Tendinitis / Tendinopathy

Are you suffering with a Stiff, Swollen or Painful Tendon?
Let us help get it sorted here at The Physio & Sports Injury Clinic in Rhos on Sea without the need for any medications, injections or surgery.

Tendinitis (or Tendinopathy as its correctly called) is the swelling &/or break-down of the elasticated structures (anchors) which hold a muscle down onto a bone. Tendons don’t have a great blood supply, therefore when they get injured they can be slow to heal! The 3 most commonly injured tendons are: Achilles tendon (back of heel), Patella tendon (below kneecap) and Rotator cuff (outer shoulder).

Tendon injuries often occur for 2 main reasons: traumatically from a sudden movement or fall (where you may feel a tear), otherwise they can come on gradually over a period of weeks/months and you just wake up with it (e.g. Repetitive strain/RSI).

Does This Sound Like You?

  • You’ve hurt yourself, but are trying to plough on hoping it will just settle naturally?

  • The tendon area has swelled up a lot and is not calming down.

  • Moving the injured area first thing in the morning is the worst for it.

  • You’ve tried rest, but as soon as you go back to activity, the pain comes back on immediately.

  • You’ve tried self-diagnosing the problem on Google, which just worries you more.

“Its not often you find someone who is good at their job. I had damaged my Rotator Cuff tendons in my shoulder from a fall out running 3 months ago and wasn’t getting any better. I came to The Physio & Sports Injury Clinic and Oliver healed it within 6 weeks! If you have a Shoulder injury, then this is the clinic to go!”

Testimonial 11 (Martin)

“I came to see Oliver due to terrible pain in my elbow whilst swimming. I was worried I would have to give up my swimming, but Oliver didn’t take long in explaining the root cause of the problem. He got me on a strengthening programme for my forearm (using weights/elastics bands) and since I have not had a single issue with the elbow and am swimming a mile each morning before work. I would recommend Oliver to everybody.”
