Although the exact way in which eccentric exercise improves tendinitis is not known, researchers have discovered that muscle elasticity is a key feature of eccentric muscle contraction, and that eccentric exercise increases muscle elasticity. The leading hypothesis is that muscle tissues that have been made elastic by eccentric exercise effectively distribute and absorb forces...

Hello and welcome to the board,Skogar! This is so interesting. Thank you so much for giving me the link and the information. I just printed some of it out for my son.

His problem is, in his elbows, arms and shoulders. Do you have any tendinosis yourself?

I hope the guy doesn't mind me quoting something from his website:

Eccentric exercises can worsen pain and lead to a relapse if not done with the right protocol. If, however, they are done with the right protocol, these exercises may be the only thing that can help someone with patellar tendinosis.

The following website describes one patient's protocol. Over two years he experimented through trial-and-error three different programs of eccentric exercise. The first two times led to relapses and worsened pain. He was determined to find a...

Do you think this Tendinosis is hereditary? You say you suffer a similar complaint in your arms.

Hello Mosken

I did a Google search for the sort of treatment that they use in the UK for treatment of tendinoses.

I thought I would post the link, as I'm not sure you get to see UK pages when you use Google. You probably get Norweigan and American. We get UK and American.

Anyway this link talks of the use of ultrasound for use in degenerative tendinoses.

The page is a bit complicated, but I thought there might be something there that...

Tendinosis is a degenerative condition, rather than an inflammatory one. Some experts believe that NSAIDs may not be helpful for tendon pain caused by degeneration of the tissue and may inhibit healing during the inflammatory stage of an injury. Inflammation is one stage of the body's healing process and, if it is stopped in progress, there may be a delay in healing. ^{Re: Tendinosis-eccentric exercise

If you were here in Canada, the doctors would probably recommend swimming in heated pool and jaccuzy sessions. Here they believe in thermal therapy and mostly
in water.

Hello Mosken

I'm so sorry that the eccentric exercise is not improving the condition for your son.

I don't know if this is quite the same thing, but I have had weak tendons and ligaments since childhood. A kind of genetic weakness in the tendons.
They damage very easily and if I over-use them then the pain is severe, and then for a while afterwards the slightest use of that area brings on sharp pain.
Worst affected are knees, feet, shoulders, arms,...

My son had this diagnoses verfied by ultra sound. Eccentric exercise is all they believe in...which is making him worse..

Tendinosis is an accumulation over time of small-scale injuries that don't heal properly; it is a chronic injury of failed healing. Although you
can't see the tendinosis injury on the outside of your body, researchers have seen what the injury...}
