You're right, there is something very aesthetic about it. I was thinking that the body stops looking gross & starts looking mechanical after a bunch of these videos but the way they've stripped some parts & posed the rest is what makes the function so clear.
Plot twist: The person enquiring about the arm woke up from surgery one day, with a missing right arm. The surgeon’s response was, “What can I say? You wanted us to remove your appendix…we removed your appendix.”
The efficiency is masterful. It does so many things well that it's incredibly highly optimized. The answer to "Why isn't it better at such?" is almost always "it would directly diminish other functions." Like if your car is faster, it's less fuel efficient because it creates more drag, which you can reduce by increasing the aerodynamic shape, which decreases cargo and passenger space. And the smaller the more aerodynamic but you end up not having enough room for a powerful enough engine if you go too small, so it defeats the purpose, and consequently you end up with a sweet spot of compact, sedan, or pickup truck depending on your performance priorities.
@@cosmictreason2242 simply not true. There are many things in the body or even in our cells that are inefficient or straight up stupid. The reason is simply the rule behind every change in evolution: the rule of „good enough“. Evolution isn‘t optimized, it‘s messy and just sticks with what works
Ok I’ve sorted mine and I’ve come back here to share how I did it. I do motorcross and I damaged mine properly!! I tried everything including 3 cortisone injections. I also bought that silly strap which actually hurt it even more. Mine was torn on the tendon and the muscle was torn causing pain from the tendon, down about 5cm. NOTHING worked. Rubbing it sideways, up and down, icing it, etc etc etc…It was so so bad, I couldn’t do anything-had it for 5months. I started to read all the comments and picked up two bits of info. I bought a simple hot water bottle. I started every evening after supper, to put the hot water bottle on my arm and hold it there until it cooled down. I got it as HOT AS POSSIBLE!! For as long as possible. I also did it some afternoons. While doing it I kept my arm as STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE!!! Then, I went to sleep with my arm STRAIGHT and never bent it in the night. I used extra pillows to keep it STRAIGHT. I did this for 3 weeks thinking I’m still going to have to go for an operation.. when one day I woke up and it felt sore, but a different sore. Because I’d kept it STRAIGHT for as long as possible, it had a chance to recover. The heat from the hot water bottle brought blood supply to the area and it healed. I went for a slow ride yesterday and the rest of my body is sore, but not the tennis elbow. I’m still doing the hot water bottle!!!! I’m NOT getting this pain again I am determined!!! HEAT AND OXYGEN & KEEPING IT STRAIGHT WHEN YOU SLEEP. Try it, don’t use ice, and don’t try anti inflammatorys because you need it inflamed and hot!!! Good luck!! 👍 Allan
Nice. I’ll try that. Have you tried using a band and making a fist? Squat university guy has an awesome UA-cam short on it. Mine pain almost went away after doing it. Yours sounds way worse than mine
Hey i really appreciate your insight im going on to my second year with this. I also saw difference when sleeping with my arm straight all night i even sat up a bit for mine. I didn’t think to realize the hot water thing you said that’s so obvious. I’m going to try that but mostly I’m commenting to see your progress and how your arm is feeling now? I want this gone asap i also have done tons of research myself and almost got it healed and i snapped it again …..yea i know. If you ever cared to share our information id totally be down to find a way to communicate, long shot but at this point i need my arm fixed. MRI and X-rays show nothing and physical therapy for 3 months didn’t do anything either.
I had a picc line IV put in on the inside of my elbow. I know have golfers elbow from bad placement and scar tissue Sorry to hear you’re having lasting side effects Sucks doesn’t it.
Also had my arm broken, had metal through my shoulder all the way down to my elbow and shoulsve removed it after one year but my lazy ass didnt do that and at some point i got fed up and just went to the doc and didnt even mention anything other than that it has to be removed. Nobody really blamed me that i waites so long and then the operation day came, after i woke up from the anaesthetic my arm was obliterated lol and when i spoke to the doc that performed the surgery he said that he wanted to abort the Surgery after not being able to get the metal out cause my bone grew and held the metal in place so well after all this time and well but he didnt, he tried it again and told me he had to use extreme force to finally get it out lol. Now im thankful that i did all that, obv the recovery sucked but yeah.. now, all that story only to tell you one thing: go to some doctor, maybe to a differwnt one so you dont feel ashamed like me and try to get it out.. its worth it im sure 🙏✨

I've tried ice, rest, foam roll, lacross ball roll, voodoo floss...Theraband Flexbar is the only thing that worked for me. Tennis elbow is the result of overuse of a specific muscle group from a repeated, one-sided motion (probably forehand). Working out muscles in the opposite motion will alleviate the pain. Theraband Flexbar helped me understand this.
