Effective Tennis Elbow Treatment
My school’s tennis season is coming up and i’m sure i’ll make varsity, but how should I start getting ready for the season? Im pretty sure i’m out of shape since I didn’t join any winter sports, and all i’ve eaten was fastfood and junkfood. I’ve also started driving so I hardly walk nowadays. How should I start getting ready? Any tips on exercises or routines I should do? Forearm preparation tips?
It’s not uncommon for tennis players to express their concern about developing tennis elbow as a result of playing too much tennis. For those of you who enjoy the game of tennis, there is a chance you may have encountered the dreaded tennis elbow at some point during the tennis season It can hamper your game and even end your season prematurely, depending on the severity.
Tennis elbow, or medically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition encountered not only by those who enjoy playing tennis for which is it known, but also by anyone whose daily activities involve repetitive extension of the wrist (the position of your wrist when doing push-ups), such as kayakers, paddlers carpenters, chefs and most other people who are engaged in manual labor jobs.
It is caused by irritation, inflammation and small tears of the tendons in the extensor muscles of your forearm where the tendon attaches to the bone. This outermost area of the elbow becomes quite tender too the touch If you are a tennis player who loves to hit strong and powerful backhands, in which you whip the racket around with great speed, it is easy to understand why this might affect you.
While it may become a fairly debilitating condition, it also can be managed without a visit to your doctor if caught early enough. Icing 15 to 20 minutes two times a day may help with pain and inflammation, anti-inflammatories can be beneficial only in the short term, as long term use of anti-inflammatories can be dangerous to your health.
Controlled, specific exercises of the forearm muscles every other day and sometimes before light activity may be helpful in prevention. Strengthening of the forearm muscles through regular wrist extension and flexion exercises with added weight resistance can also help relieve tennis elbow pain.

it almost feels like tennis elbow, or at least how it is described, but it hurts when i swing, or just move it up and down. should i wear a brace for a while and see if that helps?
heres the thing. this is my major tennis season, and i cant stop, if i stop i wont get scholarships for tennis for college. i took aleve before practice today and it helped and i got a brace. will it help it at all? i also talked to the nurse at school who suggested the brace
