Welcome to Tendonworks
I’m David, founder of Tendonworks. Since 2002, Tendonworks has specialised in assisting horses to recover from tendon injuries by offering expert advice, personalised treatment plans, and essential products for equine tendon and ligament care. If you're managing an injury, please reach out, we'd love to help you.
My journey began unexpectedly after developing a groundbreaking treatment for human tendon injuries, which I adapted for horses. At the time, many traditional approaches, like box rest, firing and blistering were outdated and ineffective.
Believing in a better way, I founded Tendonworks. Over the last two decades, we've pioneered a structured, active recovery method to replace obsolete techniques.
With a background in healthcare, diagnostic imaging and sports medicine, I've shaped Tendonworks to prioritise personalised care.
Every rehabilitation program is customised, using precise diagnostics and hands-on support to ensure a safe return to peak performance.
Combining scientific research and experience with over 650 cases, Tendonworks provides a science-backed, clear path to recovery without guesswork.
We’re committed to your horse's well-being and a full return to health and performance.
Let’s connect, together, we’ll create a recovery plan you can trust.
At Tendonworks, we’re committed to providing transparent, trustworthy support for managing your horse’s tendon or ligament issues. Each of our services and products is designed to ensure the best possible outcome for your horse’s recovery, with expertly selected recommendations and exclusive Tendonworks products tailored to address gaps in the market.
We understand everyone’s circumstances are different, so we aim to fit completely around your needs.

At Tendonworks, we understand that tendon injuries aren't just about fixing the damage, they’re about giving your horse the best possible chance to recover fully and regain the strength, confidence, and performance level they once had.
Our science-driven, the horse first and always approach which prioritises your horse’s wellbeing goes beyond short-term fixes, offering tailored rehabilitation programs that restore your horse's conditioning and stability, whether it's to return to racing or simply back to their best.
We know how heartbreaking it can be to see your horse in pain or struggling with recovery, and we're here to support you every step of the way. With our science-backed treatments and years of experience, we offer personalised care to help your horse not only heal but also regain strength and prevent future injuries, giving you peace of mind.
At Tendonworks, we don’t just treat injuries, we take a holistic approach that prioritises your horse’s long-term health. Every management plan is carefully researched and tailored to your horse’s unique needs, blending scientific innovation with real-world experience to ensure the best possible outcomes for tendon and ligament injuries.
While tendon injuries can be challenging to treat, and NO short-term fixes exist. Our success rate of around 70% returning horses to their pre injury position, demonstrates our commitment to achieving lasting results.
We believe in being transparent and honest: if your horse’s injury is too severe or their welfare would be compromised by a return to racing or sport activity, we will tell you.
Your horse’s well-being always comes first at Tendonworks.

Inclusions:
Thorough diagnostics (ultrasound and biomechanical)
Bespoke tendon regeneration therapy
12-week supervised exercise regimen

In the later stages of development is a novel pin prick, pre-clinical diagnostic biomarker blood test for early on-set degeneration of the tendon’s extra cellular matrix (ECM). This test rapidly converts research data into a licensable & market ready product for the preclinical (early) identification tendinosis.
