I have pain in that area but it's from the back, and whenever I do hamstring curls is when I feel pain. It seems like I hurt it squatting, but squatting does not cause pain. Do you know what that could be?

[@mylesmw]

@E3 Rehab I found this video incredibly useful - and I mean incredibly useful, there are so few videos like this which break down exercises into stages, thoroughly addressing pain guidelines, and the usual rep set tempo info. Following this video, I now think my issue could be patellar maltracking. Do you have any videos on patellar maltracking disorder/could you cover this issue in a new one?

[@whitecrane542]

Just a few helpful tip reminders for anyone with this problem, never to go bowling cause it places all the force on the knee’s tendon when you stop cause after I did it brought my knee tendinitis right back severely and has taken close to a year to get about back to normal but I was also about 20 pound more than what I used to weigh and I know from the past that once you drop your extra weight then the knee tendinitis should begin to go away much more effectively. Also this loading that you speak of is spot on cause how this seemed to be brought about was doing sprinting intervals which must place a lot of load as you describe. Last but not least if your doing exercises for this problem first go to the the leg extension machine and do lighter weight starting with very light then getting a bit heavier. Why you want to use this exercise is to very effectively warm up the tendon area by saturating it with blood but still focusing on flexing the thigh muscles and not so much the knee and one warning some leg extension exercises put more strain and too much strain on the knees so try to pay close attention to this if that be the case, if so then I would simply do seated leg extensions with no weights at all. One week I went straight to the leg press machine and tried warming up there and my pain through the entire workout was almost unbearable at about 7/10 but the very next week I tried warming up with the leg extension because what I heard a pro bodybuilder say due to the importance of warming up the knee area and I was completely blow away to discover that my pain in my knee went down to practically 1/10 and I was even able to do heavy sets on the leg press but not recommended. I really didn’t begin to do better until I really focused on resting that knee all the time especially when I was setting to keep it in a relaxed position cause if you didn’t believe me your knee will let you know.

I suffered severely with this BOOM BUST cycle. It led to me completely withdrawing from sport and training and led me down a road of drink and drugs and severe depression.

I’ve been dealing with this type of pain for about 3-4 weeks now. Ignoring it till it started getting worse. I finally started researching and this video is by far the best I’ve seen. I’ve been doing everything you explain to the best of my ability and two weeks in my knee pain has improved drastically. For anyone who is having doubts give it a chance, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much!!

[@CaneFan423]

Did your knee make clicking or popping sounds while going through movements on exercises? Mine is doing that right where the pain is. It's been around 3 months now since I've had this injury but the past couple weeks I've started trying out light weight exercises on it. I've found that the pain slowly goes away after doing a quick warmup then I up the weight slightly and I can tolerate it better. But its still a light weight.

[@noe_salazar20]

@@CaneFan423 Nah man, my knee never clicked at any point. I play a lot of basketball but never injured my knee in any way. One day I just woke up and started having pain. The pain hasn’t completely gone away but it’s definitely max at worst #2 level pain from 1-10, 10 being max pain. It’s definitely helped because it used to hurt quite a bit.

I’m a guard so I would dribble a lot, cut a lot, and always went fast paced. After the pain, I did what he recommended in terms of how to make my knee stronger with the exercises he recommended and started playing only once a week at a moderate level. Maybe 70 percent, with a lot less cutting and dribbling. I continued to work on my handle but more stationary then drive to the basket based. I took this as an opportunity to work on my shot since that doesn’t take much effort. It’s gotten much much better since then but still have a an extremely minor amount of knee pain. Still only play once a week but now I go 80 percent for 30 minutes then 100 percent for 30 minutes.

