About Me

Sigfús Víkþörðson

I currently have two blogs, one devoted to "eccentric exercise" to treat chronic patellar tendinitis http://eccentric-exercises.blogspot.com ; the other highlights my Iceland photos, http://iceland-photos.blogspot.com ....

I created the "eccentric exercise" blog after I developed tendinitis in mid-2004. The tendinitis resulted from doing a lot of bicycling over a period of two weeks. The inflammation went away after some time, but I continued to have pain that lasted for several years. After trying everything from acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractors, pain drugs, lidoderm patches, ointments, etc... the only thing that significantly reduced my pain was "eccentric exercise." I learned about such exercise through reading medical journal articles. However, I had to develop a protocol that worked for me through trial-and-error.
