Eccentric Strengthening at Premier Care Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

Eccentric strengthening is a specialized form of resistance training focused on controlled muscle lengthening, often used to rehab injuries, enhance muscle control, and prevent re-injury. This method is especially effective for treating chronic conditions like tendinopathy and post-surgical weakness.

What is Eccentric Strengthening?

Eccentric exercises emphasize the lengthening phase of muscle contraction—for example, slowly lowering a weight. These controlled movements help build strength, reduce strain on joints, and promote tendon healing. Our therapists incorporate eccentric work into personalized programs targeting specific muscles and injury sites.

Benefits of Eccentric Strengthening

• Tendon Repair & Remodeling: Especially effective for conditions like Achilles, patellar, and rotator cuff tendinopathies.
• Improved Muscle Control: Enhances stability and joint protection during dynamic movements.
• Increased Strength: Builds muscle power while minimizing the risk of overload.
• Injury Recovery & Prevention: Helps restore function while reducing the chance of re-injury.
• Functional Performance: Prepares the body for real-life and sport-specific movements.
