Bursitis
Description
Bursitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between bones and soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and skin. This inflammation is often caused by overuse, repetitive motions, or injury to the affected area. Common sites of bursitis include the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. Bursitis can cause pain, tenderness, and swelling around the affected joint, and may limit movement and activity. However, with proper treatment and management, bursitis is usually a temporary condition that does not cause permanent deformity or damage. Treatment may include rest, ice, compression, elevation, medication, and physical therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Massage therapy can be a helpful treatment for bursitis as it can help to reduce the pain associated with this condition by decreasing swelling and inflammation, promoting circulation, and relaxing muscles surrounding the affected joint. Massage therapy can help to improve overall mobility and flexibility, and can also help to prevent the recurrence of bursitis by promoting healthy movement patterns and reducing stress on the affected area.
