If you have ever suffered from tennis elbow, you know that it does not take long for a dull ache to evolve into severely limited motion. With this particular injury involving the inflammation of tendons and muscles attached to the outside of the elbow and forearm, it is not just tennis players that encounter this problematic issue.
In fact, tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a common concern for anyone whose job involves repetitive actions with the wrist and arm. Impacting everyone from plumbers and painters to cleaners and cooks, this injury is one that you want to be especially careful with as it can severely limit your ability to work.
Fortunately, remedial massage is one of the best ways to treat tennis elbow.
How Remedial Massage Can Help Tennis Elbow?
Using a technique known as Soft Tissue Release (STR), remedial massage is effective for treating tennis elbow. As the muscle fibres around the injury can become damaged or tangled, leading to tightness and pain, STR assists to release pressure and reduce the level of inflammation.
Unfortunately, it is common for people who experience tennis elbow to eventually reinjure themselves. However, regular massage treatment and caution about how you go about your day will bolster the tissue and help avoid future pain.
With this technique boosting blood supply to the impacted area, remedial massage can also reduce the recovery time required and improve functionality. Alongside plenty of rest and utilising some helpful stretches, overcoming your injury and getting back to what you do best is made possible.
