Pain/stiffness that tends to warm-up during the first 5-10 minutes of a run, but aches/stiffens again following activity.Stiffness felt after periods of inactivity.Gradual onset of morning stiffness, which may resolve after 5-10mins (often worse on mornings after a run or activity the day prior).This means that the traditional RICER (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Referral) acronym does not always apply, and treatment may in fact revolve more around correcting and modifying training loads. Previously known as tendinitis, which translates to inflammation of the tendon (-itis=inflammation), we now know that tendinopathies are primarily not an inflammatory condition, rather a condition that involves cellular changes to the tendon and the arrangement of collagen fibres and its supporting framework, known as the matrix.
Whether you are just getting into running or a seasonal veteran, you may have heard of ‘tendinopathy’ (formerly better known as tendonitis), and with the Gold Coast Marathon just around the corner we are seeing our fair share of them at the Ferry Rd Physio Southport Clinic, be that at the Achilles, patella, gluteal or hamstring tendons.
