Open Patella
Are there any solutions to patella tendonitis that work and R not unrealistic solutions or 2 invasive?
I have had to stop running since 1995 when I was diagnosed with patella tendonitis. I really want to run again without the pain associated with pat.tendonitis. The solutions given me by physical therapist were ridiculous and unrealistic, and didnt work. Never Used knee braces or straps…these too look like a simplistic money making scheme, though I am open to hearing from people who have found relief from these supports.
1. Strengthen the muscles on either side of your knee… quads, hamstrings and calf muscles. This will give better stability for your knee. So that your strong muscles can compensate for your week tendons.
2. Get properly fitted for a good pair of orthotics for your Running Shoes. This will give support and stability and, most importantly, will deal with the cause of your PT. NB- not all orthotics are created equally. Since you have a chronic problem, you need a good pair.
