Treatment
Biokinetic and ergonomic strategies IV
•Mobilise – manual therapy (physiotherapy)
•Mobilise – exercise therapy to appropriately strengthen the tendons and muscles.
–Graded loading of tendon g improved collagen alignment & cross linkage g improved strength
–Eccentric training drills g stimulate mechanoreceptors in tenocytes g hcollagen production
–Collagen production key to tendinosis recovery
•Re-introduction to the workplace (Work hardening and ergonomics adjustments)
