Patellar Tendonitis treatment does not have to be complicated and take months if you have the correct plan of attack...

What is Patellar Tendonitis?

It is most commonly referred to as "Jumpers Knee." It is an injury that involves the tendons that connect to your knee cap, which is known as the patella to your tibia which is known as your shin bone. It occurs when the surrounding muscles especially the quadriceps are overused and build up this fibrous scar tissue which forces the area to be stiff and rigid-this then does not allow the tendon to work properly and it becomes damaged.

It is often seen in athletes who participate in: jumping, soccer, volleyball, basketball, etc. Athletes are not the only people need Patellar Tendonitis treatment but other people who do not engage in strenuous physical activity are at risk for getting it as well.

How does P2 sports accomplish Patellar Tendonitis Treatment?

First you must understand how inflammation of the tendon could occur. Many times when tissues in the body become overused they have a tendency of developing small tears from micro-trauma. These tears within tendons and other soft tissues fill up with scar tissue overtime. This scar tissue is not as flexible and resilient as normal tendinous tissue and as a result can tear again easily and the cycle will continue, thus leading to the development of a repetitive stress injury. This is how the problem can become chronic.

At P2 Sports Care we believe much of the RICE method can be done at home when the injury is acute (fresh). However, rarely do we consider Patellar Tendonitis as an acute or traumatic injury. When most people feel pain in the patellar region it has actually had a "silent" problem for months, so it is perfect for our Patellar Tendonitis treatment.

We focus on a systematic approach to improving the health of the problematic tendons/ muscles and give instructions for prevention of re-injury.

Remove scar tissue from the problematic tissue using Active Release Techniques® (ART®) -- "Gold Standard of Soft Tissue Care"
Provide safe, yet effective strength training exercises
Find the "silent" root cause and give neurological re-education exercises for correction -- In cases of an overuse injury

P2 Sports Care provides "Hands-on" treatment, which has been proven to be effective more times than not.
