Tendinitis / Tendinopathy

Are you suffering with a Stiff, Swollen or Painful Tendon?
Let us help get it sorted here at The Physio & Sports Injury Clinic without the need for any medications, injections or surgery.

Tendinitis (or Tendinopathy as its correctly called) is the swelling &/or break-down of the elasticated structures which hold a muscle down onto a bone. Tendons don’t have a great blood supply, therefore when they get injured they can be slow to heal! The 3 most commonly injured tendons are: Achilles tendon (back of heel), Patella tendon (below kneecap) and Rotator cuff (outer shoulder).

Tendon injuries often occur for 2 main reasons: traumatically from a sudden movement or fall (where you may feel a tear), otherwise they can come on gradually over a period of weeks/months and you just wake up with it (e.g. Repetitive strain/RSI).

Does This Sound Like You?

• You’ve hurt yourself, but are trying to plough on hoping it will just settle naturally?

• The tendon area has swelled up a lot and is not calming down.

• Moving the injured area first thing in the morning is the worst for it.

• You’ve tried rest, but as soon as you go back to activity, the pain comes back on immediately.

• You’ve tried self-diagnosing the problem on Google, which just worries you more.