Oh shit. That's an arm. A whole goddamn arm. Like muscle, tendons, everything... Damn dude... That's legit. I missed everything you said because goddamn that's a whole arm 😐

@@paul-gomez It took 1-2 years but it finally went away. The key is really to change how you move when working/playing. My doctor talked about a form of physical therapy involving "impacts" treatment to stimulate the immune response but I didn't do it.
@@shivaraj_onlyS_to I have found that sleeping with a brace that keeps my arms from bending, helps a number of issues I have from overuse. The braces I have use a metal piece in both sides but I take out the one on the medial side which allows for _very_ light flexion of the elbow.

It worked and I never had the problem again.

Same here but it's been going for over a year now. My life has completely changed (for the worse; can't do most of the things I love because of the pain and dexterity loss), and I am desperately looking for a way out.
Actually, and you should make a video showing this: one of the best treatments is a thin brace worn snug a few inches distal to the epicondyle. This pressure pushes down into the extensor tendons essentially making their anchor point closer than it is naturally. So then when the person uses the wrist extensors, it pulls at the brace site instead of the epicondyle. This lets the inflammed section of the tendons rest. Having a cadaver arm, showing how this works, will help people understand the mechanics of why it works. I usually try to explain it to my patients using the guitar string as an analogy, by pressing down on the string you restrict what part of the string is engaged and able to vibrate, while the part of the string part your finger can stay still. This also works with medial epicondylitis, which is the same issue but with the flexor tendons (golf elbow)
I don't know what to do with mine but just basically stop over using it but it flares up and the thing i have for my arm just doesn't help. I just use advil and sometimes roll on A535
My moms got tennis elbow in both arms, she’s currently out of work now because her dominant arm is completely out of service. It’s interesting to see where it’s affected and described ! Thank you
@@AkiraHartono some people are so determined to not fix their bodies that they just live with it honestly. Not saying thats the case here but it probably is since tennis elbow is fixable. Granted, most people dont take the time to look into it either
She does but iI just keeps getting worse. Her right arm isn’t as bad anymore. She worked in a hospital as a housekeeper for 15 years, constantly lifting heavy bags of trash and linen. Now she works at FedEx delivering packages, and our dog is really rough with her and he caused the start of tennis elbow in her left arm (dominant) She was on steroids for a week I believe and it didn’t help her arm. Just her knees. She is seeing a doctor. My mom is also the type of person who puts it off until she can’t tolerate it anymore. A lot of it has to do with the fact she had a shit husband who made it difficult for her to do things for herself (I.e doctor appointments)
@@syd_VonBielefeld well just so you know tennis elbow is fixable without going to the doctor. Just have her work on wrist extensor and flexor stretches for a few months
So I just had an ad on another video that had the pitch character as a decaying corpse whose arms fell off when he tried to shake hands with people. I wasn’t prepared for this video to be the sequel with a random arm just hanging out. Sort of made me twitch for a second.
It's all about the ECRB. The extensor carpi radials brevis. Force moment through the carpal bones and somewhat to and through the extension motion of the middle finger. Has the greatest force moment in extension due to the middle finger being the longest digit. Every time you grab something(flexion of virtually all the digitorums)the opposing side moderates the flexion moments of the digits - functionally in MRIs, and mostly via the carpal attachments. So in reality - and the ECRB in intensity have to act to mediate the degree of "grasp"(so as not to crush a paper cup for example). That's why it hurts to even grab a glass of water when epicondylitis is severe. Release this sucker correctly and your client, with forearm prone similar to the cadaver arm in this video, should have their middle finger "flipping off the therapist." Not just because of the pain jokingly, but because the musculotendinous unit will shorten with applied pressure in the right amount and at the precise point near the lateral epicondyle but literally on and around the area of the myotendinous junction of the common extensor complex. Have done this successfully many times with many clients. Pressure point of release Needs to be deep and long (and applied very slowly but progressively)in duration, preferably with a very skilled elbow on the part of the therapist and opposite hand thenar eminence stabilizing the working side/limb elbow of the therapist as not to slip off the area(it sucks if you do and client won't continue). For years and years - this has always been highly efficacious to All - yes ALL - clients with a higher athletic style pain tolerance that can handle the slow, adaptive deep pressure and active release techniques. Anatomy Trains is a great book.
