Condition
Tendonitis
Most 'tendonitis' is actually tendinopathy — and it doesn't just need rest. It needs the right kind of progressive load.
Understanding Tendonitis
Chronic tendon pain is a tissue quality problem. We combine soft tissue work to address scar tissue with progressive loading to rebuild healthy tendon.
Common causes
Repetitive load
Same motion, same tissue, over and over.
Sudden overload
Doing too much too soon.
Poor mechanics
Adjacent joints not doing their share.
Deconditioned tissue
Tendons that haven't been loaded enough to be strong.
Symptoms
Aching pain with use
Worse during or after activity.
Morning stiffness
Tendons feel 'cold' until warmed up.
Localized tenderness
Right over the tendon.
Reduced strength
Pain inhibits force production.
How we help
IASTM
One of the most effective tools for tendon issues.
Therapeutic ultrasound
Calm acute flares.
Joint adjustments
Address mechanics above and below the tendon.
Eccentric loading rehab
Evidence-based way to remodel tendon tissue.
Tendon problems don't resolve with rest alone. We give your tendons what they actually need.
