BURSITIS
PREVENTION |

|
Aggravating factors should be eliminated
to prevent bursitis. Overexercising or the repetition of a movement
that triggers the condition should be avoided. Doing exercises to
strengthen the muscles around the joint will also help. When doing
repetitive tasks, frequent breaks should be taken and the activity
should be alternated with others using different parts of the body.
To cushion the joints, it is a good idea to use cushioned chairs
when sitting and foam kneeling pads for the knees. Leaning on the
elbows, kneeling or sitting on a hard surface for a long period of
time should be avoided. Not wearing high heels can help prevent
bursitis in the heel, as can changing to new running shoes as soon
as the old ones are worn out. |
