You will learn to evaluate for muscular tightness in the quadriceps and hamstrings that contribute to this condition. At Rebound Athletics our approach is always to look above and below the problem. So we teach you to also evaluate for muscular tightness of the hips, groin, and calf muscles that also contribute to Jumper's Knee. This is the new approach, to go beyond the obvious to see how the other joints and muscles in the kinetic chain are contributing to Jumper's Knee. We will show you a systematic program of stretches and then strengthening of the muscles from the hips down to the calf muscles. Finally, we will show you functional exercises for conditioning of the muscles of the kinetic chain. These exercises use multiple muscles in multiple planes to strengthen the movements required in your sport. This improves your strength and endurance and improves stride length which is critical for runners. This program will treat your Jumper's Knee and get you ready to return to sport pain free.
