How long does it take to heal tennis elbow? Most recent updates. How long do tendons take to heal?

Last week I got to spend a few hours doing one of my most favorite things - learning at a conference!

And I had to share what was presented about tendon healing:

Tendon injuries will affect 1 in 10 of us
Tendons account for 30-50% of all sports injuries
Tendons have a lack of tissue turnover, which leads to a lack of tissue renewal
Exercise is the only "drug" that promotes tendon growth
Tendons are responsive to load, but are a slow responding tissue, so programs need to be longer than 12 weeks

So what does that mean for you trying to heal your elbow?

It IS going to take time to heal and that is completely normal
There are NO quick fixes - anything that promises to "Fix" your tennis elbow in 5 minutes....Nope!
A structured, progressive program is optimum to heal tendons
Exercises that load the tendon are essential for healing

Think of load like a drug:

too little and it's ineffective
too much and you get side effects
just right and it's beneficial
