WALKING WITH KNEE TENDONITIS:  DO’S AND DON’TS

WHAT IS KNEE TENDONITIS

Knee tendonitis is tendon inflammation causing pain and swelling. It often results from overuse or poor technique.

TYPES OF KNEE TENDONITIS

Patellar tendonitis affects the kneecap tendon. Quadriceps tendonitis affects the tendon above the kneecap.

BENEFITS OF WALKING

Gentle walking improves blood flow, supports healing, keeps joints flexible, and boosts mood.

WALKING TECHNIQUE

Keep good posture, land on midfoot, avoid long strides, and start slow. Monitor pain levels.

BEST  FOOTWEAR

Choose shoes with arch support, cushioning, and stable heel. Replace every 3 to 6 months.

SURFACES TO WALK ON

Soft surfaces like grass, dirt, and trails reduce knee stress. Avoid concrete, asphalt, and uneven paths.

PREVENT  PAIN

Stretch before walking, use ice or pain relief, strengthen quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves.

KNEE SUPPORTS AND ALTERNATIVES

Use knee braces for support. Low-impact alternatives like swimming, cycling, or elliptical protect your knees.
