Literally everything. Only available options are corticosteroids and surgical intervention. Thoughts?
Hey guys thanks for posting this video, just wondering if I am feeling a lot clicking and what appears to be scrapping when I do the running motion could this be like fluid buildup? Also if im running intense track workouts am I ok to keep doing this even if the pain is fairly intense the following day?
Hi B&B, i’m a 13 year old girl from the faroe islands. I got diagnosed with patellar tendinitis in my right knee on thursday at the doctor’s office. And i’m in pain after my football training two times a week and i play outside almost every day with my football. The doctor said that he thinks it is patellar tendinitis, but i’ve been having it in almost a year now. If it has not gone away next month i will have to go back to the doctor and be checked again(🙄). But do i need a knee brace or something? Do i need surgery or? Plz give me some more information?❤️.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover tendonitis knee pain symptoms try Mackorny Treat Bones Blueprint (do a search on google )? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for dealing with chronic knee pain minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
My daughter has been suffering knee pain for 1 year. She broke a little piece of her patella and the doctor said is Sinding Larson . She rested and continue training . Right now she has pain again and doc said she has the Sinding Larson thing plus the Osgod schlatter plus tendinitis . She is resting and in therapy. Ian afraid the pain come back if she trains again . We started doing the video but She feel pain during the massage . Can we continue doing it anyway ??
Quick question does having flat foot causes patellar tendonitis? Am going to Marine Corp bootcamp in 1 month and I've being having this tendonitis problem, I don't know if it's the physical training that's causing me this trouble or is it my flat foot.
Should I start physical therapy when I can bend my knee or? I dislocated my kneecap three weeks ago. I had it popped back in and rubbed . Was on crutches the first whole week. Second week I started walking on it (barely) . And right now I’m in my third week walking better on it. I can bend it more and more each day. If I bend it too much it hurts ... should I wait till I can bend it fully and then start rebab?
nteresting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about tibial tendonitis knee try Mackorny Treat Bones Blueprint (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is a good one off guide for dealing with chronic knee pain minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got great success with it.
***** Oh ok, why exactly are they good to do? Should you feel slight pain in your patellar tendon when performing eccentric squats? I was under the impression that eccentric squats would break up scar tissue and remodel the tendon.
Hi guys. Was curious while undergoing with treatment what kind of activity modifications do you suggest? I would think any heavy squating of lunging should be avoided. What about cardio?
Thanks for posting this. Cased a jump hard riding motocross, and I have had patellar pain ever since. It is due to having part of my patella missing due to ACL surgery. Hope it helps me....
Percussion worked for me as a modal remedy. What's your opinion on it? I also have a fitness roller (not unlike a rolling pin); I'm going to test it with the stretch in your second part. Thanks!
hey guys im a little confused, is this treatment more to stop/prevent pain? or to actually cure the injury and the tendons? for instance if i do this for a few weeks and my knee feels okay and i start to work out again am i likely to re injure the knee and make it worse?
What if I did this and it made things worse,this made my right knee better but my left is hurting like never before and it’s swelling slightly but I have to admit I do this for at least a hour none stop because it fills wonderful I’m wondering why I can’t move the right knee the same any more
I just tried the second exercise and heard a slight pop and instantly the discomfort was gone. I don’t know if it was a fluke I’ll give it a few days and see 😮
Hi physicaltherapyvideo, there has been pain right under my patella, I can feel pain on the actual patella but at the bottom of it and I don't know what I've done to get this pain because I haven't played sports in 3 weeks and I've just been resting, do u know what's happened?? Thanks.
In your video, you mentioned osgood schlatter. I have it and right under the lump is where I have moderately torn my patellar tendon (literally on your model where it has snapped). I would really prefer not to have surgery. I am a D1 athlete who pole vaults and hurdles. Is there another solution to heal my knee other than surgery? Thank you
Hello! I suffer from Patellar tendonitis on my both of my knees for about 2 years now. How long should I be doing these exercises before I start seeing improvements on my knees? Thanks
About 2 years ago, my right knee started feeling stiff when I played soccer. Not long after that, my left knee started hurting as well. I had an mri on my right knee and it said it was patellar tendonitis. I didn't bother to had an mri on my left knee since it was pretty much the same pain. Last year, I tried physical therapy for three months and didn't help. I had 10 prp injections on my right knee this year. I also took gelatin powder, since my doctor said it'd help but they still hurt. I'm starting to get worried that nothing so far has worked for me. I also want to avoid surgery for now.... Any suggestions? Thanks for replying to my question.
