Tendon healing follows predictable phases, and each phase requires specific types of mechanical loading. During the acute inflammatory phase, we use gentle isometric exercises to reduce pain while maintaining tissue health. As healing progresses, we introduce controlled movement and strengthening.
The tendon requires up to 72 hours to recover from heavy loading, which is why our treatment protocols include carefully planned recovery periods. We monitor your response to each phase, adjusting the load and intensity based on your tissue’s healing capacity.
This isn’t guesswork – it’s evidence-based rehabilitation that respects your body’s natural healing timeline. Athletes particularly benefit from this approach because it maintains conditioning while allowing proper tissue repair, leading to stronger, more resilient shoulders.
