Services
The Tendon Lab provides specialized Achilles and Patellar tendon services across two areas:
RECOVERY - comprehensive evaluation and treatment for individuals currently experiencing tendon pain or injury.
MONITORING - for athletes or teams seeking proactive assessment to reduce injury risk before problems develop.
1) RECOVERY
Current tendon pain or injury? Get back in the game!
Tendon pain that won't go away is frustrating - especially when you don't know exactly what's wrong or how to fix it. Our comprehensive evaluation takes the guesswork out of recovery by showing you exactly what's happening inside your tendon and creating a personalized roadmap back to pain-free movement.
What each client receives:
Advanced ultrasound imaging with color-coded tissue analysis to identify and quantify tendon health
Comprehensive function testing utilizing force plate technology to identify muscle and movement deficits (results available immediately after via mobile app)
Complete injury history review with analysis of current training program
Immediate verbal recovery plan with specific exercises, timelines, and progression markers, with more detailed written recommendations provided within 48 hours
Perfect for: athletes returning from injury, anyone dealing with persistent tendon pain, or individuals who’ve tried other treatments without lasting success.
2) MONITORING
No symptoms? Let’s keep it that way!
Overuse tendon injuries don’t happen overnight - so don't wait until your tendon hurts to find out there's a problem. Our monitoring service gives you objective visibility into your tendon health before pain or dysfunction appears, allowing you to adjust training and reduce injury risk when it matters most.
What each client receives:
Baseline tendon profiling using Ultrasound Tissue Characterization to quantify tendon structure
Isolated strength testing of key muscles that are important for reducing tendon injury risk
Clear reporting with actionable recommendations for training
Specific tendon loading recommendations
Longitudinal trends provided once multiple visits are completed
Perfect for: athletes or teams preparing for a season, runners increasing mileage, or anyone with a history of tendon issues who want proactive tendon health surveillance.
