The TRUTH About Elbow Pain (And How to Solve It!)

Elbow injuries are often difficult to diagnose and treat. Many educated clinicians find that elbow injuries can be confusing and the treatment can be somewhat complicated. If you look at the research, elbow pain almost always ranks as one of the top injured joints amongst strength athletes like weightlifters and powerlifters. However, despite being so common, you can scour the internet and research journals for days and fail to find a consensus amongst medical and rehab professionals on the best approach to its management and treatment. In today's video I'm going to show you a few steps I take when evaluating elbow pain and things you can do to help fix this injury. Key points: 1) Don't look ONLY at the site of symptoms: the WHY behind elbow pain often lies at the wrist and/or shoulder complex. 2) Banded joint mobilizations can be helpful especially for lateral elbow pain. 3) Elbow position during squats can have a dramatic effect on the amount of load placed on the elbow.
