I diagnosed a client today with patella tendinopathy. I have developed a management plan for them which incoporates SSTM, patella mobilisations, self management with heat/ice and quadricepss lengthening, and I have started them on an eccentric rehab program. This has been my approach to tendinopathy management for a while now and I just wonder what the evidence base for the eccentric program is and what everyone's thoughts are on this?
