Why good or bad outcomes are tied to the timing of the start of exercise is still unknown but Andarawis-Puri does know that exercise begun two weeks after injury decreases cell death in the ECM and increases the population of myofibroblasts a cell type known to help with wound healing.
In the short term there will be a net loss of collagen production for around 24-36 hours post exercise so allow adequate rest days between strength sessions.
Tendon healing time. In some cases it may never be possible to move the affected finger or thumb as much as before it was damaged. Biochemical pathways activated during repair experimental injury models and parallels between tendon healing and tendon development are emphasized and cutting-edge strategies for the enhancement of tendon healing. Neutrophils monocytes and macrophages migrate to the wound site and clean the site of necrotic materials by phagocytosis.
In the inflammatory phase occurring three to seven days after the injury cells migrate from the extrinsic peritendinous tissue such as the tendon sheath periosteum subcutaneous tissue and fascicles as well as from the epitenon and endotenon. Follow these steps for 2 to 3 days to help manage pain and to support the tendon. Try to avoid moving the tendon for 2 to 3 days.

You can treat mild tendon injuries yourself and should feel better within 2 to 3 weeks. In some cases the joint becomes permanently stiff and a full range of motion might never return to the area. This review discusses the composition and function of healthy tendon and describes the structural biological and mechanical changes initiated during the process of tendon healing.
How to treat tendonitis yourself. Physical therapists can also treat inflamed tendons with. On a practical note it is worth remembering that tendon response to load takes time consider both short term and long term reaction to load.
Canine tendons immobilized for 3 to 6 weeks after surgery also have sufficient strength to allow active motion. If recognized early it might be treated successfully in as little as six weeks.
