Rehabilitation Guidelines for Patellar Tendinopathy

Patellar tendinopathy is characterized by localized pain at the inferior pole of the patella.
The condition is caused by the intensity, frequency, and volume of patellar tendon loading exceeding the body's capacity to recover and adapt.
Inflammation is not the primary driver of the condition, so rest and ice are not the main focus of rehabilitation.
The goal of rehabilitation is to find a "goldilocks" level of loading that keeps symptoms tolerable during and after activity.
Exercise is a key component of rehabilitation and should be performed for three or more months to improve function and tolerance to various activities.
Adjunct treatments, such as corticosteroid injections, platelet-rich plasma, and shockwave therapy, are not well-supported by research and may not provide long-term benefits.
Foam rolling, massage, and icing can be tried as low-cost and low-risk options, but they should not take away from the main goal of increasing function.
Patellar tendinopathy takes time, patience, consistency, and dedication to a structured rehabilitation plan.
Squat progressions, split squats, step-downs, and single-leg seated knee extensions are recommended exercises for loading the patellar tendon.
Slow and controlled repetitions with a specific tempo, such as a 3-second descent, 1-second pause, and 3-second ascent, are recommended during exercise.
Stage 2 of rehabilitation includes jumping, landing, plyometrics, and exercises that prioritize a faster rate of loading.
Rehabilitation should be tailored to individual circumstances and goals, and not all stages may be necessary for everyone.
