 What is Golfer's Elbow?Golfer’s Elbow, scientifically known as epicondylitis, is a condition where the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow become inflamed. The pain initiates from the bony bump-like structure of the elbow and travels down the inside of the forearm. The name is a misnomer, in that it doesn’t just affect golfers. Golfer’s elbow is different from Tennis elbow in that, tennis elbow affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow, while Golfer’s Elbow is caused by damage to the tendons on the inside of the elbow. It is also less common than tennis elbow. What Causes Golfer's Elbow?The condition gets its name from an overused hand motion, like that of a golfer. Golfer’s Elbow is caused by forearm muscle overuse due to repetitive movements like flexing, gripping or swinging. These movements can cause tiny tears in the tendons. Overuse of tools like hammers, rakes and paintbrushes can cause Golfer’s Elbow as well. When to Seek Help for Golfer's Elbow? If your symptoms are not improving after two weeks, it's probably worth getting somebody to look at your Golfer's Elbow. Getting it seen to early can facilitate a faster recovery and reduce the chance of re-occurrence. Without allowing the injury to heal, and continuing the activity that is aggravating the golfer's elbow, the pain will likely get worse. In some extreme cases, surgery might be required. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Golfer's Elbow?Bowen Therapy may help to increase blood flow to the area to increase the rate of healing and speed up recovery. Bowen may also help by working to release tension in the flexor muscles of the forearm which could be putting additional stress on the tendons of the elbow and preventing recovery.
Many clients with Golfer's Elbow that have Bowen Therapy may report a faster rate of healing, a better range in their movements, and feeling more comfortable doing the activities they enjoy. With Bowen Therapy we address the whole body, targeting several different areas we see as contributing to the problem. And because Bowen works differently to other therapists (through the nervous system), it's not uncommon to get results where other therapists have failed..

What Causes Tennis Elbow?Surprisingly, Tennis Elbow only occurs in 5% of people who play tennis. It is commonly found to occur in people who are involved in jobs where they are required to perform repetitive types of motion. For example, cutting trees, playing a musical instrument, carpentry, rowing a boat, cutting meat etc. Due to the constant to-and-fro of the arm, the tendons that connect the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle to the elbow, develop rips and cause pain. Apart from sport and certain occupations, age also seems to play a role in those who may be predisposed to developing a Tennis Elbow. The condition is found to mostly occur in adults who are between the ages of 30 and 50. When to Seek Help for Tennis Elbow? Having somebody look at your tennis elbow earlier rather than later may facilitate a faster recovery and reduce the chance of re-occurrence. If your pain is not improving after two weeks its probably worth getting it looked at. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Tennis Elbow?Bowen Therapy may help to increase blood flow to the area to increase the rate of healing and speed up recovery. Bowen may also help by working to release tension in the extensor muscles of the forearm which could be putting additional stress on the tendons of the elbow and preventing recovery. The good thing about Bowen Therapy is that we address the whole body, targeting several different areas we see as contributing to the problem, not just the elbow, and this is how we may get our results to last longer.

What is Carpal Tunnel?
What causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? The carpal tunnel is the name for a structure in your wrist, a narrow passageway made of bone and ligaments that protects the nerve and tendons that run to your hand and fingers. When the nerve running through the carpal tunnel is pinched or compressed, one begins to experience the pain, tingling or weakness of carpal tunnel syndrome. The anatomy of the carpal tunnel can be different in different people leaving those born with a narrow carpal tunnel potentially more susceptible to this problem. The width of the carpal tunnel can also be affected through wrist fractures or arthritic conditions which can cause a narrowing of the carpal tunnel, also increasing the likelihood of experiencing this condition. However often I find carpal tunnel syndrome is experienced after repetitive overuse of the muscles of the forearms and wrists. A type of repetitive strain injury (RSI) of the muscles and tendons in this area. Relaxing and softening the soft tissues in the area may bring considerable relief. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be common in women who are pregnant or going through menopause because they tend to have fluid retention that can cause a narrowing of the carpal tunnel. Often the condition resolves on it's own once the pregnancy is over. When to Seek Help for Carpal Tunnel? As with most complaints if it's not improving within 2 weeks, it's probably worth getting somebody to have a look at it for you. Catching it early will increase the chances of a faster recovery and reduce the chance of re-occurrence. How may Bowen Therapy help people with Carpal Tunnel?Bowen Therapy sessions target the soft tissues that compress the nerves responsible for carpal tunnel pain. When there is less compression, increased circulation to the area may facilitate faster healing. With Bowen Therapy we address the whole body, targeting several different areas we see as contributing to the problem, and this is how we may get our results to last longer. Clients who have Bowen Therapy may report a faster rate of healing, a better range in their movements, and feeling more comfortable doing the activities they enjoy.
