Runners Knee

Runners Knee is a joint pain caused by damage to the inner lining of the knee. This injury occurs when the knee flexes forward or outward due to excessive running and jumping on hard surfaces. The afflicted area of the knee will be very tender and inflamed, with morning stiffness being a common symptom.

Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow is an injury to the tendons in your elbow, which are attached to your muscles by way of a cord-like tissue called fascia. It occurs when you forcefully swing an object with your arm behind your body or when you violently twist your arm while it is straight. If you play tennis, it is common for this injury to occur when you hit the ball too hard or serve too frequently.
