A tool for manipulating and mobilizing the patella and patellar tendon following injury to the knee or surgery thereon to reduce pain, reduce the formation of scar tissue about the patella and eliminate stiffness and loss of range of motion of the knee, is formed by a rigid member having a first end, a second end and an elongated portion extending between the ends. The elongated portion has a central section intermediate the ends defining a V-shaped notch, including a convex portion extending outward from said central section on at least one side of said elongated portion between said ends. A first end defines a generally triangular flattened blade having a lateral arcuate edge of a first profile. A second end defines a generally triangular flattened blade having a lateral arcuate edge of a second profile different from said first profile. A method for using the tool is also described.
