If you do sports that raise your risk of elbow or wrist injuries, then this article is right for you. However, it's certainly helpful for anyone who wants to avoid unnecessary strains. Here are some suggestions for stretches and massage techniques that can help. By working out your forearm muscles you can improve strength and flexibility, however, fatigue and overuse can create tress in the tendons in your forearms, causing pain and inflammation.
By keeping muscles limber, they are able to bear a heavier load and resist stronger impacts. A good example is the famous “tennis elbowâ€, which is an inflammation of the tendons attached to the lateral part of the elbow. To keep healthy muscles hold your arm outstretched at a 45 degree angle in front of you and flex your wrist downwards, simultaneously massage down your forearm from your elbow.
