Tennis elbow is tendonitis that causes discomfort in the forearms and elbows. It’s typically caused by repeated activities, such as gripping a racquet between the thumb and the first two fingers.
This repetition can put pressure on the muscles, which places too much stress on the tendons in your arm. Eventually, this constant tugging creates microscopic tears in the tissue. Tennis elbow does not just affect tennis players. Although racquet sports are typical causes, other common contributors include typing, painting, and carpentry. Tennis elbow is relatively prevalent among chefs, butchers, and assembly line employees.
The good news is this type of overuse injury doesn’t have any long-term consequences if treated early!
