Treatment of muscle and tendon overuse injuries

Muscle and tendon injuries usually originate from training overload. Anabolic steroids play an increasing role, particularly in young ambitious athletes. Non compensation of repetitive, specialized movements in a certain sports, e.g. marathon training or cycling with monotonous force, results in shortened muscles, tendons and myofascial structures. Chronic tender points and injuries are the result.
Easy clinical testing techniques are the "listening hand" and sonography. Any little injury of a tendon or muscle affects the whole body system and its functions. The Tensegrity Model describes this idea: the whole body is connected in a 3D model of soft tissue, in other words, the bones hover in a sea of soft tissue. Hence, every injury or treatment affects other structures in the body.

​Self-healing of muscles and tendons takes time, but physical and manual therapy or regenerative methods can shorten the healing process:

• Osteopathic Myofascial Techniques
• Shockwave Therapy
• High Energy Inductive Therapy
• High Tone Power Therapy
• Functional Training and Stretching
• PRP injektion for treating defects
