Tendonitis Prevention Techniques

Strengthen tendons with resistance training
It is possible to make your joints and tendons stronger with resistance training. Light weight training, about 3 times per week, can improve both your muscle and tendon strength considerably. You should train each muscle group with 1-2 exercises. Each exercise consists of 3 sets of 20 repetitions.
If you feel a pain in your tendons or joint, stop the activityIf you start to feel light pain around your tendons around joints it could be a sign that they're under too much pressure and tendonitis is going to develop. You could feel this pain when your tendons are under pressure. In most cases resting (even for short periods) will let your tendons heal very quickly.

Take frequent rest breaks
A good tendonitis prevention measure to take if you 're at risk of developing tendonitis in your workplace is to take frequent rest breaks. Rest breaks give your tendons a rest from repeated straining. Frequent rest breaks are recommended for computer operators, factory production line workers, manual laborers and any other job that requires repeated joint movements.

Brace the area for additional support
Braces are available for any area of the body where tendonitis occurs. Braces give the area extra support and warmth. Common types of braces include wrist, knee, elbow and ankle braces.

Choose footwear that best suits the activity
This tendonitis prevention technique only applies to tendonitis of the achilles, ankle and kness. It's very important to choose the correct footwear for the activitiy. For example, tennis shoes are great for tennis but do not have the support required for jogging. The same can be said for jogging shoes that would not be suitable for tennis.
