Knee Pain?
I have the highest vertical in the world but somehow my knees are stronger and more healthy than the average athlete, and im about to tell you HOW!
The tendons in your knee are like thick cables. Every run, jump, and deep squat pulls on them.
Over time, that repeated tugging causes little micro tears. Normally, your body repairs those while you sleep
BUT if you keep loading the tendon before it’s healed, those tears stack up.The tissue gets irritated.Pain shows up.
Knee pain is usually a load problem
Manage the load correctly, and the tendon adapt (and get stronger), Ignore it and you'll have knee pain!
Micro tears aren’t good or bad, your recovery and load management decide the outcome.
Enough recovery → stronger, stiffer tendons
Poor recovery or excess load → irritated, painful tendons
Next im talking about how we can treat / recover from an already inflamed tendon!
