💪 TENDINOPATHY TUESDAY! 💪
Got a niggling that won’t settle down? It may well be tendon issue! Don’t panic… 🤕
Whether you’re a runner, gym-goer, footballer or simply struggling with everyday aches and pains, tendinopathy could be the culprit!
🔍 WHAT IS TENDINOPATHY?
Tendinopathy is a condition where a tendon becomes painful and struggles to tolerate the demands placed on it, often following repetitive loading or a sudden increase in activity.
⚠️ COMMON AREAS AFFECTED:
🦵 Achilles tendon – Pain around the back of your heel.
🏃 Patellar tendon – Pain just below your kneecap.
💪 Tennis elbow – Pain around the outside of your elbow.
🏋️ Rotator cuff – Pain around your shoulder, particularly when lifting.
🙌 CAN SPORTS MASSAGE HELP?
Sports massage may help by:
✅ Reducing surrounding muscle tension
✅ Providing short-term pain relief
✅ Improving comfort and movement
✅ Supporting your recovery alongside appropriate rehabilitation exercises
💡 TOP TIP: Complete rest isn’t always the answer! Tendons generally respond well to progressive, appropriately managed loading. Getting the balance right is key.
