So for months and years, there is CONSTANT tension on the tendon structure. The more tension, the more strain. The more strain, the more opportunity for injury. Especially when you add in the following factors. 2. Tendonitis: Tendonitis is an ongoing process of increasing tightness and pain signal, and potentially also wear and tear injury of the tendon and scar tissue formation. The problem is, scar tissue is structurally weaker than the original tissue. So little by little, a spot can get structurally weaker and weaker.
