🦵 NEW RESEARCH: What Really Drives Tendinopathy?

A new review in Advanced Science breaks down how tendon pain isn’t caused by just “overuse”, but by a loop of three interacting factors:

🔁 The Tendinopathy Loop

1️⃣ Mechanical Stress – too much, too soon… or even too little.
2️⃣ Inflammation – triggered by stress, and can keep the tendon irritated.
3️⃣ Vascular Changes – abnormal blood-vessel growth inside the tendon that isn’t seen in healthy tissue.

These three feed into each other, creating a cycle that keeps tendon pain going unless the loop is interrupted.

📌 Key take-aways

Tendon issues are multifactorial – not a single pathway or single cause.

Both overload and under-load can contribute.

Metabolism, tissue pressure, and systemic health may influence tendon healing.

Effective rehab needs to break the loop, not just treat symptoms.

🧠 Why this matters for you

At Injury Mechanics, we don’t just treat the painful area.
We look at your:
• loading patterns
• movement strategy
• training structure
• systemic health factors
• recovery behaviours

Your plan targets the exact parts of the loop that are active in your case.

🎯 Bottom Line

Tendinopathy isn’t just a tendon problem — it’s a system problem.
The right combination of load management, targeted strengthening, education and (when needed) adjunct therapies can break the cycle and get you moving again.

If you’re dealing with persistent tendon pain — Achilles, patellar, gluteal, elbow — we can help.

📉 BOOM & BUST CYCLE IN REHAB AND TRAINING

👀 It’s something we see all the time — periods of going all in, followed by a crash or flare-up.

The real key?
✅ Doing the simple things well and staying consistent.

Just like training, rehab needs steady, progressive work over time to build strong tissues, resilient energy systems, and confident movement.

Here’s how we make that happen 👇
⏩ Clear goal setting
⏩ Education you can understand
⏩ Planned and monitored sessions
⏩ Fixing issues before they grow
⏩ Setting realistic timeframes (this is crucial!)

Whether your goal is recovering from injury, training smarter, or improving performance — we can guide you through it.

🌍 Community — Near and Far 🤝

At Injury Mechanics, we’re passionate about giving back — both locally and globally. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more about the community and charity projects we’re involved in 👀

For now, here are a couple we’re proud of:

🚻 Toilet Twinning – helping provide access to safe sanitation in areas where 1 in 5 people don’t have it. It’s something we often take for granted, but it’s life-changing for health and hygiene worldwide.

⚽ Lostock Hall Juniors Sponsorship – we’re proud to support this fantastic local girls’ football team! A few of the players dropped by recently, and it was great to see our logo proudly displayed on their kit.

We love to see people — especially teenage girls — staying active, confident, and healthy. Whether it’s improving global hygiene or supporting local sport, we’re proud to play our part.
