A stiff tendon will not stretch and so the muscle attached to that tendon will have more eccentric loading, which can result in tendinopathies. Eccentric exercises have the most evidence of effectiveness in the treatment of tendinopathy. What is eccentric strengthening? An eccentric muscle contraction is when a muscle lengthens under tension, typically as an external force overcomes the muscle's resistance. The muscle gets longer while it’s still generating force. So an example of eccentric strengthening would be slowly lowering a weight during a bicep curl. My best advice to you for your tendon is to keep your joints healthy by maintaining your range of motion and strength. If you get tendinitis, anti-inflammatory meds are helpful in the early phases, but eccentric exercises are what I can offer my patients as a physical therapist. Finally, you might want to consider seeing a physical therapist to make you a specific exercise routine. We prescribe exercise!
