Rehabilitation massage with icoone can facilitate healing and reduce the symptoms of tendinopathya
They are like 'strings' stretched between muscles and bones: tendons, fibrous connective tissue structures rich in collagen, allow us to move because thanks to them, muscle force is applied to the bones, giving them the right stimulus to move. When tendons become inflamed, action must be taken to resolve the problem because the symptoms are very unpleasant.
Symptoms of tendinopathy
When a tendinopathy develops, the local pain can be very intense and particularly strong when touching the affected area or using the joint while making both active and passive movements. In addition, a decline in muscle strength related to inflamed tendons.
The cause is almost always a functional overloadi.e. the accumulation of many micro-traumas due to various factors:
- overuse of the joint and tendon when making a wrong movement
- excessively prolonged exercise
- maintaining incorrect postures for a long time
- wrong movements being made on a regular basis
- trauma caused by acute events, mainly affecting the elbow, shoulder, hand and knee
What is the best treatment for a tendinopathy?
In addition to intervening with the so-called RICE protocol, acronym from English rest, ice, compression and elevation, which indicates what to do in the immediate aftermath of a tendon injury, physical rehabilitation with appropriate physiotherapy is useful for healing. The pain and motor deficit of the affected joint can in fact be resolved with targeted physiotherapy and massage that reaches deep down, reactivating the repair processes.
