Yoga can be practiced for goosefoot tendonitis. Yoga practice first helps relax overused muscles, then aids in the recovery of muscle fibers, and finally helps build muscle strength, relieve pain, and prevent re-injury. However, patients should ensure adequate rest, as tendinitis is generally caused by prolonged friction leading to swelling and damage.
