Back to surfing after a total shoulder replacement. 🌊
Most people don’t associate a shoulder replacement with getting back in the ocean—but that’s exactly what Scott did.
Working alongside Dr. David, Scott followed a personalized rehabilitation plan focused on restoring his strength, mobility, and confidence. After putting in the work, he’s back surfing and doing what he loves.
Every recovery is different, but the goal is always the same: helping you return to the activities that matter most to you.
Congratulations, Scott! Thank you for trusting Dr. David and the Direct Performance team to be part of your recovery. We can’t wait to see you catch many more waves.

Patellar Tendinopathy Rehab: Are We Loading Too Much, Too Soon?

A recent study ranked 35 common rehab exercises based on how much load they place on the patellar tendon.

One surprising finding?

The single-leg decline squat produced the HIGHEST patellar tendon load of any exercise tested. Yet it’s often prescribed early in rehab for jumper’s knee. 📈

This doesn’t mean the exercise is wrong.

It means the timing matters.

Successful tendon rehab isn’t about finding the “best” exercise—it’s about finding the right exercise for the right stage of recovery.

Tendons respond best to progressive loading. Start with what the tendon can tolerate, build capacity over time, and gradually expose it to higher loads as symptoms improve.

The goal isn’t to avoid load.
The goal is to respect it.

If you’re dealing with persistent knee pain, jumper’s knee, or patellar tendinopathy, a structured loading program can make all the difference.
