Bursitis

A bursa (bursa) is designed to reduce friction during movement. You find these structures where muscles or tendons slide over bones, such as in the shoulder, hip, knee and elbow. Overuse, repeated movements or incorrect postures can cause the bursa to inflame. A bursitis (also known as bursitis) often causes a stabbing or nagging pain, swelling and restriction in your range of motion.

The cause of bursitis often lies in overuse from work or sport, a fall or prolonged pressure on a joint. In some cases, it can also occur as a result of incorrect posture or in combination with other tendon or muscle complaints. The most common form is bursitis in the shoulder, but we also see it regularly in the hip, knee or elbow.

At Fysio Fitaal, we always tailor the treatment of bursitis to your situation, symptoms and goals. Treatment focuses on reducing pain, improving joint mobility and preventing recurrent strain.

A common question is how best to treat bursitis in the shoulder. Through a combination of physiotherapy techniques such as mobilisations, dry needling, exercise therapy and postural advice, we can address the inflammation and restore your function. In some cases, we use ultrasound to properly assess the severity and exact location of the inflammation. This ensures that we can provide highly targeted treatment.

At Fysio Fitaal, we have extensive experience in treating bursas in shoulder, hip and other joints. Our therapists work according to the latest scientific insights and take the time to address not only the complaint, but also the underlying cause of bursitis. That means we look beyond just the pain spot.

Successful treatment requires more than rest alone. We guide you in building up load capacity in a controlled way, improving muscle balance and optimising movement patterns around the affected joint. This way, we reduce the risk of recurring complaints and build sustainable recovery together.

Fysio Fitaal is the place for effective and professional treatment of bursitis in the shoulder or other joints. Thanks to our modern facilities, specialist knowledge of tendon and overuse injuries, and the use of ultrasound, we can zoom in on exactly what your recovery needs. Moreover, our therapists work closely together, so we can always offer a well-thought-out treatment plan even for more complex complaints.

We do not use ultrasound as standard for every complaint, but we do if we suspect bursitis. This allows us to substantiate the diagnosis and optimise treatment. This avoids unnecessary treatments and speeds up your recovery.
