Are you struggling with patellar tendonitis (“Jumper’s Knee”) and can’t seem to make progress in recovering from it no matter what you do? It’s not your fault.Keep reading to learn the surprising truth about how you can finally fix this situation.The author’s story:“Back when I suffered from patellar tendonitis, I thought I was doing everything possible to treat this injury. I was stretching regularly, warming up before games, strengthening my legs, and doing whatever else doctors suggested might help. However, the pain never stopped.Sure, some days were better than others were, but I was still in pain and my athletic performance was severely handicapped. I was frustrated with my lack of progress, and I couldn’t believe that for all the effort and dedication I put into my training, I was being punished with pain that was impossible to get rid of. The worst part was that every time I thought I had made progress, the pain returned. The whole experience was so depressing that I almost quit playing my sport.Today, my knees are completely pain-free. I can play my favorite sports and train exercises that are extremely tough on my knees, such as deep single-leg squats, without having to worry about knee pain. I would have never imagined this to be possible. Today, my legs are stronger than before my injury, and the best part is that I know exactly how I can continue to get them into even better shape without any risk.The reason I struggled with patellar tendonitis for so long wasn’t my fault. I already knew some of the things I had to do, but to beat the odds, I needed to fix a number of hidden causes for patellar tendonitis and learn how to strengthen my weakened knees without reinjuring them. It took 3 years of research and self-experimentation to collect this knowledge, but now it is easily available in this book.”– Martin Koban, Author of Total Knee HealthThe reason people struggle with healing jumper’s knee is because they’re using an outdated treatment approach that is based on research just as outdated. Your rehab efforts are doomed to fail if you don’t eliminate all hidden causes for patellar tendonitis. These often ignored causes determine how much stress you patellar tendon is subjected to when you’re moving and if you don’t correct them, you will continue to overload your patellar tendon and the injury will simply reappear.Beating Patellar Tendonitis will hand you a proven treatment formula to fix these hidden causes of jumper’s knee and give you the tools you need to stay pain-free for life. The advice in this book is based on 3 years of self-experimentation through trial and error, hundreds of research studies published in academic journals, and the combined knowledge of thought leaders in the fitness industry.You Need to Buy This Book If:You’re an athlete with patellar tendonitis and you want to set new personal recordsYou want to get rid of tendonitis knee pain once and for allYou play volleyball, basketball, or any other sport that requires a lot of jumping and you want to stay on top of your competitionYou’re an athletic trainer and want your clients to stay healthyYou’re a doctor and want to learn more ways how you can help your patients beat patellar tendonitis Read more
Review
I was skeptical of a book being able to help me through this, but I'm healed! Here's my story:About 9 months ago I must have overdone it at some point when running. I was also overconfident and stupid. I skipped stretching and also did not do the correct stretches. I started suffering from debilitating knee pain before I even reached a mile of running. I figured I hit a surface the wrong way so I took a few days off like I normally would. I came back in 3 days, still had pain. So I took two weeks off. When I tried again the pain was even worse. I read that you need to rest for 2 months. I did that, still had pain. I went to a personal trainer, he told me I have flat feet and gave me some feet exercises and to take time off. I did that and I still had pain.Finally, I went to a physical therapist. She diagnosed me with jumper's knee (patellar tendonitis) She did some dry needling and recommended I do quad and IT band stretches and foam roll. She told me that I was only feeling pain from tight quads pulling at the tendon. She also claimed I needed insoles in my shoes. I'm sure she was working with what she knew but I think it was outdated knowledge.After trying again after 3 weeks of self massage and stretching the pain came back once again and I was truly defeated. At this stage I not only couldn't run, I couldn't hike either. This was devastating for my mental health because as much as I love running, hiking is near and dear to me. Then, I stumbled upon Martin's youtube channel.After reading other reviews for this book and seeing Martin's confidence I decided to read this book and give it a shot. I followed Martin's directions to the letter and stuck with it. The first phase it pretty brutal and eats up a lot of time. A silver lining to the COVID crisis and quarantine meant I suddenly had all the time in the world to commit to this. So I did. I followed the training plans through all phases. Once I had no more pain I followed Martin's advice and took an extra 4-6 weeks of training, the secret test. Make sure you really follow the training plans! No excuses, because they work!Last week I went hiking for an hour with no pain, and today I went running for a mile with no pain at all. Previously, I couldn't hike for more than 15 minutes before I got terrible pain. I couldn't run for a quarter of a mile without horrible pain. I am beyond thrilled with these results. This book is legit, and Martin is the real deal! He really knows what he's talking about! I have also followed Martin's advice to try minimalist shoes and barefoot running which has made a huge difference as well. My feet are getting stronger and running forefoot greatly reduces the stress on my knees. I've recently also learned as a result of this that I can eliminate my over pronation through barefoot/minimal shoe running! Insoles be gone.I highly recommend getting the book as opposed to only looking at his website because it's a fascinating read that explains the reasons for this injury in depth. You will have a better understanding of your body and how you can help it or hurt it going forward. For me, this has been the catalyst to taking better care of myself and taking a healthy, intelligent approach to fitness. Truly life changing! I plan on buying Martin's other book, Total Knee Health, as well. This experience gives me the confidence I can go through life and age gracefully without joint issues as long as I take care of them.If you are struggling with patellar tendonitis, or just want to learn how to have healthier knees and better running/sports habits, please please please buy this book! Thank you Martin!
