Coach E offers 5 simple exercises to fix patellar tendonitis, aka jumper’s knee. These aren’t your standard stretching exercises. They will help whether this is a new pain after some time off from training or a longstanding issue that has finally outstayed its welcome.

You will target the underlying cause, whether it’s from weak foot muscles, stiff ankles, an overachieving quad, or anything in between. Then, as you go through each exercise, you’ll figure out which muscles haven’t been pulling their weight - something to keep in mind as you go about your day.

All of these can be done at home or anywhere with enough space to lay down. We try to avoid exercises requiring equipment, but you will need a long resistance band, foam roller, and stability ball for these. Exercise #4 is worth it - so much fun.
