Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis elbow is most often the result of repetitive activities involving the wrist and/or hand. Excessive use of the wrist/hand can lead to increased stress on the muscles of the forearm. This causes damage to the muscle tendon. Since many muscles of the forearm come from just above the elbow, small tears of the muscle tendon are felt as pain on the outside of the elbow. The resulting pain and discomfort may be felt with everyday activities such as carrying groceries or lifting a jug of milk. The pain may also restrict various work-related tasks and hobbies. Grip strength is often much weaker on the painful side. As the name suggests, tennis elbow can also result from playing racquet sports. As the racquet follows-through after hitting the ball, muscles of the back of the forearm work hard trying to slow the racquet down. Over time this can result in damage to the tendons and pain at the elbow.

How can Physiotherapy help?

Tennis elbow treatment includes physiotherapy as a key component. Registered massage therapy aims to relax stressed muscles. A proper stretching program ensures that muscles are the correct length. Deep friction massage is also often used to break up scar tissue at the elbow. Tennis elbow treatment can include ultrasound and other electric modalities to reduce inflammation and pain. Acupuncture may be used as a treatment option for Tennis elbow. All of these tennis elbow treatments act to speed up healing time. Despite the small size of the forearm muscles, strength training is important. This helps build up muscle resistance and prevent re-injury. Therapeutic forearm bands and taping by physiotherapy professionals can also help to unload sore muscles and relieve pain. This allows a fast return to everyday activities. A full physiotherapy assessment also allows us to rule out more serious problems such as fractures, torn ligaments and nerve damage.

Should you be experiencing elbow pain at any point during your everyday activities, contact our team now to arrange a physiotherapy assessment and let us put you on the road to recovery! Tennis elbow treatment can be fairly quick. Pain can be reduced rapidly with the proper tennis elbow treatment.

Low Back Pain : Massage Therapy

Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain: Massage Therapy
As physiotherapists and registered massage therapists we treat low back pain – a lot. It is by far the most common injury that we see. Stats suggest that almost all of us will have back pain at some point in our lives. It is also the most common cause for missed days at work. But what causes low back pain?

Low Back Pain

The lumbar spine is very complex, therefore what causes low back pain cannot be answered easily. It is critical to have the spine assessed by someone who is trained to determine what structure is sore, and more importantly why. I have listed some of the most common causes of low back pain.

Common Causes of Low Back Pain

1. Disc herniation or bulge: The disc is a shock absorbing structure that sits between each vertebrae or bone of the back. The disc has a hard outside ring around a soft jelly middle. It is often compared to a jelly donut. Pain is produced when this jelly is pushed through the firm outer shell causing a bump in the circular shape. Sciatica or pain radiating down the leg is caused if this bulge hits a nerve.

2. Joint Stiffness: Each of the vertebrae have a joint connecting them to the bone above and below. Like many of the other joints of the body – the ankle, the knee – these joints will swell and become irritated if they are stretched too far or too much work is demanded of them.

3. Muscle Spasm: Often to protect the back, the muscles that run beside the spine will go into spasm. The purpose of this is to splint the back to allow the irritated area to rest. However, often the spasm can be much worse and more limiting than the initial low back pain. Massage Therapy can be very effective at releasing the muscle spasm and helping you to decrease pain.

These are just a few of the causes, and there are many more. If you would like to know the reason for your low back pain and perhaps more importantly how to treat it, call for an appointment with a Physiotherapist or Massage Therapist today!

Stress is another issue that affects us all. It can cause health problems such as headaches, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
