The pain might make some daily activities and physical activity a little difficult, but there are exercises and stretches you can do to ease the pain and help the affected tendon recover.
Parents of athletic children can protect them from injury by encouraging them to try out a wide variety of sports, a new study says. Repetitive stress from focusing on one sport at a young age increases an athlete's risk of injuries into adulthood, according to a pair of new studies presented this week at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons' annual meeting in New Orleans.

Falls are one of the most common reasons older adults are treated in the emergency department, and many patients are discharged home the same day. That transition can be a vulnerable moment, especially if the factors that led to the fall aren't fully addressed. A new study suggests that emergency departments may be able to take meaningful steps during visits to help older adults stay safer once they return home.

Cheerleading is rising in popularity, with competitive cheer now being recognized as an Olympic sport, possibly leading to an Olympic debut in the near future. These athletes present with issues such as pressure for a quick return, concerns for decreased bone density, and injury patterns unique to these athletes.

Flexibility is the ability of your joints to move through their full range of motion without pain or stiffness. It also refers to the pliability of the muscles that support the joints. Flexible muscles and tendons allow for a greater range of motion during activities.

When playing sports, it's important to remember: Brains don't have seat belts. When rapid acceleration or deceleration of the brain inside the skull occurs with a blow to the head, a concussion happens, which in some cases can lead to lasting impacts on motor and cognitive skills needed to keep athletes at the top of their game.
Running is a widely practiced physical activity with well-established health benefits. However, it is frequently associated with overuse musculoskeletal injuries. Among the modifiable biomechanical variables, increasing cadence, defined as the number of steps per minute, has emerged as a promising target for reducing injury risk by altering impact forces and load distribution. The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate and critically appraise the scientific evidence on the effects of running cadence modification on biomechanics and injury prevention in adult runners.
Regular exercise provides a wide range of benefits, including weight management, improved cardiovascular health and sleep quality. But for many people, common forms of exercise, such as walking, running and weight training, are a struggle due to pain, weakness, mobility issues or fear of falling. Aquatic exercise is an excellent way to focus on fitness in a gravity-reduced environment.
