ABSTRACT

Ayurveda, meaning "science of life," is an ancient Indian medical system that emphasises the balance of vata, pitta, and kapha for maintaining health. Classical texts by Maharshi Sushruta describe 900 snayus responsible for movement and joint stability. This study relates snayus involved in Tennis Elbow and Achilles Tendonitis, correlating Snayugata vata with modern tendon disorders characterised by pain, stiffness, and restricted movement, highlighting Ayurveda's holistic musculoskeletal approach.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Doshas, Snayu, ligaments, tendons, Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendonitis, Snayugata vata, musculoskeletal disorders, preventive measures.
