Tendonitis Treatment Melbourne
Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff, elbow — we treat all tendon conditions with evidence-based progressive loading programmes that actually work.
Why Choose Injury Active
Tendon pain is one of the most common and most mismanaged musculoskeletal conditions. Rest alone doesn't fix tendons — and many people spend months avoiding activity, only to find their pain returns the moment they try to get back to sport or training.
At Injury Active Clinic, our physiotherapists, osteopaths, myotherapists, and exercise physiologists use evidence-based progressive loading programmes — the gold standard for tendon rehabilitation — to get you back to full activity as quickly and safely as possible.
Types of Tendon Pain
Tendon pain can affect almost any joint in the body. Accurate diagnosis ensures the right loading programme for your specific tendon.
Pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon, typically worse in the morning or after activity. Common in runners, gym-goers, and active adults. Responds well to progressive loading.
Pain at the front of the knee below the kneecap, often called 'jumper's knee'. Common in athletes who run, jump, or squat heavily. Requires a structured tendon loading programme.
Degeneration or irritation of the rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder, causing pain with overhead movements, pressing, or reaching. Common in gym-goers and overhead athletes.
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) — overuse tendon conditions causing elbow pain with gripping, lifting, or wrist movements.
Degeneration of the gluteal tendons at the hip, causing lateral hip pain that is aggravated by prolonged sitting, crossing legs, or single-leg activities. Common in middle-aged women.
Pain along the inner ankle and arch, often associated with flat feet or overpronation. Can cause significant functional limitation if left untreated.
