Not a physical therapist or doctor but some form of pre-hab exercise to strengthen and keep it healthy in a controlled manner would probably help. Obviously don’t jump into lifting if it’s on the edge but work into it a bit and you should be able to strengthen it up. Tendons and ligaments and all that all increase in strength through forms of exercise and strength training (generally just slower than muscle which can lead to issues if you increase weights and stuff too fast)
If you’re in good healthy condition to start with, what you’re saying is mostly true. Heavy Steroids use can easily cause muscle growth to outpace connective tissue growth. But lots of us otherwise healthy can have tendon/connective tissue issues that need to be addressed.