Hi, not at all. My knee pain has worsened ever since. I tried these exercises (and a LOT bunch others I found on UA-cam) at home for a while but they were just causing me more pain. I guess some tendonitis treatments might work for some, but not for everybody. Or perhaps I might not have patellar tendonitis but something else. Who knows! The only thing I have not tried yet is knee surgery and am starting to give it some thought! :/
After playing volleyball I felt a sharp pain that went from the inner side to the bottom of my knee. I've had it for a week and it gets better when I rest and ice it, but hurts a lot when I walk fast/climb stairs. I haven't seen a doctor yet and im not completely sure if i have patellar tendonitis, do you think I should rest and see if the pain will gradually stop or should I see a doctor right now? What do you reccomend for the pain to stop and for my knee to get better? Thanks.
4ufm and tasha pina I think that's patella tendonitis i have same symptoms like you guys and i'm doing this workout for 1 week and it feels better, I don't do any sports activities at the moment, just working out on my legs and after you need to have proper rest, these videos helps me to keep positive and keep working out and hopefully it will help you guys, ua-cam.com/video/Bhgxor2vP7U/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/X9eYEEi7S1w/v-deo.html&lc=z22eyvxb1suyuxdh204t1aokgqv2g1donmclzcn05oyrrk0h00410.1523970794151169
even though it's called jumpers knee, does running and sprinting cause the patella tendon any more harm? i have a physical test for the police in 2 weeks.
Suffered from Patella Tendonitis for 3months now, been on a squat program to build the tendon strength, still sore though. Going to give this a shot. Quite sore rubbing though
These massages definitely helped me! Mine used to be really tender, sometimes massages would trigger quick jabs of intense pain. This went away though and it does start to feel better.
My pain is localized where the tendon attaches to the tibial tuberosity (left side of my left leg) -- could that still be a patellar tendonitis condition?
I was told that it technically isn't tendonitis because inflammation only occurs for 48 hours following initial "injury". I was told that after that period it is tendonosis. Is this true?
I've had patella tendonitis in my right knee for over 10 years. I play drums (the cause of the problem) and have been at that for 28 years. I did this massage on myself and my pain is completely gone in one intense 4-5 minute session working deep through the pain. Thank you guys for putting this video up, I can't believe all the PTs I've been to never said anything about this technique. Subscribed!
did it work for you, are you still better now? I've had this injury for a few months now. just trying to figure out what works. thanks!

+Jokubas Vigelis I got the exact same thing right now except I play football how did it go ?? is it healed ?
Yea it did, after like one year i discovered that the best way to heal and relieve pain is icing your knee.
And do stretches everyday! Stretch hard man
+Jokubas Vigelis what kind of stretches I just want it to heal ASAP man :'( I missed trials how long would it take aprox
You guys this works. Volleyball player 7+ years and avid runner, just now I did 1 treatment of the first therapy, worked wonders all the pain is gone. Not sure how long it will last but will do this every day now.
Is it fully gone now?

Soooo glad i found this. Explains exactly what I need.
What do you think of the patellar tendon straps I've seen advertising today for this?
What really works for me is to squat straight down, hold for 10secs and then stand up. Repeat 5 times 3 times daily and all your pain goes away. It's simpler than all these complicated massages and it really works.
Your right its called eccentric sqauts
Thank you I will try that, I have been trying to find treatments for over a year and none work but I'll try this.
@@maz1071 good luck.
@@ehteshamraja332 how long till it healed? Mines is so complicated
@@ivantunn9588 it never heals completely, but strengthens the muscles so that they can take the load of the bones.
I think I finally found what hurts me. I got it from snowboarding because of poor training and overuse. It was my first day of the season and maybe I did too much. There has been a week and I still had tenderness in my knee, especially when squating, getting of a chair, using stairs or try to stay in snowboard position. I was scared.
I have tried today these techniques and it is unbelievable how the pain got away. I only have some weird feeling but it is so much better. I am gonna do it next days too, and hopefully go back on the slopes.
1.5 month update. A gym leg day and a pause of not doing sport triggered it again and harder. I kept the techniques and started stretching exercises for knee pain and there have been 2-3 weeks with no pain.
@@andra9812how do you feel these days??
Interesting video - though find it to do alone at first, though will take practice I guess. I have a history of hamstring injuries and developed what I think is tendonitis through running and kicking whilst playing rugby. Could hamstring tears be a contributing factor? What other muscles should I look at to correct this, alongside the video treatment? Cheers guys!
I've had this chronic off an on for 6 months... Right now it is painful and tender. Should I try this while it is tender?
What do you recommend when nothing works to treat chronic quadricipital tendonitis? And by nothing, I mean: physical therapy (20 sessions that included electrotherapy, ultrasound, heat and ice, stretching, deep tissue massage, stretching, isometric exercises, eccentric movement), NSAIDs, PRP, steroids, pain killers. Literally everything. Only available options are corticosteroids and surgical intervention. Thoughts?
would you recommend doing this if the tendon is in the chronic stages of the injury??
