While patellar tendonitis can affect anyone, it\u2019s often referred to as \u201cjumper&#8217;s knee\u201d because it\u2019s a common injury among athletes who participate in sports that require a lot of jumping, like volleyball, track and field, and basketball.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\"><strong>What causes patellar tendonitis?<br \/><\/strong>The patellar tendon works with the thigh muscles to straighten your leg. Simply overloading the patellar tendon by doing more activity than normal can cause some pain, says Cody Anderson, PT, DPT, a physical therapist at Hinge Health. \u201cOften, weekend warriors are affected by patellar tendonitis. For instance, if you normally play soccer once a week, but participate in a tournament and play six games over the weekend, you might hurt after that.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\">Certain activities tend to put a high load on the patellar tendon. A top cause is \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 jumping. \u201cJumping creates a large load because you have to propel yourself up, plus slow yourself down when you land,\u201d explains Dr. Anderson. Other activities that are common contributors include sports like volleyball, track and field (long jump or high jump), basketball, skiing, and weight lifting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\"><strong>Patellar tendonitis symptoms<\/strong><br \/>The symptoms of patellar tendonitis typically include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\">Knee pain\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\">Pain in the knee that worsens with activity, especially when jumping,\u00a0squatting,\u00a0running, or\u00a0going up and down stairs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\">Swelling<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\">Tenderness when pressing just below the kneecap\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\">Knee stiffness<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\"><strong>Patellar tendonitis treatment<\/strong><br \/>The following interventions can be used to treat pain related to patellar tendonitis:<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Activity modification. <\/b>A physical therapist (PT) can recommend exercises, like the ones above, to strengthen and restore range of motion in your patellar tendon. Working with a professional can also give you confidence to challenge your knee enough to heal without aggravating it.

Focus on gentle movement like\u00a0walking\u00a0and stretching to let the pain and inflammation subside while you take steps to build strength in the tendon, says Dr. Anderson. Once the initial pain and swelling has subsided, you can start gradually adding load to the tendon to strengthen and heal it with targeted patellar tendonitis exercises.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\"><b>Compression.<\/b>\u00a0As you ease into activity, orthotic taping or a patellar tendon strap can help reduce strain across the tendon caused by jumper\u2019s knee. Patellar tendon straps are worn just below the kneecap. They are designed to apply targeted pressure to the patellar tendon. This pressure helps distribute the load across the tendon more evenly. This can help alleviate pain during activities and allow you to continue moving and strengthening your knee.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"Body__Body1-sc-1rh0scr-0 useRichText__StyledBody1-sc-mdwg5f-6 cGUPTG iiQpAQ\" data-cy=\"rich-text-paragraph\"><b>Cold therapy.<\/b>\u00a0Apply\u00a0ice\u00a0for 10-20 minutes at a time to help constrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the affected area.
