UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TENDON AND A LIGAMENT

In general, tendons connect muscle to bone, and ligaments connect bone to bone. Read on to learn more about these important differences.

- I had been putting pelvic floor therapy for years. When the dr referreed me to physio, I did my homework. I chose Emerald Hills because of the proximity, hours, and friend recommendations. I am so glad I chose them. Nav is so knowledgeable and has a true interest in what helps. I was never left alone for any thing other than my therapy and she checked my progress regularly.
