- Tendinitis / Tendon Tear – This is due to the inflammation of tendons. Tendons are fibrous bands similar to the ligament, but connect a bone to a muscle
- Meniscus Tear – Meniscus is a cartilage tissue that is like a cushion between the femur (bone from hip to knee) and tibia (bone from knee to the feet). Due to physical activites, this cartilage tissue can get inflamed or even tore.
