I received a question about what to do for treatment of “Pre-Patellar Bursitis.”

This can be painful when kneeling and sometimes when squatting.

In this video I provide so very basic ideas on how to promote the healing process.

In this clip, I provide some tips on rehab ideas for an injured MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) as well as how to train safely if you have sustained a similar injury.

In this video, I demonstrate using the SAGA BFR Cuffs with minimal equipment…in this case just one resistance band. The BFR cuffs fatigue the muscles at a much faster rate and have been shown help increase muscle size and strength.

The reps and sets for each exercise are as follows:

Set 1: 30 reps, Sets 2-4: 15 reps each, 30 second to 1 minute break between sets.

So there is a common misconception that I hear and its that when an injured area is no longer painful, then you are fully healed and can get back to full training…well this is not always true…let me explain.

Different types of tissue such as muscle, tendon, bones, etc can take a variety of times to heal as it is dependent on the type and severity of injury.

An important idea is to take pain levels into account, however, don’t let pain be the determining factor in your recovery.

You have to also look at other factors in your recovery such as range of motion of the area, strength of the surrounding muscles, and if you are able to perform the movements necessary for your sport (BJJ or other sports).

When you are returning to training after an injury, it’s important to…pick your training partners wisely.

Try to select a training partner you trust, of similar weight, and that has good control with their movement.

Also let your training partner know that you’re just getting back from injury and you want to move slower or if there are any positions you want to avoid.

This will help you safely transition back to normal training with more confidence and less risk or re-injury.
