Shin splints are commonly associated with sports that require a lot of running or weight bearing activity. However, it is not necessarily the added weight or force applied to the muscles and tendons of the lower leg, but rather the impact force associated with running and weight bearing activities.

 In other words, it’s not the running itself, but the sudden shock force of repeated landings and change of direction that causes the problem. When the muscles and tendons become fatigued  and overloaded, they lose their ability to adequately absorb the damaging shock force. SportsBands™ is the solution by absorbing these impacts, rendering pain free activity!

What Causes Tendinitis?

Repetitive strain and impact is by far the most common cause of tendinitis. Repetitive strain can come in many forms and from many sources. Tendinitis of the elbow, bicep, shoulder and hand is often developed by individuals that work on factory production lines due to the repetitive impact of the work involved. Sports professionals (like golfers, tennis players, football players, basketball players & baseball players) often develop tendinitis from the repetitive impact movements in their sports.
