How is it that you can get golfer's elbow or tennis elbow, even if you've never golfed or picked up a racket?

Elbow pain affects almost 3 million Americans, so chances are you know someone who experiences elbow pain or are someone who suffers with it yourself.

Common treatment strategies like steroids, bracing, or nerve stimulation may passively address pain, but don't fix the underlying movement issue that contributed to the injury in the first place.

And, like with most things, having a better understanding of the anatomy of what's actually going on will help you decide the next best step for you.

So if you have forearm or elbow pain, or have noticed that your grip strength isn't what it used to be, then today's episode is for you.

You'll learn:

• Why you don't have to play any sports to have tennis or golfer's elbow
• The role repetitive movement plays
• And how massage and building forearm strength can help get rid of pain
