Jumper's Knee

Patellar Tendinitis or "Jumper's Knee" is a pain or tenderness just below the patella (kneecap).  The pain is caused by inflammation of the patellar tendon (think band of tissue connecting the patella to the tibia/shinbone).

Causes:

• Overuse
• repeated stress on the patellar tendon can cause tiny micro fiber tears in tendon that leads to inflammation

Treatments:

• Hot/Cold Therapy Wrap
• Ice
• Foam rollers
• Roller massagers
