Bursitis

Description:

Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa, the fluid filled sac that protects points of pressure and eases movement of tendons and ligaments over bony angles.

Precautions:

In acute states massage is not recommended and may actually cause more harm than good. Massage will only help after inflammation has subsided.
