A Message From Jamie Bovay, Owner & Founder of KinetikChain Physical Therapy
Hi, my name is Dr. Jamie Bovay and welcome to KinetikChain Denver.
Are you no longer acing the competition because of a tennis elbow injury? Has your tennis game been limited by pain, injury, or achiness/stiffness? If so it is very easy to think that it will go away on it’s own or that it’s “nothing to worry about”. Maybe you are starting to think reluctantly that this pain with tennis is just something you will have to put up with for the rest of your life. That you just won’t be able to play as often or as many games as you’d like.
Injuries, pain, or stiffness with tennis can make it very easy to get frustrated, wondering if you’ll ever be able to play like you used to…
Have you ever felt like this? Well you are not alone – we see people going through this all the time. Actually, we see players struggling with tennis elbow injuries and frustrations at our Cherry Creek clinic every week…
We now know that waiting just a little longer isn’t the answer. With tennis injuries there is no time too soon to start the rehab process.
This is completely the opposite of what most people do or hear, and is why so many people suffering, not playing the way they want, and asking themselves:
“Why Can I STILL Not Play the Way I Would Like To?”…
Most people think, have heard, and have read that after a tennis elbow injury they should just take a few days rest and it will get better. That they will be back to normal “before you know it”. But after that time off and all of those potential matches missed when they get back on the court their old nemesis pain is right there waiting for them. And many times it is worse than before. Many times when you rest you won’t have pain, but when you start hitting the ball again pain and stiffness is still there limiting what you can do and how well you can play.
Does That Sound Like You?
At KinetikChain we also frequently hear that when people go to their Doctors, and get a prescription of rest, pills, and maybe a brace. The doctors clearly aren’t tennis players and don’t seem to understand that time away from tennis is worse than the pain itself. Then they tell you to “come back in a few weeks if it’s not better”. And guess what the next prescription is for. Yep, the exact same thing, rest, pills, and a brace. Maybe this time the additional advice is take a longer rest and “maybe try a different brace” or “why don’t you take up pickleball instead”.
The problem is that when it comes to tennis injuries rarely is complete rest the best advice.
You may be confused and frustrated because you’ve heard lots of conflicting information from a variety of sources and you don’t know what to believe. Likely by now you have even tried several of these ideas and have found out that they don’t work.
Victim vs. Culprit:
Tennis injuries are frequently misunderstood because usually where the pain is coming from, ISN’T the area that needs to be addressed. On top of that if you rest for too long you will lose some of your skills and miss out on great opportunities.
Usually when thinking about the pain we need to think about a victim (pain area) and the culprit (area causing the pain). Usually these are two very different locations in the body. For instance a lack of shoulder control or strength may make you hit a backhand more with your forearms giving you tennis elbow. However, if you only treat the tennis elbow (victim) and not address the route cause of the problem (the shoulder, which is the culprit of the pain) there will only be some relief. Then the pain will come back once you start playing again.
Because tennis is such a full body and rotational sport this culprit could also be the hips, the spine, or many other things. The confusion over what to do makes many people hesitate on making a decision on what to do to help fix their injury and return back to tennis. Even worse, many people just start thinking ‘their days of playing tennis are over’ – or ‘it’s just a normal part of aging’.
Is That How You Feel Too?
If You’re Currently Frustrated And Living With A Tennis Injury, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
- “Dr. Google’s” advice didn’t work and left you with more questions than answers.
- The Doctor’s advice of rest, painkillers, and a support didn’t get you any closer to exercising without pain.
- Someone told you that Tennis Elbow Injuries happen and slowing down happens to everyone as they get older, so you just accepted it.
- You visited other Healthcare Professionals or a Physical Therapist in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help.
- You’ve tried YouTube exercises and taping, but it didn’t seem to make a lasting impact.
- You tried rest, but as soon as you start getting back to your sport the pain came back.
- Sports and deep tissue massages, helped you feel better for a little while, but didn’t help to fix your injury long term…
If any of these have happened to you – we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our Tennis Specialist Physical Therapists at KinetikChain Denver to find out what can be done to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work – you are closer to finding the thing that does!
Click the link below to book a call with us if you would like to get some solid advice given to you over the phone. The phone call is complementary and there is no obligation to book any appointments with us after the call is over. Our goal is to help you make the right decision about what to do next for your pain and limitations.
- 1. You need to make a decision about getting help. So many people hesitate to make a decision for so long, and before you know it 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, nothing’s changed, and they still aren’t able to do what they want to do how they want to do it... Or it gets worse and you are not able to participate at all.
- 2. Do the RIGHT exercises - one of the best things to help you recover quickly and safely from an injury is to do the right series of progressed exercises for your specific tennis injury - the right exercises given to you by a Physical Therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move easier and get back to playing quick - and make sure that the problems don’t come back any time soon.
- 3. Avoid “too much rest” - while early on rest is an important part of the recovery process, too much rest can set you back. Most people think that total rest after a tennis elbow injury is the best idea. However, for an injury to quickly recover optimal blood flow is needed, which rest prevents. It would really help if you were given appropriate recovery and strengthening exercises to heal the injury, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy again as quickly as possible.
- 4. Get real, “hands-on” Physio Physical Therapy is proven to help people with Tennis and sports injuries. In fact at KinetikChain Denver we help people recover from sports injuries every day. If your injury is stopping you from swinging, running, cutting, playing, or keeping active, if it’s affecting your job, or if it gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends - Physical Therapy can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.
