As I am nursing a couple injuries this is interesting and confirming research. I also pair my isometric/light load workouts of these damaged tendons/ligaments either infrared light, HMB, collagen, and 3-5g creatine, eating my veggies (strive to eat 30 different ones a week) and of course good sleep.
Tendon injuries often heal slowly because rest and ice reduce essential stress, causing scar tissue and weakness.
Leading researcher Dr. Keith Baar shows that low-load isometric holds rebuild collagen and realign fibers, speeding recovery without painkillers or injections.
By following a simple protocol—30-second holds, 4–5 reps, 1–2 daily sessions—and timing 15 g hydrolyzed collagen with vitamin C pre-workout, you unlock optimal healing.
Customizing angles for tennis elbow, Achilles, or patellar pain further personalizes rehab.
