A programme to strengthen the quadriceps muscle provides eccentric strengthening in particular. With these exercises to strengthen and at the same time lengthen the muscles, it is assumed that maximum healing of the patellar tendon syndrome can be achieved. By stretching different muscle groups, tensions that increase the pressure on the patellar tendon can be released, thus helping to reduce the pain at the patellar tendon.
A physiotherapist can apply transverse friction techniques such as friction massage and recommend further rehabilitation measures. The jumper band relieves the tendon at its base by pressing on the patellar tendon and the lower edge of the patella.
