Preventing Tendonitis

These are some great tips that are easy to keep in mind, check them out!

Use proper form and posture
It's important that you use the proper form and posture during work and activities. For example, a tennis player should use proper form when playing a tennis stroke and have the correct racket size for his/her physique. In a job related example, a computer programmer must sit with correct posture and have a ergonomic working environment which includes the right height desk and chair, large monitor and suitable keyboard and mouse.

Ice stiff or sore joints after exercise
Placing ice on a joint or tendon helps reduce heat, swelling and inflammation. If you do apply ice, never apply the ice directly to the area, always wrap the ice in a towel and then apply.

Stay in good shape!
Staying in good shape is proberbly the best tendonitis prevention technique! Regular exercise (with the proper warm-ups and stretching of course) is recommended for individuals of any age. Regular exercise is not only good for your muscles and tendons but is an essential part of living a healthy life.
Preventing tendonitis is much better (and easier) than treating it. If you follow the prevention advice above you are limiting the possibility of developing tendonitis.
