Patellar Tendinopathy Management
Patellar tendinopathy management uses progressive isometric and eccentric loading—not total rest—to rebuild knee tendon capacity. Pain monitoring guides volume over months.
Patellar tendinopathy management loads the knee tendon progressively—isometric holds, slow eccentrics like Spanish squats, then plyometrics—instead of resting completely. Pain should stay low during and after sessions, often rated below three of ten.
Reduce jump volume temporarily while tendon capacity rebuilds over months.
Common questions
-
Should you train through patellar tendon pain?
Train with loads that keep pain low during and twenty-four hours after—usually below three of ten. Sharp increases in jumping often flare symptoms.
