Why Rest Isn’t Helping Your Tendon Pain

If you’ve been resting your tendon and waiting for it to “heal,” you’re not alone — but rest alone often isn’t the answer.

Tendons are designed to handle load. When they’re not challenged, they actually become weaker and less tolerant to stress. That’s why prolonged rest can make tendon pain linger or return as soon as you become active again.

✔️ Short-term unloading can calm pain
✔️ Long-term healing requires progressive loading
✔️ Strength-based rehab helps tendons rebuild and tolerate activity

The key is finding the right amount of load at the right time — not pushing through pain, but not avoiding movement either.

If you’re dealing with persistent tendon pain (hamstring, Achilles, patellar, or otherwise), our latest blog breaks down how to recover the right way.

👉 Read the full post at the link below to learn how to start healing—not just resting.

A new year is the perfect time to take control of your long-term health.

For a limited time, we’re offering our Longevity Assessment for $115 (regularly $140) to help you start the year in a strong, informed place.

This comprehensive assessment looks at how your body moves, where you may be at risk for injury, and what you can do now to stay active, pain-free, and performing well for years to come.

If your goal this year is to move better, feel stronger, and protect your future health, this is a great first step.

👉 Schedule your Longevity Assessment today — limited-time New Year offer.

🤓 Mythbuster Monday: You shouldn’t work out if you’re sore

Truth: The condition of being “sore” is called DOMS: delayed onset muscle soreness.
➡️ This soreness is due to microscopic tears in the muscle tissue as a result of new or intense exercise.
➡️ Your body repairs the microtears, resulting in increased strength and muscle fiber adaptation to the stimulating exercise.
➡️ Blood flow promotes healing by improving oxygen and nutrient exchange and waste transport.

How do you get more blood flow to a muscle? 🤔

Use it! So when you’re sore, you will actually recover more quickly if you lightly use those muscles again. 👍

Happy New Year! Any resolutions for the new year? 🥳

😄 We have some here at Peak Endurance!

Just over here trying to walk the walk and do some rehab at 5a.m.

Anyone else get family “support” doing home PT assignments? (Sound on) 🔊

Apparently working on single leg plyometric loading MUST be done to Irish jig music. Every. Single. Time. 🙄🤣

Take time to breathe! 🌬

🙂‍↕️ Your nervous system controls muscle tension. When overwhelmed, stop and take five slow, deep breaths.

This is a powerful, instant body reset that helps you relax and reduces muscle tightness 🧘‍♀️

🍑 Pain in the a$$ (literally)?

😩 If you have pain at the very top of your hamstrings/bottom of your glute, you may have a proximal hamstring tendon strain. This injury occurs at the tendinous attachment of the hamstring muscle to the pelvis.

It may feel tight, like you want to stretch it, but tugging at that attachment can aggravate the injury. 😖

💁‍♀️ Load it instead.

Try single leg bridge holds, 5x45 seconds, to promote healing of the tendon. (And come in for an evaluation because this can be a slow, tricky injury to fully resolve.)

Don't let a packed holiday schedule stop your routine! 😢

Physical therapists agree: 10 minutes of brisk walking or simple bodyweight exercise is a powerful, stress-busting break. Don't forget to get your "micro-bursts" of activity in! 🏃

1️⃣ First step - determine if you have weak or tight muscles.

If you have pelvic floor tension - we want to address this FIRST. Adding in a bunch of strengthening exercises will likely make your symptoms worse. 😖

🤔 How to determine if you have pelvic floor tension:

☑️ Tailbone pain?
☑️ Pelvic pain?
☑️ Painful in*******se?
☑️ Hard time starting your urinary flow?

If you answered yes to any of these questions - you likely have pelvic floor tension. Start with some relaxation first, before you jump into strength!

💪 When building back some bicep tendon strength and capacity, we should NOT stop at bicep curls.

We need MORE load, MORE range of motion, MORE function! 🔥

👍 Here are just a few ideas of progressions to keep moving forward.

😳 Deadlifts can be a scary movement for those with a history of low back pain, but, done well, they are a powerhouse movement to build resilience in the low back.

The key to a good deadlift lies in the setup. 🔑

🙅‍♀️ Hips too high (level with shoulders) tends to load the low back more than desired.
🙅‍♀️ Hips too low is really just a squat and misses out on the back-strengthening benefits of hinging.
👍 Aim for hips to sit below the shoulders and above the knees at setup. This strikes a balance among posterior chain muscles to maximize efficiency and benefits of the lift.
