Overuse injury

In Review

Nothing here was overloaded once — it was loaded the same way a thousand times with nothing in between. Repetitive stress without recovery irritates tendons and keeps them irritated, and the quiet driver is a lack of movement options: when the body only has one way to do a task, one set of tissue absorbs every repetition. Variety and recovery are the treatment, not just rest.
