Elbow Pain
The elbow pain is a ‘hinge joint’ that is made up of the humerus (upper arm) and its connections with the radius and ulna (Your forearm bones). While the main movements of the elbow are flexion and extension (bending and straightening) your arm, it is also critical in pronation and supination (rotation up or down) of the forearm. Elbow Pain can be caused by damage, degeneration or irritation of any of the soft tissue, or bony structures around the elbow.
Golfers Elbow
The elbow can flex and extend, as well as pronate and supinate the forearm. However, it is also critical in the function of the wrist and hand.
16 muscles cross the elbow joint, with many of them being the prime movers of your hand, fingers and wrist. A majority of the muscles that flex (bend) your wrist actually originate on the medial (middle side) side of your elbow joint. With overuse or misuse of these muscles, their tendinous origin point can become sore causing Golfer’s Elbow. While this condition is seen in the golfing population, is can occur in any person who performs grip dominant activities.
Plantar Fasclitis
The plantar fascia is a thick band of connective tissue that is located on the under-surface of our foot.
It is highly important in absorbing our weight as we walk, run and jump, as well as propelling us forward. It is an important structural piece in our longitudinal arch. The plantar-fascia is designed to handle quite large forces, but when it experiences abnormally large loads, or is strained over time, it can be a common source of pain.
