15.01.2022 Tennis Elbow - Eccentric vs Concentric Exercises . Once pain has settled and we’re past the acute phase of your condition, strength training for the elbow can begin. Strength training in tennis elbow, otherwise known as lateral epicondylitis, is important for recovery, with research showing that those who do strengthening exercises, have (1) 1. Significantly reduced pain after 1 month 2. Improved strength of forearm muscle ... 3. Improved tendon structure and reduced thickness 4. Increased improvement in function . To strengthen your elbow you can use eccentric or concentric exercises. 1. Eccentric exercises involve lengthening the muscle while it is under load 2. Concentric exercises involve shortening the muscle to generate force . Eccentric exercises have been shown to be superior in reducing pain and improving strength (2), however a mix of both is important depending on what your end goal is. . It’s important to note that these exercises have the potential to make your condition worse. We recommend you have a consult with a Physio before starting this phase of rehab. .

15.01.2022 Tennis Elbow - Should we just rest it? . Tennis Elbow (aka lateral epicondylalgia) is an overuse condition of the elbow. It is associated with pain on the outside of the elbow when you use your wrist extensor muscles. . It can be a very painful and limiting condition and so most advice given is to just rest the elbow and avoid/modify activities that hurt.... . A popular study looked at 198 patients who have had tennis elbow for more than 6 weeks. . Those participants for the next 6 weeks after either had 1. Physiotherapy treatment 2. Rest and advice to modify/rest painful activities 3. Just a corticosteroid injection. . After those 6 weeks they found that those that had Physiotherapy (manual therapy work and exercise) had superior benefits and outcomes to those who just rested their elbow or even those who just received a corticosteroid injection . . This tells us that the condition is more than just rest! Proper physiotherapy care and treatment is essential for rehab for this condition. . Over the course of this week we’ll be showcasing exercises and ways to help your condition . . Book with @exactphysiotherapy on 9819 6259 to receive proper treatment and care . . .

05.01.2022 Sever’s Disease - Pain Management . Sever’s Disease is an inflammation of the growth plate in the heel of a growing child (ages 9-12), normally more present in boys than girls. . Typically they’ll occur during growth spurts or when there is a large change in training load .... . You may feel heel pain during exercise that starts to worsen over time and/or notice that you’re starting to limp more as well and walk on you toes more as well. . Nevertheless here are some strategies to reduce pain . 1) Ice - helps settle inflammation and reduce pain 2) Heel wedge - these lift your heel and can temporarily offload force going into your heel 3) Foam Rolling - releasing your calf muscles with a foam roller is a good way to loosen these muscles that connect to the heel. This is not the same as stretching, which we do not advise in the early stages of this condition. 4) REST: Limit activities that are causing you pain is essential and is the most important thing you can do to manage pain. . Sever’s is a condition that is self limiting and can be very limiting.
