Have you been suffering from a longstanding tendon injury that is just not getting better?
Tendon injuries are often much harder to treat than many other musculoskeletal injuries and its important that you are receiving the advice of an experienced Physiotherapist to ensure you have the best chance of recovery! Our team of Physios are highly experienced in Tendinopathy treatment and rehabilitation and use the most recent evidence based treatment to ensure you are receiving the best outcomes and getting back to living your life!
Why do tendon injuries occur?
Our tendons are designed to absorb the heavy load that is taken through our bones and muscles, they provide us with that high intensity energy we need for things like running and jumping! However, sometimes things can go wrong and the tendon has either experienced too much or not enough load, which can lead to problems resulting in injury.
Depending on your lifestyle and circumstances, your tendon injury may have been brought on by a number of things, from ill fitting footwear and poor exercise technique to things like your gender and hormones! Come and see one of our Physios today to understand why your Tendinopathy may have happened and what you can do to start your recovery!
