STRETCHING TENDONITIS: HELPFUL OR HARMFUL

WHAT IS TENDONITIS

Tendonitis is tendon inflammation causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Overuse, injury, or health issues trigger it.

ACUTE VS CHRONIC

Acute tendonitis occurs suddenly from injury. Chronic tendonitis develops slowly from overuse. Knowing the type guides treatment.

SHOULD YOU STRETCH

Stretching can improve flexibility and blood flow but may worsen pain if done too soon or aggressively.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

TYPES OF TENDONITIS

Achilles, patellar, tennis elbow, rotator cuff – each needs specific care. Stretching and rehab differ by type.

WHEN TO STRETCH

Start gentle stretches after acute pain eases. Watch for signs like increased mobility and reduced stiffness.

SAFE STRETCHING TECHNIQUES

Use static and dynamic stretches, hold 15–30 seconds, 2–3 times a day. Avoid bouncing or jerking movements.

ALTERNATIVES TO STRETCHING

Rest, ice, heat, strengthening exercises, and medical treatments can help tendon recovery alongside stretching.

CREATE YOUR RECOVERY PLAN

Combine stretching, strengthening, and proper care. Listen to your body and consult professionals for safe recovery.
