Tendons need to be loaded to heal, but it’s important to get the balance right ⚖️
One simple way to check if you’re loading a tendon correctly during rehab is to track your tendon’s 24 hour pattern
A bit of discomfort during or straight after loading is normal and is not necessarily a bad thing
What’s more important is how it responds after this, particularly the next morning
If it is more stiff or painful, then it usually means you did a bit too much
If it settles back to normal after loading, then you’re likely in the right zone and you may be able to increase your loading next time
This is a simple way to self monitor if you are rehabbing a tendinopathy 🙌🏻
