Are you experiencing elbow pain when you are doing weight? Typing on the computer? Using your mouse or gripping objects? If yes, we’ll stay tuned because in this video I’ll tell you why you are having this problem and how to go about fixing it!
Experiencing pain on your elbow? If you are experiencing pain inside the elbow, it’s call Golfer’s Elbow and if you are experience pain outside the elbow, it’s call Tennis Elbow
Tennis Elbow
Golfer’s Elbow
Common aggravating factors for these problems are things like
- Painful while gripping when doing workout in the gym
- Painful when opening a jar bottle
- Painful while brushing your teeth
- Painful while typing/using your mouse
- Painful while carrying/ lifting heavy objects
This has nothing to do with your elbow joint and everything to do with your grip strength.
Exercise
- Ice and anti inflammatory
- Brace when doing aggravating activities
- Reduce aggravating activities for 1-2 weeks
- Check biomechanics when doing weight lifting (is your shoulder stabilising properly? Is your wrist stabilising the weight properly? All these if not stabilised properly will cause increase in load on your elbow
Keeping in mind these exercises are of general nature and do not take your injuries/history into consideration.
