Patella Tendonitis – You Runners Knee

Firstly you will be assessed to ensure that this is the injury you have and that there aren't any other corresponding factors at play. There are several different types of knee injury and a correct diagnosis is important to ensure you get the correct treatment.

Common Treatment Approach
* Please note that treatments are tailored to the individual and their needs and can vary from the information below which is presented as just a guide.

• Use of Cryotherapy (ice) to reduce inflammation and swelliing
• Myofascial Dry Needling (MDN) to facilitate the healing process and minimise swelling
• Active Release to the surrounding soft tissues (muscles)
• PNF stretching
• Tendon friction release
• Advise on strengthening exercises or stretches to build balance and strength back into your knee.

All sessions do include hands on treatment as well as guidance on how to modify your activity to cater for your current injury. Continuing to exercise is very important to a lot of people and often times with modification this goal can be achieved.

Once you are able to go back to full activity you will be guided on how to build your strength back up. You can read about our Sports Chiro services here and you can also read more about our approach to treatment.
