How to Heal Jumpers Knee
Jumpers knee is usually just overload to the tendon. Isometrics are very good for unhealthy tissue, because you're at the force attenuation through the tendon changes with an isometric and you actually start to stimulate the degenerative part of the tendon. I quite like using a belt squat and doing isometrics in mid range position,. Depending on the severity or dependent on what to achieve or change the prescription of the time and the load., it can be pretty effective. They've been shown to have good analgesic effect. But it depends on how chronic it is. If it's more of just like an acute flare up, then sometimes just like longer isometric holds are pretty good.
