What is Tennis Elbow?



Lateral Epicondylopathy, or Tennis Elbow as it is commonly known, is the

term used to describe a painful condition of the outside elbow. This pain

usually occurs as a result of overuse of the tendons in your elbow, from

repetitive motions of the arm and wrist.



The body employs a range of muscles to move the wrist joint, many of

them start at the elbow. When the elbow is straight, the main muscle

which stabilizes the wrist is called the Extensor Carpi Radialis Bravis

(ECRB). Repeated or over-use of the ECRB makes it weaker and may

cause tiny microscopic tears to appear in the tendon at the point of

attachment to the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle). As a result,

you experience pain and tenderness. The location and orientation of the

ECRB, near bony bumps, increases the likelihood of damage from wear

and tear. When the elbow bends and straightens it can cause the muscle

to rub.



There are 3 zones where the ECRB can become injured



    � where the tendon meets the bone

    � where the muscle meets the tendon

    � within the muscle itself



The amount of time it will take you to get better is very much connected

to which zone you have injured. Also, over time, the body often

compensates by using other muscles instead. In the case of the Tennis

Elbow - this is most often the Triceps muscle.



Although Tennis Elbow can occur as a result of a sudden injury it is

usually due to a slow build up of damage to or overload to the muscle and

tendon around the outer elbow region.

Which Muscles May be Affected by Tennis Elbow?

                             TRICEPS LATERAL HEAD

What Are the Symptoms of Tennis Elbow?

In most cases, the pain develops slowly and gradually over weeks and

months in the elbow area. It is less common for the symptoms to occur

suddenly.



The pain can be anything from mild discomfort to severe, and it may

affect your sleep. It will increase when forcibly trying to stabilize or move

the wrist.



Your pain will feel worse when



   � shaking hands

   � using tools

   � gripping objects e.g. cutlery, pen, computer mouse

   � fully extending your arm

   � turning a door knob

   � lifting



Although Tennis Elbow is more likely to occur in your dominant arm, it can

in fact occur in either arm.



Who Is Prone to Tennis Elbow?

Evidence shows that only 1-3% of the population suffers from Tennis

Elbow.



Men between the ages of 30-50, tend to be the most affected. Those who

play tennis or other racquet sports on a regular basis are at a higher risk

(as high as 50%) of developing this condition, however in 95% of cases it

occurs in people who are not tennis players.



Anyone who participates in activities that require repetitive and vigorous

use of the forearm muscle, especially while gripping something, are

TRICEPS BRACHII

TRICEPS BRACHII



Along with its "little helper," anconeus, the triceps brachii assists

deceleration of flexion at the glenohumeral joint and the elbow joint. The

radial nerve can be irritated by contracture or spasm of the lateral aspect

of this muscle.



Myofascial trigger points in this muscle make it difficult to extend the arm

at the elbow. Patients typically complain that they cannot rest their elbow

on any surface, because of the level of sensitivity and pain.



Note Pain from these TrP's can sometimes also be felt in the neck and

upper trapezius.

STRETCHING



Stretching the forearm flexors and extensor muscles enable the muscles

to be more relaxed and therefore reduce the amount of tension created at

the common tendon (the location where the muscle attaches itself to the

elbow bone)



Stretch 1: Extensor stretch (Partner Required)

     1. Below is a stretch you can do with a friend or partner.

     2. Keep the wrist loose and the elbow slightly bent.

     3. Take the hand forwards with gentle increasing pressure until you

        can feel the stretch in the area you worked on.

     4. Hold it for a few breaths. Increase the stretch but do not bounce.

     5. Come away slowly and carefully.

     6. Follow pressure sessions by massaging the area with some cream,

        oil or lotion in the direction of the muscle. You can use warmth or

        heat-rub afterwards.



How Often?



Perform for 2-3 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day for up to six weeks.

Stretch 1: Extensor stretch (Partner Required)



You can ask a partner or friend to help you with this

Stretch 2: Extensor Stretch



                The red indicates the muscle(s) being stretched



Technique

    � Extend arm in front of you with your palm facing upwards

    � Flex the hand so that your fingers point upwards

    � With the opposite arm, pull fingers upwards for maximum stretch



How Often?

3 stretches holding each one for 20-30 seconds, twice daily

EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS BREVIS (ECRB)



The use of kinesiology tape can help provide an accumulated off-

loading effect by lifting the tissue around trigger points. This is generally

recommended for use after and between treatments.
