Physical Therapist and Chief Clinical Officer for Rolflex demonstrates the correct way to use the Rolflex. • 2 to 3 minutes 2 to 3 times a day is all it takes to get you back to doing what you love. • How To Treat Golfer’s Elbow With The Rolflex Foam Roller • If left untreated for too long, you may need surgery to repair the damaged tendons, especially if you want to regain full strength mobility in your lower arm. So instead, we’re going to show you a foam rolling technique to treat your condition long before you need physical therapy or surgery. • 1. Foam roll your forearm • Place your arm through the Rolflex handles and position the contoured foam roller on your inner forearm, below the tender area. Slide the roller back and forth over the inside of your forearm to warm up the muscles and begin breaking down the damaged scar tissue. Massage the entire forearm, all the way from the wrist up to just before the pain in your elbow. • It’s absolutely necessary that you avoid foam rolling directly over the inflamed area. This will aggravate the tendons and cause further pain longer recovery times. • Continue this deep tissue massage for 30 seconds, making note of any particularly tender areas. Most of these will be within inches of your elbow. • 2. Active Release Therapy (ART): below the elbow • Now that you’ve primed the forearm muscles, it’s time to break down the scar tissue that’s causing you pain. • Place the Rolflex over one of the tender areas near your elbow – these are called trigger points. Gently squeeze the handles to apply pressure and flex your forearm muscles by forming a fist. While flexing the muscle, move your wrist back and forth. • This technique is called active release therapy (ART), a form of self-myofascial release that breaks down and restores mobility in damaged muscle tissue. Tension is actively released as the myofascial tissue is stripped from the tendons. • Perform 5-10 repetitions of both wrist flexion (palm facing towards you) and extension (palm facing outwards). After that, perform 5-10 repetitions of both clockwise and counterclockwise wrist circles. These four movements will strip the hard, damaged tissue away from the tendon to reduce pain and promote healing. • 3. ART: above the elbow • Slide the Rolflex above the elbow joint, without applying pressure as you pass over it. Position the foam roller so that it sits on the medial tricep, which attaches to the humerus. • Just as you did with your wrist, bend and straighten your arm to flex the tricep muscle. As you do this, the contoured foam roller will break up the damaged tissue just above your elbow. • Bend and straighten your arm for a total of 5-10 repetitions. After that, rotate your arm both clockwise and counterclockwise for 5-10 repetitions, stripping down the tissue and releasing the tension from the area. • All in all, this technique should take just 3-5 minutes to complete. For best results, repeat this routine 2-3x per day. You should notice significant improvements in pain, tension, and mobility in 1-2 weeks. • Combined with rest, ice, and other mobility exercises, you should be back to normal in no time! • Symptoms of golfer’s elbow • If you golf and are experiencing inner elbow pain even when you’re not playing. But in any case, these are the symptoms of golfer’s elbow: • Pain and tenderness on your inner elbow, especially when making a fist • Stiffness and decreased range of motion • Aching pain in your forearm or wrist • Loss of grip strength • Numbness or tingling in your fingers • What causes golfer’s elbow? • As the name suggests, golf is the primary cause of golfer’s elbow. However, the condition also presents in: • Throwing sports like baseball, softball, cricket javelin, and discus • Weightlifters and powerlifters, due to the amount of time their forearm muscles spend under tension • Individuals who type, write, sew, and garden regularly • Manual laborers like plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and gardeners • Read the full guide here: https://rolflexrecovery.com/pages/foa... • Get your Rolflex today: https://rolflexrecovery.com/collectio... • Follow us on Instagram: / rolflexrecovery • Like us on Facebook: / rolflexrecovery
