Treat Knee Cap Pain (Patellar Mobilization Technique)

Dealing with knee cap pain? Here are some quick techniques to mobilize your patellae and keep your knees healthy.

I got a question from Jackie inside the Precision Movement VIP Lab on Facebook, who said she'd had a fractured patella, and now she wants to make sure it's moving properly.

I wanted to make a video on knee cap pain because it is common as we age. Taking steps to address (or prevent knee pain) now means that you don't develop compensatory mechanisms down the line. Because compensation, if left unchecked, usually means pain and stiffness down the road.

This technique takes three different approaches to rehab the tissue around your kneecap. First, you’ll get your patella moving passively. This also lets you feel for anything abnormal like swelling, stiffness, or scraping.

Next, you’ll work on auto self-myofascial release of your patellar tendon (which inserts into your tibia). Finally, you’ll break up the tissue in your quadriceps tendon, which attaches the top of your kneecap to your quads.

ASMR breaks up any scar tissue or adhesions in the tendon, allowing the fascia to glide smoothly.

If you're in a similar situation, or you just want to prevent knee pain, check out this video because we're gonna go through some quick techniques to help get the patella (kneecap) moving properly through all the ranges of motion.
