Five tendon problems, explained properly

What each one actually is, what sets it off, the patterns that mean it is something else entirely, and the loading progression that rebuilds capacity. Free to read, no account, and the same material the program is built from.

These guides are general health education about common tendon problems. They are not an assessment of yours, and Zinde itself is a strength and conditioning tool rather than a medical device. If something is getting worse or does not match what is described, see a physiotherapist or doctor.
