“ Imagine How Much Activity You’d Miss Out On If You Didn’t Know How To Prevent An Injuries.” Stay Active & Avoid Injury

Tendonitis Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons from overuse. This can be for a variety of reasons, but typically, that body part is taking the strain due to poor body mechanics. For example, tendonitis in the shoulder or elbow is typically from poor posture of the neck and upper back. This causes an altered movement in the shoulder and arm, increasing strain on the tendons. Physical therapy helps by relieving the inflammation and pain while restoring normal motion and posture. The goal of physical therapy is to get an individual back to the point where she can perform normal, everyday activities without difficulty or risk. Physical therapy can restore functional abilities to those with physical impairments or disabilities and is concerned with promotion of healthy movement, prevention of injury, and rehabilitation of an existing injury. A physical therapist (PT) examines each individual and gets advice from their physician to develop a plan using applicable treatment techniques. Techniques may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy such as soft tissue mobilization, deep massage or myofascial release. PTs also work with people to develop fitness programs to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement, flexibility and functional ability.
