February feature! Tendon pain.

I see a lot of tendon pain.

Tendons need stress to stay healthy and regain strength.

When you apply the right amount of load, they respond by rebuilding, getting stronger, and improving their capacity. When theyโ€™re underloaded for too long, they lose stiffness, strength, and resilience โ€” which can make them more vulnerable.

This doesnโ€™t always mean explosive jumps or absolute max effort. It means structured, progressive loading thatโ€™s intentional and controlled. Well planned movement will give tendons the signal they need to repair and adapt.

Tendon pain is NOT a life sentence! With appropriate loading, patience, and consistency, tendons can restore their capacity, build resilience, and support the activities that keep you strong and independent.

Tendons adapt to demand and respond to challenge and consistency. Don't fear loading - it's how they recover. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฆต

As we age, everything naturally stiffens, tightens and movement patterns seem to shorten without intentional movement and flexibility work. Let's make sure activities of daily living aren't too tough or painful. Even a short time a day can make a difference!

Here's your sign. Movement is medicine. See you on the mat :-)

In many cases chronic pain and symptoms are reinforced by daily habits created in our body's "survival mode". These habits aren't anyone's fault but become part of the cycle that keeps the brain signaling danger.

The solution is not forcing the pain away.

Itโ€™s shifting the habits that shape your nervous system each day.

Start with awareness around one habit.

One shift.

One moment of safety.

Visual drills are so important for chronic pain (and neck pain in particular)๐Ÿ’ฅ

๐Ÿ‘€ The eyes and the neck are interdependent and neurologically linked through multiple systems. I've been studying neurology and how it relates to pain for a while and typically when someone has chronic neck pain I'll run some visual tests and will often see issues with convergence insufficiency (when eyes don't converge equally to see an object) and potentially poor head/neck/eye coordination. Each of these can be addressed through different techniques and exercises which can often turn down the pain dial!
