The Movement Physio & Performance

The Movement Physio & Performance Empowering you to take control of your health. We are The Movement, 3 physiotherapists running a multidisciplinary performance rehab facility in Dundas, ON!

Alongside our extensive clinical practice we have been applying ourselves as educators and connectors in the broader physiotherapy field through the PT Coffeecast. But we want to impact the local community, which led us to our bricks and mortar location. As clinicians, we are very passionate about promoting an active, healthy lifestyle and helping people thrive in the activities that drive them.

Tendon pain may occur in a few of ways
1️⃣ If you exceed the tendons tolerance acutely, in one session (shown in the top graph)
2️⃣ if you exceed the tendons tolerance cumulatively, with inadequate rest between bouts of activity
Efforts you can make to reduce the risk of this occurring include
➡️ Training the tendons with progressive loading
➡️ Avoiding making massive jumps in activity
➡️ A quality training program that builds a base and has built in recovery along the way
➡️ Managing tendon discomfort immediately when it occurs versus persisting through
What tendon pain questions do you have?? 👇

If you keep trying to speed run your way through rehabbing your injury, you’re much more likely to flare it up and things will end up taking longer

Yes, it’s frustrating to go slowly and sometimes be doing things that feel like almost nothing. BUT, brick by brick, this builds you up and it ends up not taking as long as you think

This can be frustrating! Often times when you’re dealing with an issue (eg., back pain), you feel like you have to work at such a low intensity in order to avoid flaring up your symptoms.

You may be strong enough to do more, but the tissues are sensitive and not tolerating the load / demands. For many people this is a big hurdle to getting better and can lead to people ‘yo-yoing’ between feeling good and flaring up.

In these scenarios we find committing to working on the tissue tolerance can seem slow but actually ends up being faster

If you’ve been strengthening your core for months and your pain hasn’t been improving, it may be time to try some different approaches

Often we find, gradual relaxed movement and/or graded exposure to painful movements can also help

Back pain is complex, and there are many things to explore when trying to approach improving it

In some ways this is a good thing! If core strength isn’t helping then there are more options. And if you don’t like core exercises, then what we know is you likely can do other types of exercises to improve your pain over time

It’s great to look up and downstream for possible areas of opportunity. However, if you aren’t managing the loading (volume, intensity) on the problematic area then your first focus should be doing just that.

Further, you can’t go wrong with building more tolerance in that local zone. Once that gets going, then we can start looking up / downstream

It’s about more than getting reducing pain or even getting strong (although we love to do both of these things)

It’s about the relentless pursuit of getting you back to what you love!

It doesn’t matter how old you are and where you’re starting from, if you’re consistent and pushing yourself gradually over time, you can get strong
