Tendonitis
a repetitive stress type of injury
Tendonitis is an overuse, repetitive stress type of injury. It is an inflammation and irritation to the tendon which is overused during physical activity. The tendon is the attachment from the muscle to the bone and it is through this and the muscle tissue that movement occurs.
Common tendonitis areas are found in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle. The condition can become painful from repetitive use and movement, and easily become chronic because we move our bodies all day.
