R
Reassure & Recover
Understand the problem, adjust aggravating loads and begin manageable movement.
Our approach to tendon recovery
A clearer path through tendon recovery
Tendon recovery shouldn't be a guessing game. Our programs help you understand your symptoms, find a manageable starting point and progressively rebuild the capacity for the activities you value.
We use an Active Recovery approach: understand, participate, adapt and build. Appropriate rest or professional assessment may be important, but recovery often involves finding tolerable ways to stay engaged rather than waiting for every symptom to disappear.
RISE: your recovery roadmap
RISE describes practical recovery phases, not fixed timelines or precise biological stages. You may move forward or back as your symptoms and demands change.
I
Increase Capacity
Gradually increase activity tolerance and foundational strength.
S
Strengthen & Spring
Build greater strength and, when appropriate, faster or spring-like loading.
E
Expand & Engage
Return to meaningful work, recreation or sport and develop long-term confidence.
CORE: deciding what to do next
C — Capacity
Understand what your tendon and the rest of your body can currently tolerate.
O — Optimal Load
Choose activity and exercise that provide a useful challenge you can recover from.
R — Remodel
Progressively develop strength and tolerance for the demands of daily life and sport.
E — Evidence
Use changes in symptoms, morning stiffness, strength, function and recovery to adjust your plan.
RISE tells you where you are. CORE helps you decide what to do next.
These frameworks support learning and decision-making; they do not replace individualized assessment. Sudden injury, significant weakness, unusual symptoms or persistent deterioration warrant professional evaluation.
