The incorrect term was used for so long that people continue to use it so others know what they’re talking about, like me and how I titled this toolkit. Even tiny movements, such as clicking a mouse, can cause tendinosis, when done repeatedly. Tendinosis is a degeneration of the tendon’s collagen in response to chronic overuse when overuse is continued without giving the tendon time to heal and rest, such as with repetitive strain injury, tendinosis results. Tendonitis is still a very common diagnosis, though research increasingly documents that what is thought to be tendonitis is usually tendinosis ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Tendonitis is the inflammation of the tendon and results from micro-tears that happen when the musculotendinous unit is acutely overloaded with a tensile force that is too heavy and/or too sudden. The first thing we should clear up is that what we are calling tendonitis is actually tendinosis. If elbow tendonitis is a subject that has you frustrated, then hopefully this extensive post will lead you to all the answers you seek. I now have more than a half dozen posts on the subject and a best-selling book on Amazon. When I first made my video on elbow tendonitis I thought it was a straightforward subject…get a Flexbar and do 3 sets of 15 reps of the Reverse Tyler Twist each day until healed.īut as the questions poured in I realized there was more I needed to cover. If you’re not feeling better, then it’s a good thing you made that appointment, huh?! If your tendonitis is feeling better, you’ll impress your PT with your proactive approach and they can help speed the healing process along. Chances are, by the time you go to your appointment the Flexbar will have already arrived and you’ll have used it a few times. Then, call your doctor or physical therapist’s office to get an evaluation. Next, take 2 minutes to order the Flexbar.
