Muscle & Tendon Injuries

Settle the symptoms. Build back your strength.

A sudden pull during a sprint. A calf that objects every time you run. A tendon that settles with rest, then starts hurting when you get going again.

Muscle and tendon problems can interrupt work, training and everyday life. The right starting point depends on what has happened and what you need your body to do.

At Motion, we’ll help you understand the problem and build a practical plan for getting back.

How we help

Start with understanding you.

We’ll ask how the problem began, whether there was a sudden incident or a gradual change, and what makes the symptoms better or worse. Your recent activity and previous injuries can also be relevant.

We may assess movement, strength and your response to appropriate tasks. The examination will be adapted to your symptoms and stage of recovery.

We’ll explain what we think is happening and whether physiotherapy or rehabilitation is appropriate. A suspected significant tear or rupture may need urgent medical assessment instead.

Understanding your symptoms

Muscle and tendon problems we assess

Muscles and tendons work together to help you move, but their injuries don’t all follow the same pattern.

Problems we may assess and rehabilitate include:

The name of an injury is only part of the picture. We’ll also look at how it is affecting you and what you need to get back to.

  • Hamstring and calf strains
  • Groin and adductor muscle injuries
  • Other muscle strains related to work or exercise
  • Achilles tendon-related pain
  • Patellar tendon-related pain around the knee
  • Shoulder and elbow tendon problems
  • Recurring symptoms when training load increases
  • Rehabilitation after a muscle or tendon repair, following specialist guidance

01 / Find a starting point

First, let's get things settled.

With a recent injury, the early plan may include protecting the area and temporarily reducing activities that aggravate it. As suitable movement becomes possible, we’ll help you find an appropriate starting point.

For a longer-standing tendon problem, we’ll consider how activity and exercise can be adjusted to what you currently tolerate. The plan may be different from the approach to a new muscle strain.

We won’t ask you to follow someone else’s recovery timetable or push through a sudden worsening of symptoms.

02 / Get back to what matters

Then we'll build you back towards your goal.

As you progress, rehabilitation should prepare you for the demands you want to return to. That means more than waiting for the area to feel quieter.

Depending on your goal, we can work towards:

  • Lifting and carrying in everyday life
  • Rebuilding strength for work or the gym
  • Tolerating repeated running or sporting movements
  • Progressing towards sprinting, jumping or changing direction
  • Feeling more confident using the injured area

We’ll review your response and adapt the exercises and activity with you. The aim is to build useful capacity, not simply complete a list of exercises.
