  1. It's not my pain :) I just read it in some magazine, and it looked oddly to me, so I post topic, to see if anybody knows something more about this.

     

    " Tennis elbow is a combination of chronic exhaustion and strain in the muscles that lift the wrist and fingers (the muscles of the back of the forearm), and/or inflamation of their tendons. One problem may be more prominent than the other. Hot, sharp pain right at the elbow probably indicates more of a tendinitis. A more aching pain that may spread through the whole arm typically may indicate a more muscular case of tennis elbow.

     

    forearm.jpg The muscles of the back of the forearm gather into a single tendon. In tennis elbow, both the tendon and the muscles themselves may be the source of pain.

     

    Obviously, this condition earned its name because tennis often causes it, but these days it is more commonly caused by computer usage and would be better described as “computer elbow.”

     

     

  2. There are some conditiones that can be treated with both, ice and heath. If you have cervical syndrome, for example, you can apply the ice on your neck and gently toward it to your sholdres, or you can massage that area with your hands, so the product will be heat.

    My opinion is that you should use ice on almost everything, cause it will relax musculature, and increase range of motions, and avoid the heat as much you can.

     

    The bruises should be treated with ice also, not directly on skin, but sprey it with something that have cool efect, so it can calm down the skin and decrease the pain.

    Strips of elastic tape are placed over muscles that are injured or strained. The tape is meant to support the muscles, improve blood flow, reduce injury, and improve performance. Dr. Kenzo Kase has apparently been developing Kinesio tape since the mid 1970's. So he has had over 30 years to conduct research and convince the medical community that the above claims have merit.

    In the case of sports injuries, bracing and wrapping the injured limb or joint is often helpful. It can provide support and take some strain off the injured muscle, ligament, or joint. Wrapping may also provide some heat that is helpful for sore or tight muscles.
    However, there has been very little research into Kinesio taping. The Kinesio website contains a list of research - mostly small pilot studies of dubious design and outcomes, and small case series. There is little well designed research substantiating any of the claims made for this product and technique.




    Any physical therapist who is using this tehnique ?
