Understanding Patella Tendonitis/ Tendinopathy

Patella Tendonitis, also known as Tendinopathy or Jumper's Knee, is a common injury characterized by inflammation or degeneration of the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). It often occurs due to repetitive stress or overuse, especially in activities involving jumping or running.

Symptoms can include:

  • Pain and tenderness around the lower part of the kneecap

  • Swelling or thickening of the tendon

  • Stiffness and difficulty with bending or straightening the knee

  • Pain worsens with activity or after prolonged sitting

Our Services

  • Our experienced physical therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess your condition, identify contributing factors, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

  • Targeted exercises are crucial for improving the strength and flexibility of the muscles surrounding the knee joint, as well as addressing any biomechanical issues that may contribute to the injury.

  • We assess your movement patterns and biomechanics to identify any imbalances or faulty movement patterns that may be contributing to your condition. Through corrective exercises and movement re-education, we aim to optimize your movement mechanics and prevent future injury.

“Dr. Greg is the best! He’s helped me with my hamstring and getting me to run pain free again. After 10 years of not running more than once a month, I am now able to run a few times a week. He’s a former runner so he really knows his stuff. We refer all of our family and friends to him!” Alathea B.
