Tendinopathy/Tendinitis

I wish that I had a dollar for every “cure” that I had seen for people suffering from tendon injuries.

Treatment of tendon problems can vary from rest to asking people to do more exercise. Treatment decisions and recommendations vary so much between people because there are so many factors in play - such as timing, the circumstances of the initial injury, their immediate and long term goals, biomechanics/footwear, training issues and person specific issues which may include other medical conditions. And the list goes on...

It is for these reasons that it is impossible to prescribe a one size fits all approach to managing tendon issues.

Sometimes tendon problems can take some time to recover, and often people want to know that they’re not risking more damage by doing what they want to do. I find that addressing these issues is also key.
