Hi Doctor,
I’m a 22 yo female soccer player, I had ACLR 1 year ago. I did a lot of strength training since then and gained back my strength in the main lifts and way beyond. I’m also back to playing soccer almost normally. However, during the rehabilitation I developed tendonitis in my quadriceps tendon. I can’t train as many days as I want to or play for a whole soccer game without feeling pain the next day, and being unable to go down the stairs. It’s an obstacle to my training sessions. I used to train everyday, now I train once a week. If I do more, I’m forced to rest for another week or two.
I thought that tracking my training time and increasing it gradually over time would help this issue, that my tendon will adapt to the stress. Is this a good point to start from?
Thank you so much for your time.
