Why did Dr. Jim Heafner PT, DPT, OCS & Dr. Chris Fox PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT write this book?
Tendon overuse injuries are among the leading causes of athletic injuries. Additionally, tendinitis-related injuries alone account for nearly 1 in 10 physician visits each year. This alarmingly high number indicates that consumers are not receiving adequate information on the management of tendinitis. The authors hope this book will add to the body of literature helping people with tendon overuse injuries.
