Elbow

Tendons are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue that connect muscle to bone. Fascia, connective tissue comprised of collagen like tendons, is responsible for maintaining structural integrity, providing support and protection, and acting as a shock absorber.

Elbows are engaged in sport activities that involve repetitive motion, such as tennis, rock climbing, and golf. Similarly, activities of daily living, such as plumbing, carpentry, or lifting, also involve repetitive arm movement.