Hey guys thanks for posting this video, just wondering if I am feeling a lot clicking and what appears to be scrapping when I do the running motion could this be like fluid buildup? Also if im running intense track workouts am I ok to keep doing this even if the pain is fairly intense the following day?
Hi B&B, i’m a 13 year old girl from the faroe islands. I got diagnosed with patellar tendinitis in my right knee on thursday at the doctor’s office. And i’m in pain after my football training two times a week and i play outside almost every day with my football. The doctor said that he thinks it is patellar tendinitis, but i’ve been having it in almost a year now. If it has not gone away next month i will have to go back to the doctor and be checked again(🙄). But do i need a knee brace or something? Do i need surgery or? Plz give me some more information?❤️.
Wow, this video is an oldie-but-goodie.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover tendonitis knee pain symptoms try Mackorny Treat Bones Blueprint (do a search on google )?
It is a smashing one of a kind guide for dealing with chronic knee pain minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
If i have had patellar tendonitis for a year
About how long would it take to recover completely ?
I dont know how. But this help me reduce pain at knee cap. I can feel again my quads.
My daughter has been suffering knee pain for 1 year. She broke a little piece of her patella and the doctor said is Sinding Larson . She rested and continue training . Right now she has pain again and doc said she has the Sinding Larson thing plus the Osgod schlatter plus tendinitis . She is resting and in therapy. Ian afraid the pain come back if she trains again . We started doing the video but She feel pain during the massage . Can we continue doing it anyway ??
Quick question does having flat foot causes patellar tendonitis? Am going to Marine Corp bootcamp in 1 month and I've being having this tendonitis problem, I don't know if it's the physical training that's causing me this trouble or is it my flat foot.
Very gut advice. Seems to make my knee cap feels gut.
I have had tendinitis for about 8-10 months now. Is it best for me to heat or ice and when is the best time to do so?
Should I start physical therapy when I can bend my knee or? I dislocated my kneecap three weeks ago. I had it popped back in and rubbed . Was on crutches the first whole week. Second week I started walking on it (barely) . And right now I’m in my third week walking better on it. I can bend it more and more each day. If I bend it too much it hurts ... should I wait till I can bend it fully and then start rebab?
Would you recommend still doing these if there is a small tear in it
nteresting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about tibial tendonitis knee try Mackorny Treat Bones Blueprint (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )?
It is a good one off guide for dealing with chronic knee pain minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got great success with it.
Great video guys. What exactly is the benefit of using cross tendon massage technique? How does it work to heal the tendon?
***** Ok thank you, so the breaking up of that scar tissue and increase of blood flow alleviates pain in the tendon?
***** Do you also recommend eccentric squats for breaking up scar tissue?
***** Oh ok, why exactly are they good to do? Should you feel slight pain in your patellar tendon when performing eccentric squats? I was under the impression that eccentric squats would break up scar tissue and remodel the tendon.
Hi guys. Was curious while undergoing with treatment what kind of activity modifications do you suggest? I would think any heavy squating of lunging should be avoided. What about cardio?
Have this issue from tennis, running and the deep massage helped me.
Thank you to keep me going!
Hey gents, is this to be done on dry skin or with a lotion maybe? In addition would the protocol be 5-10 minutes every other day or daily?
Thanks for posting this. Cased a jump hard riding motocross, and I have had patellar pain ever since. It is due to having part of my patella missing due to ACL surgery. Hope it helps me....
Percussion worked for me as a modal remedy. What's your opinion on it? I also have a fitness roller (not unlike a rolling pin); I'm going to test it with the stretch in your second part. Thanks!
10;years sgo the video wasnt goid - but tye advice stiol is valid
What if you have tendonitis pain on the inside part of the knee and some swelling or tightness? Do you have any suggestions for treating that?
hey guys im a little confused, is this treatment more to stop/prevent pain? or to actually cure the injury and the tendons? for instance if i do this for a few weeks and my knee feels okay and i start to work out again am i likely to re injure the knee and make it worse?
Have u found a solutuon
I'm very interested in this as well. I have a brace to dull the pain but I need it to go away permanently
What if I did this and it made things worse,this made my right knee better but my left is hurting like never before and it’s swelling slightly but I have to admit I do this for at least a hour none stop because it fills wonderful I’m wondering why I can’t move the right knee the same any more
I just tried the second exercise and heard a slight pop and instantly the discomfort was gone. I don’t know if it was a fluke I’ll give it a few days and see 😮
Hi physicaltherapyvideo, there has been pain right under my patella, I can feel pain on the actual patella but at the bottom of it and I don't know what I've done to get this pain because I haven't played sports in 3 weeks and I've just been resting, do u know what's happened?? Thanks.
