Thank you so much for watching! Be sure to check out the blog for all references: e3rehab.com/quadriceps-tendinopathy-rehab/

[@JackSPk]

Best rehab content on the entire internet. Parkour people are very grateful to you 🙏

[@Choadeymcgriff]

Too distracted by my quad-envy to learn anything. Thanks, Marc and E3, great information as always!

[@infini.tesimo]

I really do like these breakdowns because it helps me identify the true causes of injuries I have going on in which a simple tutorial and brief explanation won't cover it. It seems like my pain is extensor related in the lower part of the patellar tendon but specific to the inner right side of my left knee when I try to get that last 30-40 degrees of extension for a seated leg extension. This is stemming from a knee dislocation I had back in December of 2023 and while I'm able to walk on it mostly, it has been challenging to walk downstairs as that knee will not contract or rather is too weak to pull it back as I put my right foot down on the next step. Hoping to self heal myself without surgery or going to physical therapy as I'm just not able to afford it these days.

[@NickLeggett]

Such a great breakdown, thank you!

[@food88food]

Thx E3 rehab- such great videos

[@Sina0123-st8jm]

I searched for this content just 4 hours ago and there was nothing. And suddenly Booooooom. I am really grateful. As a sports biomechanics PhD student, I learned a lot from you.

[@Dynamic101]

That's why I set reminder of the query I 've long time in the future Who knows .. When breakthrough is achieved???

[@vatchev]

very informative video as aways. keep up the amazing work!

[@bellagdur9786]

Thanknyoucsooo much. Amazing video, thank you!

[@Dynamic101]

I like the way he say totally calm totally clear .

[@xpurifiedx]

This is so good! I'm 40 an I regular have problems with this, despite the fact i can ATG Pause-Squat 400lbs without pain, but can't tolerate any kind of jumping or single leg squat,. Will try!

[@TheInsida1]

Thanks for this!

[@rakso93]

Thanks for this great video! Incredibly helpful and motivational!

[@E3Rehab]

Thank you!

[@digitalobserved]

Amazing content, thank you so much. I will apply some of these exercises tomorrow on some of my patients. Video suggestions: rehab after patellar luxation and the mysterious deep gluteal syndrome.

[@Golemofstone]

Thumbs up for the pupper scritches @2:12 👍

[@karlsmith9186]

Excellent video and exactly what I needed. I've been dealing with quadriceps tendinopathy for about two months now in my left leg. I know it's not patellar tendinopathy, as I've had that in my right leg and know what that feels like

[@DasJoppe]

I'm glad you went into how long rehab can take. I've been doing rehab for both patellar tendonitis and quadriceps tendinopathy for about 1 month now. The pain used to be so bad that I couldn't sit down or stand up from my chair without my arms doing most of the work. Now it is feeling a lot better, though the pain is still there to a significant degree. This made me wonder if I've been doing it wrong in some way or if it's something I'll just have to live with for the next 50 years or so. But I now understand that rehab can take a lot longer than 1 month. And it is certainly going in the right direction.

[@hambaallah-mn1em]

hey can I ask you questions? Does you knee swells? Does the swelling gone after rehab? or shrinking?

[@DasJoppe]

@@hambaallah-mn1em I never had any swelling. I did get the feeling of soreness or tightness in my knees after walking for more than 30mins, but now that doesn't happen anymore.

[@hambaallah-mn1em]

@@DasJoppe my knee has been swelling around almost 2 month now. the doctor gave me inflammatory medicines but the swell still there and the pang around the knee still there.

[@FCBergenINC]

So we can do 3-5 sets of isometrics, 1-3x per day if we go with the daily option?

[@Matthewejbaker]

I wish I had this video a few years ago, but damn this bang on the money

[@user-vj8qm3qc2k]

Amazing video like always! What are your thoughts on vitamin C supplementation (with or without collagen peptides) for tendinopathies? There is some research for helping the collagen synthesis and i read one with human subjects that it seemed to help then but I am not entirely convinced. Would you suggest to someone with tendinopthy to take it because is low risk and low cost? Or do you think it will take attention away from the main treatment?

[@EsordCZ]

1:00 - Honestly you could interchange patellar/quadriceps tendinopathy throughout the video, and it'd still make perfect sense. Near identical exercises, progression, etc. Feels nearly identical to you patellar tendinopathy video from ~2yrs ago, but that's not inherently bad, just highlights that the approach hasn't changed since :) Shows how similarly tendinopathy around the patella is/should be treated and that there's (generally) no need for hyper-specific exercises. (personally dealing with patellar tendinopathy, but can feel my quad tendon from time to time as well, just not as prominent)

[@SanttuMantsinen]

Hi! Have you noticed how common it is to have problems in other parts of the knee during the jumpers knee symptoms? Like posterior pain/tightness in joint capsule or overall joint capsule stiffness and ROM deficit? Any experience if there is some relation between calf muscle weakness and quadriceps tendinopathy? Thanks for the video!

[@DemnedInBlack]

Gold

[@juanfarias6972]

Thank you for this video. Can you make a how to rehab video for pes anserinus/goose foot tendinopathy?

[@gaganmeetsingh7195]

Can you Please make a video on patellar mal tracking 🙂

[@_amatose]

Please do a video on knee fat pad impingement thank you.

[@arabaaduah2682]

Thanks for this content! Question on behalf of my partner - I have been diagnosed with Quad tendonitis. It developed shortly after I started squatting with 40kg+. I have now gone down to 30kg, I feel no pain while squatting 30kg but the day after my knee feels tender. Is it ok to feel pain the day after or is that a sign to decrease my squatting weight even more?

[@Ulipio]

single leg wall sit is insane, managed 35s, aiming for a 100 seconds

[@muazali6560]

Can you guys do goosefoot (per anserine) tendinopathy/tendonitis

[@NicolasAppendino]

What about eccentric exercises? Isn’t that a big part in tendon rehab?

[@Ulipio]

COOL

[@karpuzye]

For the people in this case, Do you recommend wearing barefoot shoes during the day?

[@JuanPabloMontiel-fd8br]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@evolike7209]

And what if the pain come back after all that process?

[@miladzadeh]

Bodybuilder here: my pain has gotten so bad from heavy squatting and leg pressing 2-3 times per week that i cant even do the stage 0 exercises without severe 8-9 pain range

[@RogueElement.]

Sounds bad. Cut all that heavy load down and do bodyweight only.

[@RogueElement.]

Correct form and push through the pain... If it's on both knees you need to check out hip and ankle mobility issues. Check out squat University for that...

[@RogueElement.]

Expect a rehab of about 6 months!

[@RogueElement.]

dogs 😍

[@anjoLas]

Study finds: the more you train harder, the more it hurts. Who knew huh

[@batatahigh382]

One thing most people don't know is that you need to train and even to feel some level of pain in your training to get better. This is really interesting 😉

[@anjoLas]

@@batatahigh382 SOME level of pain, yes. I'm a former high level Judo competitor and, I practice martial arts since I was 3. I'm currently 44. Just do the math. Been in gyms since I was able to walk/talk. If I knew then what I know today, I would stick to the treadmills, walks on the beaches (less impact) and would no go to the competitive way.

[@anonymousman4419]

​@@anjoLas Some of us need to train hard in order to look like we lift. I'm ready to deal with some pain in order not to be a stick figure.

[@runningdrew6654]

get off your heal. my 2 cents.

[@JuanPabloMontiel-fd8br]
