\n\t\treiki.\n\t<\/h1>\n\tTendon injuries are one of most common injuries we see at NK Active. They are commonly called tendinitis and come about from a change in activity or load; \u00a0this could be in the short term like walking 10k a week to 40k a week, it could be cumulative loading over time or underloading (returning to actibity at the same level after a period of time off).<\/strong>

Typically tendon injuries will present with stiffness in the morning, particularly the morning after some exercise; \u00a0pain may reduce during exercise and the effected tendon may hurt to palpate. You may notice some thickening of the tendon if it has been going on a while.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBook an Appointment\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\tHow we treat in clinic\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

First we understand why the tendon got injured in the first place, then we can educate you on why it happened. Education is important, because the majority of tendon injuries are related to a “training error”.<\/p>\n

Mostly, a tendon loading and rehabilitation programme is the starting point to help build up strength; as this helps the tendon and muscle get ready for the jobs it is needed to do.<\/p>\n
