angelique2311

For starters; the condition known as Tennis Elbow doesn't actually have anything to do tennis.

In fact, as surprising as it may sound to some; but most tennis elbow injury stricken individuals may not have been anywhere near a tennis racket ever since their schooling days.

Moreover, this condition is also referred to by another name - Lateral Epicondylitis. And it involves experiencing pain around the outer part of the elbow, right around the upper part of your forearm.

The pain is typically experienced when someone lifts their arm or for that matter even bends it. That makes it very difficult for them to hold, twist, grip or even perform otherwise easy chores such as opening jars, rotating handles or even gripping pens/pencils.

In words of specialists offering remedial massage treatment in Tullamarine -

This injury takes place due to repetitive actions or over-doing certain activities such as computer work, riding, driving, craft, sports, use of smart devices and so on! And if left unattended, eventually it will take the shape of a serious long-term injury.



Its Common Symptoms

  • Painful sensation in the forearm muscles

  • Sensing pain whenever grasping, gripping or grabbing something

  • Experiencing restricted movements in the elbow joint

  • Pain and tenderness on the exterior part of your elbow