As a 54 year old veteran who is about 100 lbs overweight, I recently went back to the gym. About 3 years ago, I had been working out and had lost some weight but had a freak (non-workout related) accident where I shattered my kneecap and detached my patellar tendon. After some family tragedies, loss of employment and the pandemic, I am now back to trying to get back into shape and be healthy again. This time I decided to take a personalized diet plan from Next Level Diet, and even hire a personal trainer to make sure I don’t cause injuries to my 54 year old body with all my limitations from past accidents and age. My trainer and I are focusing on strength training to help with injury prevention and prevent osteoporosis (which runs in my family) and help with arthritis and balance. It has been about a month and I am already feeling so much stronger!!😎😎

This was fantastic. I like your approach to education and addressing your audience. Thank you very much. I have a background in strength training and recently made a 120 and 180 pound sand bag. I find cleaning a sand bag to my shoulder one of the more exciting things for me to do in the weight room. This jump and catch motion caught up to me and was giving me a decent amount of knee pain. I've been doing the spanish squat, the heel elevated wall sit, and step downs. All have greatly reduced my pain. From this video I learned other exercises to work in and that I need to use the stage 2 options before going back to my sandbag work. Thank you again.

Stellar presentation. This helps me better understand both my experience of healing and progress over the course of 9 months as well as a relapse I've experienced. I went through the upward functional curve over a long, steady period, then to make a few mistakes that had set me on the downward curve for a few weeks. I will be working to reverse that yet again. Also super helpful that you took time to clear up the terminology at first. Thank you! UPDATE EIGHT MONTHS ON: I can't tell you how much this helped me to get back on track. The value of understanding the problem cannot be overstated! Since posting this comment I have allowed no more than 2-3 days between tendon strengthening exercises which I've combined with my normal (very knee load intensive) training sessions as I've been able to scale up. I do advanced level parkour with many sprints, leaps, big drops and hard landings. 8 months ago, during my relapse, just walking down stairs could be incredibly painful. I now routinely and repeatedly absorb drops from 10 ft or more without experiencing any discomfort during and often not even after the sessions.

I made the the decision to go back to college and run track and field at 25 years old last May. Immediately after that decision I hit the track at least five days a week which was a serious spike in activity for me since I'm mainly lifted weights and played a little basketball. My knee started bothering me about two weeks into training and has plagued me ever since. This video summarizes nearly everything that I went through over the past 6 months. I've been through at least 10 peaks and valleys of that boom bust cycle and the only very recently have I discovered a regimen that works pretty well long term.

This is awesome! I started experiencing patellar tendinopathy symptoms in August, but was keen on still running my first marathon in October. In the 6 weeks beforehand, I almost entirely nixed running from my training (opting for biking to stay in shape without as much impact). I wasn't following a formalized training plan, but I scaled back to no more than 16 miles and 1-2 running sessions per week. After taking 3 weeks completely off from running, I'm training for another marathon in February and am now able to sustain 3-4 sessions of running a week and 25 miles a week. I've had occasional flare-ups, but am definitely sitting in the healthy 3-5 level of pain, whereas before, I needed a clunky brace just to sit at a 6-9 level of pain. Since October, I've worked a lot on strengthening ankles, knees and hips, but have been looking for more practical knee isolation exercises.

I was a student athlete and when I was 13/14 and going through a growth spurt I jumped down some stairs and felt one of the worse pains ever in my knee. I couldn't bend my knee more than a few degrees. A few months later when it's better I was running 100m and pulled it again in the warmup. It seems to have got better with age but if I run up the stairs 15+ years later I can still feel an 'electric shock' occationally under my knee cap

[@govgan2797]

Thanks for this, very helpful. I've always assumed my issue was meniscus wear. The worst I've had is the last time I tried to do high weight leg extensions after not doing them for a year, I got pain during the exercise itself which I figured was the knee grating the meniscus tissue. I've not tried any since. I run a lot and occasionally get the pain when stepping up big steps on mountain paths etc.

[@speedo1105]

just what i was looking for. i have some patellar issues but it doesn't limit my activities. i'm a competitive swimmer anf former track athlete so , being 80 and active all my life, the knees have some milage on them. the exercises for dealing with this are welcomed and i'll give them a try although i do some of them already. very good presentation. thanks

Fantastic video. Well structured with sound scientific advise. Really appreciate how you've highlighted the need for progressive loading and the fluctuating symptoms throughout the rehab process. Agree with other comments that this is infinitely better advise that I have received from any medical professionals in person. I have struggled with patella tendinopathy for years and can't wait to forget everything i've been told and to follow this programme and fix my knees!

