| Best Knee Supports for Tendonitis 202410 January 2024 Tendonitis, or "jumper's knee" as its colloquially known, is a very common overuse issue that has long plagued athletes and sports players. Movements such as running or jumping place repeated stress on the patella tendon, causing small tears that multiply with continued activity, significantly weakening the knee joint. Giving the knees a break from activity is the best way to treat this condition, but when you feel fit enough to return, a knee support will prevent you from slipping back into debilitation. We asked our manufacturers to recommend their Best Knee Supports for Tendonitis, and listed them in this article to help you return to action safely.