Interesting. I was scheduled for 2 shoulder operations about 4 years ago. I could not lift either arm higher than my waist. But, before surgery, I researched like crazy and then went to a most highly skilled PT (who works w/ Major League pitchers) and paid him to do his thing. 10 sessions later.....I'm functioning pain free. Canceled both surgeries. This was 3-1/2 years ago..... I won't be doing anymore pull-ups, but I'm a very active 67 year old. Now: Simplify what you just said above. AND are there simple exercises that will help? (I've got "Pickleball Elbow"!) :-)
@@peterb2346Not trying to make this more complex than it may or may not be, but without being there in person makes it more obscure to give accurate recommendations because I can't read your body language; ask you to move the arm/elbow in certain ways that bring about your pain, ask you to judge it's severity (1-10, 10 being tears one being just enough to know it's there) etc. That being said - the best analogy is to think of a shoe lace with a knot in it. To strengthen any muscle you obviously require that muscle to generate tension over and over with each contraction. The tighter and more often you tense that rope (or muscle), the tighter and more stubborn the knot becomes. Also - not to repeat without giving additional value or answer your question but…the actual release (rolling the lateral elbow on a hard enough ball or massage tool and or preferentially getting a good massage therapist to release it who is well trained in trigger point release to (pardon the overused simplification) - undo the knot. Then you stretch and strengthen. The “shoe lace” will be back to its original length. Combined with stretch and strength maintenance, it will be less likely to reoccur. Lots of these things are difficult to describe, easy to demonstrate. I would put a short vid in here if I could. But not trying to hi jack anyone’s channel - lol. Look up or google “self-stretches for the wrist extensor muscle groups” and or “common extensor group of the wrist.” Good luck.
The Tendon which is often involved or mainly involved in Tennis-Elbow is the Tendon which connects the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis to the Lateral Epicondlye
If anyone aside from Tennis players can relate to this it's arm wrestlers. OMG the pain. Both tennis and golfer's elbow are huge issues, more so for myself who also has an autoimmune arthritic condition which multiplies this exponentially!
I transcribed medical reports for about 20 years, but I never got to see what the doctor was talking about. I'm retired now, but how refreshing to see the actual structures/parts!
There is no cure for this. I’ve been out of the gym for numerous times because of both tennis and golf elbow. Once for 5 months, again for 8 months and most recently, for over a year thinking time would heal it. After going back to the gym, after just two weeks, the pain is back. So now I’m just getting cortisol injections until it finally tears and then I’ll get it surgically fixed.
Years ago I unwittingly put myself in the "long haul" category. 😱 I've learned to use massage, warmups, careful strength training, and rest to improve somewhat.
A warning, especially to men, regarding one of the causes of degeneration (wearing down) or, in some cases, microtearing of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow. These forearm muscles and their associated tendons become damaged from overuse - repeating the same motions again and again, which can lead to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. The principal tendon affected by such repeated overuse - and therefore wear - is the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), which attaches the ECRB forearm muscle to the lateral epicondyle. You don't have to play tennis: irritation can be caused by prolonged periods of, and repeated motions during masturbation. So lads, cut back on the w'king, vary the routine, or get someone else to lend a hand. 😉
I’ve had this on both arms for over a decade. Never gets better or goes away. I had a surgery on the left elbow which did not really help. And I also have a similar condition on the inside of the elbow called golfers elbow. Quite annoying.
I had to get surgery in order to fix the problem after over a year of being in horrible pain every time I moved my arm. I'd done the Prednisone shots and they worked for roughly 3 months but every time I got the shot it set me into mania and that would land me in the psych unit. After my insurance said they wouldn't pay for the surgery, I appealed their decision explaining that they could either pay for the surgery and hope it fixed it or I could continue to get the Prednisone shots every 3 months and they could pay for me to be in the psych hospital for 2-3 weeks. They reversed their decision decision and paid for the surgery which was a complete success. The doctor that did the surgery said it was the worst case of tennis elbow that he had ever seen.
