Jumper's Knee

Physiotherapy for Jumper's Knee in Bridgend, Cardiff, Carmarthen, Newport, and Porthcawl

Jumper's Knee, medically known as patellar tendinopathy, is a condition caused by overuse or repetitive stress on the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone. This condition is common in athletes who participate in sports involving frequent jumping, such as basketball, volleyball, or track and field. It can cause pain, tenderness, and swelling around the knee. Physiotherapy is a key treatment option to manage symptoms, improve strength, and prevent future injuries.
