Wherever two bone ends meet to form a joint, it is surrounded by a fibrous joint capsule that envelopes the bone ends and helps keep the joint well aligned and moving smoothly. 

If you have capsulitis, it means that the capsule surrounding one of your joints has been damaged and inflammation has resulted. This can compromise the function of the joint, and you can become vulnerable to joint dislocations, injury to the structures surrounding the joints, and a great deal of pain.

You have small cushion-like structures called bursae or ‘a bursa’ (singular) all around your body – over 150 of them! Bursae provide a cushioning and smooth gliding surface between two structures in the body, like our tendons and bones. 

Picture the tendons and muscles that constantly move when you bend and straighten your knee. If they were to regularly rub against one another, they’d quickly become sore – and make activities like running or even walking long distances almost impossible without severe pain. Thankfully, the bursae that sit between the structure and instead cushion and lubricate them, supporting their healthy and pain-free function.

Every muscle in your lower leg is positioned within one of four ‘compartments’. Each compartment is enclosed by a connective tissue (fascia) sheath – just picture how the flesh of a mandarin is enclosed to form pieces – it’s a similar principle. Keeping your muscles grouped within these compartments, along with nerves and blood vessels, not only helps keep the structures in the right place but also optimises your movement as many of these muscles will work together.  

Unfortunately, when events like muscle swelling or bleeding occur within the compartment, there is little extra room for expansion, resulting in increased pressure within the compartment. This pressure doesn’t just cause pain and discomfort but can compress the nerves and blood vessels, leading to a series of problems. This is compartment syndrome.
