🦵💥 Struggling with Tendinopathy? Here's What You Need to Know!
Tendinopathy, often referred to as "tendonitis," is a common overuse injury affecting the tendons, often seen in athletes or active individuals. It causes pain, swelling, and stiffness, making daily activities difficult.
💡 Key Points:
Tendinopathy often results from repetitive strain or overuse injury, simply doing too much, too soon, too fast. Poor technique or inappropriate footwear can also cause problems.
Common areas: Achilles tendon, plantar fascia (under your foot), patella tendon (below your knee cap), rotator cuff tendons (in your shoulder), and tennis and golfers elbow.
Rest is important, but structured rehab exercises are key to recovery.
The earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the better the outcomes.
