Patella Tendinopathy vs. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome | Expert Physio Guide

Straight leg raised fixed my mild chondromalacia in a week, and it only came back when I slacked off the raises. Now I'm pretty sure I've got patella tendonosis (for about 7 years), which has proven to be much more difficult to manage. I'm "only" a cyclist, so I don't subject my knees to the larger forces of jumping, etc

Excellent information. Clear as a bell. Thanks!

quality stuff! keep it up :)

I think you absolutely can have both, i do, maybe the idea of not being able do having both makes harder for people that do have both to find a good protocol to overcome these two patologies

🔥🔥

Amazing as always Eucharisto and parakalo

Nice :) I have a video on patellar tendinopathy coming out next week ;)

Hello, I'm uncertain if you'l come across this message, but I have a question I'd appreciate if you could address Firstly, thank you for providing such content and sharing your valuable knowledge. I've been experiencing pain in the back of my right knee for the past three weeks. The team physio advised a 7-day course of anti-inflammatory pills, which somewhat alleviated the back knee pain after 10 days. However, I started feeling discomfort in the knee next to the ligament. The physio mentioned that my patella had slightly shifted (Patellofemoral ayndrome)but assured me it's not a serious issue, and I should recover in about a month. I just came across your page and wanted to ask you if those symptoms are 100% patellofemoral syndrome? My knee doesn't click, but there's persistent pain on the inner side when I bend it, walk, or climb stairs.

thank

Very nice! :-) 😊

Thank you for the information,I fell on my knee about 5 months ago and still in pain…any advice would be great

I have Hoffa's Fat Pad Syndrome, and it's actually very painful. The fat pads on both of my knees are constantly swollen and always irritated. My physical therapist tells me it's because my knees go slightly inwards, which puts the wrong load on my knees. Therefore, I need to get special soles now, which will provide extra support under the gap in my foot so my knees won't bend as much inwards. I also need to train my legs and hips

My doctor told me that I have Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, a touch of Patella Tendonitis, and IFP / Hoffa's fat pad...  Not an athlete, got diagnosed at 27, I am 30 now and post surgery from subtotal inflamed fat pad removal, what do I do? :(

so if hip and knee exercises gave he same results that may tell how much of this is in the patient mind-set e.g. catastrophizing and fear avoidance especially in the sedentary population

Can patellar tendonitis also hurt when knees bent for a long time? All my symptoms and MRI point towards tendonitis but it only hurts/aggrevated when my knee is bent for an extended period.

Is this video about difference between Patella tendonitis and Patellofemoral syndrome?

How long does patellar femoral pain last? I think I have this from injury from bending, six months now I feel my patella was not tracking properly, when I activate my quad my patella clicks.

I believe I have both of these unfortunately

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome vs quadriceps tendon pain

The commonly do not exist with eachother but can they?
