Tendons

Tendons are strong, fibrous connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, enabling movement and stability. They act as connectors that transmit the force generated by muscle contractions to the skeleton, allowing you to perform actions like walking, grabbing, or lifting. Tendons are designed to withstand tension and are made of densely packed collagen fibers, providing durability and flexibility. While they are robust, tendons can sometimes become inflamed or strained due to overuse or injury. Proper care, stretching, and strengthening exercises can help maintain healthy tendons and prevent problems.
