We see three common presentations of tendons in the clinic. I'll explain a bit about the differences shortly, but first it's important to highlight the common theme seen in all three: insufficient capacity. What that means is the tolerance for the tendon is too low for the demands being placed on it. Tendons have a job to transmit force produced by the muscles and different exercises or activities impart different amounts of force on/through the tendon. They certainly let us know when they aren't up for the task.
This is important because tendons need load to maintain health and capacity. They need to work. Think of it like a working dog. They need a job to do otherwise they act out. OK, maybe not the best analogy. How about learning a language or any other skill? You must continue to practice that language or skill or else you lose your ability to use it. Without sufficient stress or loading, tendons will lose their capacity to do work and the risk of injury increases in the face of previous activities. Too much rest takes you down this path and can create a nasty cycle of injury.
