Aims of Physiotherapy Treatment

In Tendinitis the aim is to reduce inflammation (for example using RICE) and you can expect to get better in approximately 6 weeks, although every case is different.

In Tendinosis it’s important to improve circulation and promote tissue healing. You should expect healing to take 3 to 6 months. Treatment may include cross friction massage, taping (for example with kinesio tape), trigger point acupressure or dry needle acupuncture, low level laser therapy and / or ultrasound.

Anti-inflammatory medications do not help tendinosis and cortisone injections may have an adverse effect, because they may actually inhibit collagen repair to the damaged tissues.
