Condition
Tendinitis
Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon, the bands that attach muscles to bones, usually from overuse, repetitive motion, age, or injury. Types include rotator cuff tendinitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, and golfer's elbow. Physical therapists provide exercises and techniques to strengthen the affected tendon and improve flexibility as part of a treatment plan.
