The Truth About Your Tendonitis
You've probably been told you have "tendonitis" and that you just need to rest and ice it. But if you're here, it's because that didn't work.
Here's why: "Tendon-itis" implies the problem is just inflammation. For chronic tendon pain, the real problem is Tendinopathy a breakdown and degeneration of the tendon itself due to overuse.
Rest fails because it doesn't strengthen the degenerated tendon. The moment you return to your activity, the weak tendon gets overloaded and the pain comes right back. Our Rehabilitation center is built to fix this.

Advanced Manual Therapy

Graston Technique or Modern Cupping to break down scar tissue and adhesions in the muscle belly.
RAPID Neurofascial Reset to address any related nerve entrapments (common in
tennis elbow).

Progressive Loading (The "Fix")
This is the most important step. To heal, a tendon must be loaded correctly. Your therapist will design a specific eccentric loading program. This builds strength and stimulates the tendon to repair itself. This is the real, evidence-based tendonitis treatment.
