๐Ÿ’ฅPatellar Tendon Pain AKA โ€œJumperโ€™s Kneeโ€๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ’ฅIf you have this, itโ€™s likely because your patellar tendon was over-stressed beyond what it can currently handle (due to loads that are too high or lack of recovery).

๐Ÿ”‘ Try 5 reps of 45 second holds
๐Ÿ”‘ 2 min of rest in between each rep
๐Ÿ”‘ Keep your knees at roughly 60 deg angle
๐Ÿ”‘ 7/10 intensity
๐Ÿ”‘Should not increase pain during or after exercise

๐Ÿ“šA research article found that this protocol using a knee extension machine provided significant short term pain relief. Most people donโ€™t have a knee extension machine at home, so you could try out a wall sit instead!

๐Ÿ”‘It may be useful during the season of competition to decrease pain and allow the athlete to compete, if needed.
