Get a QuoteWhat is tendonitis?
Tendonitis is a condition where a tendon becomes inflamed, often due to overuse or injury, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement in the affected area. It affects many people across the UK, particularly those who are active or perform repetitive movements.
Going on holiday with tendonitis can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
Having the right travel insurance in place for tendonitis can help to cover:
- Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
- Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
- Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
- Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons
Travel advice for people with tendonitis
- Plan your activities at a comfortable pace
- Consider using taxis or public transport to reduce strain on the affected area
- Take time to rest if pain or stiffness increases
- Pack any supports or aids you rely on at home
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions - if relevant, you might need to declare tendonitis on your policy.
Getting travel insurance if you have tendonitis is often still possible. The level of cover depends on your diagnosis and current treatment, so take care to give accurate details when you complete the medical declaration.
