General consideration II
- Symptom
- This problem is called "inflammation of patellar ligament". There is an inflammation in the patellar ligament that connects the patella (knee cap) and the shinbone. This problem is often experienced by volleyball players. This problem happens due to the reduced capability of the quadriceps muscle to absorb the impact from the floor received when landing from a jump. The impact of a jump landing received from the floor is not problematic when the landed with both feet, but it involves a great force on the patellar ligament in the case of one-foot landing. Therefore, majority of the players having this problem are those habitually landing with one foot.
- Tamatare Remedy
- Since the quadriceps muscle is an extensor muscle, and its exercise capacity is determined by the thigh flexor muscle group, Tamatare Remedy first recovers the metabolism efficiency of the thigh flexor muscle group. Then Tamatare Remedy uses the joint alignment technique to align the axes of the knee joint surface, the foot joint surface, and the hip joint surface. These treatments recover the extension capability of the quadriceps muscle curing the problem.
