Tendonitis
Description
What is Tendonitis (aka Tendinitis)?
Tendinitis (or tendonitis) is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Tendons are pieces of connective tissue between muscles and bones. Tendonitis can be either acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) in nature.
Woodworking
Shoveling
Painting
Scrubbing
Tennis, golf, skiing, baseball (throwing/pitching)
Elbow
Shoulder
Hip
Knee
Achilles tendon
Typically rest from the repetitive activity that caused the tendonitis is recommended along with applying cold (ice) as well as anti-inflammatory medications. In more recent years, massage therapy has become a popular mode of treatment for tendonitis because massage targets and works the injured tendon fibres and surrounding muscle tissue. This results in a loosening of the muscles and at the same time boosts blood circulation and healthy collagen in and around the affected area.
