Treating Tendon Pain!

Have you had or know anyone who has plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or hamstring tendonitis? Anyone who has suffered from these conditions knows how challenging it can be to get lasting relief from the pain. It turns out that these conditions are difficult to manage.

Why are tendon issues so difficult? The main reason is due to misinformation around treating them. For example, rest is not typically helpful nor are soft-tissue modalities (massage, needling, etc..), yet these are the most typically prescribed treatments. In fact, a tendon needs to be loaded properly and can take up to 12-18 weeks to get better. In today’s world of quick fixes and bio hacks, who has that kind of time? 😉

Here is a great infographic with 10 things not to do if you have tendon pain (www.ylmsportscience.com).
