The Nature of Tendinopathy
Tendinopathy refers to a range of tendon injuries characterized by pain, swelling, and impaired function. It often results from repetitive stress or improper loading of the tendon, which can lead to chronic pain if not addressed appropriately. Understanding the biological and mechanical properties of tendons is essential for effective treatment.
Differentiating Upper and Lower Body Tendinopathies
Treating tendinopathies requires a tailored approach, as the underlying causes and functional implications differ between the upper and lower body. Physical Therapists must be equipped with knowledge about specific tendons and their roles in various movements to provide targeted interventions.
Loading Strategies for Optimal Recovery
A common pitfall in treating tendinopathies is improper loading. Many patients experience worsening symptoms when the load is not applied correctly. Physical therapists need to understand how to manipulate loading parameters, incorporating gradual progression to promote healing and prevent exacerbation of pain.
Practical Techniques and Exercises
A significant aspect of effective treatment lies in the application of evidence-based techniques and exercises. Physical therapy skills must include not only assessment but also the implementation of rehabilitation protocols that are adaptable to each patient’s unique needs.
