Tendon - Itis vs Opathy

Tendinopathy is the same a what used to be called tendonitis.

Itis = Inflammation

Opathy =Pathology

A loading issue

It was found that inflammation wasn't the problem. But rather a lack of strength to handle the loading demands.

So what to do?

Pain comes when the tendon can't handle the demands placed on it. Get stronger to handle the demands better!

Tendons need an active approach

We like to say, "deload to reload!"
