✅At the most basic level, patellar tendon pain and a loss of function related to mechanical loading are required for the diagnosis of patellar tendinopathy.
—
The pain is expected to be localized to the inferior pole of the patella (cover picture) and have a dose-dependent relationship with the magnitude and rate of loading.
—
For example, I’d expect a single leg squat to hurt more than a double leg squat. I’d also expect a double leg jump to hurt more than a double leg squat. The patellar tendon is affected more by the speed of the movement, or the rate of loading, and this is an important consideration for exercise selection and programming.
—
Most tendinopathy protocols have isometrics listed as “stage 1,” but I don’t think there’s an isometric milestone that you need to pass before performing other types of exercises. However, they do have the potential to provide an analgesic effect and are typically quite tolerable since little to no movement is occurring.

I’ve provided five examples so you can choose what works best for you based on your preference, equipment availability, tolerance, function, etc.

1️⃣ Wall Sit
2️⃣ Heel Elevated Wall Sit
3️⃣ Single Leg Wall Sit
