Tennis Elbow
Description
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that causes pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. This condition typically occurs due to repetitive movements of the wrist and arm, which can lead to overloading of the tendons on the outer part of the elbow. Activities such as playing tennis, gripping tools, or typing can all contribute to the development of tennis elbow. The pain associated with this condition can be worsened with forearm activity, and the dominant arm is often more affected than the non-dominant arm. While tennis elbow can be a painful and uncomfortable condition, it is typically treated effectively with rest, physical therapy, and other conservative treatments. Massage therapy can be an effective treatment for tennis elbow by addressing the underlying causes of pain and discomfort in the elbow and wrist. By targeting specific muscles and tendons in the forearm and wrist, massage therapy can help to improve the mobility and flexibility of the elbow and wrist joint, which can help to alleviate pain and reduce the risk of future injury.
