Collaboration Bridges the Gap in Rehabilitation

Tendon injuries often lead to a separation between medical treatment and strength conditioning, which hinders effective rehabilitation. Strength coaches need to stay engaged with athletes throughout the recovery process instead of solely relying on medical professionals. A more integrated approach is essential, as athletes will eventually return to strength training. Understanding specific factors that trigger tendon pain, such as jumping, landing, and changes in direction, allows strength coaches to tailor their training programs to facilitate a smoother transition back to peak performance.
