You want to simple, easy-to-follow program that guides you every step of the way
You want to learn about your tendon and minimize the risk of re-injury
Details about the program
The program will start with a comprehensive examination of your knee to identify your symptoms, and maybe find some of the reasons for your pain. Inside the program our rehab coach Henrik Yttervik will be able to assist you if you have any questions.
The program is divided into 3 different phases and in each phase 3 different blocks
#1
MOBILIZATION
You will spend around 5-20 min to mobilize the tight muscles around your hip and knee. We don't want to stretch the tendon, but release tension in the muscles that affect the tendon.
#2
ACTIVATION
The goal is to give the tendon some attention and pain free load.. Here we will spend some time in the beginning to find the right setup.
#3
LOADING
In this phase we will challenge you to use your new positions with more weight and get you back to those positions that have been irritating.
Choose a program validated by elite athletes at the highest levels of competition.
Henrik Yttervik, Dr. of Manual Medicine, Personal Trainer, and CrossFit Games athlete, has created this program with the latest science-based exercises and self-treatments specific for Crossfiters.
About the diagnosis
We used to think that the tendon becomes painful because of inflammation in the area. Now we know that it’s not an inflammation of the tendon, but a degeneration of the tendon.
That’s why it’s referred to as the “DONUT”. With a whole in the tendon. We can’t treat the whole, but we want to strengthen the area around it..
This is why rest wont help and we’re able to start the rehab right away.
In my lecture (video under) you can learn more about the different risk factors for this injury and how you can follow the program individually with my guidelines.
The goal of this program is to see if there are other reasons than “Too much, too soon” for your tendon. Which will not only relieve the pain of your tendon, but also learn your body to move more efficiently and in a more optimal manner.
If you’ve endured a traumatic injury, it’s advisable to speak with your healthcare provider before embarking on this program.
