How to Fix Patellar Tendonitis (NO MORE KNEE PAIN)

[bloopandablast]

Bruh straight up recovering from this right now and this is what I'm doing feels good to have reassurance👍

I'm 19 year old from Nigeria training for track and field and I have been suffering for patella tendonitis on my right leg and quad tendonitis on my left leg ( plus a sharp pain at the front of my right ankle) for over a year now. All this was because I tried lifting very heavy and doing high-volume plyometrics (no coach)

My thought moving forward was to give up on my athletic dreams, and this set me into a state of depression for a long time. That was until I came across this channel, and started implementing what I learnt.
I've been seeing slow but constant improvements ever since.

In a nutshell, I just want to say a big THANK YOU to squat university for giving me hope and bringing me out of my dark times. God bless🌹

Tendinitis does not heal with rest only with an overload of 2 to 5 reps per set of 10 to 20 sets every 3rd day for 2 weeks. So this vid is spot on. Do not rest you will just come back and be in pain again

I think this is exactly my issue. I was using Ben’s knees over toes program last year, but that step down move you showed in the squat rack here made my knee really really bad. I should have stopped when it got painful but I thought I was gonna work my way through it.

Frustrating because I see everyone else saying that that move is what made them better. It absolutely destroyed my knee.

When I was younger and needed that all my PT said was to stretch my quads smh

This is very helpful information. Thanks.

Yup, I just yesterday did box jumps with no warm up for legs and for the first time in my life I learned why coaches warn about plyometrics. And now I see this. Aaron's teachings haven't gone to waste though. Deep long pause squat with overhead weight and single-leg touchdown squat allowed me to do my pr squat workout without issues, even though after box jumps I felt like I might not be able to do even normal load.

Learning how to land is also essential to prevent wear on your knees. When you increasing the time of landing by bending your knees on impact, you are decreasing the force due to delta p / by delta t= force. Notice how he is not bending his knees not nearly enough when his feet land and he is still as stiff as a board. Physics is the main factor to this problem.

Just now experiencing a more intense injury/pain from this after a game of basketball. Has me feeling like I won’t be my old self anymore. I hope this helps

[bonkeuri]

i mean maybe im wrong but this seems straightforward, he literally is just not bending his knees when he lands so obviously hes gonna ruin them because hes just making the bones hit eachother. If im wrong feel free to tell me why 👍

Since 1 year i have pain on my left knee. İ am playing football 1-2 times per week. After making this spanish squats my left glute extremely sore. now i am thinking because of weak glute, it puts more pressure on my knee.

How long will the pain last after starting these workouts? My knees still hurt during and after.

Thank youuuu! I started playing volleyball recently and my knee has been bothering me from the falling and jumping.

[scottyboimcfc]

This is such a shit annoying injury, have had it for 3 to 4 years now and just worked through it. Finally started to research it as going up and down stairs became unbearable, just read your blog fingers crossed I get this fixed now!

[rockgod]

@squatUniversity how often should these exercises be completed? Are they daily exercises?

Thanks so much for the awesome content!

[joshmclaughlin]

Every movement here is one that I would feel pain in (specifically my right knee on the inside - left half - of the patella tendon). Am I just supposed to push through it and hope the extra strength fixes it?

[blompotteke]

Hey man, just wanted to ask. Why did you put tendonitis at the video description? I was told by my teacher that patellar tendinopathy wasn’t an imflammatoire reaction in the knee, but a disbalance between load and capability.

[Rglezy]

what would be the time suggestions for each step. How much time should I stay on step 1 and the rest? I have jumpers knee and a bit of arthritis on the right side. No one seems to be able to help. I have already spent too much money on physio and just wanna try something new.

[ryno]

How long should we take to be progressing through the steps? Start loading squats right after? Or just once you’re pain free from step 1?

[kcbm]

Would it be better to do kickstand squats or bulgarian ones?
