1. Self-Diagnosis of Elbow Pain

If you experience the following discomforts, your elbow tendon might be progressively damaged:

• Sharp pain on the outer elbow when carrying a grocery basket or turning a doorknob.
• Intense pain when pressing the bony prominence on the outer side of the elbow.
• Pain radiates around the elbow when clenching your fist or extending your wrist upward.
• Difficulty with twisting motions like wringing a towel or using a screwdriver.

2. Mechanism: Why does it keep recurring?

Elbow pain is not just about the elbow. Prolonged wrist usage and misalignment of the neck and shoulders accelerate the load on the elbow.

• Chronic Adhesion: Repetitive inflammation causes the tendon to harden and adhere to the bone, making recovery slow as blood flow is restricted.
• Upper Body Chain: A hunched back and rounded shoulders pre-stretch the elbow muscles. Using your arms in this state makes the tendons prone to tearing.

3. Bodyall's Total Care Solution

Bodyall Clinic directly loosens hardened tendons and creates a physical environment where the elbow can rest comfortably.

4. Bodyall Guide to Prevent Recurrence

• Wrist Extensor Stretch: Extend the painful arm forward, then use the opposite hand to gently press the back of the hand toward your body to stretch the outer elbow.
• Concurrent Cervical Stretch: To reduce elbow load, frequently interlock your hands behind your neck, open your chest, and tilt your head back to maintain upper body alignment.
