There are a number of activities that can cause tennis elbow also known as lateral epicondylitis. It’s most often caused by gripping tools or using sports equipment on a repetitive basis.
Tennis Elbow is the result of extensor muscles that aren’t stretched or relieved of tension after a long day’s work or sports activity. These muscles then pull on their tendons at the topside of the elbow.
Use both the circulatory and trigger point massage therapies to explore the muscles from mid-forearm all the way up towards the elbow, looking for tight and sore muscles.
After you’ve massaged the forearm muscles below the elbow, move the attachment, putting the center ball directly on the elbow crease as shown here.
In order to best relieve the tendons in this area, place the center ball on a sore spot at the elbow and move your entire forearm up and down as you hold the sore spot with Armaid. Repeat this technique at each elbow joint sore spot you discover.
Also check the biceps muscle by putting Armaid in this position, looking for any soreness as these muscles attach into the elbow area. Move the forearm up and down while holding the center ball on any tight spots in the biceps.
Continue to find any other sore areas in and around your elbow using this technique. Go slow and only use Armaid for a few minutes at a time, two to three times a day at first.
