What is bursitis?
Bursitis = inflammation of a bursa — a small, fluid-filled sac that cushions your joints.
When a bursa gets irritated (from overuse, pressure, or injury), it can swell and cause:
🟠 Pain
🟠 Swelling
🟠 Stiffness
🟠 Tenderness around the joint
Common areas? Shoulder, hip, elbow, and knee.
It often feels worse with movement or pressure (think: leaning on your elbow or lying on your side).
✅ The good news? With the right movement, load management, and sometimes manual therapy — it can heal and stay away.
