Knee Pain - Quadriceps Muscle Massage and Patella Mobilization

KNEE PAIN
Pain in the anterior part of the knee in the patellar tendon... also known as patellar tendonitis...
Symptoms of this knee pain will be clearly felt when standing up after squatting, especially after squatting for a long time.
To relieve this pain, massage can be performed, especially on the quadriceps muscle, the muscle in the front of the thigh...
The massage technique used is the pressure and rotation technique...
Start with light pressure and work up to a fairly strong intensity...
This pressure and rotation technique is quite easy to do and can be done independently.
This technique is also a safe method and can avoid massage errors, especially for those who do not understand the anatomy of the quadriceps muscle in sufficient detail...
Next, the thing to do to reduce knee pain from patellar tendonitis is the patellar mobilization technique.
This technique will reduce tension on the patellar tendon by moving the patella in all directions—up and down. left right or rotating movements...
