jumpers knee (patellar tendinitis) cure?

Take a few Feldenkrais classes. You should also have a complete analysis of your body. Your problem may not be in your knee but your ankle, heel, hip or shoulder. If your heel, for instance, suppinates or pronates when you land on it, that can cause a torque in your knee. Although the problem isn't a weak knee, the knee will absorb the tension and become injured. Just like a car out of alignment will eat up tires. The tires are not the problem.

A friend of mine had knee problems and his new doctor said the problem was in his hip. When he had a hip replacement, the knee problem went away. It was a physical therapist who then discovered that his hip problem was caused by a shoulder problem he had since he was a teen when he fell off a roof.
