Thermomedic Therapy Garments Can Help Prevent Painful Tendonitis. What is Tendonitis? Tendonitis (or tendinitis) is inflammation of the tendon. If the normal, smooth gliding motion of your tendon is impaired, for one of a variety of reasons, then the tendon can become inflamed, making movement painful. When inflamed, the action of using the associated muscle can become irritating. Thermomedic Therapy Braces and compression garments offer the dual therapeutic value of mild compression and the soothing warmth of bio-ceramic earth minerals to ease inflamed tendonitis. What Are Tendons? Tendons are tough, flexible bands of fibrous tissue which connects the muscles to the bones in your body. These skeletal muscles are responsible for moving your bones which enable you to walk, run and play sport. Bones move when a muscle in your body contracts. Tendons are the structure that transmits the force of these muscle contractions to the bone. Tendons come in different shapes and sizes. Some tendons are very small, such as the ones that allow you to move your fingers, while others are much larger, for example, the Achilles tendon in the heel of your foot. When healthy, these tendons are able to glide easily and smoothly as the muscle contracts. What Causes Tendonitis? The most common cause of tendonitis is overuse. If you begin a new exercise program, or suddenly increase your level of exercise or physical work-load you may begin to experience symptoms of tendonitis. This new level of physical exertion can cause inflammation or tendonitis. Age-related changes to the tendon is another common cause of tendonitis. As we age, our tendons loose their elasticity and hence the ability to glide smoothly. What causes these age-related changes is not entirely understood by doctors, but they may be due to changes in the blood vessels that supply nutrition to the tendons. In some instances, there may be an anatomical cause for tendonitis. Thermomedic Therapy Garments can assist to relieve the pain of tendonitis while providing soothing, supportive comfort to inflamed areas. How Can Thermomedic Therapy Garments Help Prevent Tendonitis? The excellent thermal qualities of Thermomedic far infrared textiles assist to gently and safely warm and stretch vulnerable tendons and muscles, therefore reducing the risk of strain and damage during physical activity. Far infrared thermal energy is the soothing warmth you feel on your skin when you step out into the sun. Not to be confused with ultra violet, FIR does not cause sun damage, age spots or melanoma. Thermomedic Therapy Garments provide effective medium level compression to limbs, ankles and joints making them ideal sporting aids for athletes of all disciplines during their vital warm-up and cooling-down sessions. The four way stretch knee, elbow, wrist and ankle braces gently support joints, tendons and muscles to enhance the body's natural ability to build and aid the recovery of muscle tissue. Stretching those muscles that were particularly active during physical activity helps them to relax. Research shows stretching is highly effective after exercise when your muscles and other tissues are warm and flexible. Thermomedic Therapy Gloves Therapy Socks and Sports Supports help athletes of all ability levels maintain and improve their overall muscle and joint flexibility. It is the gentle, warming support provided by Thermomedic Therapy Garments that significantly helps reduce the risk of tendinitis.
