Sunday I was getting ready to leave my house for class. I had my keys in my hand and was reaching for my dance bag when I realized I didn't feel well. Although I'd been looking forward to class with this instructor, I decided I could just as easily take a class the next day when I was feeling better.
Somehow it's been almost ten weeks since I updated this blog.
After consulting some pain management specialists and researching on the 'net, I've come to the conclusion that there are at least two causes of tendinitis. One is a weakness in the tendon and/or attachment, for which strengthening exercises are an appropriate treatment. Another is excessive tightness in the muscles attaching to the tendons which causes excessive strain on the tendons when the joint flexes.
