It is a good idea to do Tendinitis Exercises before you do any sort of activity that will affect your tendons, especially in hamstrings and the Achilles areas. Tendinitis Exercises should not last over a few minutes at a time, however, they should be done daily. Stretching exercises helps promote a faster recovery, and will increase muscle tension and flexibility. Everyone should practice stretching, strengthening, and cardiovascular exercises on a daily basis. However be very careful not to over do the tendons.
Several ball players add much tension to their hamstrings. The hamstring tendons are on the backside of the leg and run down to the knee joint. Tendons are strong and flexible, however when put they are under strain many tiny tears may develop which can result in inflammation. Certainly, the older one is, the more fragile the tendons become and can get tendonitis.
Even if a person does preventative tendonitis exercises, there is still a possibility that they can injure one or more of their tendons. If you experience a warm or hot feeling, redness, and swelling in the general area of a hamstring or any of the areas around the tendons. You may then have tendonitis. Even some hamstring tendonitis is often mistaken for a grave knee injury. Rest is the best cure for this problem. It will take you nearly four to five weeks of no physical activities to recover. Applying ice to the affected area for about twenty minutes three to four times a day will aid in the healing process. Your doctor may also prescribe you some anti-inflammatory medicine. If you still feel a lot of pain, have your doctor examine you. It is a good idea to always warm up before doing strenuous physical activity, and in same cases, it may be a good idea to wear knee braces.
Some other well-known areas that can get tendonitis are the Achilles or Achilles Heel, which is called the heel cord. The heel cord is the largest and strongest tendon in the entire body. Athletes that play sports that require them to start or stop often and fast often suffer from Achilles tendonitis, such as basketball, baseball, and other games that involve such movements. One must warm up with tendonitis exercises to stop Achilles tendonitis from occurring. This type of tendonitis is not only limited to athletes. People that do not wear the proper footwear can also develop this condition. For example if a woman that wears high heels her Achilles heel cord will become shorter, and when the woman puts on flat footwear, the heel cord must stretch again. A similar comparison can be made with a man changing from his work boots into tennis shoes.
It is almost the same when a man changes from work boots to tennis shoes. Still there are some people that are born with too short of a heel cord. These are more severe cases which can usually be adjusted by a doctor. Stiffness, redness, and swelling are always a sign of tendinitis and can even cause the more damage if they are not attended to. Rest is one of the most important things to do for an injured heel cord. The next important thing is to elevate the injured leg while you are lying down. Be sure to take any anti-inflammatory medicine that has been prescribed to you. - 30453
