Just a question...when you guys say tendonitis, what tendon are you all talking about....
Oh and by the way, unless your injury is REALLY acute very, few injuries present as "tendonitis" anymore. If your health provider diagnoses you with "tendonitis" and tells you to just rest...run out of that clinic real fast.
There are many ways to treat tendinopathy, tendinosis, tenosynovitis, etc...find a good sport practitioner who'll take the time to explain each and treat you accordingly...
If youre in the TO area, feel free to ask. I'll be more than happy to recommend a few.
Sorry, I may sound like Im sweating the small stuff but when patients are paying big bucks for treatment, it really pisses me off when they dont get the attention they deserve..let alone get any better.