Yes I have this and its not from tennis lol My body started breaking down and I have all kinds of crap that hurts daily. But this one creeped up on me and I cannot sleep with my arm outwardly or else I can't move it in the morning. Its very painful.
Tennis and golfers elbow(which is the same as tennis elbow but on the other side) is msot often caused by either a weak shoulder that doesn’t sit in good posture during activity, and/or a weak forearm, or not enough forearm engagement, particularly not having both while lifting.
Uh are there no restrictions on what you can use the cadavers for? Thought there were pretty strict rules about that. Not sure if they factored social social media into it. Just a thought.
Ice and rest is not optimal. pain-free movement is the way to go, ice will only prolong the injury and resting will only make the muscles weaker thus increasing the risk of injury in the future. When it's fully "healed" you can start rehab and you should keep doing the rehab even if you are back to where you were!
People don’t realize how hard it is to dissect this beautifully 😂

My moms got tennis elbow in both arms, she’s currently out of work now because her dominant arm is completely out of service. It’s interesting to see where it’s affected and described ! Thank you
Does she not treat it??
@@AkiraHartono some people are so determined to not fix their bodies that they just live with it honestly. Not saying thats the case here but it probably is since tennis elbow is fixable. Granted, most people dont take the time to look into it either
She does but iI just keeps getting worse. Her right arm isn’t as bad anymore. She worked in a hospital as a housekeeper for 15 years, constantly lifting heavy bags of trash and linen.
Now she works at FedEx delivering packages, and our dog is really rough with her and he caused the start of tennis elbow in her left arm (dominant)
She was on steroids for a week I believe and it didn’t help her arm. Just her knees. She is seeing a doctor.
My mom is also the type of person who puts it off until she can’t tolerate it anymore. A lot of it has to do with the fact she had a shit husband who made it difficult for her to do things for herself (I.e doctor appointments)
@@syd_VonBielefeld you can have her strengthen her forearm flexors (other side of the arm) this should help as well
@@syd_VonBielefeld well just so you know tennis elbow is fixable without going to the doctor. Just have her work on wrist extensor and flexor stretches for a few months
Oh, that takes me back to when I was a student. We owe the kind people who donated their bodies to science a dept of gratitude.
What about any exercise possible to lengthen the muscle or graston? Wouldn’t that eliminate the “long haul” doom?
So I just had an ad on another video that had the pitch character as a decaying corpse whose arms fell off when he tried to shake hands with people. I wasn’t prepared for this video to be the sequel with a random arm just hanging out. Sort of made me twitch for a second.
It's all about the ECRB. The extensor carpi radials brevis. Force moment through the carpal bones and somewhat to and through the extension motion of the middle finger. Has the greatest force moment in extension due to the middle finger being the longest digit. Every time you grab something(flexion of virtually all the digitorums)the opposing side moderates the flexion moments of the digits - functionally in MRIs, and mostly via the carpal attachments. So in reality - and the ECRB in intensity have to act to mediate the degree of "grasp"(so as not to crush a paper cup for example). That's why it hurts to even grab a glass of water when epicondylitis is severe. Release this sucker correctly and your client, with forearm prone similar to the cadaver arm in this video, should have their middle finger "flipping off the therapist." Not just because of the pain jokingly, but because the musculotendinous unit will shorten with applied pressure in the right amount and at the precise point near the lateral epicondyle but literally on and around the area of the myotendinous junction of the common extensor complex. Have done this successfully many times with many clients. Pressure point of release Needs to be deep and long (and applied very slowly but progressively)in duration, preferably with a very skilled elbow on the part of the therapist and opposite hand thenar eminence stabilizing the working side/limb elbow of the therapist as not to slip off the area(it sucks if you do and client won't continue). For years and years - this has always been highly efficacious to All - yes ALL - clients with a higher athletic style pain tolerance that can handle the slow, adaptive deep pressure and active release techniques. Anatomy Trains is a great book.
