Patellar tendinopathy

Patellar tendinopathy is a tendon overuse problem affecting the tendon just below the kneecap. It is common in active people who do a lot of jumping, sprinting, or sudden changes in direction. Symptoms often build up over time and may interfere with sports, squatting, stair use, and lower-body training.
