What is Tennis Elbow ?
Lateral Epicondylitis is the scientific name for Tennis Elbow. This condition consists of chronic elbow pain on the outside of the arm right next to the forearm. People tend to believe that it is common among tennis players.it is scientifically proven that only 5% of these cases are linked to the sport of Tennis.
This condition is related to the muscles and tendons in your forearm. Since tendons are your connection to most muscles, it causes chronic elbow pain when your arm is used repetitively. There is a muscle called “extensor carpi radialisbrevis” (ECRB) that is located at the end of your elbow. This muscle will develop small tears. You will eventually notice you cannot grip objects and have pain throughout the forearm.
