Likely peritendon, avoid through range movement

No More likely to be a peritendon issue which is treated differently

You cannot predict rupture, and if they are asymptomatic they will not be seeking management. Rupture is much more likely to happen in daily life when weight-bearing than during exercise

These tendons are profoundly degenerative because of load accumulation through life Jozsa and Kannus 91 reported 66% of these tendons are asymptomatic before rupture

The literature is really mixed and confusing, there are a lot of treatments that have little evidence Have a look at Jason Rogers work

Agree and the load is variable through range and often not sufficient. Load can vary day to day depending on band placement, tendons like consistent load

Groin pain is very complex and requires differential diagnosis and management of all contributing structures Simple single tendon issues are not common

This more about compression between the restraining connective tissue and the tendon Primary response is in the connective tissue, tendon affected secondarily Reduce this load

Many of the groin rehab exercises are sufficient load

Energy storage and release is the highest tendon load, this is during weight-bearing athletic activity eg jumping, agility. Loads during isometrics will not be nearly as high

Interesting thread Every tendon is different in each person Subtleties in load prescription is the key skill of the clinician

Latest from myself & @ProfJillCook in @SportsMedicineJ where we discuss sex differences in patella & achilles tendons & what it may, or may not, mean for tendon health. #tendon #mechanicalproperties #morphology #injury @UlsterSchSport link.springer.com/article/10…

Female Tendons are from Venus and Male Tendons are from Mars, But Does it Matter for Tendon Health?

Sports Medicine - Tendons play fundamental roles in the execution of human movement and therefore understanding tendon function, health and disease is important for everyday living and sports...
