Non-surgical management is the most implemented rehabilitation approach with most of the cases resolving in this way. In some cases, where conservative treatment has not yielded satisfactory results, or when the condition is in advanced stages with severe symptoms, surgical management may be considered. Our strong recommendation regarding tendinopathy is to not delay seeking medical attention as the condition tends to degenerate over time and a prompt diagnosis coupled with early non-surgical management is vital for successful rehabilitation outcomes. Different strategies to temporarily “deload” to then “re-load” the tendon can be implemented throughout the rehabilitation process with the final goal of enhancing the tendon’s resilience and ability to withstand higher stresses. In the literature, an array of interventions including the use of pharmacologic intervention, injections and exercise medicine (e.g.: overcoming and yielding isometrics, eccentric training, restoring muscular imbalances, etc.) have been recommended, however, it is important for the plan to be successful to be directed and supervised by competent staff. In Isokinetic, after being assessed by one of our specialised doctors, you will be prescribed a rehabilitation plan tailored to your specific condition. Together with the rehabilitation team you will gradually resolve your symptoms and gradually reload the tendon to increase its tolerance. After having optimised your mobility, and restored your muscle strength and muscular balance, you will progress in our movement analysis and retraining room to enhance your movement quality. Finally, you will complete your rehabilitation with our on-field rehabilitation service where you will be able to completely restore your loading tolerance and return to your practised sport, optimising your performance and minimising the risk of relapse.
