<span style="font-weight: 400;">I often speak to coaches who worry that they don’t know enough. That they feel there is a missing link. A gap perhaps in their anatomy knowledge. So much so that they are worried they can’t help their clients as much as they would like to and even worried they may lose clients as a result. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you wish you had a magic exercise you could give them to help?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you getting disheartened by the numbers of clients you have with ‘issues’?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Firstly let me reassure you that there are many things we can do for clients with ‘issues’, even within our remit. With the understanding that your consultation was thorough and there were no red flags.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So let’s take a look at elbow pain, or tingly fingers as an example…</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have any clients that get tingly fingers or pain in their elbow when pulling, gripping or pressing then read on...</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">They could have the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">beginnings</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of an RSI for example (repetitive strain injury) like Tennis Elbow or Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The nervous system is a single continuum throughout the entire body &amp; so symptoms can show up almost anywhere but be caused by another part of the kinetic chain. This can make our job difficult in identifying root causes &amp; knowing what to do about them.</span>

&nbsp;
<h1><b>Common Causes Of Elbow Pain When Pulling, Gripping Or Pressing</b></h1>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Common contributors are overactive pec minor, subscapularis, infraspinatus, upper traps, stiff thoracic spine and a tight median nerve. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There could also be any combination of these (along with a multitude of more distal contributors but that's another blog!)</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The muscles provide an ‘over’ protective spasm to the nerve during movement and if stretched or loaded sufficiently the muscles can spasm enough to cause themselves to tense up - which can FEEL like a tear even.  By mobilising the nerve it releases the tension in the muscles &amp; reduces the likelihood of this actually happening.</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><b>Example While Gripping</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">During the golf swing when ‘gripping’ for example, if the median nerve is tight it can reduce the amount the player can complete his backswing &amp; adopt the best position at the top of his swing.  </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">This would be due to the muscle spasm that builds up to try &amp; protect the inflexible nerve.  The greater the muscle spasm (which is unbeknown to the player as it is ‘sub’ clinical at this point) the more he'll try &amp; force his shoulder turn, which in turn increases the tension etc.  The key to a sound &amp; reproducible swing is to reduce any tension in the swing, so as to help with timing &amp; rhythm. So by mobilising the median nerve, we are helping with ALL of the above.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So during our practical anatomy workshops, we discuss how to test and exercise these areas to not only reduce the risk of this problem occurring but also to reduce recurring issues like tingly fingers or sore elbows AND a fantastic side effect is optimized performance!! Whoohoo!</span>