Interesting. I was scheduled for 2 shoulder operations about 4 years ago. I could not lift either arm higher than my waist. But, before surgery, I researched like crazy and then went to a most highly skilled PT (who works w/ Major League pitchers) and paid him to do his thing. 10 sessions later.....I'm functioning pain free. Canceled both surgeries. This was 3-1/2 years ago..... I won't be doing anymore pull-ups, but I'm a very active 67 year old. Now: Simplify what you just said above. AND are there simple exercises that will help? (I've got "Pickleball Elbow"!) :-)
@@peterb2346Not trying to make this more complex than it may or may not be, but without being there in person makes it more obscure to give accurate recommendations because I can't read your body language; ask you to move the arm/elbow in certain ways that bring about your pain, ask you to judge it's severity (1-10, 10 being tears one being just enough to know it's there) etc.
That being said - the best analogy is to think of a shoe lace with a knot in it. To strengthen any muscle you obviously require that muscle to generate tension over and over with each contraction. The tighter and more often you tense that rope (or muscle), the tighter and more stubborn the knot becomes.
Also - not to repeat without giving additional value or answer your question but…the actual release (rolling the lateral elbow on a hard enough ball or massage tool and or preferentially getting a good massage therapist to release it who is well trained in trigger point release to (pardon the overused simplification) - undo the knot. Then you stretch and strengthen. The “shoe lace” will be back to its original length.
Combined with stretch and strength maintenance, it will be less likely to reoccur.
Lots of these things are difficult to describe, easy to demonstrate. I would put a short vid in here if I could. But not trying to hi jack anyone’s channel - lol.
Look up or google “self-stretches for the wrist extensor muscle groups” and or “common extensor group of the wrist.” Good luck.
Your specimens are so exquisitely prepared!! Kudos to whoever is responsible!!
The Tendon which is often involved or mainly involved in Tennis-Elbow is the Tendon which connects the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis to the Lateral Epicondlye
I understand what you're saying somehow lol
@@JinxMarie1985 that’s cool 🤣👍
This arm is dissected so beautifully
I once had a right hand man. This is all that's left of him
You wrote a nice pun there mate...to explain kids these days
Well played
Everyone is gangsta until the arm starts moving on its own
Ever since the Internet came to fruition, this elbow disorder has increased 10,000%
Tennis elbow forced me to follow through with my strokes. Really ended up improving my form a lot! And also never had the problem again.
I've had tennis elbow twice. It sounds silly, but it's awful. I didn't enjoy it or carpal tunnel, no fun at all.
If anyone aside from Tennis players can relate to this it's arm wrestlers. OMG the pain. Both tennis and golfer's elbow are huge issues, more so for myself who also has an autoimmune arthritic condition which multiplies this exponentially!
I'm glad people donate their bodies - so much can be learned.
"Honey, have you seen my right arm anywhere?
When you start driving to work and feel like youre missing something....
Creepy, yet fascinatingly beautiful.
Its not beautiful
Solution:
1) median nerve flossing exercises
2) strengthen tricep in various ROM
3) avoid compound lifts like pressing until pain is gone
4)harden up
I Never thought that I would see a dead tennis player’s right arm on UA-cam shorts today. Cool and fascinatingly beautiful.
Thank you very much for teaching us peasants. I really appreciate it! I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Bro never missed forearm day
I transcribed medical reports for about 20 years, but I never got to see what the doctor was talking about. I'm retired now, but how refreshing to see the actual structures/parts!
Where are you from
Imagine being a reincarnation of the guy who had this arm and looking at your old human arm on video not knowing
"THE SUSPECT'S ARMED! DISARM THE SUSPECT NOW!"
anatomists:
This poor souls is one of the many fatalities of arm wrestling.
How are the bodies saved in this form showing all the muscles,bone, tendons and so on? How are they preserved?
Formaldehyde. It smells like death.
The Institute of Human Anatomy actually did a video where they talk about that: ua-cam.com/video/fuL9RmHEGUY/v-deo.html
@@Ice_Karma thanks for pointing 👉 these 2 scientists in the direction of that video 📹...
Just learned this in my class today, super interesting
It is actually a tendonopathy and you have to stay active to rehab it
That man died from tennis elbow
There is no cure for this. I’ve been out of the gym for numerous times because of both tennis and golf elbow. Once for 5 months, again for 8 months and most recently, for over a year thinking time would heal it. After going back to the gym, after just two weeks, the pain is back. So now I’m just getting cortisol injections until it finally tears and then I’ll get it surgically fixed.
Getting the arm off that cleanly is a ridiculous achievement
Years ago I unwittingly put myself in the "long haul" category. 😱 I've learned to use massage, warmups, careful strength training, and rest to improve somewhat.
