The entire muscletendon unit matters when treating Jumper’s Knee, but the Rectus Femoris could also be contributing to Patellar Tendon pain. If it’s “locked up” because the Pelvis is in anterior tilt, this could be a reason why your knee still hurts. If you do things like: split squats, posterior pelvic tilt exercises, sissy squats, reverse nordics, or couch stretches, these can alleviate the “tightness” of the Rectus Femoris and benefit Patellar Tendon pain in the longterm.
