✨ TENDINOPATHY: What New Research Tells Us — and Why Early Physio Is Key!✨
Are you dealing with a nagging tendon pain in your shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, or Achilles?
Recent research is clear: the SOONER you address tendinopathy, the BETTER your recovery.
Here’s what the latest studies highlight:
🔍 1. Early treatment leads to faster, better outcomes
Physiotherapy started early can reduce pain, restore function, and prevent the problem from becoming long-term or recurrent.
🏋️ 2. Loading exercises are crucial
Modern research confirms that targeted tendon loading and strengthening exercises are the "gold standard" for treating tendinopathy — far more effective than rest alone.
🚫 3. Ignoring the early signs can make things worse
Waiting too long can allow the tendon to move from a reactive (easier-to-treat) stage into a more stubborn degenerative one.
🤝 4. Education + personalised rehab works best
Successful treatment isn’t just exercises — it’s understanding the condition, managing load, and building a tailored plan with your physiotherapist.
✨ The good news? Tendon pain is highly treatable — especially when addressed early.
