Repetitive Motion Injuries are among the most common injuries in the United States. Arm pain can be debilitating -- keeping you from doing the things you love. Don't let hand, wrist, elbow or arm pains slow you down. Armaid is a simple, cost-effective treatment designed to keep you at your best at home, work or play.

Because of the twisting and flexing motion in the hand and arm necessary for certain sports, especially golf and baseball, and the grasping motions required in some occupations, you may have tenderness and pain at the tendon attachments at the inside portion of your elbow. This is called Medial Epicondylitis.
(This condition is the result of the underside flexor muscles in the forearm retaining tension after a sports activity or a long day’s work. These muscles then pull on the inside portion of the elbow.
Use both the circulatory and trigger point massage therapies to explore the flexor muscles from the mid-forearm all the way up towards the inside into the elbow, looking for tight and sore muscles.
After you’ve massaged the forearm muscles below the elbow, move the Armaid so the center ball is on the elbow crease as shown here.
In order to best relieve the tendons in the elbow 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.
Also check the triceps muscle by putting Armaid into this position, looking for any soreness as these muscles attach into the elbow. Move the forearm up and down while holding the center ball on any tight spots in the triceps. Continue to find any other sore areas in and around your elbow using this technique. Go slow and only massage for a few minutes at a time, two to three times a day at first. |
