Abstract in brief
The case study describes the rehabilitation of a professional basketball player with patellar tendinopathy, utilizing a combination of targeted nutrition (gelatin ingestion) and specific strength training (heavy isometric exercises) to promote stress relaxation of the tendon.
The program resulted in significant improvements, with MRI scans showing the tendon returning to normal, along with reduced pain and better athletic performance after one and a half years.
The findings suggest that combining nutritional strategies with tailored rehabilitation involving stress relaxation techniques can effectively treat tendinopathy in elite athletes.]

@sweatscience Found some limited clinical researched that recommended 20g collagen with vitamin C (I used one lime) 1 hour prior to 6-8 minutes of calf rises. This worked well for me and made significant rehab after only a week of doing it daily.
