Below is MY rehab regimen, I am not saying this is how you should recover from your patellar tendinitis as everyone recovers at different speeds. I was always listening to my body, tracking how I felt, and making the next day's workout dependent on that.

My Rehab Regimen:

Day 1-10: Stopped all weightlifting, soccer, and running activities, rested as much as possible, iced 3-5x a day for 20 minutes. My goal was to rest until
Day 11-18: Introduced static stretching and light bodyweight exercises as long as it didn't hurt my knee and make it worse the next day. If knee felt better than the day before, I progressively made each workout harder than the previous by adding more sets, reps, or time.
Day 19-28: Started to introduce biking to the workout regimen. Progressively making each biking session harder than the previous if knee allowed so. Continued to stretch and preform bodyweight workouts.
Day 29-40: Started to introduce light jogging and running workouts. Stopped biking, but continued to stretch. Again, made each workout harder than the last as long as knee responded well and felt stronger. Started to also add weight to all exercises and progressively added more and more weight with each workout.
Day 41-48: Started to add soccer training sessions to the workout regimen. Continued to stretch, perform exercises with increasingly heavier weights, and continued to make each running workout harder than the last. Made each soccer training session slightly more rigorous than the last.
Day 49+: Started Preseason with Saint Louis FC. Stopped personal soccer training and running sessions, but continued to stretch and perform exercises with added weight.
