You can read some suggestions here: http://www.bodybuildingsecretslive.com/rotator-...
However ... Tendonitis can appear nearly in any area where there is joint movement. Elbows are common, shoulders and knees. The same techniques can be applied.

4 months ago I went thru a nasty bout of shoulder tendonitis and applied the same principles AND with the help of a gym partner, he identified the way in which I was putting up the dumbbells to do a shoulder press wasn't correct. Without even thinking, I had one foot on the platform and the other flat on the ground prior to using my knees to kick the weight into position.

Didn't seem like a big deal but essentially I was hammer curling on the right! This slight adjustment to how I was putting the weight into position (comfortable for me but incorrect) made 100% of the difference. Form was the culprit!

Shortly after, my shoulder tendonitis disappeared completely because I stopped doing exercises that bothered it more and I had a second pair of eyes to check out my form. If you can't do this, video tape yourself and you might discover you are doing something ever so slight that would make the problem worse. For me, kicking up the weights into position, just the placement of my right foot prior to doing so was 100% of the problem!

Hey, this is great. You spoke to everything I was feeling with what I believe is tennis elbow.

'V've found my long-lasting tendinitis is beginning to improve by doing the following:
Never repeat an exercise without leaving 3-4 days between i.e. do a 4 split regime.
Always perform the exercise movement without any weight for 2-3 minutes, as a warm-up, before and after performing the exercise proper i.e. warming up and warming down.
Do constant variations of each exercise.
All this avoids repetitive strain injury, the cause of tendinitis.
Anyway it's working for me!

I've got some serious issues with my tendonitis or bursitis in my shoulder. This really limits my upper body workouts. I keep taking time off for it to heal, but I guess I come back to soon. It is a great excuse to get a massage, though!
