Q Will patellar tendinitis not recur once it is cured? I am worried about whether I should continue exercising.
A Patellar tendinitis has a high recurrence rate, so gradual load increases, warm-up exercises, and stretching are essential when resuming exercise. Correcting muscle imbalances and improving lower limb alignment beforehand can significantly reduce the risk of recurrence. Most people can continue exercising if they return gradually after a sufficient recovery.
