STRONGER TENDONS 💪 | Swipe for 8 Isometric Exercises to Try

Your tendons help transfer force from your muscles to your bones, allowing you to run, jump, lift and move.

Building your capacity to tolerate load can help support performance, resilience and recovery from many tendon-related problems.

Isometric exercises involve producing muscular tension while holding a position relatively still. They can be a useful way to introduce or maintain loading as part of a wider strength and rehabilitation programme.

Here are 8 exercises to add to your toolbox 👉

HOW TO USE THEM
✔️ Aim for 30–45-second holds where appropriate.
✔️ Complete 2–3 sets per side, where applicable.
✔️ Start with 2–3 sessions per week as a general guide.
✔️ Cherry-pick 2–4 exercises that suit your goals.

Choose a resistance you can control with good technique, and adjust the duration and load to suit your ability and symptoms.

A little reminder: Isometrics are one tool, not a magic fix. Tendon rehabilitation often involves gradually progressing to heavier resistance and more dynamic movements. The right approach depends on the individual and the tissue being treated.

Split-stance calf raise hold — Calf muscles and Achilles tendon
Loads the calf–Achilles complex, which plays a major role in walking, running, jumping and pushing off the ground.

Resisted hip flexion + ankle dorsiflexion — Hip flexors and tibialis anterior
With your hip held around 90° and resistance around your foot, this exercise challenges the hip flexors and the muscles that lift your foot towards your shin. The emphasis depends on which movement you’re performing.

Weighted wall sit — Quadriceps and patellar tendon

Holding a wall sit with a kettlebell in each hand challenges the quadriceps and loads the patellar tendon. This is a simple way to build lower-limb strength and loading tolerance, which can be useful as part of a progressive programme for patellar tendinopathy.

Hamstring bridge hold — Hamstrings
Loads the hamstrings at the back of your

When dentistry or trauma affects your HEAD AND NECK!! 🦷🧠

Dental treatment, braces, whiplash, falls and head injuries can all place extra strain on the muscles, joints and surrounding tissues of the jaw, face and neck.

Sometimes the effects are obvious straight away. Other times, symptoms such as jaw tension, headaches, neck discomfort or dizziness may show up later.

Osteopathic care may be used alongside appropriate dental, orthodontic and medical care to help manage associated musculoskeletal tension, stiffness and discomfort — with treatment tailored to you and your presentation.

👉 Swipe through to learn more about how dentistry and different types of trauma can affect the head, jaw and neck, and where osteopathy may fit into your recovery.

⚠️ After a head injury, new, severe or worsening symptoms — particularly neurological symptoms — require appropriate medical assessment.

**NEW AT PEAK FITNESS & HEALTH 🌿**

The mark of a great PT isn’t just what they already know — it’s their willingness to keep growing, learning, upskilling and sharing that knowledge with the people they coach.

And that’s exactly what Andy Curran has been doing.

Alongside her work as a Personal Trainer, Andy is currently completing her Diploma in Kinesiology, adding another layer to her already extensive background in movement, health and wellbeing.

Kinesiology takes a whole-body approach, using muscle testing and gentle techniques to explore where the body may be holding stress — whether physical, nutritional or emotional.

For Andy, it’s a natural extension of the work she already does: looking beyond simply *how* someone moves and exploring some of the other factors that may be influencing how they feel, function and perform.

As part of her training, Andy is now offering low-cost student practitioner sessions here at Peak Fitness, giving our members the opportunity to experience kinesiology while helping Andy build her practical experience.

Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, lift your energy levels, improve movement or simply support your overall health and wellbeing, it could be something worth exploring.

We love seeing our team continue to learn and evolve — and even more so when they bring that knowledge back to our Peak community. 💚

Interested?

Have you had the flu or a nasty cold recently? 🤧

We’ve certainly noticed how much illness has been doing the rounds here in Hawke’s Bay!

After days of coughing, sore throats and feeling generally unwell, it’s not unusual to feel like your body hasn’t quite returned to normal — perhaps your chest feels tight, your breathing feels different, your neck and shoulders are tense, or you’re simply not feeling quite yourself.

That got us thinking about the thorax — the ribs, lungs, pleura, diaphragm, throat, neck and all the surrounding tissues that work together.

So, we headed to Christchurch to continue our learning with the Barral Institute, completing VM4 – Visceral Manipulation of the Thorax: “Container & Contents”.

🫁 We’ve been learning more about the relationships between the structures within the thorax and how they move together.

🌿 We’ve explored ways of assessing and working with the tissues around the rib cage, diaphragm, lungs and pleura.

🌿 We’ve also developed our understanding of the throat and neck, including the tissues surrounding the trachea and oesophagus.

🌿 And importantly, how the thorax connects with the neck, shoulders, arms and head — because sometimes the area that needs attention isn’t necessarily where you’re feeling the problem.

After a respiratory illness, osteopathic treatment may be useful if you’re left with chest or rib tension, restricted movement, neck or shoulder discomfort, or difficulty taking a comfortable deep breath.

Swipe through to see a little more about what we’ve been learning 👆

We’re really excited to bring these new skills and perspectives back into our practice at Tūī Osteopathy in Hastings. 🤍

Osteopathic treatment is individualised and is not a substitute for medical care. If you have significant difficulty breathing, chest pain, worsening symptoms or concerns about your recovery, please seek medical assessment.

🤰Did you know we see pregnant women and support postnatal care at Tūī Osteopathy??

Pregnancy and birth bring some pretty big changes — to your posture, balance, ribs, abdomen, pelvis and the way your whole body moves.

Then comes feeding, carrying, rocking, lifting and sleepless nights. 😅

At Tūī Osteopathy, we look at the bigger picture. We consider your pregnancy and birth experience, how your body is moving now and what you’d like to get back to.

Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth, C-section, epidural or spinal anaesthetic, your recovery is individual to you.

Osteopathy can be one part of your wider postnatal support, working alongside your midwife, GP, pelvic health physio, lactation consultant and other healthcare professionals when needed.

Because while you’re busy caring for your little one, your body deserves some care too. 🤍

Want to know whether osteopathy could fit into your postnatal recovery? Send us a message or get in touch with the clinic. 🌿

👼🏻Did you know we see babies at Tūī Osteopathy?

The first 18 months are an incredible time of growth and development, and sometimes parents notice little things that make them wonder whether their baby is comfortable and moving well.

Maybe your baby always looks to one side.
Maybe feeding feels difficult.
Maybe they dislike being in their car seat.
Maybe you’re noticing a preference during movement.
Or perhaps you simply feel that something isn’t quite right.

These are all reasonable things to ask about.

At Tūī Osteopathy, we take a gentle, individualised approach to assessing your baby’s movement and musculoskeletal function.

We also believe in working alongside your baby’s wider healthcare team. Osteopathy isn’t a replacement for medical assessment, particularly when your baby is unwell or experiencing concerning symptoms.

If you’re wondering whether osteopathic assessment could be appropriate for your little one, send us a message or get in touch with the clinic. 🤍
