Tendonitis: Understanding the Root Cause
Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon — the fibrous tissue connecting muscle to bone. It develops from repetitive stress, overuse, or acute injury, and can affect any tendon in the body. Common sites include the rotator cuff, elbow (tennis/golfer's elbow), knee (patellar), and Achilles tendon.
Common Causes
- •Repetitive movements at work or in sports
- •Sudden increase in training intensity
- •Poor biomechanics and muscle imbalances
- •Direct injury or trauma to a tendon
- •Age-related tendon degeneration
- •Inflammatory conditions — arthritis, gout
- •Improper technique or equipment
