Psychological factors matter in tendinopathy! . My recent posts on Gluteal Tendinopathy have been focussed on diagnoses, pain distribution and early rehab but so far I’ve omitted something key - psychological factors like pain catastrophising, self-efficacy and depression can be associated with symptom severity. . We’ve seen this in Achilles tendinopathy too where a psychosocial dominant subgroup had the worst symptoms and poorest quality of life despite minimal tendon structural changes (Hanlon et al. 2021). . Activity modification and a loading programme are still important to improve strength and function but we should also address the psychological impact of tendinopathy, including people’s concerns and fears about the injury and its impact on their mental wellbeing. .
