What is Tendinopathy?
Tendinopathy is a condition where a tendon (how a muscle attaches to bone) becomes painful and doesn’t heal properly. Instead of repairing itself in an organised way, the tendon structure becomes disorganised, leading to ongoing pain, stiffness, and weakness. It is usually caused by overuse or repetitive movements, however being underactive can also cause the tendon to become symptomatic. It can become extremely painful making everyday activities or exercise more difficult.Â
People with tendinopathy often experience pain, reduced function, and difficulty with physical activity. With the right treatment—such as targeted exercise, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes—symptoms can improve, allowing you to regain strength and movement.
Â
How Does Tendinopathy Feel?
Tendinopathy usually starts with gradually increasing pain in the affected tendon, often after an increase in activity. The pain is typically triggered by movement or loading the tendon.Â
In the early stages, pain might appear at the start of an activity, fade during movement, and then return afterwards, especially during rest or cooling down. If the activity continues over time, the pain may become more persistent and intense.Â
People with tendinopathy can usually pinpoint the exact location of their pain, describing it as sharp or severe in the beginning. As the condition progresses, the pain may turn into a dull ache that lingers for weeks. months or in some cases years.
