Wrist Tendonitis Syndrome, more commonly referred to as tenosynovitis, is a common musculoskeletal medical condition suffered by many throughout the world. It’s typically caused by inflammation of the tendons which surround the wrist joint, although more recent studies have shown that the primary cause of wrist tendonitis is tissue damage due to collagen degeneration.

Lifestyle factor
The biggest lifestyle factor is overuse and overexertion of the wrist, whether that may be through excessive exercise routines or use of poor equipment. Those that do not give themselves the proper time to recover from training sessions or do not conduct sufficient warm-ups before exercise also have a greater risk of developing wrist tendonitis. Genetics may also play a part. Those born with a weaker wrist muscles or tendons may find themselves more predisposed to developing wrist tendonitis. And the same can be said for those with a history of past wrist injuries which weaken the surrounding tendons.
