These are twO really good tendOnitis preventiOn techniques:
Warm up properly before activities
Placing a tendon or joint under stress when it is not properly warmed up is the easiest way to develop tendonitis. Warming up should be done before attempting any strenuous activity, this includes manual work like outdoor and factory work. Warming up should consist of light movement and exercising of the area and should take at least 5 minutes.
Stretch the tendon before and after activity
Light stretching is an excellent
tendonitis prevention technique. You should stretch the tendon lightly before and after strenuous activities. Stretches must be held for at least 20 seconds to be effective. When you stretch, hold the stretch in the same position - do not bounce! Bouncing as you stretchputs excess strain on the tendon and may lead to damage.
