What is TENDONITIS?
Tendonitis is a common condition that involves inflammation or irritation of a tendon, the thick fibrous cords that attach muscles to bones. This inflammation can cause pain and tenderness, limiting the range of motion and making daily activities more difficult. Tendonitis can occur in various parts of the body, such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, or ankle, and is often caused by repetitive movements, overuse, or sudden injury.
It can be a sudden onset of pain once your tendon reaches the limit or a gradual build up over time which results in pain & general dysfunction. It is important to not exacerbate your symptoms and begin seeking treatment.
Common Causes and Risk Factors of Tendonitis
There are several factors that can contribute to the development of tendonitis, including:
Overuse: Repetitive motions or excessive strain on a tendon can lead to inflammation and irritation.
Age: As we age, tendons can lose their elasticity and become more susceptible to injury.
Poor posture: Incorrect body mechanics during exercise or daily activities can place excessive strain on tendons, increasing the risk of tendonitis.
Sports and hobbies: Certain sports and hobbies that involve repetitive movements, such as tennis, golf, or gardening, can increase the risk of developing tendonitis.
Underlying medical conditions: Some medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes, can increase the likelihood of tendonitis.
Certain occupations and activities can increase the risk of developing tendonitis, such as gardening, carpentry, and playing certain sports. Identifying these risk factors can be helpful in preventing future occurrences of tendonitis and ensuring a successful recovery.
What Does Tendonitis Feel Like?
Tendonitis can affect people in different ways but typically as a result, the affected area will experience discomfort, pain & general irritation. There are also a few different symptoms you can look out for incase you think you are suffering from tendonitis.
Pain and tenderness at the site of the affected tendon, which may worsen with movement or activity.
Swelling and inflammation.
Stiffness and limited range of motion in the affected joint.

Visit A Physiotherapist for Diagnosis & Treatment Support if Remedial Massage is not helping your pain & tension.
It’s important to understand that often, preventing injuries is highly preferred over rehabilitation of injuries. This is because it is easier to manage soft tissue within the body before injuries occur and once an injury has taken place, a rehab plan & diagnosis is essential. We recommend visiting a Physiotherapist for Diagnosis & Clearance & seeing your massage therapist in tandem.
