Top 7 Knee Pain Relief Treatments – Ask Doctor Jo

pain No Comments »

General knee pain often comes from tightness in your leg muscles and the knee joint itself. Here a some easy ways to help with knee pain relief. Use code DOCTORJO10 to get 10% off the knee support sleeve featured in this video: http://www.sleeve-stars.com/askdrjo (affiliate link)

The first knee pain relief treatment is patella mobs or kneecap mobs. Since the patella is connected to the quad tendon and the patellar tendon, it’s important to keep it loose so it doesn’t put extra pressure on your knee joint.

The next two knee pain relief exercises are quad and hamstring sets. Isometric exercises are a great way to strengthen the muscles without irritating them. It’s also a great way to relax the muscles and prevent tightness and spasms.

Another great knee pain treatment is to use a knee support sleeve. The folks at Sleeve Stars sent me their knee support sleeve. The sleeve can really help with the compression component of the sleeve. It can help decrease swelling, increase circulation, and warm up the muscles to help prevent further injury.

The last three treatments are stretches for the calf/hamstrings, IT band, and quads. All these muscles and tendons cross the knee joint. So when they are tight, they can cause increased pain. Stretching them out consistently will help relieve the pain.

How to Fix Patellar Tendonitis (No More KNEE PAIN!)

pain No Comments »

Patellar tendon pain is a common injury to the knee, and today I want to share how this problem occurs, how to know if this is really tendinopathy and the first steps to fixing.

Your tendons speak the language of load. Depending on a number of factors (such as how intense you have trained throughout your years as an athlete, the medications you take, whether or not you have diabetes, etc.) your body will have adapted your tendon to a certain set point of strength called the “load tolerance” level.

Training loads placed on the tendon that do not severely exceeded this set level create a cellular response in the tendon (that can actually be seen by ultrasound) that will return to normal in 2-3 days given proper recovery methods (this is the normal time frame for the adaption “replenishment” process to take place).27 However, if the load placed on the tendon is too extreme or if there is inadequate recovery in the athlete’s training program, this balanced process is disrupted. When this occurs the process tips from being adaptive to pathological. A spark is lit and the injury process begins.

Young athletes (under the age of 30) who are involved in sports that include sudden explosive and repetitive movements of the knee are most susceptible to developing an injury at either the quad or patellar tendons. Movements that use the tendons of the knee as a spring (such as a jump) place significantly more load on the tendon than a slower movement like a squat. Historically, this is why sports such as basketball and volleyball that involve a high amount of jumping have such a high incidence of this injury (a reason why this injury is also known as “jumper’s knee”).

The teaching I present today is based primarily from the renowned work of professor Jill Cook. Check out this blog post for a more in-depth discussion on everything I discussed today along with more ideas for the rehab process: https://squatuniversity.com/2018/01/04/fixing-patellar-quad-tendon-pain/
