Adhesive capsulitis can occur even after a minor trauma, and sometimes arises spontaneously. Symptoms include pain in the shoulder when supporting weight and difficulty lifting and rotating the arm. Disorders of the rotator cuff include inflammation involving one or more of the four tendons of the shoulder rotator muscles. This pathology is caused by excessive strain which, if repeated, can lead to permanent damage of the cuff.

Insertional tendinopathy of the elbow is a pathology of inflammatory-degenerative tendons due to overuse of four muscles: extensors of the hand, the hand flexors, biceps and triceps brachii. Known by the names of epicondylitis and epitrochleitis ( tennis or golfer's elbow).

Tendonopathy of the wrist and hand: an inflammation or degeneration of the tendon may occur in various areas of the wrist and hand. Its cause is generally sports and work that overloads the areas. Pain during movement is the predominant symptom.

Tendonopathy of the pelvis relates to the many muscles leading to the iliac, ischial and pubic bones. The cause is usually overuse or repeated micro trauma. It causes localized pain in the pubic region and radiates along the front and middle thigh area.

Periarthritis of the hip is a common cause of hip pain, often including a number of pathologies sometimes difficult to distinguish between them, including trochanteric bursitis, tendinitis of the gluteal muscles and the tensor fasciae latae muscle.

Meniscal lesions: a violent rotation of the femur on the tibia when the knee is semi flexed is the most common type of injury. Sometimes the meniscus does not fracture, but "frays" as a result of wear. Ligament injuries are usually the result of trauma, torsion of the knee, which strain the capsular and ligamentous structures beyond their limits. Common in sports or as a consequence of accidents of various types.

Achilles tendinopathy: the liquid-filled sac designed to reduce friction between bone and tendon during movement may be subject to irritation from nearby tendon inflammation. Plantar fasciitis is an irritation of the thick fibrous web on the sole of the foot. It predominantly affects runners and amateur tennis players over the age of forty.
