🚨 The biggest tendon myth I hear in clinic…“Tendons just need time and rest.”
Here’s the truth 👇
Tendons do NOT heal with time and rest.
In fact, the longer you wait, the longer tendinopathy tends to hang around.
Tendons need the right stimulus to heal.That means progressive loading, targeted strength work, and addressing the mechanics that caused the issue in the first place.
Rest alone might settle symptoms short term, but it doesn’t rebuild tendon capacity. And that’s why pain keeps coming back when you return to activity.
If you’re dealing with a stubborn tendon that just won’t settle… it’s time to take action, not wait it out.
