It's recommended that we load at ≥70% of 1 Rep Max during rehab but what does this translate to in terms of reps to fatigue? Nuzzo et al. (2024) suggests 70% of 1RM is ~15RM which is a good place to start with loading & can be progressed towards 6RM (& heavier) as symptoms allow
Mechanisms for tendon adaptation include strain, fluid movement and stress relaxation.
Here I discuss what they are, how they relate to each other and some considerations when you are loading human tendons.

Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher slams Glastonbury for becoming ‘Woke’ and calls festival goers waving Palestinian flags “F*king Idiots.’
The musician took aim at this years festival after it was filled with Pro-Palestine messaging.
“It’s getting a bit woke now, that place, and a bit kind of preachy and a bit virtue-signalling.
I don’t like it in music – little f*cking idiots waving flags around and making political statements and bands taking the stage and saying, ‘Hey guys, isn’t war terrible, yeah? Let’s all boo war.
F*ck the Tories man,’ and all that. It’s like, look – play your f*cking tunes and get off.”

Biology and physiology of tendon healing
Main stages of the healing process. The healing process is composed of 3 successive phases: an inflammatory phase then a proliferative phase and finally, a remodeling phase.

Cross fitter
Worsening R shoulder stiffness (particularly external rotation, HBB, overhead press position) & deep seated aching
Pain at night
Then pain & 'tightness' spreading to the neck, shoulder girdle, scapula
Pain radiating down to wrist & hand - also middle digits & intermittent P&N
MRI - glenohumeral joint circumferential capsulitis ('frozen shoulder') - plus significant disc bulge C6/7 with C7 nerve root compression
It's common to see a primary shoulder condition lead to / evolve into secondary wider neck & girdle muscle dysfunction over time - tightness, headaches etc
It's also common for shoulder structures eg cuff & GHJ to refer pain down the arm, even below the elbow to the wrist occasionally
But here clearly two co-existing pathologies....
Discriminating factors -
1. Symptoms beyond wrist to hand & fingers
2. Symptoms triggered by both CSp & shoulder movements - always examine neck & neuro with what appear to be 'shoulder' injuries!

Extensor tendons of the hand from "PicturingMedicine"👍At the base of the finger, the long tendon from forearm muscles joined by short tendons from small muscles in the hand to form a complicated sheet of tendon fibres over the back of finger and has a central & 2 lateral bands
