As spring sports ramp up, we see a big increase in tendon-related injuries.
Some of the most common include:
๐น Patellar tendon irritation (knee pain)
๐น Achilles tendon pain (heel/ankle)
๐น Shoulder tendinitis (throwing athletes)
Why are tendon injuries so common โ and why do they linger?

Without proper care, these issues can stick around and even worsen over time.
