“Suffering With Chronic Joint Pain?” TENDONITIS & SPORTS
Do you find yourself doing normal everyday tasks like taking milk out of the fridge, lifting something overhead, bending or simply walking a distance, but experience pain with them? Something is not right and having pain with movement, especially if it goes on for more than a few days, may be a symptom of tendonitis. Tendons are thick bands of tissue that connect your muscles to the bones. With excessive strain, tendons get yanked on and become very inflamed. Under
normal circumstances, your tendons do a lot of work and can handle the stress, but when they are over-worked, you feel pain. Tendonitis can occur practically anywhere in the body, but is most common in the hips, knees, wrists, elbows and shoulders. The reason for this is quite simple, usually poor posture over a period of time. If you are at a computer or sitting for a good part of the day, your shoulders tend to slouch forward and your back muscles weaken.

“Your Posture May Contribute To Your Pain.” TREATING TENDONITIS NATURALLY
How’s Your Posture? Poor posture weakens your muscles, which are needed when reaching, lifting, walking and doing normal everyday tasks. The weak muscles and poor posture place abnormal strain on the shoulders, elbows, knees and hip tendons. Therefore, depending on where the greatest strain is, you will most likely experience tendonitis. Tendonitis can be short-lived, but can also last for a long time. Chronic tendonitis actually disintegrates the tendons over time and can possibly lead to tearing. Most people experience tendonitis on a gradual basis. For example, it may start off as just soreness, but over time can become excruciating pain, which affects your ability to do many simple activities. Treatment Tendonitis is very treatable with the right kind of therapy. The specialists at Kerrville Physical Therapy Center have helped thousands of people with tendonitis get back to doing the things they love quickly. Whether your problem is new or old, having a good understanding of the mechanics of your body and identifying the source of the problem leads to a quick recovery.
