Isotonic Rehab Progression
Isotonic rehab progression adds lifting through range after isometrics—building strength for return-to-sport with controlled tempo and range.
Isotonic rehab progression moves from isometric holds to lifting through range—concentric and eccentric muscle work—as pain allows. It rebuilds strength curves tendons need for sport.
Tempo and range stay smaller than pre-injury maxes early. Sequence: isometrics, then light isotonic, then speed and plyometrics last.
Common questions
-
Why not skip straight to heavy lifting?
Tissue capacity returns in stages—skipping isometrics and light isotonic work often re-irritates tendons when plyometrics arrive too soon.
