Physiotherapy for Tendinitis in Mississauga
Tendinitis is a painful condition caused by irritation or inflammation of a tendon, often resulting from repetitive movements, overuse, or sudden increases in activity. If left untreated, tendinitis can become chronic, limiting strength, mobility, and daily function.
At Get Back Physiotherapy, we provide specialized physiotherapy for tendinitis in Mississauga, focusing on reducing pain, promoting tendon healing, restoring movement, and preventing recurrence through evidence-based treatment plans.
What Is Tendinitis?
Tendinitis occurs when a tendon—the strong tissue connecting muscle to bone—becomes overloaded or strained. This leads to pain, tenderness, stiffness, and weakness, especially during movement or activity.
Tendinitis may develop gradually or suddenly and can affect individuals of all ages, from office workers to athletes and physically demanding professionals.
Common Types of Tendinitis We Treat
Our physiotherapists treat a wide range of tendon injuries, including:
- Achilles tendinitis
- Patellar (jumper’s knee) tendinitis
- Rotator cuff and shoulder tendinitis
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Wrist and hand tendinitis
- Hip flexor tendinitis
- Ankle and foot tendinitis
Each condition requires a specific rehabilitation approach based on tendon load tolerance and activity demands.
Symptoms of Tendinitis
Common signs that may benefit from physiotherapy include:
- Localized pain near a joint
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after rest
- Pain during or after activity
- Swelling or tenderness around the tendon
- Reduced strength or movement
- Pain that worsens with repetitive tasks
Early physiotherapy intervention can prevent long-term tendon degeneration.
Our Physiotherapy Approach for Tendinitis
At Get Back Physiotherapy, tendinitis treatment goes beyond symptom relief. We focus on restoring tendon capacity and function safely and progressively.
Detailed Clinical Assessment
We assess movement patterns, muscle imbalances, joint mechanics, posture, and activity levels to identify the true cause of tendon overload.
Pain & Inflammation Management
Targeted manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, and activity modification help reduce irritation and allow healing to begin.
Progressive Loading & Strengthening
Controlled tendon loading exercises are carefully introduced to stimulate tendon repair and improve strength without aggravation.
Flexibility & Mobility Training
Stretching and mobility work reduce stress on the affected tendon and surrounding joints.
Movement Re-Education
Correction of faulty movement patterns at work, sports, or daily activities to prevent re-injury.
Tendinitis in Sports and Active Lifestyles
Athletes and active individuals are particularly prone to tendinitis due to repetitive training loads and inadequate recovery. Our Mississauga physiotherapists provide sport-specific rehabilitation to:
- Restore performance safely
- Improve strength and endurance
- Reduce downtime
- Prevent future flare-ups
We focus on long-term tendon resilience, not just short-term pain relief.
Workplace-Related Tendinitis Treatment
Repetitive strain from typing, lifting, standing, or repetitive manual tasks can contribute to tendinitis. Physiotherapy helps by:
- Reducing work-related pain
- Improving posture and ergonomics
- Strengthening support muscles
- Modifying movement habits
This approach supports sustainable recovery while remaining active at work.
Benefits of Physiotherapy for Tendinitis
With consistent physiotherapy care, patients often experience:
- Reduced pain and stiffness
- Improved tendon strength and durability
- Faster recovery timelines
- Improved joint mobility and function
- Reduced reliance on medications
- Lower risk of chronic tendon damage
Physiotherapy addresses both symptoms and underlying causes.
