Physiotherapy for Tendonitis

Tendonitis is a condition in which the tissue connecting muscle to bone becomes inflamed. Physiotherapy is an effective treatment for tendonitis. We have tendons in our bodies and they perform the function of connecting the muscles to the bones. Tendonitis is as a result of a tendon being inflamed from overuse, injury, infection, or autoimmune disease. Most athletes are predisposed to tendonitis

Signs and symptoms of Tendonnitis: Some of the signs and symbols of tendonitis include but not limited to the following :

• Swelling and pain of the joint/tendon
• Reduced range of motion
• Minor or major injuries to site
• Overuse injury of joint/tendon
• Incorrect posture
• Infections
• Inappropriate stretching

The Physiotherapy Objectives in Attending to Cases of Tendonitis are :

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. In the hands of a well-trained physiotherapist such as we have at Effective Physiotherapy & Fitness Clinic, Abuja, patients can dramatically reduce symptoms of pain and inflammation when applied in conjunction with first line remedies.
