Tendon-Related Injuries

Overview

Tendon-related pain can develop when a tendon becomes irritated or overloaded, often from repetitive activity, changes in training, or increased physical demands.

Common Reasons

• Pain during or after activity
• Localized tenderness or stiffness
• Reduced strength or function
• Pain that increases with repetitive loading

Common Conditions

• Achilles tendinopathy
• Patellar tendinopathy
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy
• Tennis & golfer’s elbow
• Gluteal tendinopathy

Approach

Treatment focuses on progressive strengthening and loading, with mobility work and hands-on care as needed, to reduce symptoms, restore function, and build the tendon’s capacity for activity and sport.
