    Below is MY rehab regimen, I am not saying this is how you should recover from your patellar tendinitis as everyone recovers at different speeds. I was always listening to my body, tracking how I felt, and making the next day's workout dependent on that.
    My Rehab Regimen:
    Day 1-10: Stopped all weightlifting, soccer, and running activities, rested as much as possible, iced 3-5x a day for 20 minutes. My goal was to rest until
    Day 11-18: Introduced static stretching and light bodyweight exercises as long as it didn't hurt my knee and make it worse the next day. If knee felt better than the day before, I progressively made each workout harder than the previous by adding more sets, reps, or time.
    Day 19-28: Started to introduce biking to the workout regimen. Progressively making each biking session harder than the previous if knee allowed so. Continued to stretch and preform bodyweight workouts.
    Day 29-40: Started to introduce light jogging and running workouts. Stopped biking, but continued to stretch. Again, made each workout harder than the last as long as knee responded well and felt stronger. Started to also add weight to all exercises and progressively added more and more weight with each workout.
    Day 41-48: Started to add soccer training sessions to the workout regimen. Continued to stretch, perform exercises with increasingly heavier weights, and continued to make each running workout harder than the last. Made each soccer training session slightly more rigorous than the last.
    Day 49+: Started Preseason with Saint Louis FC. Stopped personal soccer training and running sessions, but continued to stretch and perform exercises with added weight.

Doing eccentric body weight squats, wall sits, and eccentric step downs on training days, stretches on off training days and mobility exercises almost everyday. My goal is to be way stronger than i used to be. Thank you for this video!!

      @@nolanmusey6649 Had covid in between so had to put in a break but back at it again and now finally I am able to jogg again. Did my first 2km yesterday at a moderate 9 km/h which is decent i think. Also started putting on weight while squatting so I began yesterday with 10 kg and 10 reps with very good almost knee parallel form. Listen the most important things are 1. patience
      2. preventing relapses. If youre proceeding even at a low speed its already a win. You just need to make sure that there is always enough regeneration time between your Workouts.
      Looking forward to be doing mild drills on the pitch next week.

    Great video - I can see how seeing your journey is likely to be really important for people that suffer from overuse injuries, as they can see that time and a gradual approach to healing is required. This has helped me see the process that others take and the gentler approach needed. Many times I have rushed back from injuries because I just loved playing and missed the social aspect of the game, but this resulted in a early retirement, a part from the odd 6 a-side game. Maybe there is still time for me to rehabilitate my injuries with a more measured approach. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

I have been sticking to your regime, but in my own format. So far i've been away from the pitch for about 3 months but my day to day activity is back to normal and my resistance is significantly improving. I just began biking and will work till I get to that 30 min goal. It has been a frustrating time being away from the game but the progress has not gone unnoticed. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    I feel so down lately. January 30 was the last time I played soccer. I really felt like I was improving tremendously, and that day I received a knee-to-knee punch (its not the right word but english is not my main language). Since that so much has changed in my life... Go out everyday and practice was the biggest and greatest part of my life, it was the reason I woke up everyday motivated and ready to take one little more step into my dream... Since I got injured, specially mentally, I'm not the same. My parents got into my head and all I do right now is study, focus on my future cause soccer is for one in a million and blablabla. I dont even identify myself anymore as an athlete, the only thing I still do is go to the gym and lift weights, which helps in a way but its not nearly as important as recognize yourself and have your goal in mind. Anyway, sorry for the big text, just wanted to share, cause no one on my life knows how much work I was putting into that until I got hurt... This video kinda made me feel better, playing soccer again is what I want, its what makes me feel happy.

    I've had this since *March 15.* I first felt pain at a gym training session with a (then) 3rd division PT in Poland.. If anyone is reading, injuries are not easy.. It's mostly just suffering if you don't have the right support and mindset. Try and stay positive. Find a hobby. Look up "affirmations for athletes" and listen to the tape every day.imagine yourself having your best performance. Watch and analyze football like a specialist. It's not easy, but you choose your story. Give up, or be patient and work you way above and beyond
    I'm not back to action yet, but hoping to be back soon.

During these months of time i felt like i i have recovered and had no pain at all then i played soccer and triggered again at least twice. it is a very slow process and you have to build up gradually don't do something funny which might hurt you again. This is so frustrating for me but this video definitely made me feel better. i will start it again.Thx for sharing your video.

    I have dealt with patellar tendonitis off and on since my freshman year of playing college soccer. I played every game with patellar bands my junior and senior year. I still play men's league regularly and the rest of my body feels great for being old and washed up but the patellar tendonitis has still plagued me and made me want to quit playing.
    This video helped reassure me that my rehab program can work and will work if I just stay patient and continue to progress incrementally. Nowadays I think having a desk job then playing soccer at a high intensity once or twice a week is too much for my knee and I need to scale back and progress much slower. Appreciate you sharing!

    Platelets injection or PRP as it's known can help if you're tendonitis is chronic. Make sure to get an MRI scan done beforehand, go private if you have to. Next step is isometric exercises... People don't fully know what you're going through... Get a foam roller, therabands, start working on your glutes, hamstrings, calves.
    Begin bodyweighted exercises, and add loading but with moderation.
    I hope this helps.

I need to stop being greedy on the strengthening part cuz i be adding too much weight on leg press. i needa slow down cuz i stay injuring more and new parts of my lower body

    Dear Matt,
    Just wanted to say that this video is so helpful to me and you are really inspiring.
    At the moment, I am having some unintentional cramps on my knee tendon, that are usually happend when I put too much overload on my knee during team trainings etc.
    At this period of time and even before I felt incomplete, like if I am going in the darkness, not sure what my plans are.
    It's a rough decision for me, but now, after I have watched this video, I know what my plans are. I know what I am going to do about it. I am going to ask for a rest from my coach, as long as it takes, to diagnose and treat my knee the same way you did.
    I have always been training on and off, depends if I felt this cramp or not. I never stopped training, which was a mistake.
    Now, when I have my plan made up in my mind, thing are lot easier - I know where I am going to.
    Thank you sincerely.

    One tip for injuries like this- be careful that an exercise might feel good when doing it, but might cause worse pain the next day. It can be very deceiving. Sometimes just solid rest with very light walking can help tremendously. If a physical therapist keeps giving you exercise after exercise and it's not getting better- the exercises are probably causing delayed pain.

      For me it started from pushing too hard without proper warmup, then ignore the pain and push through it which makes it worse and worse. And not giving it proper time to heal, it requires many sessions of gradually increasing strain to rebuild it, with full recovery periods between. Also, I think my initial case started from banging my tendon on something which wouldn't normally be an issue, but then immediately riding my bike a long way ignoring the pain. Then ignoring it further a week later and running a 10 km race.... not giving it the respect it deserves.

    • @jebin2
      @jebin2 Před 2 lety +2

      The root can be various. Too tight quads, too weak knee flexors, too loose ligaments that allow too much axial knee movement and thus pull in the lateral sides of the patellar ligament. Also inherited sharp inferior pole of the patellar bone. Maybe even autoimmune related, when the inflammation is mainly in the fat pad below the tendon. Maybe a mixture of some or two. High inflammation markers in synovial fluid could associate with increased risk of inflammation and recurence.
      Check with a doctor, id give you my adress but im from Germany. If you suffer for years, consider an athroscopic treatment. It can Change everything:)
