Case 030: The Loaded Spring — Patellar Tendinopathy

Two years. The same tendon, the same clinicians, the same advice: rest it, ice it, let the inflammation settle. And every time he returned to the court, it came back within a week. In this final case of the knee series, Sole Trace closes the file on one of sport's most mismanaged tendons — and explains why rest is not the answer. Patellar tendinopathy is not an inflammation problem. It is a loading problem. The tendon that has been rested and stretched for two years has been given everything except the one thing it actually responds to. It's time to load the spring.

If you want to unlock the problem, the knee is key.
