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 theyโre underloaded for too long, they lose stiffness, strength, and resilience โ which can make them more vulnerable.
This doesnโt always mean explosive jumps or absolute max effort. It means structured, progressive loading thatโs 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. ๐ช๐ฆต
