The bursa which are small fluid filled sacs cushions large tendons & joints which helps prevent friction between the tendon, joint & the bone itself. With the constant rubbing of the tendon over the bone due to repetitive motion of the arm, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle can possibly lead to friction which causes the bursa to be inflammed and irritated which is called bursitis.

Repetitive motion such as throwing a ball, swinging a golf club, working on a production line and even housecleaning can cause bursitis. Bursitis also occurs when there is a compression of the bursa on a regular basis that causes inflamation & irritation.

Obviously the best way to relieve the pain of bursitis is to stop repetitive motion and relieve the compression. Sometimes this is not possible due to one's work or the desire to play certain sports. As we as a society have become more active in our later years the frequency of bursitis has increased substantially.

The key to bursitis pain relief is to keep which at the same time helps reduce the pain and inflammation caused by bursitis.
