How it works
Mechanical loading stimulates tenocytes to produce new Type I collagen, reorganising the disorganised tendon matrix. Heavy slow resistance (3 seconds up, 3 seconds down) optimises tendon mechanical stimulus.
Pain during exercise is acceptable (up to 4–5/10) — some loading on the tendon is therapeutic. Pain that is significantly worse the next morning indicates too much load. Supervised by physiotherapist initially.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
