Physical Therapy for
Bursitis
Bursas are small, fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions between muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. Occasionally they can become inflamed if excessive repetitive motion, strain or impingement occur around the site. Some of the most common areas to get bursitis are the hip, shoulder, buttocks, groin or anterior thigh. Physical therapy treatment may include ultrasound, patient education to understand body mechanics, movements and habits that provoke symptoms, stretching and strengthening muscles to correct imbalances between opposing muscle groups and pain management techniques.
