In todays video we look at some of the basic anatomy of the patella and discuss exercises, stretches and massage techniques that you can do to begin to fix Patellar Tendonitis. • What is patellar tendonitis? • Patellar tendinitis is an injury to the tendon connecting your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone (The Tibia). The patellar tendon works with the muscles at the front of your thigh to extend your knee so that you can kick, run and jump. • Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee, is most common in athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping — such as basketball and volleyball. However, even people who don't participate in jumping sports can get patellar tendinitis. For most people, treatment of patellar tendinitis begins with physical therapy to stretch and strengthen the muscles around the knee. • What Causes This? • Patellar tendinitis is a common overuse injury, caused by repeated stress on your patellar tendon. The stress results in tiny tears in the tendon, which your body attempts to repair. But as the tears in the tendon multiply, they cause pain from inflammation and weakening of the tendon. When this tendon damage persists for more than a few weeks, it's called tendinopathy. • Physical activity - Running and jumping are most commonly associated with patellar tendinitis. Sudden increases in how hard or how often you engage in the activity also add stress to the tendon, as can changing your running shoes. • Tight leg muscles. Tight thigh muscles (quadriceps) and hamstrings, which run up the back of your thighs, can increase strain on your patellar tendon. Muscular imbalance. If some muscles in your legs are much stronger than others, the stronger muscles could pull harder on your patellar tendon. This uneven pull could cause tendinitis. • Chronic illness. Some illnesses disrupt blood flow to the knee, which weakens the tendon. Examples include kidney failure, autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. • I am an Athlete can I still do sport with this? • Don't play through pain. As soon as you notice exercise-related knee pain, ice the area and rest. Until your knee is pain-free, avoid activities that put stress on your patellar tendon. Once the area has healed start using progressive loading techniques to strengthen the tendon. • Follow me on Instagram - / pttarrant • Visit my Website for more info - www.ukfitnesshub.com • Subscribe! - https://tinyurl.com/y7rvu8af • Business Enquiries - [email protected] • Would you like to support the channel, or just buy me a cup of coffee as a thank you?
