Ergonomic and Lifestyle Modification
for Bursitis
Long-term prevention of bursitis recurrence requires systematic modification of the activities, postures, and surfaces that caused the initial condition.
How it works
Eliminates the sustained pressure (prepatellar, olecranon) or repetitive friction (trochanteric, shoulder) that maintains bursal inflammation. Prevents re-accumulation of bursal fluid.
What to watch for
Occupational bursitis (roofers, carpet layers, cleaners) requires specific protective equipment and task modification. Knee pads for kneeling, elbow protection for ground work. Most important for preventing recurrence.
