ELBOW
Tennis elbow
Tennis elbow (often called lateral elbow tendinopathy) involves the tendons used to extend the wrist and can cause pain and tenderness around the outer elbow, especially with gripping or lifting.
Picture This
You pick up a new hobby that involves gripping and lifting for an hour every night. A few weeks later, the outside of your elbow hurts when you grip. What changed in your weekly workload?
ELBOW MOTIVATION“Let’s give your elbows a little elbow room.”Keep them moving — don’t let a little pain put you on the sidelines.
Why it can happenRepeated forearm motions can progressively stress the tendon and surrounding tissues.
Rehab focusAAOS describes stretching and strengthening of the involved muscles/tendons to build endurance and resistance to repetitive stress.
◎ Example: progressive wrist/forearm strengthening
