Rest does not fix tendinopathy!
Have you got tendon pain? Whilst rest will likely reduce tendon pain in the short term, it is not the long term solution. You will likely need to modify or reduce your current activity during the initial stages of rehabilitation, but complete rest is generally not advised. So if you have tendon pain, come and see us today for your individualised rehabilitation program so you can get back to pain-free sports and activities!
Exercise is the best treatment for tendon pain!
Have you got tendon pain?? A specific, progressive strength and conditioning program is required to rehabilitate a tendon. By strengthening your tendon, it is then able to better tolerate the requirements of your activities, sports, hobbies and work. So if you have tendon pain, come and see us today for your individualised rehabilitation program so you can get back to pain-free sports and activities!
Modifying load is very important
Have you tried to “run through the pain” and found that your tendon pain just never gets better?! Rehabilitation of a tendinopathy does require a progressive strength and exercise regime, however the key factor is the amount of load/exercise that the tendon requires. This often means you will need to modify the amount of training you’re doing, or even find an alternative exercise. So if you have tendon pain, come in and see us to day so we can show you how to modify your training to get the best results from your tendon rehabilitation program!
Tendon Rehabilitation must be specific
Not everybody’s tendon will respond to the same rehabilitation program and not every tendon in the body is the same when it comes to rehabilitation. It is very important to ensure your rehabilitation program is right for you based on your pain, function and return to sport or work goals. Your physiotherapist will provide you with an individualised program specific to your tendon! So if you have tendon pain, come in and see us today to get started on your rehabilitation program!
Tendinopathy rehabilitation takes time and consistency – there is no quick fix!
Are you getting impatient with your tendon rehabilitation?! Tendon rehabilitation requires a period of strengthening in order to improve the tendon’s capacity – it takes time! Tendinopathy rehabilitation therefore requires patience and consistency with your home exercises. It may be tempting to look for quick fixes, however, treatments such as corticosteroid injections only provide short term pain relief. So if you have tendon pain, come and see us today for your individualised rehabilitation program!
