Tendonitis

Please keep in mind that before treating any condition, including Tendonitis, as TMS or PPD, it is vitally important to consult with your physician in order to rule out any serious medical conditions.

To learn more about TMS and PPD, and to help you figure out if you have it, visit our An Introduction to TMS page and watch the video there. Some more guidance in figuring out if this approach is right for you can be found in the video at the top of our So You Think You Might Have TMS page.

Tendonitis referenced in TMS Books

On page 116 of Healing Back Pain, John Sarno writes "In the group of disorders referred to as tendonitis, the tendon is correctly identified as the offending part but the reason given for the pain is incorrect...It is generally assumed that the painful tendon is inflamed because of overuse. So the treatment is to immobilize and rest the part. Relief is only temporary. Many years ago the suspicion dawned on me that tendonitis (more properly called tendonalgia) might be part of TMS...I put this to the test and, indeed, found that I could get resolution of most tendonalgias. I now consider tendon/ligament to be the third type of tissue involved in TMS."
