With a focus on natural solutions, <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\">you can soothe the pain by applying cold to the affected area<\/mark><\/strong>in <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\">making a clay poultice<\/mark><\/strong>wearing an orthosis\/knee brace or<mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\"> <strong>or simply by applying a STIMCARE patch<\/strong><\/mark>. Of course, these treatments can and should ideally be combined with <mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\"><strong>physiotherapist-led rehabilitation exercises<\/strong> <\/mark>to speed up remission in cases of severe tendonitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u25cf Application of cold or ice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, you should limit the activity that has led to patellar tendon inflammation, and rest your knee. You can then use cold therapy, <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\">apply ice packs<\/mark> <\/strong>to relieve the pain you feel when it's too strong. The ideal solution is to use cold and heat at the same time: ice on the patellar tendon and a hot water bottle on the quadriceps muscle. The heat will relax the muscle, which will stop pulling on the tendon, and the cold will soothe it. Minimum exposure time: 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u25cf Making a clay poultice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\">Green clay<\/mark><\/strong> is a natural product renowned for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and remineralizing properties on joints in particular. Use it to soothe pain and inflammation in your knee. With <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\">green clay powder <\/mark><\/strong>(stored in a glass container), you'll prepare a poultice using a wooden spoon (not metal) and apply it directly to your sore knee, about 5mm thick. Then cover it with \"celofrais\" paper to enclose the poultice for the night. This avoids getting clay in the sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u25cf Application of Stimcare patches<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can finally count on <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-sport-color\">STIMCARE patches<\/mark><\/strong> to effectively relieve discomfort in your patellar tendon. Easy to use, you can apply your patch locally to the knee to be treated. The increased microcirculation under the patch will drain toxins and bring more oxygen and nutrients to the tendon. This will reduce inflammation and relieve the area.
