Video Summary
Irwina Kwan, a sports physical therapist, explains lateral epicondylitis, a condition where the elbow tendon gets inflamed due to repetitive motion. Treatment begins with pain and swelling reduction using modalities like extracorporeal shockwave therapy, which enhances growth factors for tissue healing. Once stable, eccentric strengthening exercises are introduced, such as the extensor stretch, wrist extension eccentric exercises, and the Tyler twist. These exercises promote tendon healing and structural adaptation by loading the tendon in a lengthened position, aiding in pain management and recovery.
