The Ultimate Guide to Tennis Elbow Pain Relief: How Massage Therapy Can Help
If you’re struggling with persistent elbow pain, especially after repetitive motions like typing, lifting, or playing sports, you might be dealing with tennis elbow. The good news? Massage therapy offers a natural, drug-free solution that can significantly reduce pain and restore function.
At Massage WELL4U RMT Clinic in Scarborough, our Registered Massage Therapists specialize in treating repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow, helping clients return to pain-free living.
? What is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a repetitive strain injury that affects the tendons on the outside of your elbow. Despite the name, it’s not exclusive to tennis players—anyone who performs repetitive arm or wrist motions can develop it.
Common causes include:
Repetitive use of hand tools
Typing or computer use
Lifting heavy objects
Racquet sports like tennis or badminton
??Symptoms of Tennis Elbow
Pain or burning on the outer elbow
Weak grip strength
Pain worsens with wrist movement or lifting
Stiffness in the morning or after inactivity
???? How Massage Therapy Can Help Tennis Elbow
Massage therapy helps in multiple ways:
? 1. Reduces Muscle Tension
Targeted massage techniques relax the muscles and fascia in the forearm, improving circulation and releasing tightness around the elbow joint.
? 2. Breaks Down Scar Tissue
Chronic inflammation can lead to scar tissue buildup. Deep tissue massage and myofascial release techniques help break down adhesions, improving mobility and reducing pain.
? 3. Improves Range of Motion
By loosening tight muscles and promoting blood flow, massage therapy restores flexibility and movement in the wrist, elbow, and shoulder.
? 4. Speeds Up Healing
Massage boosts circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissues and promoting faster healing.
