You’re trying to get rid of patellar tendonitis, but because some pain is always there, you’re not sure how hard to push yourself during your workouts. You don’t want to cause a setback.

I had this problem back when I had patellar tendonitis and many people in my courses actually share similar stories. If this applies to you, you’re definitely not alone.

In a perfect world, we’d never train through pain, but let’s be honest here, with jumper's knee, that’s just not possible and even academic research found that pain during patellar tendonitis rehab is common.

Sometimes you can’t avoid pain, but to protect your knees, you need to know when it’s safe to train through it and when not. I came up with this 3-point checklist to help you decide.
