Secondary Prevention
Stretching before you exercise, strengthening your muscles and resting when you do repetitive tasks might help prevent bursitis.
To help prevent inflammation or reduce the severity of its recurrence:
- Warm up or stretch before physical activity.
- Strengthen muscles around the joint.
- Take breaks from repetitive tasks often.
- Cushion the affected joint. Use foam for kneeling or elbow pads. Increase the gripping surface of tools with gloves or padding.
- Apply grip tape or an oversized grip to golf clubs.
- Use two hands to hold heavy tools; use a two-handed backhand in tennis.
- Don’t sit still for long periods.
- Practice good posture and position the body properly when going about daily activities.
