Load Management and Activity Modification
for Tendonitis
Managing the total tendon load — reducing volume and intensity of provocative activities while maintaining overall fitness — is the first step in tendinopathy recovery.
How it works
Tendons respond to cumulative load over 24 hours, not just single-session load. Reducing high-load activities while maintaining low-load movement prevents decompensation while protecting the tendon from further overload.
What to watch for
Complete rest is counterproductive — tendons require some loading to maintain tendon integrity. The goal is to find a load that keeps pain at ≤3/10 during activity and returns to baseline within 24 hours.
