Plyometrics can get a bad rep in rehab and pain.
But when they’re scaled properly, they’re one of the most useful tools you can use.
They help your tissues handle force.
Tendons, muscles, and bone all adapt to impact.
That matters for running, sport, and normal life like stairs, hopping, or quick changes of direction.
They improve performance fast.
Short ground contact times.
Better power output.
More efficient movement with less effort at the same pace.
They also build confidence.
Many people avoid impact because of pain or fear.
Gradual jumping shows your body it can cope.
Pain often settles as trust improves.
Start small.
Low jumps.
Low volume.
Clear progressions.
Rehab is not about avoiding load forever.
It’s about preparing you for it.
