Physios of TWTD 19:06 - Jan 21 with 898 viewsLesta_Tractor

I've been suffering with calcific patella tendinopathy in my right knee for the last 18 months or so and I'm rapidly going from a slender sub 3hr marathon physique to something akin to the belly from that old reebok advert.

I've tried a variety of concentric and eccentric squats, had several sessions of shockwave therapy and a high volume injection without any improvement of symptoms... Obviously my physio is as much use as those employed by ITFC.

Any suggestions on what I can do to get back to pain free running?

Swimming (when the pools open) and cycling will help reduce the impact but promote blood flow.

Fair play if you've run a sub 3 mara.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

Was doing a lot of cycling during the summer but I'm a bit too soft for cycling in the cold!

I’m not surprised, that’s a ridiculous effort. Just need to take another hour off and you’ll be battling it out with Kipchoge

Sorry to hear, lockdown blues? All good here at, welcome to drop a PM (or message on FB assume you remember who I am!) if you wanted to catchup buh

How could I forget!


Kipchoge? I'd settle for getting back to being competitive in local races.

Have you been given any other knee strengthening exercises other than squats?
Maybe something along these lines:

Hi,

Calcific patella tendinopathies are quite rare, and very tricky to manage. To be honest it’s no great surprise you’ve been struggling this long.

It’s sounds like you have had a lot of forms of treatment, but have you had a running pattern analysis? If running is your main aggravating factor it may be worth getting one done because it may well be that increasing your cadence will reduce the strain on your patella tendon and start to relieve your symptoms so you can build your running up again.

Another option could be blood-flow restriction training for the hypertrophic effect it will have on quads to reduce the stress on your tendon.

I would recommend josh congdon at reflex-18, they are based in Colchester but he is an incredibly good practitioner.

Hope this helps!

Been told to do different mixes of those, except the one at the end with the ball between the knees