I don't think the former owner of the arm needs to worry about tennis elbow anymore.
Me feeling pain due to my tennis elbow....
Meanwhile youtube recommends me this shorts 😂
A warning, especially to men, regarding one of the causes of degeneration (wearing down) or, in some cases, microtearing of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow. These forearm muscles and their associated tendons become damaged from overuse - repeating the same motions again and again, which can lead to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. The principal tendon affected by such repeated overuse - and therefore wear - is the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), which attaches the ECRB forearm muscle to the lateral epicondyle. You don't have to play tennis: irritation can be caused by prolonged periods of, and repeated motions during masturbation. So lads, cut back on the w'king, vary the routine, or get someone else to lend a hand. 😉
Should be termed as WORLD CUP
I’ve had this on both arms for over a decade. Never gets better or goes away. I had a surgery on the left elbow which did not really help. And I also have a similar condition on the inside of the elbow called golfers elbow. Quite annoying.
You would think something that hurts as bad as tennis elbow would have a significantly more ominous name than tennis elbow.
See this is super interesting, but idk what a normal dissected elbow is SUPPOSED to look like.
I see people are silly. The man is showing us what the problem area is and what it is attached too. It may help in recovery.
Watching this while eating steak is giving me a really food idea on the texture of human meat
“You’re looking at the right arm-“ I thought you were gonna say “…of the Forbidden One” damn.
I had to get surgery in order to fix the problem after over a year of being in horrible pain every time I moved my arm. I'd done the Prednisone shots and they worked for roughly 3 months but every time I got the shot it set me into mania and that would land me in the psych unit. After my insurance said they wouldn't pay for the surgery, I appealed their decision explaining that they could either pay for the surgery and hope it fixed it or I could continue to get the Prednisone shots every 3 months and they could pay for me to be in the psych hospital for 2-3 weeks. They reversed their decision decision and paid for the surgery which was a complete success. The doctor that did the surgery said it was the worst case of tennis elbow that he had ever seen.
dude's arm is disembodied
I dont think this is what we imagined when we checked yes ✔️ to Organ Donor on our drivers licenses.
In India 🇮🇳 tennis elbow is very famous because of Cricket God Sachin Tendulkars injury. 😅
Yes I read he got a PRP injection and then had surgery. But I could have my facts wrong.
What if the pain is coming from the inside of the elbow?
I’m curious. Do bodybuilders’ muscles look hypertrophied when dissected?
Without a Lacoste shirt I see no tennis elbow.
I got tennis elbow by "researching" too much. I had a research addiction.
Please explain ulna nerve instability.....
That bro is SHREDDED!
Yes I have this and its not from tennis lol My body started breaking down and I have all kinds of crap that hurts daily. But this one creeped up on me and I cannot sleep with my arm outwardly or else I can't move it in the morning. Its very painful.
Yup long hauler here.. using drivers all day at work 😢
Would guitar playing ever cause this? When I’m playing something really difficult over and over I’ll notice that specific spot getting crampy or tired
Never played tennis but def had this a few times. Horrible when you don't have a choice and can't rest it.
Tennis and golfers elbow(which is the same as tennis elbow but on the other side) is msot often caused by either a weak shoulder that doesn’t sit in good posture during activity, and/or a weak forearm, or not enough forearm engagement, particularly not having both while lifting.
HTF do you keep this so fresh and plentiful
Uh are there no restrictions on what you can use the cadavers for? Thought there were pretty strict rules about that. Not sure if they factored social social media into it. Just a thought.
I found Edward Elric's missing arm
Real human arm? Skinned too? I can't unsee this...
Sure u can all u have to do is walk into a big truck.. 🚚 🛻
Can you do one for golfers elbow, my inner ilbow has been fucked up for years
this janitor has the run of the place.
“Tennis Elbow” not to be mistaken with the “Jerk off Forearm”. 💀
“I get to take you to the Heimlich county sports medicine center and we can laugh at all the people with tennis elbow”
Ice and rest is not optimal.
pain-free movement is the way to go, ice will only prolong the injury and resting will only make the muscles weaker thus increasing the risk of injury in the future.
When it's fully "healed" you can start rehab and you should keep doing the rehab even if you are back to where you were!
No pain...no gain.😌
