deep flexor tendonitis

Tendons and ligaments literally hold us together, as well as our pets and equine companions.  They hold joints together and allow us the flexibility to move in many directions, often taking the impact of many stressful events through their ‘stretching’ ability.  Tendons are off shoots of muscles, connecting the muscle to the bone.  Ligaments are fibrous connections between bones and often bridge joints, helping to provide stability to that region. These structures are important for many reasons, but damage can occur often due of over-straining, leading to months of recovery and in some cases prolonged debilitation…but there are solutions!
