Physiotherapy for Tendonitis

Physiotherapy is an effective treatment for tendonitis. Tendons connect muscle to bone. Tendonitis is a result of a tendon being inflamed from overuse, injury, infection, or autoimmune disease.

Causes

Where does Tendonitis commonly occur

Like other forms of inflammation, the main objective is to reduce irritation to the tendon. Common first line remedies include rest, ice, stretching, and topical/oral NSAID use. When symptoms continue, physiotherapy can be a very beneficial modality in reducing irritation to the ligament.

Physiotherapy Treatments

In the hands of a well-trained physiotherapist, patients can dramatically reduce symptoms of pain and inflammation when applied in conjunction with first line remedies.
