Tendon Pain & Tendinopathy Treatment in Burwood East
Achilles, patella, elbow, or bicep tendon pain that flares with activity and won't settle?
We find what's driving the overload and build a plan to fix it for good.
What is Tendon Pain?
Tendon pain — now most commonly called tendinopathy is usually the result of overuse, where a tendon is loaded faster than it can adapt. It’s especially common in people doing repetitive movements with poor technique or insufficient strength, which leaves the tendon vulnerable to breakdown over time. Unlike a sudden injury, tendinopathy tends to build gradually and flare with activity, which is why identifying the underlying cause not just treating the painful spot is key to lasting relief.
Symptoms
- Pain that builds gradually and worsens with activity
- Stiffness, especially first thing in the morning or after rest
- Tenderness directly over the tendon
- Pain that eases with movement but returns afterward
Common Areas We Treat
- Achilles tendon
- Patellar tendon (knee)
- Elbow (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
- Bicep tendon
- Rotator cuff tendon (shoulder)
How We Treat It at MyoActive
- Assess — We identify why the tendon is overloaded often a strength or technique issue elsewhere in the chain not just where the pain is.
- Treat — Manual therapy, dry needling and functional cupping to reduce pain and support tendon repair early in the process.
- Rebuild — A progressive strength and conditioning program matched to how the tendon is healing, since tendons need the right loading not rest alone to properly recover.

When to See Someone?
Most tendon pain responds well to the right loading plan, even when it’s been nagging for months. If you felt a sudden snap or pop, or there’s significant swelling and you can’t use the area at all, it’s worth getting assessed promptly to rule out a tear.
