Athletes are naturally at an increased risk for experiencing injuries. This is not as a result of any particular health issue that athletes typically have in common. Instead, it is a simple exposure equation. The more frequentlyyoupushyourselftotrynew things,toengage inphysicalactivity,or to push yourself to reach a new goal, themoreyouaregoingto increaseyour 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 amoment in which 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 becoming more severe. Working with a physical therapist is especially important for athletes for this reason. A physical therapist can help identify potential issues with postureorformthatmay increaseyour risk for injury, help identify potential

Understanding tendinitis. While there are some sports injuries that happen after a bad day, there are others that develop over time. Tendinitis 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 tendinitis can impacteverydayactivities,making it exceedingly difficult to remain comfortable day to day or to remain active.

What Is Tendinitis? Tendinitis is a common issue among athletes because it develops as a resultofoveruse.Whiletheaveragepersonmayengage instandardphysical tasks such as walking or typing, an athlete takes that repetitive behavior to a new level. Consider a tennis player, for example. In addition to running and jumping, a skilled tennis player will spend hours every week swinging the racket, and this could result in added wear and tear on the elbows and wrists, not to mention the shoulders. Everybone inthebody isconnectedwithmuscularfiberscalledtendons.The tendons are flexible, allowing the body tomovemore freely by letting bones stretch apart or move in one direction or another. Tendinitis occurs when the tendonsbecome inflamed.Swelling in the tendonscanmakemovement painful and difficult. If not treated over time a tendon can degrade, weaken, and tear more easily, turning a minor irritation into a very difficult situation. Typically, when pain is caused as a result of tendinitis, the pain is isolated at thenotedareasof thebody.Thismeans thata tennis player mayexperience tendinitis in the elbow or shoulder, whereas a runner may be more likely to experience it in the Achilles tendon. In fact, this is why tendinitis in the elbow is frequently referred to as tennis elbow, while Achilles tendinitis is sometimes referred to as runner’s ankles or runner’s heels. Treating tendinitis. The best treatment for tendinitis is time. Unfortunately, this is something that many people are unable to give to an injury. When tendinitis develops, the best thing to do is to use ice and to relax that part of the body.Taking a few days off of practice or away from your workout may be sufficient, but in other cases, thismay require a few days in a wheelchair or on crutches, with the bulk of your weight off of the affected area. Working with a physical therapist can help you identify the best treatment methods for tendinitis. Your physical therapist can also help you identify the best range of motion and strength-building activities to reduce your likelihood of developing tendinitis.
