MUSCLE THERAPY FOR TENDONITIS

Tendons are springy bands of tissue that attach muscles to bones. A common injury called Tendonitis is the result of microscopic tears to the tendon or tendon sheath. This is usually caused by overuse or repetitive motion.
​
One technique that we do here at Hybrid Health Performance for tendonitis is called cross fiber friction. Lucy and I will use back and forth strokes using medium to deep pressure to a tendon perpendicular to the muscle fiber direction. This speeds up the tendon’s healing process by increasing the production of collagen.

Afterwards, we will then also loosen the muscles surrounding the tendon to take pressure off of it and give it space to heal. To do that, we will use a variety of techniques and tools designed to loosen up muscles and the surrounding soft tissues.

If you are dealing with tendonitis symptoms, don’t wait! Schedule your appointment today at www.performancehybridhealth.com.
