Our integrated approach focuses on pain relief, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the knee to help you return to your sports and daily activities without pain.

What is Patellar Tendinitis?

Patellar tendinitis, commonly known as Jumper’s Knee, is an inflammation of the patellar tendon, the cord-like tissue that connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). This condition is an overuse injury, most often caused by repetitive stress on the tendon from activities that involve jumping, running, or sudden stops and starts.

Symptoms of Jumper’s Knee typically include:

  • Pain and tenderness directly below the kneecap 📍

  • Pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest 🛋️

  • Pain with kneeling, squatting, or going down stairs

  • A stiff feeling in the knee

While rest is an important first step, our treatment plans are designed to address the underlying causes of the condition to provide a lasting solution.

Our Integrated Treatment Approach

Our comprehensive treatment program for Jumper’s Knee combines the expertise of our orthopedic specialists with targeted advanced physiotherapy.

Orthopedic Management

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our orthopedic specialist. They will:

  • Conduct a detailed physical examination to assess your knee and pinpoint the location and severity of the pain.

  • Discuss your activity level and training regimen to understand the cause of the overuse injury.

  • Order diagnostic imaging, such as an ultrasound or MRI, if necessary, to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other knee injuries.

  • Develop a personalized non-surgical plan that may include anti-inflammatory medication to manage pain and swelling, or a targeted injection (e.g., platelet-rich plasma, or PRP) to promote tendon healing.

     

Advanced Physiotherapy

Our advanced physiotherapy program is the cornerstone of our treatment for Jumper’s Knee. Our expert physiotherapists will guide you through a tailored program designed to:

  • Reduce Pain and Inflammation: Utilizing therapeutic modalities like ice, ultrasound, or electrotherapy, along with targeted manual therapy and soft tissue release techniques.

  • Strengthen Supporting Muscles: We focus on eccentric strengthening exercises for the quadriceps, which have been shown to be highly effective in rehabilitating patellar tendinitis. We also strengthen the hamstrings and glutes to improve overall knee stability.

  • Improve Flexibility: We prescribe specific stretching exercises for the quadriceps and hamstrings to reduce tension on the patellar tendon.

  • Correct Biomechanics and Movement Patterns: Our therapists will analyze your gait, jumping, or running form to identify and correct faulty movement patterns that contribute to the overuse injury. We also provide guidance on proper warm-ups, cool-downs, and training modifications.
