Frequently Asked Tendon Injury Questions
Helpful answers about tendon pain, loading, and recovery.
What causes tendon injuries?
Tendon injuries often result from overload, repetitive strain, or insufficient recovery.
Should I rest a painful tendon completely?
Complete rest is rarely helpful. Controlled loading is usually recommended.
Why does tendon pain fluctuate?
Tendons respond slowly to load and can be sensitive to sudden changes.
Can tendon injuries become chronic?
Yes, without appropriate load management and rehabilitation.
How is tendon rehabilitation structured?
It focuses on progressive, well-planned loading over time.
Why do tendons take longer to heal?
Tendons adapt slowly and require progressive loading over time.
Is pain during exercise always harmful?
Mild, controlled discomfort may be acceptable during rehabilitation.
Can tendons become stronger after injury?
Yes. Appropriate loading improves tendon capacity.
Are injections always necessary?
No. Many tendon conditions improve with physiotherapy alone.
How do I avoid future tendon problems?
Gradual load progression and strength maintenance are essential.
