Playing tennis and one-sided movements: this is how tennis elbow occurs
Many tennis players will at some point have to deal with tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis. This is because when playing tennis you often strain the same tendons and muscles in your forearm. Tennis players who are over 35 are more likely to suffer from this annoying condition. The extensor muscles are overloaded or loaded incorrectly, which ultimately results in tennis elbow. Is playing tennis bad for you? Certainly not! Keep hitting balls on the tennis court and beating your competitors during (friendly) competitions. Tennis elbow is annoying, but can easily be remedied with the right treatment. Tennis elbow can also occur during other activities, such as household chores or various activities.
EPTE therapy is a good treatment for tennis elbow
You want to get rid of pain as quickly as possible. We call this the treatment that helps very effectively with tennis elbow EPTE therapy. EPTE stands for ultrasound-guided percutaneous therapeutic electrolysis. The therapy does not hurt very much, but the electric current can cause a little bit of pain for a short time. The amount of pain pales into insignificance when you compare it to the pain you are currently living with.
