Dealing with Tendonitis: Athletes are naturally at an increased risk of experiencing injuries. This is not a result of any particular health issue that athletes typically have in common. Instead, it is a simple exposure equation. The more frequently you push yourself to try new things, to engage in physical activity, or to push yourself to reach a new goal, the more you are going to increase your risk for potential injury. On more days than not, the injury won’t happen, but as every athlete knows, it only takes one bad day — one day when fatigue throws off your form just enough to cause your gait to be off, for you to feel a little distracted and not realize an obstacle is coming up, or just a fluke of a moment inwhich something goes wrong and you go down. What makes matters worse is the fact that many athletes attempt to push past the pain of their initial injuries, which often leads to those injuries becomingmore severe. Working with a physiotherapist is especially important for athletes for this reason. A physiotherapist can help identify potential TENDONITIS & SPORTS
issues with posture or form that may increase your risk for injury, help identify potential injuries as they develop, and assess the severity of and best treatment options for those injuries as soon as possible, so you always know exactly what your body needs to feel at its best. Understanding Tendonitis While there are some sports injuries that happen after a bad day, there are others that develop over time. Tendonitis is an incredibly common issue that causes pain to develop in the joints. This can impact the hips, knees, elbows, or shoulders. Pain caused by tendonitis can impact everyday activities, making it exceedingly difficult to remain comfortable day to day or to remain active.
Tendonitis can make simple activities such as picking up a gallon of milk or attempting to put something away on a shelf over your head incredibly painful and challenging. Unfortunately, when tendonitis develops, it often sticks around. Thismeans that pain that begins as frustrating and seemingly minor can quickly become chronic and incredibly painful. Working with a physiotherapist is the best way to address tendonitis pain early on, to improve range of motion, and reduce the severity of your pain without having to turn to pain medications.

“I had a bad back spasm, which left me with excruciating pain and I had to bend just to be able to walk a few steps. Nicole from Foundation Physiotherapy & Wellness really did an amazing job and made sure I was aware that it isn’t permanent. She helped every step of the way with the right amount of exercises and stretches. After just 1 week, I was back to walking and was back at work.
