Activ Insight
Tendinopathy & Bursitis
Tendons and bursae are essential for smooth joint movement. When injured or inflamed, athletes may experience pain, reduced power, loss of endurance, restricted motion, and higher risk of further injury. If untreated, these issues can become chronic and limit peak performance.
TENDON & BURSA TREATMENT
Beyond Pain: The Functional Approach
We recognize that true recovery demands a commitment to restoring full function, not just reducing pain.
Our comprehensive approach focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying biomechanical weaknesses or movement faults that led to the injury, thereby preventing recurrence.
By addressing the root cause, we rebuild the patient’s physical integrity and, crucially, restore the confidence in movement necessary for a complete return to daily life and athletic performance.
Injuries We Treat
Chronic Tendinopathy
Long-standing tendon irritation or degeneration from overuse, reducing strength and performance.
Acute Tendinopathy
Sudden tendon injury or tear causing sharp pain and functional limitation.
Chronic Bursitis
Persistent bursa inflammation from repetitive stress, leading to joint stiffness and discomfort.
Acute Bursitis
Rapid-onset inflammation of a bursa, often due to impact or infection, causing swelling and pain.
Our 5-Step Approach
- Diagnosis & Load Check – Identify the affected tendon or bursa and assess pain triggers.
- Pain & Inflammation Control – Reduce irritation with targeted therapies while maintaining safe activity.
- Biomechanics Correction – Fix faulty movement patterns that cause overload.
- Strength & Conditioning – Gradually rebuild tendon and joint resilience with progressive exercises.
- Return-to-Play Integration – Reintroduce sport-specific drills for a safe, confident comeback.

Tendinopathy & Bursitis FAQ
Think of them as crucial components for smooth movement:
- Tendons: Tough, cord-like tissues that connect your muscles to your bones (like the Achilles tendon). They transfer the power from your muscle to move the joint.
Bursae (Bursitis): Small, fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions between bones, tendons, and muscles around a joint. They help reduce friction and rubbing.
When tendons (Tendinopathy) or bursae (Bursitis) are injured or inflamed, athletes typically experience:
- Pain and discomfort.
- Reduced power and muscle strength.
- Loss of endurance and difficulty with repetitive tasks.
- Stiffness or restricted joint motion. If left untreated, these issues can become chronic (long-lasting) and severely limit your peak performance.
- Acute: This means sudden onset, usually a recent, sharp injury like a sudden tendon tear or a bursa swelling up quickly after an impact.
- Chronic: This means long-standing or persistent irritation and degeneration. It often develops over time from repeated overuse, leading to persistent discomfort and reduced strength.
We focus on the “Functional Approach” meaning our goal is not just to reduce your pain, but to restore your full function and movement. Simply masking the pain doesn’t solve the problem; we want to get you moving strongly and confidently again.
Pain often only shows up because of a root cause (biomechanical weakness) or a faulty movement pattern (like running or throwing incorrectly). If we only treat the pain, the underlying flaw remains, and the injury is likely to come back (recurrence). We identify and fix that root cause to ensure a lasting recovery.
Absolutely Yes. By thoroughly fixing the physical issues and gradually rebuilding your strength, we also restore your confidence in movement. Knowing that your body has been fully repaired and is stronger than before is essential for a complete return to daily life and high-level athletic performance.