In your video, you mentioned osgood schlatter. I have it and right under the lump is where I have moderately torn my patellar tendon (literally on your model where it has snapped). I would really prefer not to have surgery. I am a D1 athlete who pole vaults and hurdles. Is there another solution to heal my knee other than surgery? Thank you
Thank you.
Hi ,my knee is always slightly bent due to patellartendonitis. How can I straighten it??
if these exercises make my knee pain better would this indicate that i have tendonitis rather than pfs?
Brad: "I like using that middle finger" 3:56
Bob: "I bet you do like using that middle finger don't you Brad" 😂😂😂
This healed my knees instantly. Great video!!
I swear to god just 10secs of the first rubbing exercise. How is your knee doing now?
Another excellent video by these guys! Thank you for all your stellar work!
Thanks for useful info.
Love you guys, I have patella tendonosis. Will the tendon ever heal to healthy tendon
Daniel Aguilera Thank you and I’m very glad you are healed.
thanks this works
Hello! I suffer from Patellar tendonitis on my both of my knees for about 2 years now. How long should I be doing these exercises before I start seeing improvements on my knees? Thanks
About 2 years ago, my right knee started feeling stiff when I played soccer. Not long after that, my left knee started hurting as well. I had an mri on my right knee and it said it was patellar tendonitis. I didn't bother to had an mri on my left knee since it was pretty much the same pain. Last year, I tried physical therapy for three months and didn't help. I had 10 prp injections on my right knee this year. I also took gelatin powder, since my doctor said it'd help but they still hurt. I'm starting to get worried that nothing so far has worked for me. I also want to avoid surgery for now.... Any suggestions? Thanks for replying to my question.
***** Thanks, I will try that out. Have a nice day
Any updates on your progress? How are your knees now??
Javier Valerio any progress?
Hi, not at all. My knee pain has worsened ever since. I tried these exercises (and a LOT bunch others I found on UA-cam) at home for a while but they were just causing me more pain. I guess some tendonitis treatments might work for some, but not for everybody. Or perhaps I might not have patellar tendonitis but something else. Who knows! The only thing I have not tried yet is knee surgery and am starting to give it some thought! :/
Thanks
After playing volleyball I felt a sharp pain that went from the inner side to the bottom of my knee. I've had it for a week and it gets better when I rest and ice it, but hurts a lot when I walk fast/climb stairs. I haven't seen a doctor yet and im not completely sure if i have patellar tendonitis, do you think I should rest and see if the pain will gradually stop or should I see a doctor right now? What do you reccomend for the pain to stop and for my knee to get better? Thanks.
4ufm have same symptoms what happen with yours?
4ufm and tasha pina I think that's patella tendonitis i have same symptoms like you guys and i'm doing this workout for 1 week and it feels better, I don't do any sports activities at the moment, just working out on my legs and after you need to have proper rest, these videos helps me to keep positive and keep working out and hopefully it will help you guys, ua-cam.com/video/Bhgxor2vP7U/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/X9eYEEi7S1w/v-deo.html&lc=z22eyvxb1suyuxdh204t1aokgqv2g1donmclzcn05oyrrk0h00410.1523970794151169
my knee keeps cracking?Very sore!! Is that normal it cracks every time I move my knee? Thank you
I read high dosages of vitamin D can help with tendonitis, what's your view on this?
even though it's called jumpers knee, does running and sprinting cause the patella tendon any more harm?
i have a physical test for the police in 2 weeks.
I have had patellar tendonitis for 3 years now, so if i do this and ice it, it will help with the pain a lot?
Thank you!
this helped so much. amazing tips guys, much appreciated
Suffered from Patella Tendonitis for 3months now, been on a squat program to build the tendon strength, still sore though. Going to give this a shot. Quite sore rubbing though
These massages definitely helped me! Mine used to be really tender, sometimes massages would trigger quick jabs of intense pain. This went away though and it does start to feel better.
david, did you get better? Did the squat program work? just wondering because I have had the same issue for 3 months. thanks!!
WoW IT really works! thanks!
My pain is localized where the tendon attaches to the tibial tuberosity (left side of my left leg) -- could that still be a patellar tendonitis condition?
Hi, I have Sinding Larsen Jhonson. Does it work for thoese. Im 21 and its been already 1y my pain is still there 😢
I was told that it technically isn't tendonitis because inflammation only occurs for 48 hours following initial "injury". I was told that after that period it is tendonosis. Is this true?
***** thank you for the quick response. Is there any way to continue a lifting routine while rehabilitating?
Tendonosis doesn't form in 48 hours. More like 6-8 weeks. After 12, it's tendonosis. Tendons take a long time to heal due to lack of blood flow.
my tendon has hurt for 3 weeks now, is that the right time to start massaging?
Do you do this when its sore or when its not sore?
Can this treatment also be used for tendonosis, which involves actual breakdown of the tendon vs. inflammation?
***** Good to know. Thanks for the quick response.
