Spend 20 minutes per day on mobility for any tissues that feel even minimally restricted. Not sure which exercises to perform? Reach out to your APM physical therapist! Tendinitis can be and often is a nuisance. Don’t let it keep you from moving, though! Focus on your mobility and taking rest days if necessary. In essence, listen to your body!

Hey APM family,
Noah here -- chatting about the most recent changes to life during a pandemic. Gyms have opened, and gyms have closed. Restaurants have changed capacity restrictions, and there seem to be limits everywhere we go in town. Without knowing what the future holds, I have been working out more at home. Due to this, I’ve been a little more limited in my workouts, and in effect, I’ve been overworking certain tissues. Sometimes when

you overwork tissues, specifically a tendon, you can develop persistent, nagging pain. This can turn into tendinitis, and really put a damper on a lot of various activities. For me, I developed tendinitis in my right elbow -- known as tennis elbow -- and in my left knee.
Here are some basic tips for preventing tendinitis:
1. Drink enough water. I recommend at least 120 ounces of water per day. Easy enough for me to say. Sound impossible? Try using reusable water bottles that hold a specific amount of water, and drink enough full bottles in one day to hit the 120-ounce threshold.
