- Tendinopathy is a common condition characterized by pain and dysfunction in tendons, especially among active individuals, resulting from excessive load beyond the tendon’s capacity.
- Treatment of tendinopathy is challenging due to its chronic nature, long recovery times, and the lack of a clear understanding of its causes and how pain and function are related.
- Current evidence suggests that a slowly progressive loading program is more effective than complete rest, and other treatments should focus on pain relief while being further researched for efficacy.
