Most tendon injury guidelines focus on rest and ice, but low-load isometric exercises actually drive better repair and prevent scarring.
Dr. Keith Baar’s lab at UC Davis shows that 30-second isometric holds redistribute load to injured fibers and realign collagen.
Tailored protocols for tennis elbow, Achilles issues, and patellar pain ensure optimal joint angles and resistance for each condition.
Combining pre-training collagen and vitamin C boosts tendon synthesis, doubling repair markers in as little as ten minutes.
Discover detailed exercise routines, nutrition timing, and how ditching RICE can lead to a stronger, pain-free tendon in the full article.
