MOST EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR A PATELLAR TENDINOSIS 

1. Hands on, hands on, hands on… from my experience it is the only treatment that really helps. A combination of deep tissue massage, mobilization, friction massage. ​​100% of the professional tennis players with patellar tendinosis get a hands on treatment at least once a day.

2. Ice or heat? This is easy. USA=Ice. Rest of the world=heat. My opinion is that unless there is a big swelling the heat is more effective.

3. Thimblex massage. Specially in chronic patellar tendinosis scar tissue and adhesion are present. Thimblex massage is a new therapy I use with my patients and I find it really effective for this injury. Check the the web page www.thimblex.com for more information.
