TENNIS ELBOW

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition in which the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender due to overuse or repetitive strain. Massage therapy can be helpful in treating tennis elbow by reducing muscle tension and inflammation, increasing blood flow to the affected area, and improving range of motion. Here are some massage treatments that may be beneficial:

Deep Tissue Massage: This type of massage uses slow, deep pressure to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It can help release tension in the forearm muscles that attach to the elbow, which can contribute to tennis elbow.

Trigger Point Therapy: This technique involves applying pressure to specific points in the muscle to release tension and alleviate pain. Trigger points can develop in the forearm muscles due to overuse or repetitive strain, contributing to tennis elbow.

Myofascial Release: This technique involves applying sustained pressure to the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles, known as fascia. It can help release tension and improve mobility in the forearm muscles that attach to the elbow.

Cross Fiber Friction Massage: This technique involves applying deep pressure to the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow. It can help break up scar tissue and adhesions in the tendons, which can contribute to tennis elbow.
