Tendonitis Physiotherapy in Karachi | Rehabilitation for Tendon Pain and Tendinopathy

Tendonitis (tendinitis) is irritation or inflammation of a tendon (the thick cord that connects muscle to bone) and commonly happens due to overuse or repetitive strain. It often affects the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and heel/Achilles. Typical symptoms include pain and tenderness near a joint, stiffness, and pain that increases with activity. At Dr Rizwan Physiotherapy Home Service, we provide professional tendonitis physiotherapy in Karachi with a structured rehab plan to reduce pain, improve mobility, rebuild strength, and restore confident movement.

Many people also hear the term tendinopathy, which is an umbrella term for tendon conditions (including tendinitis and longer-term tendon irritation). Rehab focuses on improving the tendon’s ability to تحمل load again through a step-by-step strengthening and movement program.

Physiotherapy for Tendonitis in Karachi

Tendon pain can make daily work, lifting, walking, stairs, or exercise difficult. Physiotherapy helps by reducing overload, improving mobility, and progressing strengthening so the tendon becomes more tolerant to activity demands.

• Reduce tendon pain and tenderness around the joint
• Reduce stiffness and improve comfortable range of motion
• Improve tendon load tolerance with progressive strengthening
• Correct posture and movement patterns that overload the tendon
• Improve functional movement (walking, stairs, lifting, gripping)
• Prevent recurrence with load management and a home routine
• Safe return-to-activity plan (work, gym, sports)

Common Symptoms of Tendonitis

• Pain and tenderness near a joint (often where the tendon attaches)
• Stiffness, especially after rest
• Pain that increases with activity or repeated movement
• Swelling or thickened feeling around the tendon (sometimes)
• Weakness and reduced function due to pain

Our Tendonitis Physiotherapy Services

Your rehab plan depends on which tendon is involved (shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, Achilles) and how long symptoms have been present. Treatment may include:

• Load management to reduce tendon irritation while staying active safely
• Pain relief strategies and activity modification guidance
• Mobility exercises to restore movement and reduce stiffness
• Progressive strengthening (including controlled loading such as eccentric training when appropriate)
• Posture and biomechanics correction (work, lifting, sports technique)
• Stability and control training for the joint region involved
• Gradual return-to-activity plan to reduce flare-ups
• Home exercise program with progression rules for long-term improvement

Why Strengthening Matters in Tendon Rehab

Tendon overuse problems often improve when the tendon is gradually re-exposed to controlled нагруз / load through a planned exercise program. Strengthening helps the tendon adapt, improves function, and reduces repeated flare-ups when combined with proper activity progression.
