208 | Persistent Knee Pain with Running or Jumping? Is it Knee Tendinitis?
Knee pain from running or jumping? Perhaps a knee tendonitis diagnosis? DocJen & Dr. Dom present current perspectives on understandings surrounding tendonitis and tendonopathy. As they describe the anatomy of the patella tendon, they dive into potential risk factors for tendonitis, stages of tendonopathy, and stages of rehabilitation for tendon re-modelling, Theu provide insight on whether or not ice is beneficial, the importance of activity modification, and the most optimal progressions to progressively loading the patella tendon. Learn how you can optimize your knees!