[@brocksamson9737]

I hate to be the Barringer of bad news. BUT I HAVE HAD PATELLAR TENDINOPATHY FOR 9 YEARS. And I'll tell you one thing it will NEVER heal on its own. I took up bodybuilding about 2 years ago. When I started incorporating squats for leg days is when I started seeing results over the course of those 2 years, slowly but surely. Along with incline squat, leg extensions, hamstring curls etc. At first I could barely squat 20lbs. But over time I eventually got to 125lbs! Which was a feat for me. My passion is skateboarding, I was only able to skate at 20%, my limitations were significant. But after the rehab and training regime I endured,along with supplements like glucosamine, and hyaluronic acid. I was skating at 75-80% it was incredible but took about a year or 2 to reach that point, regardless before skating I had to do an extensive warm up routine. I'll tell you this the rehabilitation process is extremely painful but over time will get better. Consistency is key.

Thanks for your comment. I feel like I'm in a really similar situation and just need to be consistent with my strengthening PT regimen.

[@chitranshsaxena59]

I have had this issue for around 1 year now, and i have recovered to a level that I can do a fast paced walk but no running or jogging whatsoever. So, in this process I did a lot of research. I can say this video is in symmetry with what Jake Tura and Kneesovertoesguy have suggested.

I had top pro physios help my recovery during London 2012 Olympics, when my pain first emerged. Its one of the most difficult injuries to recover from. For years I was walking up and down stairs diagonally. I've had so many injuries over the years, this came out of nowhere and was by far the most frustrating. You should be open to real people with real history. Rather than basing your recovery on a 5min KZbin clip. Rest is your best friend here

Excellent well structured and very informative video. I'm 63 and have experienced regular, patella tendon pain for more than 44 years. The only remedy I was ever offered was knee replacement surgery when I was 19 which I clearly had no intention of having. Something I am finding to be extremely helpful in healing of my knee condition is the twice daily intake of MSM powder mixed with water and lemon juice.

I'm 38 years old. I had pain there in both of my knees when I first moved into a new house with 3 sets of stairs on the inside of the place. Had been living in single story places for about 4 years. 4 months later in the new place and going up and down the stairs every day has strengthened my knees and the pain completely went away.

[@MrVenom-iu9rs]

Just as a heads up, I thought I had this as well (years ago) turned out I had a tear which eventually ripped in half and had to get surgery to repair it. Now I don't expect that every hint of tendonitis will be this scenario but you may want to get some imaging done as a preventative measure. If you catch a tear it can probably be repaired through a small incision in the knee. Me? I've got a long scar over my knee because they have to open it up to repair/reattach the torn tendon. Hopefully this message helps someone at some point.

I delt with this from the beginning of 8th grade until halfway through freshman cross country season, it ended up going away which dropped my times tremendously, I ran from 20:08-20:42 throughout the season and had to wear a knee brace but the injury left the week of league and I ran a 19:09 and 19:07 at districts. But after a year of it being gone, it came back worse than ever a few weeks ago (3 weeks after end of sophomore xc season) and am now getting back into running, but not nearly as much as I was a month ago when I was healthy. At my peak I was a sub 18:30 5k runner but now with this I'd probably be lucky to break 20 because of the pain that is caused if I go under a 6:30 mile pace, when I had been having 5k races at or below 6:00 mile pace, and I really hope this is able to fix it because I want to be able to run a sub 5 mile in track and sub 11:20 2 mile. I also want to make it to state once by the time I graduate and don't want this injury slowing down my progress towards those goals

I had my pattelar tendons snap on my right knee whilst playing football "soccer" my kneecap was pulled up into my thigh. The surgery went great and 3 months later i had the cast off and started walking again. My left knee is getting the same pains as my right did now so this video has been amazing for me. Although i feel mine hurts day after running. Especially if my knee is static for too long. But when warming up and actually running the knee feels great! 😊

[@m00cher1234]

@@mps9649 There are many ways to improve the mobility of the knee. When you have surgery it decreases the strength of the tissue (of course). But when the weakness happens we loose the stability and control as well. In most rehab clinics they only work till you have some function back but they don't usually care if you get full range back. If you want to improve your Range of motion in your knee, you need to improve the strength and control in the ranges your knee doesn't move through. In most cases reduce range of motion doesn't occur because the muscle is tight, it happens because the nervous system doesn't allow it. Show your nervous system control through new ranges and you will improve the mobility.
