Understanding Tendon Pain and Management

Tendon pain remains an area where knowledge is still developing, particularly regarding its sources and effective management strategies. It is crucial to recognize that local and centrally driven mechanisms can contribute to tendon pain, yet there is still a lack of clarity about what specifically triggers these issues. Researchers like Keith and Professor Hazel Screen are paving the way in this field, highlighting that tendon management requires a nuanced approach. The interrelation between pathology changes, tendon function, and symptoms can be complex, as all three aspects can occur independently, making individualized assessment vital for effective treatment.
