Stop treating every painful tendon like it's begging for more friction.
When tissue is already irritated, aggressively attacking the painful spot isn't always the answer.
Think about the bigger picture.
Overuse injuries can involve:
Inflammation.
Localized swelling.
Protective muscle tension.
Restricted movement.
Changes in the surrounding tissue environment.
So rather than focusing exclusively on the tendon, what happens when we address the fluid AND fascia surrounding the problem?
That's one of the reasons I love Myofascial Lymphatic Drainage for clients dealing with overuse and repetitive-stress complaints.
We can support fluid movement, work with surrounding fascial restrictions and decrease the amount of force we're putting into an already sensitive area.
Pain doesn't automatically mean "go deeper."
Sometimes it means we need to work smarter.
Want more tools for pain, swelling, inflammation and fascial restriction? MFLD was built for exactly that.
