This one is about about elbow pain. You’ve got your “tennis elbow,” your “golfers elbow,” a lot of different elbow problems. The big thing that is happening here is that there is a lot of muscle attachments that are coming in at the elbow. The thing you can do is get those muscles to loosen up. Here is a little anatomy lesson. The inside, or medial, side of my elbow, this is where all the muscles that flex the hand and fingers attach to. So what you can do is flex the wrist, apply pressure to that side, and then slowly extend the wrist to get a good stretch. Same concept on the other side, or lateral side, but now these are the muscles that extend the wrist and fingers. On this side, extend the wrist and put pressure on the outside of the arm, and slowly flex the wrist getting a good stretch on the outside of the elbow and forearm. The reasoning for the stretching is because you do a lot of work with flexing and extending the hand and fingers, and you do it over and over again as a repetitive injury. This tension will pull on the bone itself and then the bone feels like the painful area. Give that a shot, stretch out those muscles and get it moving. Thanks for watching.
