As we’ve discussed in the introduction, muscles are attached to bones by tendons. When muscles are overworked they chronically pull on the tendon attachments causing irritation at those attachment points. This may cause inflammation, tenderness, pain, weakness and stiffness. If the tendon is inflamed, use ice packs several times a day to relieve the initial swelling and rest from activity. Begin gently using a softer attachment in the muscle, not at the tendon, to relieve the muscle’s built up tension and to increase range of motion. Build up to the harder attachments as pain and swelling subside.
Armaid is designed to find the muscles that hold the constant tension that effects those tendon attachments.
Explore all the areas of the arm to find which muscles may be responsible for the pain and problems at the wrist, hand and elbow.
