About this listen
In Part 1 of "Tissue Issues" the Movement Is Medicine team break down the biology behind the aches and tears that bring people to the clinic.
We cover:
• Muscle strains and grade 1–3 tears (why partial tears can hurt more than full tears and typical 2–8 week timelines)
• Tendons as the "ropes" that fray over time — why they're slow to heal, how tendinopathy differs from true tendonitis, and why progressive loading matters (hint: rest isn't always the answer)
• The avulsion problem (strong tendon, weak attachment) and the role of vascularity, hormones, and systemic disease in tissue health
• How to triage pain without catastrophizing — strength testing, unilateral vs. bilateral pain clues, and when pain is likely a misfiring brain signal rather than structural doom
Practical, direct, and full of clinical stories, this episode gives listeners the language to understand tissue injuries and the timelines to expect — plus the clinical heuristics clinicians use when deciding "rest vs. load" and when to worry. Subscribe for Part 2 where we tackle ligaments, bone, cartilage, capsules, and nerves.
