Key Points About Tendons From The Video

  • How tendons connect muscles to bones
  • How tendons store and release kinetic energy
  • How tendons are composed of bundles of Collagen fibers ‘fibrils’
  • Tendinopathies: The general term for tendon injuries
  • The fact that inflammation is a normal phase of healing
  • Some reduction in activity may be necessary but not total rest
  • Tendon healing can take 3-6 months
  • Eccentric Exercise is particularly useful in the rehab process
  • Gentle movement, stretching and massage is helpful
  • The right amount of movement and load helps to align the Collagen Fibers in the tendon as it’s healing and strengthening (the ‘Remodeling Phase’ of healing)
