Rehab exercises, also known as isometric exercises, are designed to help manage tendon pain and gradually build tendon strength.
Tendon pain is often caused by tendons being underprepared for a rapid increase in training load, not simply from overuse. Performing isometric holds can help reduce pain while improving tendon capacity over time.
A general recommendation is to:
Perform 3 sets of 30-second isometric holds targeting the painful movement.
Complete them twice per day for 4 to 8 weeks.
Keep pain during the exercise at 3 to 4 out of 10 or less.
Once symptoms improve, continue performing a few minutes of isometrics after your workouts to help maintain tendon health.
