What Is Jumper’s Knee?
Jumper’s knee refers to irritation or degeneration of the patellar tendon. It often develops gradually from repetitive stress during jumping, sprinting, or high-impact sports.
How Patellar Straps Work
Patellar straps apply focused pressure just below the kneecap, which may help reduce strain on the tendon and improve comfort during activity.
Managing Tendon Load
Activity modification, gradual strengthening, and proper warm-up are important in tendon recovery. Supportive bracing may help during higher-demand activities while symptoms improve.
Prescription & Tax Exemption (When Applicable)
Some medical knee braces and supports may qualify as tax-exempt with a valid prescription in Canada. If you have a prescription, you can submit it for review and tax-exempt processing where eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee)?
Patellar tendonitis is irritation or degeneration of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, often caused by repetitive jumping or high-impact activity.
Does a patellar strap help jumper’s knee?
A patellar strap may help reduce strain on the tendon by applying targeted pressure just below the kneecap.
Can I keep playing sports with patellar tendonitis?
Activity may need to be modified depending on pain level. Supportive bracing can improve comfort, but tendon load should be managed carefully.
What’s the difference between tendonitis and tendinosis?
Tendonitis refers to inflammation, while tendinosis involves longer-term tendon degeneration. Both can cause similar symptoms.
Where should a patellar strap sit?
It should sit just below the kneecap, over the patellar tendon—not directly on the kneecap itself.
Can strengthening help patellar tendon pain?
Yes. Gradual strengthening and load management are key components of tendon recovery.
Should the strap be tight?
It should feel snug and supportive without causing numbness, tingling, or circulation issues.
How long does jumper’s knee take to heal?
Recovery time varies depending on severity and activity modification. Chronic cases may take longer to settle.
Is jumper’s knee common in youth athletes?
Yes, it is common in sports involving jumping such as basketball and volleyball.
Are patellar tendon straps tax-exempt in Canada with a prescription?
Some medical knee braces and supports may qualify for tax-exempt processing when supported by a valid prescription, depending on eligibility criteria.
